abstract: 'ObjectiveHow does economic inequality shape participation in political
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
campaigns? Previous research has found that higher inequality makes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
people of all incomes less likely to participate in politics, consistent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with relative power theory, which holds that greater inequality enables
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wealthier citizens to more fully reshape the political landscape to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their own advantage. Campaign activities, however, demand more time and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
money than previously examined forms of participation and so might
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
better conform to the predictions of resource theory, which focuses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
narrowly on the ramifications of inequality for individuals'' resources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MethodsWe combine individual-level data on donations, meeting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attendance, and volunteer work for political campaigns with measures of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
state-level income inequality to construct a series of multilevel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
models.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ResultsThe analyses reveal that, where inequality is higher, campaign
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation is lower among individuals of all incomes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ConclusionsPatterns of participation in even resource-intensive campaign
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
activities provide support for the relative power theory.'
