摘要

摘要我们对36个州的美国立法者进行了调查，以了解新冠肺炎疫情以及向远程工作的相关转变如何影响立法者的代表角色。我们的研究结果提供了提示性证据，表明疫情期间的远程工作减少了决策活动，同时增加了选区服务。受访者报告称，在立法机构和所在地区推进项目的能力下降，总体工作量增加。尽管如此，立法者似乎致力于他们作为民选代表的角色。

Policymaking, Constituency Service, and the Pandemic: How Working Remotely Transformed U.S. State Legislators’ Representative Roles

ABSTRACT We surveyed U.S. legislators in 36 states in order to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic – and the related shift to remote work – affected legislators’ representative roles. Our results offer suggestive evidence that remote work during the pandemic diminished policymaking activities while increasing constituency service. Respondents reported decreased ability to move projects forward in the legislature and in their districts, and increased workloads overall. Nonetheless, legislators seem committed to their roles as elected representatives.

期刊介绍： This change in scope follows two paths. Firstly, it seeks contributors who are interested in exploring the interface between democratic practice and theory. In particular, this focus seeks contributions that apply theoretical insights to actual examples of current practice. Secondly, while not neglecting the current focus of the journal, we would like to expand its international coverage so that the journal will offer our readers insights in the state of democracy worldwide.
