研究代表权不平等的研究人员争论的是,政府是否能更好地代表富人的偏好,而不是那些不太富裕的公民的偏好。我们认为,高地位和低地位公民的问题已经在议程设置阶段被区别对待。如果富裕和不富裕的公民对政府应该解决哪些问题有不同的优先考虑,那么这些不同的群体优先考虑就解释了为什么政府倾向于社会地位高的公民而不是社会地位低的公民。由于知名度、资源和社会关系的不同,政府在立法议程中更关注社会地位高的公民认为重要的事情,而对社会地位低的公民的问题关注较少。我们在研究设计中结合了三种类型的数据。首先,我们从2002年至2016年10个欧洲国家的欧洲晴雨表数据中提取了所有地位群体的政策优先事项(最重要的问题),并将这些信息与比较议程项目的政策结果数据进行了匹配。然后,我们通过对三个单一国家在更长的时间序列上的研究进行重点比较来加强我们的结果。我们表明,优先级差距存在,并具有代表性的后果。我们的分析对理解地位群体的不平等代表权具有重要意义,因为它揭示了政治过程中一个重要但迄今尚未探索的方面。由于政治议程的错误陈述发生在政策制定过程的最初阶段,其后果可能比不平等的优惠待遇更为严重。
Researchers on inequalities in representation debate about whether governments represent the preferences of the rich better than those of less affluent citizens. We argue that problems of high‐ and low‐status citizens are treated differently already at the agenda‐setting stage. If affluent and less affluent citizens have different priorities about which issues should be tackled by government, then these divergent group priorities explain why government favours high‐ over low‐status citizens. Due to different levels of visibility, resources and social ties, governments pay more attention to what high‐status citizens consider important in their legislative agenda and pay less attention to the issues of low‐status citizens. We combined three types of data for our research design. First, we extracted the policy priorities (most important issues) for all status groups from Eurobarometer data between 2002 and 2016 for 10 European countries and matched this information with data on policy outcomes from the Comparative Agendas Project. We then strengthen our results using a focused comparison of three single country studies over longer time series. We show that a priority gap exists and has representational consequences. Our analysis has important implications for the understanding of the unequal representation of status groups as it sheds light on an important, yet so far unexplored, aspect of the political process. Since the misrepresentation of political agendas occurs at the very beginning of the policy‐making process, the consequences are potentially even more severe than for the unequal treatment of preferences.
