摘要SES 0000310 PI：Theda Skocpol，Irene Bloemraad该项目研究政治移民在新国家的政治参与以及他们寻求公民身份的比率。研究了两个群体：越南人和葡萄牙人，在美国和加拿大的两个城市，两个时间段1900-1920年和1970-1991年。研究的主要重点是如何政策和两国政府制定的做法，如加拿大的官方政策，促进多元文化，有或没有影响同化率。该项目使用历史数据（早期），政府统计数据和当代访谈。结果将显示同化后的宏观结构的影响，以及增加对移民合并的一般过程的理解。

AbstractSES 0000310PI: Theda Skocpol, Irene Bloemraad This project studies political incorporation-immigrants' participation in the politics of their new countries and their rates of seeking citizenship. Two groups are studied: Vietnamese and Portuguese, in two U.S. and Canadian cities, for two time periods 1900-1920 and 1970-1991. The primary focus of study is how policies and practices instituted by the two countries' governments-such as Canada's official policy of promoting multiculturalism-have or have not affected assimilation rates. This project uses historical data (for the earlier time period), and government statistics, and interviews for the contemporary period. Results will display effects of macro-level structures upon assimilation as well as increasing understanding of general processes of immigrant incorporation.
