Regional Political Cultures
Political culture research originally assumed that political cultures existed at the level of the nation-state, and that any variations occurring below the level of the state served as a source of risk to the state. That state-centric assumption absolved researchers of identifying how one might identify political cultures. At the same time, a vibrant body of research on regionalism and regional political cultures offers different methods of expla…
Subjective Perceptions of Difference in Multi-level States
Subnational variations in political culture and policy attitudes are a hallmark feature of multilevel systems of government, yet we know comparatively little about how and why citizens of these systems subjectively perceive regional differences in political values. Using data from a specially commissioned survey under the auspices of the Provincial Diversity Project, this article analyses subjective perceptions of difference across provinces in C…
Shifting sands
In one sense, the 2024 UK General Election in Scotland provided a significant departure from what we have come to expect from elections in the aftermath of the 2014 independence referendum, returning thirty-seven Labour MPs on just over a third of the vote. The declining support for the SNP, down fifteen percentage points but losing thirty-nine seats while support for independence remained at 45%, suggested that the Scottish electorate had decoup…
Political Scandals and Vertical Contagion in Multilevel Systems
Can a scandal in one political sphere tarnish – or unexpectedly polish – the reputation of leaders in another? This study investigates the impact of political scandals in multilevel political systems and explores three possibilities: contagion , where trust erodes across all political levels; containment , where evaluations are limited to the specific institutions involved; and contrast , where actors at other levels appear more trustworthy in co…
Diverging electoral fortunes in Scotland and Wales
Despite an extraordinary degree of political turbulence in the UK, the 2021 Scottish and Welsh election results were remarkably similar to those recorded at the previous elections in 2016. While this period spanned the 2016 EU referendum, Britain’s exit from the EU, and the coronavirus pandemic, these upheavals appear to have had little impact on devolved election results. From a comparative perspective, however, such continuity only underlines t…

Marginalized, but not demobilized
In a context of backlash against diversity in many countries, we know little about how ethnic minorities respond politically when they personally experience discrimination. Moving beyond the study of electoral participation, this research investigates whether experiences of discrimination push ethnic minorities toward an alternate political pathway for those who feel sidelined by the political community: protest activity. The study also examines …

Ethnic minority belonging in a multilevel political community
Numerous studies demonstrate that immigrant and ethnic minority populations’ sense of belonging to the political communities in which they reside depends in part on the welcoming context: the constellation of policies, discourses, identities and prevailing attitudes relating to ethnocultural diversity in those political communities. However, while these studies typically focus on national belonging, in multilevel political communities belonging m…

Multinationalism, Constitutional Asymmetry and Covid
This article explores how the asymmetric institutionalization of the United Kingdom's multinationality interacted with the COVID-19 pandemic. The UK's political elite has traditionally accepted the country's multinational character, but democratic institutionalization of it occurred relatively recently and in a remarkably asymmetric manner. Only the UK's minority nations possess devolved governments, while the largest nation, England, is governed…
Attitudes toward Ethnocultural Diversity in Multilevel Political Communities
It is well documented that the strength of national attachment relates to attitudes toward ethnocultural diversity, and that the direction of the relationship varies across national contexts. Yet, little attention has been given to the fact that attachments may not be expressed solely at the national level. In federal and multinational states, individuals can express attachment to the country and to its territorial units. This study investigates …

Could Johnny Tremain Be Gay? Reinterpretation as a Subversive Act
Members of sexual minority groups confront a dearth of fictional characters in k-12 curricula with whom they can feel any affinity, particularly in regard to sexual orientation. This is especially problematic for readers who are at odds with themselves and/or society over cultural constructions of normalcy. Queer theory can address this issue by encouraging readers to contest the putative heteronormativity in works of literature. The perennially …
Scottish Labour as a case study in party failure
For Scottish Labour to be reduced to a single MP in Scotland once might seem like misfortune: that in 2019 they suffered the same fate looks like carelessness. While much focus of the 2019 UK General Election in Scotland will be on the SNP, an equally interesting puzzle is the electoral performance of the once dominant party in Scotland. In this article we explore what helps to explain why formerly successful parties fail, identifying explanation…
Analysing vote-choice in a multinational state
Striking territorial variations in the 2016 Brexit referendum are neglected in the explanatory literature, a gap our analysis of the British Election Study (BES) helps to fill. Rather than modelling Britain as one political system, we present parallel models for England, Scotland and Wales. Typical in other multinational states, this approach is innovative for ‘British politics’. The analysis shows different variables help to explain Leave suppor…

Symbolic predispositions, interests and official languages legislation
Debates over official languages are often intrinsically linked to questions of national identity, prejudice, and intergroup relations. However, official language legislation also has consequences for the day-to-day affairs of many citizens. As such, it also brings to the forefront considerations of costs and benefits, or the ways in which the material interests of individual citizens and their linguistic groups might be affected by these laws. In…
The Impact of Treasury Yields on US Presidential Approval, 1960–2010
The ‘power of bond markets’ is a widely assumed and poorly understood feature of the global economy. We demonstrate that even in a bond market as stable as the United States this influence is considerable. In this article, we scrutinise a particularly direct influence, the impact of US Treasury yields on presidential approval rates. Our empirical analysis from 1961 to 2010 demonstrates that rising/falling bond yields lead to a decline/increase in…
Feeling Attached and Feeling Accepted
Immigrants’ sense of belonging to their host communities is viewed as a core condition for their successful inclusion, but there is no consensus on which attributes of belonging are most relevant to understanding inclusion, nor is there agreement on how the sense of belonging ought to be measured empirically. This study examines how two related but independent dimensions of belonging help to better understand the political inclusion of visible mi…
A Tale of Two Liberalisms? Attitudes toward Minority Religious Symbols in Quebec and Canada
Proponents of restrictions on the wearing of religious symbols in public institutions in Quebec have often framed their support in the language of liberalism, with references to “gender equality”, “state neutrality” and “freedom of conscience”. However, efforts to account for support for restrictions on minority religious symbols rarely mention liberalism. In this article, we test the hypothesis that holding liberal values might have different at…
Curriculum requirements and subsequent civic engagement
Despite figures showing the growth of mandatory community service programmes, there is mixed empirical evidence of their effectiveness. This paper addresses the relationship of mandated community service to one of its purported aims: subsequent volunteerism. It compares current volunteerism among four university student cohorts: those doing no service in secondary school, those volunteering with no requirement, those volunteering both before and …

How Brexit was made in England
The Leave majority recorded in England was decisive in determining the UK-wide referendum result. Brexit was made in England. We take this as a prompt to challenge the conventional Anglo-British mindset that animates most studies of ‘British politics’ and has shaped public attitudes research on the United Kingdom. We explore the persistence of distinctive Eurosceptic views in England and their relationship to English national identity prior to th…
England, Englishness and Brexit
In the 1975 referendum England provided the strongest support for European integration, with a much smaller margin for membership in Scotland and Northern Ireland. By 2015 the rank order of ‘national’ attitudes to European integration had reversed. Now, England is the UK 's most eurosceptic nation and may vote ‘Leave’, while Scotland seems set to generate a clear margin for ‘Remain’. The UK as a whole is a Brexit marginal. To understand the campa…

A comparative analysis of voter turnout in regional elections
Regional Political Cultures in Canada
This paper examines the existence of sub-State political cultures in Canada. In so doing it revisits research conducted by Richard Simeon and David Elkins into the existence of provincial political cultures in Canada. It reviews the evidence for provincial political cultures and examines recent data from the Canadian Election Study in an effort to determine whether attitudes towards government have changed. Second, it revisits the process by whic…
Reflections on the ‘Devolution Paradox’
Henderson A., Jeffery C., Wincott D. and Wyn Jones R. Reflections on the ‘devolution paradox’: a comparative examination of multilevel citizenship, Regional Studies. This paper addresses a paradox in the literature on federal and decentralized states: citizens want their regional governments to do more and yet seem reluctant to embrace the logical consequences of regional control, namely inter-regional policy variation and limited state-wide inte…
Strange Bedfellows? Attitudes toward Minority and Majority Religious Symbols in the Public Sphere
In this study, we contend that distinguishing individuals who support bans onminorityreligious symbols from those who want to banallreligious symbols improves our understanding of the roots of opposition to minority religious symbols in the public sphere. We hypothesize that both groups are likely driven by markedly different motivations and that opposition to the presence of minority religious symbols in the public sphere may be the result of an…
Regions as Primary Political Communities
Despite the importance of regional democracy, comparative analyses of voter participation in regional elections are rare. We examine individual participation in regional elections in Canada, Spain, and the United Kingdom and make three arguments: (i) standard models of turnout devised for national contests only partly explain regional turnout, with the personal characteristics of voters more important than contextual variables; (ii) territorial i…
Do Shared Values Underpin National Identity? Examining the Role of Values in National Identity in Canada and the United Kingdom
This article examines whether shared national values form a vital component in the construction and development of national identity. In so doing, it challenges Kymlicka and Norman in their assumption that shared values have little relevance for national identity. Drawing upon competing nationalist discourses in Canada, Quebec, Scotland and the United Kingdom, we argue that the idea of shared values serves as a useful tool in shaping and reinforc…

Small Worlds’ as Predictors of General Political Attitudes
In a federal system, do citizens have varying amounts of trust and efficacy for different levels of government? Individuals might, for example, feel a greater sense of efficacy for the more proximate level. This contribution examines 40 years of Canadian Election Study (CES) data to determine whether and how citizens distinguish between levels of government to determine which level of government is deemed more important and whether one is more li…
National Identity or National Interest? Scottish, English and Welsh Attitudes to the Constitutional Debate
This article analyses political attitudes to the union in England, Scotland and Wales after the Scottish independence referendum. Using public opinion data, we explore constitutional preferences and perceptions of national grievance, before examining the role that national identity plays in structuring preferences. Our evidence shows that considerable demand exists for nationally demarcated forms of government within the UK , although these const…
Shrinking welfare states? Comparing maternity leave benefits and child care programs in European Union and North American welfare states, 1985–2000
This paper tests whether changes in program design, coverage, and government funding of maternity and parental leave and child care and early childhood education (ECE) programs can be observed over the past fifteen years in European and North American countries. Analysis of cross-national and cross- time data reveals, first, that reports of the welfare state's demise do not hold true in these areas. In most of the countries surveyed, the number o…
Creating Effective Civic Engagement Policy for Adolescents
For high school community service programs to have a positive impact on subsequent civic engagement, students must volunteer in a sustained manner and must evaluate their volunteering experiences positively. Using a survey with 1,293 respondents and 100 semistructured interviews with past participants of the mandatory community service program implemented by the Ontario provincial government in 1999, the authors identify how and why students gene…

Political Constructions of National Identity in Scotland and Quebec
The opening of the Scottish Parliament provides a useful opportunity to reflect on the success and struggles of other regional or sub-national Parliaments, particularly those where nationalist parties seek to form a government. Comparisons between Scotland and Quebec have been plentiful since the May 1997 UK General Election, when it appeared that for the first time in 300 years Scotland would acquire its own Parliament. Given the frequency with …

England’s Dissatisfactions and the Conservative Dilemma
In the immediate aftermath of the Scottish independence referendum, Prime Minister David Cameron raised the ‘English Question’ by advocating English Votes for English Laws in the House of Commons. This article explains why. It uses findings from the 2014 Future of England Survey of attitudes to constitutional issues in England. It reveals a group of interlinked concerns in England: about the advantages Scotland is perceived to have in the UK Unio…
Exit Polling in Canada
Although exit polling has not been used to study Canadian elections before, such polls have methodological features that make them a potentially useful complement to data collected through more conventional designs. This paper reports on an experiment with exit polling in one constituency in the 2003 Ontario provincial election. Using student volunteers, a research team at Wilfrid Laurier University conducted an exit poll in the bellwether consti…
Forging a new political culture
Part of the appeal of creating a new Scottish Parliament lay in the ability of legislators to re-define the institutional culture of politics. For advocates of change, the Westminster system, with its emphasis on adversarial and male-dominated politics, turned citizens off politics. Devolution advocates argued that a Scottish Parliament, composed of a new type of politician and operating according to modernised rules, would better serve the publi…

Referendums as Critical Junctures? Scottish Voting in British Elections
It has been a turbulent time in Scottish politics. Voters have been to the polls seven times since May 2014, twice in constitutional referendums that offered seismic change. While Scots voted to Remain in the UK in 2014 and voted to stay in Europe in 2016, the prospect of a second independence referendum remains and it appears that Scotland will leave the EU with the rest of the UK. The change a majority rejected in 2014 might yet occur, and the …

The First Council of the American City of Baton Rouge
The site of Baton Rouge was visited and named by Iberville, St. Patrick's day, 1699.1 A little later, the tract on which the city now stands was granted to Diron d'Artaguette, but when the first settlement was made, is not known. The earliest references, about 1719-1723, speak of it as already a.n established post. The tradition is. that it is older than New Orleans (settled in 1718), but this cannot be established as a fact. Certainly, until 176…

Charles Abrams and the Problem of a “Business Welfare State”
During the past two decades, sociologists, political scientists, and historians have been increasingly interested in the development of modern states and their administrative structures. By focusing on specific policies and government agencies, these scholars have provided various frameworks for understanding the growth of the American state in the twentieth century, especially during the New Deal and the 1940s. One issue that has received scant …

Housing and the Democratic Ideal
Charles Abrams (1902-1970) stood at the center of the policies, problems, and politics surrounding urban planning, housing reform, and the public and private interests involved in the expansion of the American state. He uniquely combined in one person the often divergent roles of "public" and "policy" intellectual. As a "public intellectual," Abrams's voice reached the American public through the pages of The Nation, The New Leader, and The New Y…

From the Puritans to the Projects
With the recent destruction of some infamous post–World War II public housing highrises and continuing interest in how best to meet the housing needs of lowincome city dwellers, a number of very recent publications on the topic have appeared. Of the two books considered here, Lawrence J.

Identity measurement in Scotland and Québec
How can we measure an individual's identity? We can ask someone to talk about their vision of their own identity and who they feel they are. Or we can ask them to fill out surveys and track over time how the different ways that people describe themselves change. The former approach lends itself more to qualitative analysis while the latter often relies on quantitative measurement. These measurements are gathered for a sample of the population tha…
Introduction
Scotland and Quebec share many features. Both are nations within larger states, strongly identified by their distinctive institutions and traditions. Both have experienced some three decades of constitutional debate, animated most recently by social democratic nationalist parties. Moreover, their shared historical connection to the British Empire has created many demographic links and institutional similarities. The rise of nationalism at the bal…

Voter Dealignment or Campaign Effects? Accounting for Political Preferences in Ontario
Elections in Canada are rarely subject to the delays in voting counts present in the United States. For Americans, the time required to count hundreds of millions of ballots has made exit polls an attractive option to political commentators hoping to fill the void between the close of polls and the confirmation of results. Often face-to-face surveys with individuals leaving the ballot box, exit polls not only allow for a quick prediction of elect…
