Elite-Citizen Relations

Thu, August 31, 10:00 to 11:30am PDT (10:00 to 11:30am PDT), LACC, 306B

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

This panel discusses how elites, depending on whether they are insiders or outsiders with an autocratic regime, sanction violent reprisals of popular mass protests depending on the nature of the grievance; how reformers and advocates of some position that is contrary to strong social norms like anti-LGBTQI+ norms in Ghana who are trusted authorities may influence social norms toward being more tolerant; how leaders trade off competence over patronage in their cabinet appointments; how Ghanaian citizens prioritize public goods and services and reward candidates with votes who are receptive to constituents’ inputs; and finally how information and its source matter for political support for a separatist group in Nigeria.
