Book Discussion: Political Cleavages and Social Inequalities
Friday, October 29, 2021
9:30 am – 11:00 am
EDT/GMT-4
Online Event
9:30 AM New York l 2:30 PM Vienna
CEU Democracy Institute invites OSUN members to attend an in-person and online discussion with a co-editor and authors of "Political Cleavages and Social Inequalities," edited by
Thomas Piketty
.
Building on Thomas Piketty's seminal work on the structures and dynamics of inequalities, Professor Piketty gathered a team of more than 20 researchers to analyze the effects of inequality on political polarization across 50 democracies from 1948 to the present. The result of their collective work is "Political Cleavages and Social Inequalities" published recently with Harvard University Press.
The edited volume builds on a unique set of surveys conducted between 1948 and 2020 in fifty countries on five continents, analyzing the links between voters’ political preferences and socioeconomic characteristics, such as income, education, wealth, occupation, religion, ethnicity, age, and gender. This analysis sheds new light on why growing inequality in many parts of the world has not led to renewed class-based conflicts and how political movements succeed in coalescing multiple interests and identities in contemporary democracies. It also helps us understand the conditions under which conflicts over inequality become politically salient, as well as the similarities and constraints of voters supporting ethno-nationalist politicians like Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Marine Le Pen, and Donald Trump.
CEU Democracy Institute is thrilled to receive
Clara Martinez-Toledano
, a co-editor of the book, who will introduce the methodology of this path-breaking volume, and its most important findings; as well as
Tom Zawisza
and
Filip Novokmet
, the co-authors of the chapter on Central and Eastern Europe who will present their chapter, followed by comments by
István György Tóth
and
Gábor Tóka
.
