The article sheds light on the interplay between the Caffee, elected representatives and constituencies in Ethiopia’s ‘democratisation’ experiment within the post-1991 federal system. The empirical data for this research were collected from five zones in Oromia, namely East and West Guji, Borana, West Wallaga and Oromia Special zone surrounding Finfinne between February 2019 and June 2020 through qualitative research methodology. Leaders of indigenous institution (Gadaa system), community members, elders, members of the Caffee and local government authorities were interviewed. Ten Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and 30 key informant interviews were conducted with purposively selected informants. The research findings show that there is a big rift between the elected representatives and their constituencies in terms of representation, accountability and communication whereby party loyalty overrides representatives’ accountability to the constitution, constituencies and conscience. Thus, Ethiopia exemplifies electoral authoritarianism both at national and sub-national levels, whereby election is used as a strategy of power consolidation of the ruling party rather than as a democratic exercise.","PeriodicalId":35158,"journal":{"name":"Representation","volume":"59 1","pages":"207 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44956457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This reconceptualisation is supported and inspired by her engagement with a series of legal dramas in which conservative Christians in the (neo)liberal states of Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom ‘withdraw’ (e.g. refuse services and goods) from LGBTQ individuals and groups, thereby prompting the state to reciprocally withdraw (e.g. refuse licenses or revoke charitable status) from them. Drawing on a combination of theory and empirical data, Cooper posits that these reciprocal dramas of withdrawal – particularly those that involve conservative Christians operating as state actors (e.g. foster parents, county clerks, etc) – challenge conceptions of the state as orderly, vertical, homogenous and wholly distinct from the society over which it governs. Cooper – whose stated objective is a reconceptualisation of the state – welcomes this challenge, organising her response around two questions she sees as posed by conservative Christian withdrawal. The first is a question of state parts: what are they and how do they conceive of their relationship[s] to each other? In answering this question, she draws heavily on the legal dramas at the heart of this book in order to emphasise the plural and heterogeneous nature of the state. The second question Cooper raises is one regarding state responsibility. She asks: What practical and imaginative possibilities are made possible by thinking of the state as plural and heterogenous? Here, Cooper’s focus is on the role that play and the erotic could have in both the imagining and the functioning of a new kind of state. She concludes by offering prefigurative role-play (i.e. the act of imitating statehood on a microcosmic scale through venues such as people’s tribunals and free universities) as one modality by which progressives can experiment and engage with statehood in ‘a progressive, transformative key’ (Cooper, 2019, p. 27).","PeriodicalId":35158,"journal":{"name":"Representation","volume":"59 1","pages":"549 - 554"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47783258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This opinion congruence is most often measured by comparing preferences on a number of policy statements. While the selection of policy statements has not escaped scholarly attention, its impact on the reliability of congruence scores, i.e. the degree to which similar levels of opinion congruence are found when different samples of policy statements are used, has been less investigated. This article looks at which factors of statements samples and voters affect the reliability of congruence measures. It does so by simulating over 5 million opinion congruence scores on the basis of a dataset containing 134 voter and party policy preferences. It finds that both the number of statements and their topic diversity positively affect the reliability of congruence estimates. In addition, the congruence estimates of politically less sophisticated voters are more reliable but only when many left-right policy statements are included in the statement selection. Finally, explorative analyses suggest that increasing topic diversity also increases the validity of congruence measures.","PeriodicalId":35158,"journal":{"name":"Representation","volume":"59 1","pages":"311 - 328"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47819302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
