Persistent Political Divides, Electoral Volatility and Citizen Involvement: The Freezing Hypothesis in the 2004 European Election
This paper identifies possible micro-mechanisms for the operation of Lipset and Rokkan's freezing hypothesis and suggests that their effects do not disappear altogether with the decline of cleavage politics but are sustained by any persistent social or attitudinal divide between the electorates of different parties. A multi-level analysis of survey data from the 2004 European Election Study supports the expectation that political involvement shou…
One electorate or many? Differences in party preference formation between new and established European democracies
Citizen information, election outcomes and good governance
Inequalities of Political Influence in New Democracies
We examine two sources of political inequalities that seem inevitable in elections, supposedly the most egalitarian and most fundamental of modern democratic processes. The first stems from the fact that not everyone is equally likely to vote, and the second from unequal political information levels, which may make some groups of citizens better able than others to express their political preferences in the vote. We use survey data from two econo…
Postcommunist Democracy: Legacies and Outcomes
Post-Communist Party Systems: Competition, Representation, and Inter-Party Cooperation
Post-Communist Party Systems examines democratic party competition in four post-communist polities in the mid-1990s: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. Legacies of pre-communist rule turn out to play as much a role in accounting for differences as the institutional differences incorporated in the new democratic rules of the game. The book demonstrates various developments within the four countries with regard to different voter ap…
Party Appeals and Voter Loyalty in New Democracies
Parties and Electoral Choices in East-Central Europe
In this chapter the performance of four East Central European party systems are compared with regard to the "meaningfulness of electoral choice" that they offer to voters. This is attempted by analysing several survey-based indicators of patterns in East Central European electoral behaviour. The aim is not so much the testing of well-established hypotheses on the circumstances facilitating the fast structuration and consolidation of the party spa…
Sibling Resemblance in Educational Attainment, Occupational Prestige, and Wealth in Hungary during the Communist Regime
In order to test the suggested decline of the family we compare sibling resemblance in the life-chances of five Hungarian cohorts born during the twentieth century. Similar studies in Germany and the Netherlands show less sibling resemblance in younger cohorts. However, one might argue that this trend towards the decline of sibling resemblance cannot be found in societies with a communist regime. A consequence of the communist regime is an increa…
