etnične skupine in volilno obnašanje

Abstract

Sledeče diplomsko delo obravnava pomen pripadnosti volivcev družbenim skupinam in kako te pripadnosti zaznamujejo njihovo volilno obnašanje. Osredotočil sem se predvsem na pripadnost volivcev etničnim skupinam, slednjo pa primerjal s pomenom pripadnosti volivcev družbenim razredom. Na ta način sem poskušal ugotoviti, katera pripadnost volivca (etnična ali razredna) ima večjo moč pri pojasnjevanju volilnega obnašanja. Etnične skupine v tem delu so konceptualizirane zelo široko, včasih tudi po rasnih linijah, saj se večino podatkov o volilnem obnašanju v izbranih državah raziskovanja zbira po rasni pripadnosti. Samo raziskovanje sem omejil na dve anglosaški državi in sicer na Združeno kraljestvo (ZK) in Združene države Amerike (ZDA). Glede na to, da se obe državi soočata s približno enakimi demografskimi trendi relativnega upadanja prej večinsko belskega prebivalstva, sem preučil tudi vpliv globalizacije (migracije) na t. i. etnični razcep. Projekcije kažejo, da bodo do konca 21. stoletja belci v Severni Ameriki, Zahodni Evropi in Avstraliji postali manjšine, večinoma kot posledica migracij (Kaufmann, 2019; Browne, 2000). Verjetno taki zgodovinsko pomembni trendi pri trenutno večinski etnični skupini sprožajo veliko strahov in eksistenčnih vprašanj (Kaufmann, 2019). To bi potencialno lahko zaznamovalo volilno obnašanje volivcev in vodilo v večjo pomembnost etničnega razcepa. Na koncu po vseh predstavljenih podatkih ugotovim, da se etnični razcep vsaj kvantitativno ne poglablja, vseeno pa etnična pripadnost zaznamuje volilno obnašanje volivcev in to celo bolj intenzivno, kot z njo primerjana razredna pripadnost.

Secondary title:	Social cleavage: ethnic groups and voting behaviour
Secondary abstract:	The following thesis discusses the importance of voters belonging to social groups and how these affiliations characterize their electoral behaviour. I focused mainly on the voters belonging to ethnic groups and compared the latter with the importance of voters belonging to social classes. This way, I tried to find out which voter affiliation (ethnic or class) has more power in explaining electoral behaviour. Ethnic groups in this work are conceptualized very broadly, sometimes along racial lines, as most data on electoral behaviour in selected survey countries are collected by racial affiliation. I limited the research to two Anglo-Saxon countries, namely the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (USA). Given that both countries face similar demographic trends of the relative decline of the previously predominantly white population, I also examined the impact of globalization (migration) on so-called ethnic cleavage. Projections suggest that by the end of the 21st century, whites in North America, Western Europe, and Australia will become minorities, largely as a result of migrations (Kaufmann, 2019; Browne, 2000). Such historically significant trends could raise many fears and anxieties among the majority white population (Kaufmann, 2019). This could potentially characterize the voting behaviour of voters and lead to the greater importance of ethnic cleavage. After all the presented data, I find that the ethnic cleavage does not intensify, at least not quantitatively. However, I also notice that ethnic affiliation certainly characterizes the electoral behaviour of voters, even more so than the class affiliation compared it.
