However, such representativeness might be in the eye of the beholder due to various definitions of, and criteria for, representativeness. This study aims to explore how citizens perceive the representativeness of their representatives and the reasons behind those perceptions. Based on a survey of 2,000 citizens in South Korea, the findings indicate: (1) the maturity of citizenship (i.e., balancing tolerance and participation) significantly influences citizens’ perceptions of the representativeness of public affairs participants, and (2) this pattern of perceived representativeness does not vary according to the representativeness type (i.e., stake, stance, service, specialty, sovereign, and socio-econ) and domain (i.e., community, corporates, and government). The findings imply (1) the existence of four distinct groups of citizens – considerate reformer, reserved endurer, silent groaner, and active grumbler – and (2) the four groups of citizens are predictors of perceived representativeness.","PeriodicalId":47833,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION","volume":"46 1","pages":"121 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44888088","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}

The book offers a comprehensive overview of different theoretical and conceptual perspectives on policy learning, policy transfer and policymaking and rich empirical descriptions of policies to reduce inequalities in various international, national, and regional arenas. A part of the book (specifically chapter 5) focuses on countries with large regional differences: the UK, Belgium, Spain and Italy. Coincidentally or not, all authors were based in Scotland at the time the research was conducted. I think the greatest contribution of the book is that it provides a conceptual lens to unravel the overwhelming amount of policy fields that – directly or indirectly, intendedly or unintendedly – affect inequalities. The starting point of the book is that there are two perspectives on the issue of (territorial) inequalities. First, the functional perspective focuses on sectoral (i.e., economic, health care) policies that aim to reduce inequalities. Second, the territorial perspective focuses on the politics and policies aimed at regional differences within countries. The authors sum up their perspective as follows: “The responsibility for policy to reduce territorial inequalities is spread across many levels and types of government, each using their own ideas, rules, and networks to make sense of policy problems.” (p. 34) The book consists of three parts. The first part provides an elaborate theoretical overview which addresses a lot of policy theories and issues, including policy transfer, policy learning, policy instruments and regional governance. The second part focuses on three domains of inequalities: health inequalities, inequalities in education, and gender inequalities. For each of these domains, the authors identify and analyse the multitude of territorial and sectoral policies that affect these inequalities – positively or negatively; intentionally or unintentionally. In the third part, conclusions are drawn from the cases and the theoretical framework, specifically about the lack of policy progress to reduce inequalities. With this book, Cairney and his colleagues convincingly illustrate the lack of coherence in the policies that deal with – or affect – the three inequalities. For instance, in the chapter about health inequalities they conclude that “The EU, along with its member states and regions, has many vague ambitions to foster greater health equity. They pursue them at the same time as the policies that are likely to have the opposite effect” (p. 111). To map the policies in each of the three domains of inequalities, the authors start by analyzing the direct and indirect policymaking responsibilities. With direct measures, they mean policy instruments designed to directly cause policy change (in the intended direction). Indirect measures have major impact on inequality outcomes, such ","PeriodicalId":47833,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION","volume":"46 1","pages":"740 - 740"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42515189","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}
