摘要
Recent political developments in established democracies have renewed attention to the politics of identity. Some commentators have expressed concern that polities are fracturing along increasingly narrow social identity lines, in the process, losing their ability to build solidarity around shared commitments such as redistribution. This article takes stock of the strength of Canadian social identities and their consequences for redistributive preferences. It asks: first, which group memberships form the basis of Canadians' perceptions of shared identity, and second, do these group memberships shape preferences for redistribution? This study answers these questions using two conjoint experiments that assess respondents' perceptions of commonality and support for redistributing to hypothetical Canadians who vary on multiple dimensions of identity and need. Findings support that Canadians perceive greater shared identity with some of their groups (their social class) over others (their region or ascriptive identity), but that they overwhelmingly prioritize redistributing toward those who need it over those with whom they share group memberships. Les r & eacute;cents d & eacute;veloppements politiques dans les d & eacute;mocraties & eacute;tablies ont renouvel & eacute; l'attention port & eacute;e & agrave; la politique de l'identit & eacute;. Certains commentateurs se sont inqui & eacute;t & eacute;s du fait que les politiques se fracturent sur des lignes d'identit & eacute; sociale de plus en plus & eacute;troites, perdant ainsi leur capacit & eacute; & agrave; construire une solidarit & eacute; autour d'engagements partag & eacute;s tels que la redistribution. Cet article fait le point sur la force des identit & eacute;s sociales canadiennes et leurs cons & eacute;quences sur les pr & eacute;f & eacute;rences en mati & egrave;re de redistribution. Il pose les questions suivantes : premi & egrave;rement, quelles sont les appartenances & agrave; des groupes qui forment la base des perceptions d'identit & eacute; partag & eacute;e des Canadiens et, deuxi & egrave;mement, ces appartenances & agrave; des groupes influencent-elles les pr & eacute;f & eacute;rences redistributives ? Cette & eacute;tude r & eacute;pond & agrave; ces questions & agrave; l'aide de deux exp & eacute;riences conjointes qui attribuent les perceptions des r & eacute;pondants en mati & egrave;re de communaut & eacute; et de soutien & agrave; la redistribution & agrave; des Canadiens hypoth & eacute;tiques qui varient en fonction de multiples dimensions d'identit & eacute; et besoins. Les r & eacute;sultats confirment que les Canadiens per & ccedil;oivent une identit & eacute; commune plus forte avec certains de leurs groupes (leur classe sociale) qu'avec d'autres (leur r & eacute;gion ou leur identit & eacute;), mais qu'ils accordent une priorit & eacute; & agrave; la redistribution aux personnes qui en ont besoin plut & ocirc;t qu'& agrave; ceux avec qui ils partagent l'appartenance & agrave; un groupe.
