?:abstract
  • So far, in the study of the institutional factors that shape political efficacy, the focus has mostly been on electoral systems. This study adds the difference between wholesale and partial alternation: that is, the difference between those countries where, whenever governments change, all incumbent parties leave office (wholesale alternation), and those countries where only some of the incumbent parties leave office when governments change, while some remain (partial alternation). This distinction may form an important missing variable for the institutional determinants of political efficacy, in particular external efficacy, i.e., an individual’s perceptions about the responsiveness of politicians to citizen demands. In countries with wholesale alternation, elections effectively decide who gets into power, independent of whether a proportional and majoritarian electoral system is used. Citizens are likely to experience higher political efficacy here. In systems with partial alternation, backroom negotiations instead of elections are the crucial forum for government formation. It seems likely that citizens experience lower political efficacy here. Our paper tests this logic using five waves of CSES election surveys combined with data on government formation patterns.
