Michel Bruneau, Peuples-monde de la longue durée
Géographe spécialiste de l’Asie du Sud-Est, de la Turquie et des diasporas, Michel Bruneau signe un livre qui a ceci de remarquable qu’il s’articule autour d’une série de questions auxquelles il répond à chaque fois, laissant nonobstant la part aux interrogations en suspens quand l’état de la recherche ne permet pas d’affirmations tranchées. Son propos s’ouvre d’ailleurs par une question de portée générale qui en définit l’objet : « Pourquoi seul…
Los Congresos Estatales y la Política Federal en México
The Mexican Constitution, in the Poder Legislativo, grants state legislatures the authority to introduce legislation (iniciativas de ley) in the federal congress. In this paper the authors examine this powerful mechanism through which the Mexican state legislatures can directly influence policymaking at the federal level. Using a new data set of state-led initiatives, this work: describes the frequency with which iniciativas are introduced; descr…
Spanish-Language Media Entrepreneurship in the Statehouse
Little is known about the role of Spanish-language media in the representation of Latino constituencies in statehouses. In this article, I present analyses of elite-level data from the Media and Public Policy in the States: 2011 Survey, which reveal state legislators' attitudes and orientations toward the news media. Building on the view that Spanish-language media provide an important representational link between Hispanic constituents and their…
Fiscal Policy and Economic Inequality in the U.S. States
To what extent can state governments influence economic inequality? How do state fiscal policies of redistribution affect families in different economic situations? Using a large database of state fiscal policymaking tools (taxing and spending) between 1976 and 2006, we examine the effect of these tools on state-level inequality as well as the average incomes of families in different economic groups. We find that state taxing and spending efforts…
Public evaluations of electoral institutions in Mexico
Experience Counts
This paper draws on the legislative politics literature to explain the composition of commission assignments in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies. Members are elected to the chamber via a mixed method electoral system. Grounded in the argument of an ‘electoral connection’ and based on experiences in the German Bundestag, New Zealand, Japanese and Scottish parliaments and the Welsh Assembly, the literature to date predicts that the different routes …
Partisan Attachment and Democracy in Mexico
Party identification is a central concept in studies of parties and elections. Drawing from an extensive literature linking the concept of party identification to the understanding of Mexico's electoral politics, this article explores how the Mexican experience informs the understanding of party identification in general, especially in emerging democracies. There, voters' attachments to political parties are usually seen both as essential to and …
L'adhésion à la démocratie au Brésil
Alors que la réélection du président Lula a été plus difficile que prévu, on ne peut réduire la situation de la démocratie au Brésil à la confrontation politique. Comment la démocratie s'installe-t-elle en profondeur dans cette société caractérisée par des écarts sociaux vertigineux ? L'exemple de la relation de travail des employés de maison, encore marquée par un schéma hiérarchique, montre comment le régime de l'égalité transforme ce pays
