About
Demographic, social, and cultural changes have generated new political cleavages and struggles over representation. Ageing populations, declining blue-collar workforces, and rural-to-urban migration, for instance, reshape demands and identities. Along with changing identities and cleavages, there are significant shifts in the loci of democratic engagement. Political parties, labour unions and traditional media are losing their role as primary mediators and distributors of political interests and information. Social media and the internet have become increasingly influential, fostering an emergence of ‘virtual communities’ and new forms of social movements. Thus, there is reason to believe that we are witnessing not only shifts in the sites of representation but in the degree to which they are viewed as legitimate as well.
The following publications by the Governance consortia relate to the shifting identities and representation:
