MEDINA VIDAL, Xavier. Transnational Linked Fate and Identity in Support for a Mexico-U.S. Political Union. Norteamérica [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.2, pp.7-27. ISSN 2448-7228. https://doi.org/10.20999//nam.2017.b001.
This study is an empirical analysis using survey data on the attitudes and orientations of the Mexican diaspora in the United States to explain its support for a political union between the two countries. The author articulates a theory of identity and shared affinity to explain their views on this issue. Regression analysis reveals that transnational linked fate, the belief that what happens to Mexicans in Mexico affects the lives of people of Mexican origin in the U.S., and Latino identity are significant independent predictors of support for a Mexico-U.S. political union. These findings signal the importance of the experiences of Mexicans in the U.S. to our understanding of attitudes toward North American politics.
