The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship between proportional representation voting system and the size of government via its effects on political equilibrium. The multiparty spatial competition on tax-transfer policy and the post-electoral coalition formation are examined. The implemented policy does not necessarily reflect the median voters preference, ranging from laissez-faire to a redistributive economy according to income distribution. It can even reflect the preference of the lower income class in spite of equal income distribution, leading to the large-scale redistribution. Our results can explain the heterogeneous sizes of government observed among European proportional representation democracies.The author is grateful for helpful comments to Masahiro Ashiya, Nobuaki Hori, Moriki Hosoe, Toshihiro Ihori, Tatsuro Kuroda, Yasuhiro Sato, and seminar participants at the University of Tokyo, Kyushu University, and Nagoya University. 相似文献

Condorcet efficiencies under the maximal culture condition 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The Condorcet winner in an election is a candidate that could defeat each other candidate in a series of pairwise majority
rule elections. The Condorcet efficiency of a voting rule is the conditional probability that the voting rule will elect the
Condorcet winner, given that such a winner exists. The study considers the Condorcet efficiency of basic voting rules under
various assumptions about how voter preference rankings are obtained. Particular attention is given to situations in which
the maximal culture condition is used as a basis for obtaining voter preferences.

We study the strategic behavior of voters in a spatial model of proportional representation, in which the policy space is multidimensional. Our main finding is that in large electorate, under some assumptions on voters’ preferences, voters essentially vote, in any equilibrium, only for the extreme parties. 相似文献

Analysing photographs of abandoned hotel rooms, we forensically classify hotel guests who left their rooms into three ideal types. Goffman’s idea of impression management is central for indicating ideal-type specific behavioural motivations. Under the condition of relative anonymity provided in hotel rooms, the audience for which guests manage impressions is either absent or the guests themselves who construct it. In the case of an audience to be seen as relevant it is either an internalised audience, guiding one’s behaviour, or it is a real audience. We demonstrate that it is possible to classify guests according to forensic analysis of the clues that identify their behaviours as (1) authentic, that is independent from an audience; (2) guided internally by an imagined audience; or (3) influenced by the perception of a real audience. The sociological categories of power and status are used to systematically differentiate behaviours of our three ideal-typical classes of hotel guests. 相似文献

本文以许烺光在《家元——日本的真髓》中提出的文化比较维他命模式为参照,梳理并归纳了许烺光对中国、美国、印度文化的比较研究以及中日文化比较研究。笔者发现许烺光的维他命分析模式具有跨越主客位的优势,从而为系统地研究不同文化之间的异同提供了逻辑起点。许烺光的人类学反思作品《彻底个人主义的省思》,则主要着眼于为不同文化之痛提供纠偏处方。其海外研究的主要缺憾在于历史的局限性,以及运用平均社会人假设,从而忽略了人的能动性。与此同时,维他命的分析框架还陷入了东方式的直观主义。但总的来说,许烺光的学术胸怀与学术探索值得致力于海外研究的晚近后辈学习与参考。 相似文献

While majority cycles may pose a threat to democratic decision making, actual decisions based inadvertently upon an incorrect
majority preference relation may be far more expensive to society. We study majority rule both in a statistical sampling and
a Bayesian inference framework. Based on any given paired comparison probabilities or ranking probabilities in a population
(i.e., culture) of reference, we derive upper and lower bounds on the probability of a correct or incorrect majority social
welfare relation in a random sample (with replacement). We also present upper and lower bounds on the probabilities of majority
preference relations in the population given a sample, using Bayesian updating. These bounds permit to map quite precisely
the entire picture of possible majority preference relations as well as their probabilities. We illustrate our results using
survey data.

We demonstrate that winner selection in two prominent proportional representation voting systems is a computationally intractable
problem—implying that these systems are impractical when the assembly is large. On a different note, in settings where the
size of the assembly is constant, we show that the problem can be solved in polynomial time. 相似文献

A main goal of this paper is to show how lattice analysis and the computer program GLAD can help in understanding the associations among psychological/somatic handicaps for a population of children excluded from school because of those handicaps. The lattices can be taken as a conceptual as well as an implicational model of multiple handicaps because of their capacity for formalizing the definitions of disorders in terms of extensions or intensions. Certain substructures of the lattice, weighted by the frequencies of the subject groups, can display the assessed associations between handicaps, thus addressing quite directly the research questions of the health services. 相似文献

A compressed graph representation for use with the Mexican political networks is introduced. Properties of these graphs are investigated. It is also explained how the Jorge–Schmidt power centrality index can be used to index the centrality of nodes in the original network from the compressed graph representation. 相似文献

Any intervention against poverty is not so much an administrative process as a social relation between categories of actors that are partly defined by it. Being a social action, it implies a construction of meaning that will guide the behavior of the actors. This semantic network needs an interpretation. This article presents a simplified model (an "ideal-type") of this meaningful interaction. It will contrast the way the professional actors of the poverty field present poverty and poor people and the way poor people themselves present their situation and the difficulties they face. This comparison will show the great distance between these discourses. 相似文献

A set of sufficient conditions for representability of preference orders on real sequence spaces is analyzed. In particular, monotonicity and continuity of the order is not assumed. Two applications are worked out to demonstrate how such a result might be useful. 相似文献

Many real-world social networks are hypergraphs because they either explicitly support membership in groups or implicitly include communities. We present the HyperBC algorithm that exactly computes betweenness centrality (or BC) in hypergraphs. The forward phase of HyperBC and the backpropagation phase are specifically tailored for BC computation on hypergraphs. In addition, we present an efficient method for pruning networks through the notion of “non-bridging” vertices. We experimentally evaluate our algorithm on a variety of real and artificial networks and show that it significantly speeds up the computation of BC on both real and artificial hypergraphs, while at the same time, being very memory efficient. 相似文献

This article addresses the issue of the resistance of European nations to granting unnaturalized citizens the right to vote in local, regional, and national elections. It argues that this political inflexibility contrasts with the economic flexibility these nations demonstrated when they made a call for labor to overseas populations, former colonies, and other countries, and which they exhibit now as they work to modernize production systems in their industries. Because of this lack of political representation, local authorities have proven disinterested in migrants' concerns and migrants have become subjects of the labor market, rather than of the law. Overall "political underdevelopment" will only intensify the turbulence projected for Europe's economy. 相似文献

In 1948 Manivald Sein made a series of photographs as he crossed the Atlantic Ocean, illegally, on board the Walnut. He was one of 347 passengers, mostly Estonian refugees, who escaped Soviet occupation near the end of Second World War and who were again fleeing Stalin's wrath after living in Sweden for four years. This article will examine the various ways photographs taken by refugees in transit not only give a voice to their experience, but more importantly, allow outsiders to see them as complex human beings, which in turn provides a powerful counterpoint to prevailing stereotypes. 相似文献

This essay focuses on the possibility of adopting a representational approach for technoscience, in which representation is considered as a situated process of dynamic "intra-action" (Barad 2007). Re-elaborating the recent critiques of representationalism (Thrift 2008), my analysis begins by analysing Hayles's situated model of representation from an early essay where she explains her definition of constrained constructivism (Hayles [1991] 1997). The essay then discusses the notions of figuration and diffraction and the way they are employed by Haraway in many of her writings for her critique of technoscience (Haraway 1991, 1997). Finally, after considering diffraction through Barad's reading of this practice in the context of her theory of agential realism (2007), it shows the links that relate constrained constructivism, situated knowledge and agential realism, and the way all of them work at "diffract[ing] the rays of technoscience" (Haraway 1997: 16) through an alternative representational practice. 相似文献
