Policy Representation in Western Democracies offers a comparative analysis of policy representation in five Western Democracies: France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the US. A leading group of authors examines the impact of belief systems and geographical and institutional characteristics on the match between the policy preferences of the electorate and those of their representatives. The book offers a variety of perspectives on the conceptualization, measurement, and interpretation of congruence between mass and elite opinion. The book also evaluates the consequences of different electoral systems for policy representation.

In all societies, the quality of government institutions is of the utmost importance for the well-being of its citizens. Problems like high infant mortality, lack of access to safe water, unhappiness and poverty are not primarily caused by a lack of technical equipment, effective medicines or other types of knowledge generated by the natural or engineering sciences. Instead, the critical problem is that the majority of the world s population live in societies that have dysfunctional government institutions. Central issues discussed in the book include: how can good government be conceptualized and measured, what are the effects of 'bad government' and how can the quality of government be improved? Good Government will prove invaluable for students in political science, public policy and public administration. Researchers in political science and the social sciences, as well as policy analysts working in government, international and independent policy organizations will also find plenty to interest them in this resourceful compendium. Contributors: E. Andersson, M. Bauhr, N. Charron, C. Dahlstrom, M.A. Fardigh, S. Holmberg, V. Lapuente, S.I. Lindberg, N. Nasiritousi, H. Oscarsson, A. Persson, B. Rothstein, M. Samanni, M.

This book uses Sweden as a test case to analyze how parliament and elected representatives function in a representative democracy. Despite the status of Scandinavian countries as perhaps the world’s most egalitarian societies, the book argues that the best summary characterization of Swedish representative democracy is an elitist system run from above. The book also argues that an individualist representational model is relevant to the Swedish setting and most likely, to other settings as well. Representative democracy is not just party-based democracy - not even in a country with strong and disciplined parties. The book takes a broad approach to the study of political representation. It integrates into a single analytical framework concepts and theories from neighbouring traditions such as legislative behaviour, opinion formation and interest organizations. The study is based on a comprehensive set of data, including three surveys of the Members of the Swedish Parliament, corresponding voter surveys and content analysis of mass media and parliamentary records.

The strength of partisanship is a matter of historic importance and debate in modern democracies. Based on cutting-edge global data, the Research Handbook on Political Partisanship argues that partisanship is down, but not out, in contemporary societies. Contributors focus on four key areas of research: the role and importance of partisanship for democratic rule; how to measure and secure data on partisanship; explanations of the origins and development of partisanship; and the effects of partisanship on citizens' attitudes and behaviours, and on the function of democratic systems. Engaging with key contemporary debates, from the rise of right-wing populist parties to the effects of digitalization partisanship, this timely Research Handbook highlights the significance of political partisanship not only in the present but for the future of democracies internationally.Featuring contributions from leading scholars, this book is critical for graduate students of political science and sociology, as well as for advanced researchers investigating elections and electorates, voter trends and contemporary political parties. Policymakers and political consultants will also benefit from its insights into the political engagement of voters and the future of party-based democracy.Contributors include: J.H. Aldrich, E.

Demokratirådet 2006 handlar om mediernas roll för valrörelsen och valutgången. Rapporten utkommer i juni, tre månader före valet. Med många väljare som bestämmer sig sent i valrörelsen och som funderar på att byta parti kan medierna ha stor betydelse för valrörelsen och valutgången. Demokratirådet 2006 undersöker hur medierna påverkar, men också hur medierna påverkas. Under de närmaste åren står medier, makt och medborgare i centrum för Demokratirådets rapporter. Utgångspunkten är att demokratins grundläggande krav på fri åsiktsbildning endast kan förverkligas med självständiga och ansvarstagande medier. SNS Demokratiråd 2006: Olof Petersson, Demokratirådets ordförande (forskningsledare vid SNS), Monika Djerf-Pierre (Institutionen för journalistik och masskommunikation, Göteborgs universitet), Sören Holmberg (Institutionen för journalistik och masskommunikation, Göteborgs universitet), Jesper Strömbäck ( Institutionen för informationsteknologi och medier, Mittuniversitetet) och Lennart Weibull, (Institutionen för journalistik och masskommunikation, Göteborgs universitet).

Det är svårt att överskatta betydelsen av tillit människor emellan. Fenomenet benämns ofta social tillit inom samhällsforskningen. Utan mellanmänsklig tillit uppstår inga gemenskaper eller utbyten. Det är med tillit som väl fungerande samhällen kan byggas. Hög social tillit är ett slags socialt kapital som fungerar som ett smörjmedel när människor behöver samverka. Brist på tillit gör att många ekonomiska, yrkesmässiga och sociala utbyten och gemensamma åtaganden, vilka skulle vara till fördel både för de involverade parterna men också för samhället, uteblir. Dessa insikter gjorde att Bo Rothstein i samarbete med SOM-institutet påbörjade årliga mätningar av den sociala tilliten i Sverige i mitten av 1990-talet. Denna bok bygger på resultatet från denna tjugofemåriga mätserie som är en av de längsta i världen. Fokus ligger på hur betydelsen av social tillit skall förstås, på förändringar över tid och hur tilliten ser ut i olika sociala och politiska grupper. Sverige är fortsatt ett höglitarland, men med klara försvagningstendenser i vissa socialt utsatta grupper. Boken Social tillit i höglitarlandet Sverige består av kapitel från tidigare antologier och ingår i SOM-institutets temaserie. Författarna Bo Rothstein och Sören Holmberg är båda seniorprofessorer i statsvetenskap vid Göteborgs universitet.
