Political Incorporation: Conceptualization, Measurement, and Implications

Fri, September 6, 8:00 to 9:30am, Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, Salon K

Session Submission Type: Full Paper Panel

Session Description

Political incorporation is central to politics. The extent and how social demands and mobilized groups are introduced and represented in the political system have implications for its long-term stability and legitimacy. Political incorporation, however, is seldom conceptualized, measured, and analyzed in its implications. This panel brings together papers introducing new conceptualizations and measurement strategies of the phenomena and studying the consequences of different incorporation types for labor union empowerment and political parties' long-term survival. The papers use cases from Latin America, where the concept has a long-standing tradition in comparative politics.
