Download or read book The Effects of Handicaps on Turnout for Large Electorates written by Hans Gersbach and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the effect of handicaps on turnout. A handicap is a difference in the vote tally between alternatives that strategic voters take as predetermined when they decide whether to turn out for voting. Handicaps are implicit in many existing democratic procedures. Within a costly voting framework with private values, we show that turnout incentives diminish considerably across the board if handicaps are large, while low handicaps yield more mixed predictions. The results extend beyond the baseline model -- e.g. by including uncertainty and behavioral motivations -- and can be applied to the optimal design of Assessment Voting. This is a new voting procedure where (i) some randomly-selected citizens vote for one of two alternatives, and the results are published; (ii) the remaining citizens vote or abstain, and (iii) the final outcome is obtained by applying the majority rule to all votes combined. If the size of the first voting group is appropriate, large electorates will choose the majority's preferred alternative with high probability and average participation costs will be moderate or low.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le 23 mars 2019, treize pays européens, dont la France, ont ouvert le droit de vote à toutes les personnes vivant avec un handicap, redonnant ainsi leur voix à 300 000 personnes en tutelle. Parmi elles, 1 364 majeurs se sont inscrits en vue des élections européennes. Au-delà de l’anecdote, ce livre aborde le thème de la citoyenneté des personnes en situation de handicap, en creusant sur les conséquences de cette ouverture du droit de vote à toutes les personnes handicapées. Que signifie-t-elle ? Que permet-elle ? En repositionnant les personnes vivant avec un handicap non plus comme des objets de soins, mais comme des sujets de droits, elle les réhabilite dans toutes les dimensions de leur citoyenneté. Cyril Desjeux montre ainsi que ces nouvelles dispositions offrent l’opportunité de construire une société reposant sur une éthique de la responsabilité qui s’intéresse au vivre ensemble et à la manière dont chaque individu est connecté aux autres.

Download or read book Gold and Freedom written by Nicolas Barreyre and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have long treated Reconstruction primarily as a southern concern isolated from broader national political developments. Yet at its core, Reconstruction was a battle for the legacy of the Civil War that would determine the political fate not only of the South but of the nation. In Gold and Freedom, Nicolas Barreyre recovers the story of how economic issues became central to American politics after the war. The idea that a financial debate was as important for Reconstruction as emancipation may seem remarkable, but the war created economic issues that all Americans, not just southerners, had to grapple with, including a huge debt, an inconvertible paper currency, high taxation, and tariffs. Alongside the key issues of race and citizenship, the struggle with the new economic model and the type of society it created pervaded the entire country. Both were legacies of war. Both were fought over by the same citizens in a newly reunited nation. It was thus impossible for such closely related debates to proceed independently. A truly groundbreaking work, Gold and Freedom shows how much the fate of Reconstruction—and the political world it ultimately created—owed to northern sectional divisions, revealing important links between race and economy, as well as region and nation, not previously recognized.
