Local Political Participation
This article explores local political participation, what it is, and how it differs from other forms of political engagement. The author covers theoretical explanations of local political participation and discusses gaps in the existing literature
A Strategic Theory of Policy Diffusion via Intergovernmental Competition
Scholars have hypothesized that policy choices by national, state, and local governments often have implications for "location choices" made by residents (e.g., tax policies affect where firms set up business, welfare benefits influence where the poor live, government restaurant smoking restrictions influence where people eat). We develop a spatially explicit strategic theory of policy diffusion driven by intergovernmental competition over reside…
Location of Public Goods and the Calculus of Voting
Objectives. In this article we explore how the geographic location of a proposed public good on the ballot in a local referendum influences voting turnout. We argue that voters who live farther away from the good, and are thus likely to bear the cost of the good but have no access to it, would be more motivated to turn out in the election. Drawing on the cost-orientation hypothesis, or negativity effect, “that people are more strongly motivated t…
Bringing the Spatial In
Contests over public goods remain at the forefront of urban political battles in nearly every major city in the United States. The spatial location of the good can play an instrumental role in understanding the contours and outcomes of such conflicts. The authors explore a particular case—voting for a growth-related development project, the monorail, by referendum in the city of Seattle—and examine how a grassroots campaign successfully mobilized…
Sorting Out the Competing Effects of Racial Context
Context matters, but which context? We live in more than one context; for example, the cities in which we reside may differ dramatically from the neighborhoods we call home. When testing the racial-threat hypothesis, previous research has focused upon a single context, usually in isolation from other, potentially competing contexts. This paper argues that racial context is complicated for whites, and that multiple contexts need to be considered t…
What Do They Know and How Do They Know It
The connection between the individual and his or her aggregate geographic environment, usually defined as the neighborhood, is a key component of the contextual model of social influence. However, there is substantial anecdotal evidence that people have very little knowledge or connection to their neighborhood. In this article, the authors explore the connection by using data from the South Bend Study to answer two questions: What do people know …
Using Geographic Information Systems to Study Interstate Competition
Scholars have proposed two distinct explanations for why policies diffuse across American states: (1) policymakers learn by observing the experiences of nearby states, and (2) states seek a competitive economic advantage over other states. The most common empirical approach for studying interstate influence is modeling an indicator of a state's policy choice as a function of its neighbors' policies, with each neighbor weighted equally. This can a…
Spatially Dispersed Ties Among Interdependent Citizens
A continuing tradition in contextual analysis locates individual citizens within spatially defined, aggregate settings in an effort to provide a more complete account of individual behavior. Given the increasing individual mobility within society, it is less than clear that geography continues to define the boundaries on meaningful aggregate contexts—people have become less tied to their geographic contexts, and technology makes it possible for c…

Federalism Outcomes and Ideological Preferences
The record of the U.S. Supreme Court in decisions affecting federal-state relations has been one of inconsistency between states' rights and national supremacy. This inconsistency has perplexed both legal and political science scholars who have had great difficulty placing decision-making regarding federalism outcomes by the Court in any sort of theoretical context. Contrary to much conventional wisdom, ideological preferences do not automaticall…
