Preferred term

social and political cleavages  

Definition

  • The term cleavage identifies social and political divisions characterized by a close connection between individuals' positioning in the social stratification system, their beliefs and normative orientations, and their behavioral patterns. This close connection contributes to the resilience and stability of cleavages over time. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Cleavages, Social and Political]
