The Storting Election in Norway, September 2005
The conditional party mandate: A model for the study of mass and elite opinion patterns
This article explores the pattern of opinions within political parties. What is the level of issue congruence between voters and elected leaders? The article introduces two ideas for the analysis of mass and elite opinion patterns. First, the authors challenge the unidimensional conception of mass‐elite linkages, and argue that the opinion structure of political parties may best be understood in the context of a multidimensional policy space. Sec…

A more fragile chain of governance in Norway
Although in practice Norway has been a parliamentary democracy since 1884 its political institutions differ in a number of ways from the typical parliamentary model. Among its peculiar features is a lack of parliamentary dissolution powers and a set of informal and permissive cabinet formation rules which have contributed to Norway's high and increasing frequency of minority governments. This article explores the distinctive features of the democ…

Decline of electoral turnout: The case of Norway
Why do sudden changes occur in electoral turnout from one election to the next? This article proposes two general hypotheses as explanations for declining turnout. The first hypothesis draws on rational choice theory, and is based on the assumption that elections are devices for the selection of governments. It states that abstention is rational when government alternatives are unclear. The second hypothesis implies that non‐voting is a result of…

Scandinavian Exceptionalism Reconsidered
Examination of data on the four Nordic countries leads to a critique of two theories in the international literature about Scandinavian exceptionalism: (i) the Lipset and Rokkan stability hypothesis as reiterated by S. Bartolini and P. Mair and (ii) the idea of the Scandinavian model stability as stated by T. Tilton, H. Milner, M. Olson and G. Esping-Andersen. Increased volatility, the decline in partisan vote, mounting ungovernability at the nat…

left-right locations do not have much political meaning for British voters (Butler and Stokes, 1969), even though comparatively large numbers of them will assign themselves an abstract left-right location when asked to do so (Inglehart and Klingemann, 1976; Barnes and Kaase, 1979). Norwegians have never been asked to locate themselves on a purely left-right scale, although at Norwegian electoral study of 1977 they were asked to rate themselves on…

Political Cleavages in Sweden and Norway
The topic of the article is a comparison of voter reactions in Sweden and Norway towards some current political issues. The analysis is based upon nationwide election surveys in 1976 (Sweden) and in 1977 (Norway). Despite the fact that the party systems are different in several ways, the patterns of political attitudes in the two electorates are surprisingly similar. The analysis suggests that political cleavages are basically the same in these t…
The Storting Election of 1977: Realignment or Return to Normalcy
The Storting election of 1977 produced great changes in the partisan distribution of the vote compared with the preceding election of 1973. The latter, the most deviating election in Norway after World War 11, took place one year after the referendum concerning Norway's entry into the European Communities, and the EC issue still dominated the political scene. While on the surface the election of 1977 restored the situation that existed before the…
National Conflict Structure and Foreign Politics: The Impact of the Eec Issue on Perceived Cleavages in Norwegian Politics
The main concern of this article is the problem of how an important foreign policy issue may affect the national conflict structure of a given society. The EEC issue in Norwegian politics has been studied as such a case. This issue which became salient in the summer of 1970 and culminated at the referendum of September 1972, triggered off a very intensive political debate, in which alliances for and against the EEC membership cut across the “norm…

Party Identification in Norway and the United States
A voter's identification with a political party is intimately related to the alignment of his opinions and his voting behavior. Since the character of party systems differs greatly between two countries such as the United States and Norway, a comparison of the party identification of citizens of the two countries is especially significant

The Mobilization of the Periphery: Data on Turnout, Party Membership and Candidate Recruitment in Norway
We shall present and discuss in this paper a set of data on turnout, party membership and candidate recruitment in Norwey. Our approach is essentially ecological: we shall present our statistics by local administrative units and will be particularly concerned to highlight differences between the central, urbanized districts and the peripheral, sparsely populated districts. Our data were assembled within a programme of research on elections after …
