How do citizens hold local politicians accountable? I argue that citizens, especially through neighborhood associations, can use bloc voting as a bottom-up, grassroots strategy to pressure politicians for public services. Politicians monitor polling station voting, and communities switch allegiance if politicians do not deliver. I measure the perceived and actual relationships between community characteristics, bloc voting, and water access—an essential resource prone to political manipulation. I analyze an original household survey and conjoint experiment merged with electoral data in rural Brazil, and qualitative interviews illustrate theoretical mechanisms. Bloc voting is more likely in communities with high trust and participation, and bloc voting improves water access for association members. However, this strategy is only worthwhile for communities that can demonstrate their vote at their polling station. In contrast to top-down explanations of bloc voting, I highlight the interaction of collective action and electoral institutions for accountability and public service provision.
公民如何让地方政客负起责任?我认为,公民,特别是通过社区协会,可以使用集团投票作为一种自下而上的基层策略,向政治家施压,要求他们提供公共服务。政客们监督投票站的投票,如果政客们没有兑现承诺,社区就会改变对他们的忠诚。我衡量了社区特征、集团投票和水资源获取(一种容易被政治操纵的基本资源)之间的感知和实际关系。我分析了巴西农村的原始住户调查和结合选举数据的联合实验,并通过定性访谈阐述了理论机制。团体投票更有可能在高度信任和参与的社区进行,团体投票可以改善协会成员的用水情况。然而,这种策略只对那些能够在投票站展示投票的社区有价值。与自上而下对集团投票的解释不同,我强调了集体行动和选举机构在问责制和公共服务提供方面的相互作用。

Litigation for Sale: Private Firms and WTO Dispute Escalation 出售诉讼:私营企业与WTO争端升级

This article presents a theory of lobbying by firms for trade liberalization, not through political contributions, but instead through contributions to the litigation process at the World Trade Organization (WTO). In this “litigation for sale” model, firms signal information about the strength and value of potential cases and the government selects cases based on firms’ signals. Firms play a key role in monitoring and seeking enforcement of international trade law by signaling information and providing a bureaucratic subsidy, which increases a state’s ability to pursue the removal of trade barriers and helps explain the high success rate for WTO complainants. The theory’s implications are consistent with in-depth interviews with 38 trade experts and are tested through an analysis of WTO dispute initiation.
本文提出了企业为贸易自由化进行游说的理论,不是通过政治献金,而是通过对世界贸易组织(WTO)诉讼程序的贡献。在这种“诉讼出售”模式中,公司发出有关潜在案件的强度和价值的信息,政府根据公司的信号选择案件。企业通过发出信息信号和提供官僚补贴,在监督和寻求国际贸易法的执行方面发挥着关键作用,这增加了一个国家寻求消除贸易壁垒的能力,并有助于解释世贸组织申诉的高成功率。该理论的含义与对38位贸易专家的深入访谈一致,并通过对WTO争端启动的分析进行了检验。

Abstract The notion that popular vigilance is central to safe-guarding democratic freedoms is a key pillar of republican political thought. Yet, this conception does not translate well to postcolonial contexts without some reconceptualization. In this article, I take up the ways in which two African statesmen and political theorists, Julius Nyerere and Thomas Sankara, reconceptualize the practice of vigilance in the postcolonial context. Both theorists demonstrate that the collective exercise of vigilance is a qualitatively different political practice in the postcolonial context because citizens must simultaneously target internal domination from elites and external domination from international institutions and former colonial powers. Furthermore, they underscore that a shared political vision in the form of a national ethic is crucial for generating and guiding mass practices of vigilance. Doing so, Nyerere and Sankara articulate a distinct tradition of postcolonial republicanism that better conceptualizes the challenges of stabilizing state–society relations in postcolonial Africa.
民众警惕是保障民主自由的核心,这是共和政治思想的重要支柱。然而,如果没有重新概念化,这一概念就不能很好地转化为后殖民语境。在这篇文章中,我将介绍朱利叶斯·尼雷尔和托马斯·桑卡拉这两位非洲政治家和政治理论家在后殖民背景下重新定义警惕实践的方式。两位理论家都证明,在后殖民背景下,集体警惕性的行使是一种质的不同的政治实践,因为公民必须同时针对来自精英的内部统治和来自国际机构和前殖民大国的外部统治。此外,它们强调,以民族伦理形式的共同政治理想对于产生和指导群众的警惕做法是至关重要的。这样做,尼雷尔和桑卡拉阐明了后殖民共和主义的独特传统,更好地概念化了后殖民非洲稳定国家-社会关系的挑战。

Instrumentally Inclusive: The Political Psychology of Homonationalism 工具性包容:同国主义的政治心理学

Can nativist attitudes condition support for LGBT+ rights? The sustained advance in pro-LGBT+ attitudes in the West often contrasts with the greening of anti-immigrant sentiment propagated by nativist supply-side actors. We argue that these parallel trends are causally connected, theorizing that exposure to sexually conservative ethnic out-groups can provoke an instrumental increase in LGBT+ inclusion, particularly among those hostile toward immigration. Leveraging experiments in Britain and Spain, we provide causal evidence that citizens strategically liberalize their levels of support for LGBT+ rights when opponents of these measures are from the ethnic out-group. In a context where sexuality-based liberalism is nationalized, increasing tolerance toward LGBT+ citizens is driven by a desire among nativist citizens to socially disidentify from those out-groups perceived as inimical to these nationalized norms. Our analyses provide a critical interpretation of positive trends in LGBT+ tolerance with instrumental liberalism masking lower rates of genuine shifts in LGBT+ inclusion.
本土主义的态度能否成为支持LGBT+权利的条件?西方支持lgbt +态度的持续进步,往往与本土主义供应方行动者宣传的反移民情绪的“绿色化”形成鲜明对比。我们认为,这些平行的趋势是因果联系的,从理论上讲,接触性保守的种族外群体可以促进LGBT+的包容性增加,特别是在那些对移民怀有敌意的人群中。利用英国和西班牙的实验,我们提供了因果证据,表明当反对这些措施的人来自外族裔群体时,公民在战略上放宽了对LGBT+权利的支持水平。在以性为基础的自由主义被民族化的背景下,对LGBT+公民越来越多的宽容是由本土主义公民的一种愿望驱动的,即在社会上不认同那些被视为对这些民族化规范有害的外群体。我们的分析为LGBT+宽容的积极趋势提供了批判性的解释,工具自由主义掩盖了LGBT+包容的真正转变率较低。

Anarchy, Scarcity, Nature: Rousseau’s Stag Hunt and the Arctic Walrus Hunt Compared 无政府、稀缺、自然:卢梭猎鹿与北极海象之比较

Under conditions of anarchy, the predominant assumption is that scarcity leads to conflict. I contrast traditional Inuit walrus hunt practices to Rousseau’s stag hunt to demonstrate how mainstream international relations has it wrong on three counts: (1) radical scarcity need not lead to conflict-prone outcomes, (2) the historical eighteenth-century context of the stag hunt does not prove a predisposition against cooperation, and (3) the conditions of anarchy are irreducible to cultural institutions or to material constraints alone. I leverage Latour’s “symmetrical anthropology” to demonstrate that ideas and things have an equal potential to structure the culture of anarchical relations and to build on the literature which has established that comparative cultural data can be used to theorize anarchy. Rethinking the logic of anarchy is especially important in the age of the Anthropocene, given the prospects for radical ecological change in the near future.
在无政府状态下,主要的假设是匮乏导致冲突。我将传统的因纽特人猎海象实践与卢梭的猎鹿实践进行对比,以证明主流国际关系在三个方面是错误的:(1)激进的稀缺不一定会导致容易发生冲突的结果,(2)18世纪猎鹿的历史背景并没有证明反对合作的倾向,(3)无政府状态的条件不能归结为文化制度或物质限制。我利用拉图尔的“对称人类学”来证明,思想和事物具有同样的潜力,可以构建无政府关系的文化,并建立在已经建立了比较文化数据可以用来将无政府状态理论化的文献的基础上。在人类世时代,考虑到在不久的将来会发生剧烈的生态变化,重新思考无政府状态的逻辑尤为重要。

Representation and Forest Conservation: Evidence from India’s Scheduled Areas 代表性和森林保护:来自印度表列地区的证据

How does political representation affect conservation? We argue that the mixed evidence in the literature may be driven by institutional arrangements that provide authority to marginalized communities, but do not make adequate arrangements to truly boost their voice in resource management. We study a 1996 law that created local government councils with mandated representation for India’s Scheduled Tribes (ST), a community of one hundred million. Using difference-in-differences designs, we find that the dramatic increase in ST representation led to a substantial increase in tree cover and a reduction in deforestation. We present suggestive evidence that representation enabled marginalized communities to better pursue their interests, which, unlike commercial operations such as mining, are compatible with forest conservation. While conservation policy tends to stress environmentally focused institutions, we suggest more attention be given to umbrella institutions, such as political representation, which can address conservation and development for marginalized communities in tandem.
政治代表如何影响保护?我们认为,文献中的混合证据可能是由制度安排驱动的,这些制度安排为边缘化社区提供了权力,但没有做出充分的安排来真正提高他们在资源管理中的发言权。我们研究了1996年的一项法律,该法律为拥有一亿人口的印度在册部落(ST)创建了具有法定代表权的地方政府委员会。使用差异设计,我们发现ST代表性的急剧增加导致了树木覆盖率的大幅增加和森林砍伐的减少。我们提出了一些有启发性的证据,证明代表权使边缘化社区能够更好地追求自己的利益,这与采矿等商业经营不同,与森林保护是相容的。虽然保护政策倾向于强调以环境为重点的机构,但我们建议更多地关注伞式机构,如政治代表,这可以同时解决边缘化社区的保护和发展问题。

How well do governments represent the societies they serve? A key aspect of this question concerns the extent to which leaders reflect the demographic features of the population they represent. To address this important issue in a systematic manner, we propose a unified approach for measuring descriptive representation. We apply this approach to newly collected data describing the ethnic, linguistic, religious, and gender identities of over fifty thousand leaders serving in 1,552 political bodies across 156 countries. Strikingly, no country represents social groups in rough proportion to their share of the population. To explain this shortfall, we focus on compositional factors—the size of political bodies as well as the number and relative size of social groups. We investigate these factors using a simple model based on random sampling and the original data described above. Our analyses demonstrate that roughly half of the variability in descriptive representation is attributable to compositional factors.
政府在多大程度上代表了他们所服务的社会?这个问题的一个关键方面涉及领导人在多大程度上反映了他们所代表的人口的人口特征。为了系统地解决这一重要问题,我们提出了一种衡量描述性表示的统一方法。我们将这种方法应用于新收集的数据,这些数据描述了在156个国家的1552个政治机构任职的5万多名领导人的种族、语言、宗教和性别认同。引人注目的是,没有一个国家代表的社会群体与他们在人口中所占的比例大致相当。为了解释这种不足,我们关注组成因素——政治机构的规模以及社会团体的数量和相对规模。我们使用基于随机抽样和上述原始数据的简单模型来研究这些因素。我们的分析表明,描述性表述中大约有一半的可变性可归因于组成因素。

Demographic Regulation and the State: Centering Gender in Our Understanding of Political Order in Early Modern European States 人口调节与国家:在我们对近代早期欧洲国家政治秩序的理解中以性别为中心

The literature on early modern state-building in Europe has focused on war as its main driver and therefore on states’ relationships with men. Feminist scholars have critiqued the Weberian conceptions this literature relies on as being gender biased. I suggest an alternative theoretical starting point for theories of early modern state-building: the political imperatives created by the demographic fluctuations of the Malthusian trap. Harnessing Foucault’s concept of biopower and its application to the construction of gender, I argue that population fluctuations incentivized demographic regulation, in particular of childbearing, in order to keep birth rates high and maternal and infant mortality low, implying that early modern European states were constituted through the construction and maintenance of gender regimes. I propose strategies for empirical investigation and argue that a more accurate account of early modern European state-building needs to incorporate demographic regulation and therefore requires gender to be at its center.
关于欧洲早期现代国家建设的文献关注的是战争作为其主要驱动力,因此关注的是国家与人的关系。女权主义学者批评这些文献所依赖的韦伯概念存在性别偏见。我为早期现代国家建设理论提出了另一种理论起点:马尔萨斯陷阱的人口波动所造成的政治必要性。利用福柯的生物权力概念及其在性别建构中的应用,我认为人口波动激励了人口调节,特别是生育,以保持高出生率和低母婴死亡率,这意味着早期现代欧洲国家是通过构建和维持性别制度而构成的。我提出了实证调查的策略,并认为对早期现代欧洲国家建设的更准确描述需要纳入人口调节,因此需要将性别置于其中心。

Who Shapes the Law? Gender and Racial Bias in Judicial Citations 谁塑造了法律?司法引文中的性别和种族偏见

In this letter, we assess whether the contributions of judges from underrepresented groups are undervalued or overlooked, thereby reducing these judges’ influence on legal policy. Drawing on an original dataset of discretionary citations to over 2,000 published federal appellate decisions, we find that the majority of opinions written by female judges receive less attention from other courts than those by similarly situated men and that this is largely attributable to disparities in citing Black women and Latinas. We also find that additional efforts by Black and Latinx judges to ground their opinions in precedent yield a much lower rate of return in subsequent citations by outside circuits than comparable work by white men and women judges. This suggests that, despite gains in diversification in the federal judiciary, stereotypes about social identities will play a powerful role in determining whose ideas receive recognition.
在这封信中,我们评估了代表性不足群体的法官的贡献是否被低估或忽视,从而减少了这些法官对法律政策的影响。根据2000多份已公布的联邦上诉裁决的自由裁量引用原始数据集,我们发现,女性法官撰写的大多数意见受到其他法院的关注程度低于处境相似的男性,这在很大程度上归因于引用黑人女性和拉丁裔人意见的差异。我们还发现,与白人男性和女性法官的类似工作相比,黑人和拉丁裔法官为将自己的意见建立在先例基础上所做的额外努力,在随后被外部法庭传讯时产生的回报率要低得多。这表明,尽管联邦司法机构在多元化方面取得了进展,但对社会身份的刻板印象将在决定谁的想法得到认可方面发挥强大作用。

We also find that additional efforts by Black and Latinx judges to ground their opinions in precedent yield a much lower rate of return in subsequent citations by outside circuits than comparable work by white men and women judges. This suggests that, despite gains in diversification in the federal judiciary, stereotypes about social identities will play a powerful role in determining whose ideas receive recognition.","PeriodicalId":48451,"journal":{"name":"American Political Science Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45603961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How do involuntary interactions with authoritarian institutions shape political engagement? The policy feedback literature suggests that interactions with authoritarian policies undercut political participation. However, research in racial and ethnic politics offers reason to believe that these experiences may increase citizens' engagement. Drawing on group attachment and discrimination research, we argue that mobilization is contingent on individuals' political psychological state. Relative to their counterparts, individuals with a politicized group identity will display higher odds of political engagement when exposed to authoritarian institutions. To evaluate our theory, we draw on the 2016 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Study to examine the experiences of Blacks, Latinos, and Asian Americans. For all subgroups and different types of institutions, we find that, for those with a politicized group identity, institutional contact is associated with higher odds of participation. Our research modifies the classic policy feedback framework, which neglects group-based narratives in the calculus of collective action.

与专制机构的非自愿互动如何影响政治参与?政策反馈文献表明,与威权政策的互动削弱了政治参与。然而,对种族和民族政治的研究提供了理由,相信这些经历可能会增加公民的参与度。通过对群体依恋和歧视的研究,我们认为动员取决于个人的政治心理状态。与同行相比,具有政治化群体身份的个人在接触威权体制时,会表现出更高的政治参与几率。为了评估我们的理论,我们借鉴了2016年多种族选举后合作研究,考察了黑人、拉丁裔和亚裔美国人的经历。对于所有的亚群体和不同类型的机构,我们发现,对于那些具有政治化群体身份的人来说,机构接触与更高的参与几率有关。我们的研究修改了经典的政策反馈框架,该框架在集体行动的计算中忽略了基于群体的叙述。
