This project aims to create a comprehensive, reliable and accessible database of formal policies that are designed to increase the political representation of ethnic groups in countries around the world. The creation of such a database addresses the present scarcity of systematic, cross-national data on the large number of policies that guarantee, advance or strictly regulate the political representation of ethnic groups. The project is directed by academic collaborators in Canada, Japan, Sweden and the US.
Impact
The database will fill a knowledge gap among academics and practitioners alike.
Student Experience
Informed internationalization of curriculum: students learned about how electoral rules and other policy mechanisms shape political inclusion of Indigenous, ethnic, and national minorities, in countries around the world.
