POLI 4034 Chapter : Exam 4 Review Sp17
Document Summary
Week 13: dalton, chapters 8,9 and testing equal outcomes (gilens and page). Federalist #10: majoritarian electoral democracy- the collective will of the average citizen are empowered by elections to get their way. What is their dependent variable: whether the proposed policy was actually adopted within four years after the question was asked. What do they find (what are their results): average citizens had no influence, economic elites (very significant), business interest groups (very significant), and mass-based were significant. What do they conclude in the end concerning whether citizen preferences get considered or not: group preferences do not coincide with citizen preferences, so we are not being represented through groups. However, sometimes their preferences coincide with economic elite preferences. In what ways is participation unequal: age, education, income. In what ways does the digital divide still exist (figure 1): hundred percent of the wealthiest people use the web and e-mail and only.
