Superdiversity and the Browning of Labour

Superdiversity across Europe has focused attention on the increasing significance of ethnic minorities to electoral outcomes. We use unique Origins software to analyse a sample of minority voters in the May 2014 European elections; drawing on the work of the Ethnic Minority British Election Study (EMBES), we show that the growth of non‐White minorities will combine with a persistent preference for Labour to produce some unexpected consequences. We also compute the different ethnic penalties suffered by minority Labour and Conservative supporters, and demonstrate their likely trend between now and mid‐century. The analysis shows the increased importance of social and cultural factors in determining political preferences, and illustrates the way in which Big Data‐derived tools such as Origins can be used to produce fresh insights.     

序言：中国大陆和香港的合作治理

摘要: 本专刊就中国大陆和香港在各自公共领域内的合作治理实践进行了探讨,该研究涉及一系列不同的服务领域,包括地方社区服务、灾害保险、社会服务和可持续发展。已有的研究显示合作治理可以是施加的、诱致的或者有机创造的。本专刊收录的四篇文章表明,所有三种动态都存在于中国提供以上服务的合作实践中。在本序言中,我们首先总结入选的四篇文章在理解中国大陆和香港的合作治理在实践上的贡献。在此基础上,我们提出在中国进行合作治理研究的重要取向和领域。序言最后探讨了研究中国的合作治理所面临的挑战和解决之道。
