“In our paper, we study the factors shaping the formation of four different types of marriage in Switzerland: marriages with a Swiss partner, marriages with partners from the neighboring countries which are geographically proximate and where one of the official languages of Switzerland is spoken, marriages with partners from other European countries and with partners from overseas. Going beyond the current state of research, we study not only the national structural characteristics of the Swiss partner market and the individual resources of the spouses, but the actual meeting places of the partners and their reasons for being in these locations. Thus, we analyze whether, in a globalizing world and partner market, it is still primarily national opportunity structures that shape different forms of intermarriage. Using a mixed-methods approach we first show, based on census data, that the probability of these marriages is shaped by the structural opportunities of the partner market in Switzerland and individual characteristics like age and education. Second, relying on survey information, we demonstrate that bi-national relationships exhibit a specific pattern of meeting places: in particular, those couples with one partner from a non-neighboring or non-European country often meet abroad and in more open foci of activity. This has not previously been demonstrated empirically in the research literature and clearly shows that the factors shaping these marriages are not covered by a theoretical model focusing on the structural opportunities of national societies. Finally, we scrutinize narrative interviews and show that meeting a spouse abroad is the result of both specific partner preferences and patterns of spatial mobility. Thus, global opportunity structures are to a certain degree shaped by individual agency.”<\/p>\n

“Cet article \u00e9tudie les facteurs \u00e0 l\u2019\u0153uvre dans la formation de quatre types de mariages diff\u00e9rents en Suisse: mariages avec des conjoints suisses ; avec des conjoints issus des pays voisins o\u00f9 l\u2019on parle une des langues officielles de la conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration ; avec des conjoints d\u2019autres pays de l\u2019Union europ\u00e9enne ; enfin, avec des conjoints d\u2019outre-mer. Au-del\u00e0 de l\u2019\u00e9tat actuel de la recherche, sont explor\u00e9s non seulement les caract\u00e9ristiques structurelles nationales du march\u00e9 des conjoints et les ressources individuelles des partenaires, mais aussi les lieux de rencontre r\u00e9els des partenaires et la raison pour lesquelles ils s\u2019y trouvent. Il s\u2019agit ainsi d\u2019analyser si, dans un monde et un march\u00e9 des conjoints qui se globalisent, ce sont toujours les structures d\u2019opportunit\u00e9 nationales qui fa\u00e7onnent diff\u00e9rentes formes de mariage mixte. L\u2019approche employ\u00e9e est celle des m\u00e9thodes mixtes. Il est d\u2019abord d\u00e9montr\u00e9, \u00e0 l\u2019aide de donn\u00e9es de recensement, que les opportunit\u00e9s structurelles offertes par le march\u00e9 des conjoints en Suisse ainsi que des caract\u00e9ristiques individuelles comme l\u2019\u00e2ge et l\u2019\u00e9ducation ont une incidence sur la probabilit\u00e9 de ces unions. Cet article met ensuite en \u00e9vidence, en s\u2019appuyant sur des donn\u00e9es d\u2019enqu\u00eates, que les couples binationaux pr\u00e9sentent une sp\u00e9cificit\u00e9 du point de vue des lieux de rencontre: en particulier, les couples dont l\u2019un des membres est issu d\u2019un pays non voisin ou non europ\u00e9en se rencontrent souvent \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger, dans des spectres d\u2019activit\u00e9s plus larges. Ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne n\u2019a pas encore \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9montr\u00e9 empiriquement dans la litt\u00e9rature scientifique et montre clairement qu\u2019un mod\u00e8le th\u00e9orique focalis\u00e9 sur les opportunit\u00e9s structurelles de soci\u00e9t\u00e9s nationales ne rend pas compte des facteurs d\u00e9terminant ces mariages. Enfin, l\u2019analyse d\u2019entretiens narratifs met en lumi\u00e8re que la rencontre d\u2019un conjoint \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger est le r\u00e9sultat \u00e0 la fois des pr\u00e9f\u00e9rences sp\u00e9cifiques des partenaires et de constantes de mobilit\u00e9 spatiale. Ainsi les structures globales d\u2019opportunit\u00e9 sont influenc\u00e9es, dans une certaine mesure, par la puissance d\u2019agir (agency<\/i>) individuelle.”<\/p>\n
