Etnicitate şi politică electorală în România
Ethnicity and Electoral Politics in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The article represents an excerpt of a comparative study on ethnicity and electoral politics in new democracies from Eastern Europe and Latin America. The central proposition is that the ethnic identity serves as a stable but flexible information shortcut for political choices. Furthermore, the article suggests that if ethnic groups are allowed continued participation in electoral politics and are able to access all the levels of the government to represent their interests, the overall effect on democratic regime development in the long term is also expected to be stabilizing.
