It takes as a departing point the literature on violent democracies and violent pluralism in the Latin American context, and more specifcally the situation in Colombia, where democratic institutions coexist with plural violence(s). Following on from studies of migrant transnational politics, the analysis focuses on the Colombian diaspora and how migrants coming from violent democracies engage politically with the home country.

Migrating from a context of pervasive violence(s) can afect migrants’ sense of transnational belonging as well as increase mistrust and indiference towards formal democratic processes.
