Aprašymas
While almost every advanced democracy has become more ethnically diverse over the past century, ethnic minorities remain dramatically underrepresented in elected government positions in proportion to the general population. Do these differences in representation change how legitimate voters think the political system is?
Drawing on surveys and election studies in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, Feodor Snagovsky examines whether the ethnic composition of legislatures affects how responsive both white and non-white voters think their political system is to their interests. He finds only limited evidence that this descriptive representation shapes how ethnic-minority voters feel about their governments. More concerning is the belief of many ethnic-majority voters that the presence of non-white legislators threatens their own political interests.
Who Cares About Representation? challenges our assumptions about why representation matters and reveals white grievance as a pressing problem for pluralism and liberal democracy.
