Exclusion by Elections develops a theory about the circumstances
under which 'class identities' as opposed to 'ethnic identities'
become salient in democratic politics, and links this theory to
issues of inequality and the propensity of governments to address
it. The book argues that in societies with even modest levels of
ethnic diversity, inequality invites ethnic politics, and ethnic
politics results in less redistribution than class politics. Thus,
contrary to existing workhorse models in social science, where
democracies are expected to respond to inequality by increasing
redistribution, the argument here is that inequality interacts with
ethnic diversity to discourage redistribution. As a result,
inequality often becomes reinforced by inequality itself. The
author explores the argument empirically by examining
cross-national patterns of voting behaviour, redistribution and
democratic transitions, and he discusses the argument's
implications for identifying strategies that can be used to address
rising inequality in the world today.
