In a broadly comparative, historical and quantitative analysis,
this study reveals the unity of European electorates and party
systems. Investigating thirty countries in Western and
Central-Eastern Europe over 150 years of electoral history, the
author shows the existence of common alignments and parallel waves
of electoral change across the continent. Europeanization appears
through an array of indicators including cross-country deviation
measures, uniform swings of votes, the correspondence between
national arenas and European Parliament, as well as in the
ideological convergence among parties of the same families. Based
on a painstaking analysis of a large wealth of data, the study
identifies the supra-national, domestic and diffusion factors at
the origin of Europeanization. Building on previous work on the
nationalization of politics, this new study makes the case for
Europeanization in historical and electoral perspective, and points
to the role of left-right in structuring the European party system
along ideological rather than territorial lines. In the classical
tradition of electoral and party literature, this book sheds a new
light on Europe's democracy.
