The Changing Determinants of the Vote
This chapter presents a unique opportunity to evaluate the importance of leaders across a wider range of social and political contexts.

Species of Political Parties: A New Typology
While the literature already includes a large number of party typologies, they are increasingly incapable of capturing the great diversity of party types that have emerged worldwide in recent decades, largely because most typologies were based upon West European parties as they existed in the late nineteenth through mid-twentieth centuries. Some new party types have been advanced, but in an ad hoc manner and on the basis of widely varying and oft…
Legitimidade política em novas democracias
Não há um consenso claro sobre se as atitudes de apoio à democracia, de um lado, e a cidadania democrática, de outro, constituem um único domínio atitudinal, ou se são empiricamente distintas uma da outra. Em estudos empíricos de atitudes e comportamentos na Bulgária, Chile, Grécia, Hong Kong, Hungria, Itália, Espanha e Uruguai, encontramos provas claras de que essas atitudes são conceitual e empiricamente distintas, formando três dimensões atitu…

The Impact of Regime Change on Public Policy: The Case of Spain
Does political regime matter? Parallel analyses of Spanish public expenditure and taxation policies under the authoritarian Franco regime and in the current democracy, as well as of decision-making processes under both regimes, based upon extensive in-depth interviews with relevant government officials from 1974 to 1996, indicate that political regime characteristics can have a profound impact on both policy processes and outputs. Ruling out a ‘s…

Electoral Laws, Party Systems, and Elites: The Case of Spain
Using aggregate, survey, and in-depth elite interview data from Spain in the 1970s and 1980s, I demonstrate that the "mechanical" effect of the Spanish electoral law is as strong as that of many single-member constituency systems. But the "distal" effect of the electoral law on the party system is shown to be complex and multifaceted, not direct and deterministic. The perceptions, calculations, strategies, and behavior of party elites play a cruc…

Parties and Electoral Behavior in Southern Europe
A mediterranean model of democracy? The Southern European democracies in comparative perspective
The four Southern European democracies ‐ Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece ‐ have a number of important cultural, social, economic, and historical characteristics in common, and their political systems are also often seen as similar, representing a ‘Mediterranean model of democracy’. However, when these four democratic regimes are compared with the world's other democracies in terms of the contrasting majoritarian and consensus models, they turn …
