position taking
Définition
- Position taking refers to a type of electorally motivated behavior in which legislators publically express a stance on an issue of concern to constituents to increase their chances of reelection. This behavior is often regarded as an inexpensive—in terms of time and effort—means of policy intervention in favor of constituent interests, in that it may simply involve issuing a public statement or participating in a roll call vote rather than producing a solution.
