To Vote or not to Vote?

Understanding the Ghanaian Voter
Autor:innen:
Verlag:
 2021

Zusammenfassung

Die Autorin untersucht die Unterschiede in der Wahlbeteiligung auf subnationaler Ebene bei allgemeinen Wahlen in Ghana. Sie verwendet einen Fallstudienansatz mit gemischten Methoden, bei dem quantitative und qualitative Daten kombiniert werden, um eingehende Nachweise für drei systematische Wahlkreise mit unterschiedlich hoher Wahlbeteiligung zu erbringen. Die Ergebnisse der Studie stellen die strikte Anwendung der Rational-Choice-Theorie in Frage, um ein umfassendes Verständnis der Gründe für eine unterschiedliche Wahlbeteiligung zu liefern. Das Buch entwickelt hingegen ein Modell für individuellen und kollektiven Nutzen, der das „conceptofutility“ erweitert, um Unterschiede in der Wahlbeteiligung zu erklären. Die Schlussfolgerungen aus dem Buch heben die Bedeutung des lokalen Kontexts für die Prägung des Wählerverhaltens hervor und unterstreichen die Vorrangigkeit der lokalen politischen Dynamik.
