20.500.12556/DKUM-35292 Ethnic minorities and political participation: a comparative study of Post-Yugoslav countries Etnične manjšine in politična participacija: primerjalna analiza postjugoslovanskih držav Understanding patterns of political participation of ethnic minorities is crucial for their integration within postcommunist European countries most of which are ethnically complex and with histories of conflicts. Past research on the relationship between political participation and ethnicity in the democracies has given mixed results and there seems to be a research gap in the literature regarding the patterns of political participation of minorities in postcommunist states. The present study examined differences on two measures of political participation in a representative sample of post-Yugoslav citizens. Employed data source was the South-East European Social Survey Project (SEESSP), fielded in 2003 and 2004. The SEESSP covered six former Yugoslav entities (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Serbia). Results indicated that ethnic minorities had lower levels of electoral participation in four out of six analysed political entities, and had lower levels of party membership in three countries. In addition, a significant voter turnout gap existed among different minorities within individual countries. Finally, no major differences in motives behind political participation were found when comparing the association between authoritarian attitudes and political participation within majority and minority groups. Implications of the results are discussed. political participation political culture post-Yugoslav societies cross-national studies ethnic minorities democratization politična participacija politična kultura postjugoslovanske družbe mednarodne primerjave etnične manjšine demokratizacija true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2012-06-07 10:27:11 2012-06-07 10:27:11 2024-02-16 11:49:05 2021-04-14 03:53:49 2012 0 0 str. 6-23 št. 1 Letn. 5 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1855-0541 316.334 234841088 19011848 10.12959/issn.1855-0541.IIASS-2012-no1-art01 1855-0541 URN:SI:UM:DK:T6BSSP3I IIASS_2012_Tavcar_Krajnc,_Flere,_Kirbis_ETHNIC_MINORITIES_AND_POLITICAL_PARTICIPATION_A_COMPARATIVE_STUDY_OF_POST-YUGOSLAV_COUNTRIES.pdf IIASS_2012_Tavcar_Krajnc,_Flere,_Kirbis_ETHNIC_MINORITIES_AND_POLITICAL_PARTICIPATION_A_COMPARATIVE_STUDY_OF_POST-YUGOSLAV_COUNTRIES.pdf 1 A9E577E2B2ADF248708BE241F8736F16 ac3de03d1b6ce16e939e532ab72b2ea3ecd6913940cec449d8eb4eb21cdf7e9a fa46caac-7c07-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca 20.500.12556/dkum/429e3cc2-8d36-4714-83d5-2e47088e0b30 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=113743 http://www.iiass.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=844 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=46163 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
