Voting in Old and New Democracies examines voting behavior and its
determinants based on 26 surveys from 18 countries on five
continents between 1992 and 2008. It systematically analyzes the
impact on voting choice of factors rooted in the currently dominant
approaches to the study of electoral behavior, but adds to this
analysis factors introduced or reintroduced into this field by the
Comparative National Elections Project (CNEP)-socio-political
values, and political communication through media, personal
discussion, and organizational intermediaries. It demonstrates
empirically that these long-neglected factors have significant
political impact in many countries that previous studies have
overlooked, while "economic voting" is insignificant in most
elections once long-term partisan attitudes are taken into
consideration. Its examination of electoral turnout finds that the
strongest predictor is participation by other family members,
demonstrating the importance of intermediation. Another chapter
surveys cross-national variations in patterns of intermediation,
and examines the impact of general social processes (such as
socioeconomic and technological modernization), country-specific
factors, and individual-level attitudinal factors as determinants
of those patterns. Complementing its cross-national comparative
analysis is a detailed longitudinal case study of one country over
25 years. Finally, it examines the extent of support for democracy
as well as significant cross-national differences in how democracy
is understood by citizens. Written in a clear and accessible style,
Voting in Old and New Democracies significantly advances our
understanding of citizen attitudes and behavior in election
settings.
