Suffrage labour markets and coalitions in colonial virginia
European Journal of Political Economy, 2017Co-Authors: Elena Nikolova, Milena NikolovaAbstract:We study Virginia's Suffrage from the early-17th century until the American Revolution using an analytical narrative and econometric analysis of unique data on franchise restrictions. First, we hold that Suffrage changes reflected labour market dynamics. Indeed, Virginia's liberal institutions initially served to attract indentured servants from England who were needed in the labour-intensive tobacco farming but deteriorated once worker demand subsided and planters replaced white workers with slaves. Second, we argue that Virginia's Suffrage was also the result of political bargaining influenced by shifting societal coalitions. We show that new politically influential coalitions of freemen and then of small and large slave-holding farmers emerged in the second half of the 17th and early-18th centuries, respectively. These coalitions were instrumental in reversing the earlier democratic institution\s. Our main contribution stems from integrating the labour markets and bargaining/coalitions arguments, thus proving a novel theoretical and empirical explanation for institutional change.

the achievement of female Suffrage in europe on women s citizenship
Social Science Research Network, 2014Co-Authors: Ruth RubiomarinAbstract:This article lays out the theoretical framing underlying the gendered construction of citizenship in Western political thought during the transition to modernity; describes the relevant actors in the fight for female Suffrage and the impact that the separate spheres of ideology had on both the narratives supporting and resisting female Suffrage, and on the selective and piecemeal way in which Suffrage was eventually won by women in European countries. Furthermore, it identifies the main factors accounting for women’s earlier or later achievement of Suffrage in different European nations and, exploring the connection between women’s access to voting rights and to civil and social rights, it retells a story of women’s citizenship which is an inverted image of that developed by T.H. Marshall on the basis of the male paradigm. It finally brings us to the present to discuss the persistent political under-representation of women in Europe, as well as a growing awareness about the need to ensure women’s full citizenship through measures that seek the incorporation of women in male spheres of power and the disestablishment of the sexual contract, something which the historical conquest of Suffrage could not achieve by itself.

out of the parlors and into the streets the changing tactical repertoire of the u s women s Suffrage movements
Social Forces, 2003Co-Authors: Holly J MccammonAbstract:Little empirical research exists on major changes in the strategies and tactics of social movements, but some researchers argue that organizational readiness and political opportunities produce such changes. This article examines the circumstances that led some state woman Suffrage movements to use a bold new tactic, the Suffrage parade, beginning in the early twentieth century. An event-history analysis reveals that organizational readiness and political opportunities had little to do with change in the suffragists' strategic approach. Rather, the change occurred when movements consisted of a diverse assortment of organizations, when movement organizations were less centrally structured, when conflict existed among movement members, when movements engaged in fundraising, and when the suffragists had recently experienced significantpolitical defeat. The model of tactical change presented here better explains the impetuses for such a shift than do earlier explanations.

stirring up Suffrage sentiment the formation of the state woman Suffrage organizations 1866 1914
Social Forces, 2001Co-Authors: Holly J MccammonAbstract:In nearly every state around the turn of the twentieth century, suffragists mobilized in grassroots Suffrage organizations to secure the vote for women. While movement researchers have theorized that political opportunities are important in explaining why movements emerge, the results from an examination of the emergence of the state Suffrage movements show that the mobilization of various resources along with the way in which pro-Suffrage arguments were framed were instrumental in stirring up Suffrage sentiment. Political opportunities did little to explain the emergence of the Suffrage movements. The article concludes that movement researchers need to consider that historically contingent circumstances may determine which factors bring about movement mobilization.

universal Suffrage the century of corrupting incentives
Social Science Research Network, 2018Co-Authors: Konstantin Moshe Yanovskiy, Sergei ZhavoronkovAbstract:Conflict of interest of welfare dependent voter creates wrong incentives. These incentives inherent to universal Suffrage, yield consequences, as predicted by John Adams back in the 18-th century. Historically the rise of the modern welfare state might be traced to the emergence of mainstream left parties, which promoted government care “from the cradle to the grave”. This paper will address the damages to Democracy caused by conflict of interest, which led to irresponsible leadership and permanent peacetime budget deficit. Historical examples from the 1990s show possible escapes from the trap of universal Suffrage.
