Voters and Voting in Context investigates the role of context in
affecting political opinion formation and voting behaviour.
Building on a model of contextual effects on individual-level voter
behaviour, the chapters of this volume explore contextual effects
in Germany in the early twenty-first century. The volume draws upon
manifold combinations of individual and contextual information
gathered in the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) framework
and employ advanced methods. In substantive terms, it investigates
the impact of campaign communication on political learning, effects
of media coverage on the perceived importance of political
problems, and the role of electoral competition on candidate
strategies and perceptions. It also examines the role of social and
economic contexts as well as parties' policy stances in affecting
electoral turnout. The volume explores the impact of social cues on
candidate voting, effects of electoral arenas on vote functions,
the role of media coverage on ideological voting, and effects of
campaign communication on the timing of electoral decision-making.
Voters and Voting in Context demonstrates the key role of the
processes of communication and politicization in bringing about
contextual effects. Context thus plays a nuanced role in voting
behaviour. The contingency of contextual effects suggests that they
will become an important topic in research on political behaviour
and democratic politics.
