Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Despite decades of research, our understanding of how institutional contexts influence urban political participation remains muddled. We argue that this confusion of empirical findings arises from the sheer diversity of competing hypotheses, a failure to thoroughly conceptualize the causal processes underlying these hypotheses, and the use of inadequate specifications to control for rival hypotheses. We provide a more comprehensive specification of the relationship between metropolitan jurisdictional contexts and two modes of participation: registering to vote and joining local civic organizations. After presenting a theoretical framework organizing the many extant hypotheses on the contexts of political participation, we test these hypotheses using survey data collected by the Knight Foundation from 2002 on 25 urban counties. Contrary to prior work, we find that the size of local governments is positively associated with participation, while governmental fragmentation diminishes the propensity for political action.
