?:abstract
  • Party system nationalization has been defined as the extent to which uctuations in support for individual parties are uniform across electoral districts. However, there is a potential observational equivalence problem in the study of party system nationalization because uniform fluctuations in support can occur for one of two reasons: either parties are making the same appeal to a homogeneous constituency across different electoral districts or parties are skillfully tailoring different appeals to diverse constituencies in each district. If nationalization occurs for the first reason, we should see broad-based, national spending priorities. If nationalization occurs for the second reason (or does not occur at all), we should see targeted spending priorities. Using electoral data from the CLE, CLEA, and EED electoral databases, budgetary data from the OECD, and sociodemographic data from the CSES, we test for the conditional effect of party system nationalization described above for 24 elections across 13 countries. We find that the normatively desirable ramifications of party system nationalization (curly brace) namely, nationally-oriented policies (curly brace) are not always realized and this realization is conditional on the level of similarity between districts' demographic composition.
