商品簡介
"Holzner has crafted a challenging, thoughtful, and provocative interpretation contradicting theories that suggest democracy increases political participation among the poor. This work is particularly relevant to Mexico, but Holzner's conclusions have widespread implications for any society completing the transition to a democratic model. A welcome, fresh insight to the consequences of democratic transitions in the region."---Roderic Ai Camp, Claremont McKenna College
"An excellent study of the paradoxical decline in political participation among Mexico's poor in the wake of democratization and decentralization, Holzner combines qualitative and quantitative methods in a clear and accessible way, and the interview data is especially rich and illuminating."---Katrina Burgess, Tufts University
Political participation rates have declined steadily in Mexico since the 1990s, most severely among the poor, producing a stratified pattern that mirrors Mexico's socioeconomic inequalities. Poverty of Democracy examines the political marginalization of Mexico's impoverished citizens despite their key role in the struggle for democracy.
Claudio A. Holzner uses extensive case study evidence to show how the institutionalization of free-market democracy created a political system that discourages the political participation of Mexico's poor by limiting their access to politicians at the local and national level. In addition, Holzner shows that at the local level, deeply rooted enclaves of authoritarianism and clientelism still constrict people's political opportunities.
To explain this phenomenon, Holzner develops an institutional theory in which party systems, state-society linkages, and public policies determine citizens' political activity. These institutions shape patterns of political participation by conferring and distributing resources, thereby motivating or discouraging an interest in politics, and affecting the level of political activity by citizens from different income groups.
