SES-1203714Howard Winant and Samuel PrietoUniversity of California, Santa BarbaraAbstractDoctoral Dissertation Research: Local Political Context and Immigrant Incorporation Strategies In recent years, states and local governments have begun to implement policies designed to address federal immigration mandates, ranging from attempts to shield immigrants to collaboration with federal agents. In addition, local regulations have affected e.g., immigrant access to housing, social services, and driver?s licenses. In other words, the local political context plays a major role in shaping civic participation on the part of immigrant communities. Comparing two cities in one California county that pursue notably different strategies, this dissertation project asks: How do these different local political environments shape the ways in which immigrants are incorporated into the wider community? The project draws on 50 interviews, as well as extensive on-site observation, to assess the degree to which the local political context shape the strategies of immigrants to participate in local civic life. The political context as defined here includes factors related to electoral politics, the presence and field of community organizations, law enforcement practices, and the choices made by immigrants themselves. Broader ImpactsImmigration policy is a topic of considerable public interest, as are reform efforts aimed at ensuring the successful social and political integration of immigrants. Findings from this research may be of interest to community organizations and law enforcement. Findings may permit the formulation of a set of ?best practices? of interest to policy makers and law enforcement agencies at local, state, and federal levels.

近年来，各州和地方政府已经开始实施旨在解决联邦移民任务的政策，从试图保护移民到与联邦特工合作。此外，地方法规也影响了移民获得住房、社会服务和司机资格等。年代许可证。换句话说，当地的政治环境在塑造移民社区的公民参与方面起着重要作用。比较加州一个县的两个城市，这两个城市采取了明显不同的策略，本论文项目提出：这些不同的地方政治环境如何塑造移民融入更广泛社区的方式？该项目采用了50次访谈和广泛的现场观察，以评估当地政治环境对移民参与当地公民生活的策略的影响程度。这里定义的政治背景包括与选举政治、社区组织的存在和领域、执法实践以及移民自己做出的选择有关的因素。更广泛的影响移民政策与旨在确保移民成功地融入社会和政治的改革努力一样，是一个引起公众极大兴趣的话题。这项研究的结果可能会引起社区组织和执法部门的兴趣。研究结果可能允许制定一套？最佳实践?对地方、州和联邦各级的政策制定者和执法机构感兴趣。
