Politics plays a key role in the relationship between inequality and development, and the articles in the symposium New Approaches to the Politics of Inequality in Developing Countries argue that “the manner in which inequality becomes translated into the political process is complex and contingent.” In guest editor’s John Echeverri-Gent’s introduction, he elaborates: “Whether under democratic or authoritarian regimes, the impact of inequality on development is fundamentally shaped by the complex and contingent construction of popular preferences, the opportunity structure for collective action, and the manner that state authorities interpret and respond to popular preferences through policy formulation and implementation.”
Also in this issue, James Garand, Micheal Giles, André Blais, and Iain McLean present their findings from a survey of political scientists regarding their evaluations of journals, including familiarity and impact, in the article “Political Science Journals in Comparative Perspective: Evaluating Scholarly Journals in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.” Log into your MyAPSA account and follow the PS link to view or download this article and the rest of the October issue.
