Abstract

Based on an original survey (n = 1,017), this paper examines citizens’ participation patterns in the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ (‘TRNC’), a de facto state recognised only by Turkey. Since 1974 the ‘TRNC’ has been receiving a constant flow of immigrants from its patron state (Turkey). While Turkish immigrants make up a sizeable proportion of the electorate, they seem to be underrepresented in the political arena. Our findings show that, in determining the level of political participation, socio-economic factors are pre-eminent while having an immigrant background has only very limited effect and gender does not have any impact.
