Electoral Participation in Newly Consolidated Democracies

This book examines why people vote in the newly consolidated democracies of Africa, Latin America, East Asia, and Central and Eastern European countries.

It addresses the question of how well models or theories of electoral participation, initially developed in established democracies, travel to new democracies. Based on recent cross-national survey data, it provides the first systematic and comparative evaluation of this topic. Drawing on political science, sociology, and psychology approaches, it reveals what is distinctive about voting in new democracies and how they compare between themselves and with more established democracies.

This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of political participation, public opinion, voting behaviour, electoral politics, and political parties as well as to international organisations and NGOs working in the field of democracy promotion and in emerging democracies.

Elvis Bisong Tambe is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden.

Contents

Despite my personal efforts in writing this study on electoral participation in newly consolidated democracies, the success of this book cannot be attributed entirely to my own efforts. Rather, it has been the outcome of the contributions of various individuals who assisted me either directly or indirectly. First, special thanks go to my PhD supervisors at the University of Sussex, Paul Webb and Rekha Diwaker. Their contribution and support to the whole process of my studies were just outstanding, and without their guidance, help, and direction, I could never have managed to write this book. Paul has been an exceptional supervisor and mentor, even after I completed my time at Sussex. He had patience in reading through my book proposal and the final manuscript providing me with extra suggestions and comments before I could submit it to the publisher. Also, Paul was very encouraging when I sought an academic position.

The academic job market is tough and quite depressing. As I moved from one short-term position to another, Paul persistently wrote uncountable reference letters for me, while equally providing me with tips on how to approach the few interviews I had in the UK, the US, and Sweden. Moreover, he checked on me and my family over and over again to see how I was doing. A major disadvantage of undertaking a PhD study in the UK, as a self-sponsored student without any sort of financial support (i.e. it truly feels like a miracle that all is now completed!), is that I was unable to build a good research network during my PhD time as I had to work full-time while studying. The implication is that this somehow fell back on Paul, as I had to ask him to offer me comments/suggestions for virtually every piece of writing I did and which he did every time without hesitating. All said, words cannot describe my admiration and respect for Paul.

Second, I am also thankful to Aleks Szczerbiak and Benjamin Stanley who were actively involved in the supervisory process during the initial stages of my PhD. Also, Aleks was kind enough to read my original book proposal that was submitted at Routledge. The initial period of my doctoral project was indeed the most challenging. I can still remember vividly my first supervisory meeting with Paul Webb and Aleks Szczerbiak on 20 January 2014 at room F16 (i.e. the old site of the Politics Department before it moved to Freeman Building), which was quite intimidating having read a profile of each of them before moving to Sussex and discovering that they both possess a substantial record in comparative research. Like a son taking the final advice from his father before leaving home, I still remember vividly Aleks saying
