Institutional Engineering and Political Change

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter examines the political innovations introduced by the British, especially electoral processes and representative institutions. Also discussed are the level of citizen engagement in the political process (i.e., participation in elections), and the nature of electoral politics/political representation in this period. The new political institutions, a nationalist ideology and the changing social landscape all provided the context for the development of electoral and party politics on the island.
