The role of coethnic political mobilization in electoral incorporation: Evidence from Orange County, California
The process of political incorporation is essential for integrating immigrant and minority interests into politics. Coethnic candidates are important players in increasing the electoral participation of the politically quiescent. However, the means by which coethnic mobilization incorporates underrepresented populations remain unclear. We posit three mechanisms. First, coethnic candidates may attempt to expand the electoral base; second, their ca…
Potentiality and Representation: The Link between Descriptive Representation and Participation in the United States
One crucial element of Hanna Pitkin's (1967) definition of political representation has been relatively neglected in the voluminous literature her work has inspired. That element is what I will refer to as potentiality, the subjunctive idea that to be considered represented, citizens must feel that someone would defend their interests if those interests were threatened. Attention to potentiality provides a reason to value descriptive representati…

The Acquisition of Partisanship by Latinos and Asian Americans
In this paper we examine the acquisition of partisanship by immigrants and subsequent generations of Latinos and Asian Americans. The data we analyze are derived from a survey of California residents in late 1984.

We find age-related gains in both Democratic support and in the strength o…

Rational Turnout: The Neglected Role of Groups
Rational choice theories have difficulty accounting for individual participation in collective action. Voting is among the acts hardest to explain; consumption benefits have been proposed to account for nonzero turnout. The model presented here establishes a political investment basis for these benefits. I argue that voters often act not in isolation but as part of groups with shared interests. While individuals still vote because of consumption …
