Abstract

Is ethnic inequality associated with aversion to authoritarian regimes and increase support for democracy as a means of influencing redistribution? Using four rounds of Afrobarometer panel data, covering 29 African countries and 353 distinct ethnic groups, and an ordered logistic model, we show that a rise in Between-ethnic inequality (BGI) is associated with an increase support for anti-authoritarianism and that its effects strengthen as Within-ethnic inequality (WGI) decreases. We  find that individuals most strongly support democracy when ethnic identity is reinforced by economic inequality. We also show that support for a change of regime is reinforced when some ethnic groups believe they are politically excluded from government.
撒哈拉以南非洲的种族不平等与反威权主义
种族不平等是否与厌恶独裁政权和增加对民主的支持有关,民主是影响再分配的一种手段?使用四轮Afrobarometer面板数据,涵盖29个非洲国家和353个不同的种族群体,以及有序的逻辑模型,我们发现种族间不平等(BGI)的增加与对反威权主义的支持增加有关,并且随着种族内不平等(WGI)的减少,其影响也会加强。我们发现,当经济不平等加剧了种族认同时,个人最强烈地支持民主。我们还表明,当一些族裔群体认为他们在政治上被排除在政府之外时,对政权更迭的支持就会得到加强。
