Is European party politics hovering above society? Why do voters
pick one party over others? Is it a question of class? Of religion?
Of attitudes about taxes or immigration or global warming? Or is it
something else entirely? The Structure of Political Competition in
Western Europe takes a detailed look at the ways in which Western
Europe's party systems are anchored in social and ideological
structures. The book's first section focuses on the role of social
structures - particularly education, class and religion - and
analyzes the complex interplay among these factors. The second
section addresses the ways that the sociological structures such as
class and religion interact with voters' values. The third section
examines the way that these structures and values shape the space
of political competition among parties. The conclusion integrates
the findings of the empirical articles, putting them into broader
comparative perspective, discussing whether relatively predictable
structures have been overwhelmed by media-driven spectacles,
political personalities and focus on short-term economic
performance. This volume will appeal to scholars and graduate
students in Europe and those from North America, Asia and other
regions who study European politics, political parties, cleavages
and political behaviour. This book was published as a special issue
of West European Politics.
