National-level elections receive more attention from scholars and
the media than elections at other levels, even though in many
European countries the importance of both regional and European
levels of government has grown in recent years. The growing
importance of multiple electoral arenas suggests that scholars
should be cautious about examining single levels in isolation.
Taking the multilevel structure of electoral politics seriously
requires a re-examination of how the incentives created by
electoral institutions affect the behaviour of voters and party
elites. The standard approach to analysing multilevel elections is
the second-order election (SOE) model, in which national elections
are considered to be first-order elections while other elections
are second order. However, this model does not provide micro
mechanisms that determine how elections in one arena affect those
in another, or explain variations in individual voting behaviour.
The objective of this book is to explain how party and voter
behaviour in a given election is affected by the existence of
multiple electoral arenas. It provides original qualitative and
quantitative data to examine European, national, and subnational
elections in France, Germany, and Spain from 2011-2015. The volume
examines party mobilization efforts across multiple electoral
arenas, as well as decisions by individual voters with respect to
turnout, strategic voting, and accountability. This book provides
the first systematic analysis of multilevel electoral politics at
three different levels across multiple countries. Comparative
Politics is a series for researchers, teachers, and students of
political science that deals with contemporary government and
politics. Global in scope, books in the series are characterised by
a stress on comparative analysis and strong methodological rigour.
The series is published in association with the European Consortium
for Political Research. For more information visit: www.ecprnet.eu.
The series is edited by Emilie van Haute, Professor of Political
Science, Universite libre de Bruxelles; Ferdinand Muller-Rommel,
Director of the Center for the Study of Democracy, Leuphana
University; and Susan Scarrow, Chair of the Department of Political
Science, University of Houston.
