"Democracy and Disenfranchisement" - книга, в которой психологи, политологи и эксперты по избирательному праву представляют многопрофильную перспективу на процесс голосования. Авторы рассматривают характеристики личности, такие как мотивация, ценности и эффективность, а также демографические переменные, такие как образование, возраст и социальный класс. В книге исследуется взаимоотношение между функциями голосования для индивидуума и общества: взаимодействие между людьми и институтами порождает восприятие легитимности или нелегитимности правительства, а также чувство принадлежности или отчужденности у индивидуума.
Award-winning political scientist and national Democratic Jewish Committee veteran Rick Hoyle explores the conundrums voters face and discusses the ways in which individual trajectories intersect with unjust outcomes in our democracies. Whether voters are disenfranchised because of inaccessible road maps or convoluted voting practices, it is paying closer attention to character backgrounds, framing issues, preferences, time pressures, and excluded communities that will best prepare future participants in American democracy. Voting scholars, political theorists, election administrators, and voters themselves offer guidance on myriad topics ranging from "redistricting for the incompetent" to legislation designed to motivate and reach out to newly mobile households. Authorities on election behavior synthesize research across disciplines including political science, psychology, sociology, and legal studies to examine how motivations, efficacy, and even semantics can undermine civic commitments, contributing to disenfranchisements and generating other forms of perceived vote loss within the population at large and among its most vulnerable citizens. The result is a timely and well-rounded examination of the factors driving whether and how individuals participate in democratic societies.
Voting in elections is explored from a variety of psychological, political, and legal perspectives. Motivations, values, efficacy, and demographic factors such as age, education, social class are all considered in terms of their influence on voting behavior. The roles that voting plays in the perceptions of individual and collective legitimacy, and how these perceptions affect voting, are examined.
