Mobilizing Inclusion
Transforming the Electorate through Get-Out-the-Vote Campaigns

Ă propos de ce livre
Which get-out-the-vote efforts actually succeed in ethnoracial communitiesâand why? Analyzing the results from hundreds of original experiments, the authors of this book offer a persuasive new theory to explain why some methods work while others donât.
Exploring and comparing a wide variety of efforts targeting ethnoracial voters, Lisa GarcĂa Bedolla and Melissa R. Michelson present a new theoretical frameâthe Social Cognition Model of voting, based on an individualâs sense of civic identityâfor understanding get-out-the-vote effectiveness. Their book will serve as a useful guide for political practitioners, for it offers concrete strategies to employ in developing future mobilization efforts.
