Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Political Science 2017

This dissertation consists of three essays that investigate various political consequences of economic inequality in democracies. While focusing on the manners in which political actors, including political parties and voters, respond to rising economic inequality in electoral competition, each essay provides explanations of why voter-party linkages based on redistributive preferences weaken when economic inequality increases.The first essay investigates why, counterintuitively, the poor do not vote for leftist parties at the ballot box. While previous studies answer this question by focusing on potential factors distracting the poor from their economic interests, they fail to account for the economic and institutional contexts that may affect the poor's voting calculus. In order to fill this gap, this chapter theorizes that poor voters rely on changes in economic inequality to evaluate the performance of leftist governments. Specifically, I demonstrate that the poor support leftist parties only if the leftist government successfully advances the economic well-being of the poor by reducing economic inequality. Employing a hierarchical regression analysis using survey data from 54 elections across 21 advanced democracies, I find that income-based voting decreases when the wealth gap widens under leftist governments.The second essay focuses on right-wing parties' responses to changes in economic inequality in electoral competition. This chapter argues that the varying degrees of political constraints in advanced and emerging democracies incentivize right-wing parties to respond in different manners to the various levels of economic inequality. Specifically, rightist parties in advanced democracies attempt to politicize social issues in the face of high inequality. The reason underlying this attempt is that in advanced democracies stronger political constraints imposed on the strategic choice of party leadership curb opportunistic policy moderation of the rightist parties. In nascent democracies, however, the right-wing parties opt for more leftist positions within the economic dimension. I find supporting evidence for the predictions using 1754 party platforms of 475 parties in 44 democracies.The last essay empirically examines factors that may affect the intensity of ethnic appeals of political parties in electoral competition. In order to investigate the determinants of ethnic appeals, I focus on political and economic conditions that shape the incentive of political parties to engage in ethnic appeals in their pursuit of electoral gain. Relying on previous research studying ethnic politics, I then identify political and economic factors that are argued to incentivize political entrepreneurs to mobilize voters around ethnic issues. I find consistent evidence that economic inequality between (or within) ethnic groups is positively (or negatively) correlated with the intensity of parties' ethnic appeals using the information on party platforms of 386…

▼ While I do not dispute the pivotal role played by party leaders in setting and shifting a party position, I argue that the impetus for party shifts sometimes comes from the "bottom-up" – that is, from party members themselves. At times, the party position held by the leadership conflicts with some members' constituency interests. Faced with this conflict, backbench members use the legislative process to signal their intention to defect from the party on policy unless the leadership modifies the party's existing position. Party members' party-splitting votes under constituency pressures, however, do not always lead the party into a new brand. If one party, particularly a majority party, is divided but the other party is united over a policy issue, this issue drives a wedge within the majority party. If this wedge issue continues to split the majority party and unite the minority party, the majority party is likely to shift its policy position to solve its dilemma of party division. To test my theory of party position shifts, I explore three historical cases in which there was position change by one or both parties over immigration, national security, and trade. More specifically, these include: the switch of congressional Republicans from anti- to pro-exclusion on Chinese immigration in the post-Reconstruction period; the shift of congressional Democrats from a party of "guns" and "butter" to a party of only "butter" in the post-Vietnam War era; and Republican and Democratic flip-flopping on China and MFN in the post-Cold War period. My findings suggest that policy change in these cases is driven by the shifting preferences of members as they try to resolve tension between the party and the constituency. Sometimes party rank-and-file members are in the driver's seat in defining the parties' positions. This is as true for foreign policy as it is for domestic policy. My dissertation shows that in a representative democracy, the transition from voters' preferences to lawmakers' votes occurs through the politics of procedural voting strategies in Congress.

▼ What role do state party organizations play in twenty-first century American politics? What is the nature of the relationship between the state and national party organizations in contemporary elections? These questions frame the three studies presented in this dissertation. More specifically, I examine the organizational development of the state party organizations and the strategic interactions and connections between the state and national party organizations in contemporary elections. In the first empirical chapter, I argue that the Internet Age represents a significant transitional period for state party organizations. Using data collected from surveys of state party leaders, this chapter reevaluates and updates existing theories of party organizational strength and demonstrates the importance of new indicators of party technological capacity to our understanding of party organizational development in the early twenty-first century. In the second chapter, I ask whether the national parties utilize different strategies in deciding how to allocate resources to state parties through fund transfers and through the 50-state-strategy party-building programs that both the Democratic and Republican National Committees advertised during the 2010 elections. Analyzing data collected from my 2011 state party survey and party-fund-transfer data collected from the Federal Election Commission, I find that the national parties considered a combination of state and national electoral concerns in directing assistance to the state parties through their 50-state strategies, as opposed to the strict battleground-state strategy that explains party fund transfers. In my last chapter, I examine the relationships between platforms issued by Democratic and Republican state and national parties and the strategic considerations that explain why state platforms vary in their degree of similarity to the national platform. I analyze an extensive platform dataset, using cluster analysis and document similarity measures to compare platform content across the 1952 to 2014 period. The analysis shows that, as a group, Democratic and Republican state platforms exhibit greater intra-party homogeneity and inter-party heterogeneity starting in the early 1990s, and state-national platform similarity is higher in states that are key players in presidential elections, among other factors. Together, these three studies demonstrate the significance of the state party organizations and the state-national party partnership in contemporary politics.

▼ Using the framework of multi-speed membership, this thesis explores party membership and party organisational change. It does so within a single party case study, the British Labour Party: a party that has made significant changes to its membership model in the period of analysis (2011-2018). This party provides a critical case within which to explore and expand our understanding of membership and membership change. The case study takes both a demand-side (elite) and supply-side (members) approach in order to understand both the causes and consequences of multi-speed membership change. On the demand side, the question of 'why change?' is answered by developing a multi-level model of party change, a model appropriate to the idea of multi-speed membership. This framework not only facilitates a broad exploration of party change but demonstrates the value of a multi-level, interactive model which accounts for the role of party actors in shaping change as well as responding to it. The supply-side analysis explores the nature of party membership and the relationships between members and their party. This member-centred approach reveals the dynamics in this relationship: the processes that lead to joining, what happens after joining, and how and when the relationship sometimes ends. In taking this approach, new concepts and categories for understanding party membership are developed. These conceptual developments suggest a path towards solving some of the puzzles of party membership, such as why, in spite of significant ideological incongruence and dissatisfaction, some party members don't leave. This thesis seeks to fill the qualitative gap in party membership studies applying a mixedmethods approach utilising interviews, document analysis and participant observation within a single critical case to develop a comprehensive picture of the dynamics of party membership and party organisational change. This in-depth analysis of change in one party adds to our general understanding of party membership, party membership changes and their consequences, with insights that can be applied across other cases.

▼ As a graduate student in political science, I became interested in the role of political parties in the American political process. There are a number of political scientists who now share V. O. Key's conviction that party systems can be truly understood only in their "dimension of time." A perusal of the literature on the subject indicates that many political and social scientists have concerned themselves with the relationship between the social system and the political system. In the last decade, political scientists have adopted an interdisciplinary approach, borrowing conceptual and theoretical tools from sociology. In like manner, sociologists have tried to relate political science and sociology in the study of man's social environment. A question that has been the subject of much debate concerns the conditions under which party competition exists. For example, why do some counties and states in the United States consistently vote for one party while other counties and states consistently support the other party? And why do other counties and states have competitive two-party systems? One of the more interestlng aspects of this question is the nature of the relationship between party competition and urbanization. Do relationships persist between these two factors through different time periods? Or is the relationship only a temporary one, limited by some particular event? Some researchers have found support for Key's contention that more highly and more urbanized states and counties tend to have more competitive party systems over long periods of time, although there have been dissenters. A number of studies have attempted to show that urbanization and party competition are significantly correlated with one another. In this paper, the inquiry explores this relationship in California. Chapter I provides an introduction to the study and attempts to put the nature of the study in proper perspective. In Chapter II there is a review of several selected studies which reveals the nature of the controversy and the disagreements among scholars. Included in this chapter is a discussion of the methodology used, not only in the studies mentioned above, but in the study of California as well. Chapter III deals with the actual analysis of the relationship between urbanization and party competition in the Californla counties. Chapter IV presents conclusions regarding the findings in California and offers speculation on why the data shows what it does and the extent to which it is generalizable. In general, value statements have been excluded. However, explanatory statements have been provided for clarity and continuity of the text. Advisors/Committee Members: Fay, Dr. James S.

▼ In 2000 the 71-year rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the longest period of single party rule in the world, came to end, with it appearing that Mexico was entering a more democratic phase of its history. The change of regime did not however result in the destruction of the PRI or its institutions. For this reason, the democratisation process in Mexico has been postponed for years. Mexico's fairly new democracy still faces many of the problems of the past, which have prevented the country from consolidating its democracy. This dissertation tries to identify the areas which have been important to the democratisation process in Mexico, and how these areas function today. It does so from an historical perspective since much of today's problems have roots in the past. The past is then connected to contemporary Mexico. Mexico bears the burden of its history and this has been central to the delay of the consolidation of democracy. This dissertation deals with Mexico's transition to democracy, and its problems of consolidation by looking at the past and current state of the civil society, political society, and the rule of law. As a framework for the dissertation, a transition model developed by Juan J. Linz and Alfred Stepan, called the five arenas is used, along with different typologies of democracy and political parties. The existence of a strong, and fully functional political party system is crucial for the consolidation of democracy; this dissertation explores the evolution of the political party system under a hegemonic party rule of 71 years, and its later evolution to a more pluralistic, yet, not fully functional system during the 1990s and 2000s. Undemocratic electoral practices of the past under the hegemonic party system, have resulted in a weak political party system characterised by the absence of strong grassroots associations among citizens, the lack of clearly-defined ideological platforms, and their link to a charismatic leader rather than the strength of their founding principles. Parties that had been traditionally relegated to opposition for 71 years have now had the possibility to attain significant political power. Once faced with such a possibility, former opposition parties have realised that as a result of the lack of highly qualified leaders they have recruited former politicians from the ranks of the PRI. Undemocratic practices that were thought to have been exclusive to the hegemonic party have now spread to almost all other political parties in Mexico, further complicating the successful consolidation of democracy. The absence of unity in Mexico's political system created a similar condition in the criminal arena as criminal organisations started to mushroom. There has been a systematic failure of past and current administrations to quell violence, re-establish the state's presence, carry out significant state reform and to introduce functional political institutions. The link between political instability, weakened political parties and the surge in violence has often been…

Party Reform in a Climate of Political Polarization Anthony Stasi, Ph.D.Director: John Kenneth White, Ph.D.Abstract This dissertation examines the evolution of American political parties as institutions and explores how useful they are to the political process now and going forward. There has been a substantial amount of scholarship written on the development of political parties, but not a great deal of that scholarship is current. Without a robust party system, a democracy is left rudderless, and vulnerable to special interest groups. This research builds on the work of E.E. Schattschneider, V.O. Key, Sidney Verba, and many others while comparing that work to the modern political climate of polarization. The work in this dissertation takes a historical or archival approach to determining how political parties have experienced strong and weak periods. The historical perspective is followed by substantial modern data that suggests political parties are now in a weakened state. The intermediate variables that have contributed to the current state of political parties are explored throughout the middle chapters. There are established theories as to why voters have drifted from parties; demographic changes to the country, the way the American narrative is taught, geographical differences, etc. While those theories are valuable and carry with them a great deal of scholarship, there may be practical adjustments to the electoral process that would make participation in party politics more attractive. To give further evidence of this, states and cities in the United States have experimented with various forms of electoral change as a means to bring more voters into the primary process. The argument made here is that although American voters, especially in the last half-century, have somewhat of an aversion to political parties, they may be the only realistic approach to keeping the democracy from falling to factionalized special interests. The historically high numbers of independent voters has left parties smaller and more ideological. It also means that they are less representative of the larger electorate. Parties are, however, able to self-regulate the electoral process and thus regulate the political process away from special interest groups. The research is a mix of both structural and historical elements, coupled with metrics of electoral roles, party registrations, and voter turnouts. Despite the heavy amount of research on parties in the past, the prospect of a political landscape without parties has not been considered as deeply. Parties in a modern climate can be a stabilizing force among the moneyed and influence political interests that stand outside the electorate.

▼ Using an original dataset of state party bylaws, this dissertation examines the institutional role of state political parties in congressional primaries. Specifically, I consider how representative state political parties are of the general public, whether the varying levels of representation found in each state party influence who runs for Congress, and whether state political parties are able to influence levels of electoral competition through provisions of their bylaws. Overall, I find both state Democratic and Republican parties vary in the extent to which they prioritize gender representation and youth representation in their state central committees through their party rules. However, these rules only seem to influence the candidate emergence process during Democratic primaries. Specifically, in 2018, Democratic women were more likely to run for the House of Representatives when representing a state party chaired by a woman and when representing a state party which granted party committee membership to an allied women's group. Similarly, state Democratic parties were more likely to nominate younger candidates for the House of Representatives as the number of youth party members in their state central committee increased. Beyond candidate emergence, I find state party rules also influenced levels of electoral competition during the 2018 congressional primary elections, albeit differently for each party. State Democratic parties were less likely to see divisive primaries when they avoided policies that required the party to remain neutral during contested primaries. In comparison, state Republican parties were less likely to see divisive primaries, and also saw fewer primary candidates in general, when they guaranteed ex-officio party membership to their co-partisan elected officials.

Political Science

We frequently hear that Latinos are the fastest growing minority group in the United States. We also know that like many American immigrant groups, Latinos tend to reside in states where a critical mass of their community already is settled, in this case largely for geo-political reasons (e.g. New Mexico, Arizona, California, Texas, Florida and New York). Why, then, is Latino participation in national politics lower than white, Black, and Asian voters? And who has an interest in doing something about it? This project addresses several interrelated questions concerning the place of Latinos in American politics and the health of democracy in the United States. Political parties are meant to link citizens to the state. However, parties often fear that reaching out to certain groups may alienate the concerns of some core voters, providing a disincentive to political parties to prioritize Latino outreach. Here, I ask, to what degree are local political parties involved in mobilizing Latino voters as compared to other voting groups? Interest groups have much narrower constituencies than political parties by definition, but their purpose may not be exclusively, or even primarily, electoral. So, what role do interest groups and community organizations play in getting Latinos to vote? Perhaps parties and interest groups compliment each other's efforts to mobilize Latinos, so I ask, what relationship do political parties and interest groups develop in the push to mobilize Latino voters? I hypothesize that political parties increase efforts to mobilize Latino communities when these groups of voters are known to be reliable partisan voters and pivotal to winning elections at the local, state, and/or national level. Party organizations are unlikely to target Latino voters when they are few in number and make little difference in an election. Second, interest groups and organizations concerned with Latinos issues are going to be more consistent in mobilizing Latino voters whether or not they constitute a significant segment of the population and are pivotal to winning elections at the local, state, and/or national level. To answer these questions, I use several methods to gather data. Between November of 2008 and February 2009, I conducted a mail survey of 217 county political party chairs concerning Latino mobilization in the 2008 Presidential race. The survey was submitted to the chairs of every county political party in the ten states with the highest percentage of Latino population: Arizona, California, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and Texas. Responses were then matched to county census and election data in order to understand the relationship between mobilization activity, county demographics, and partisan identity. What best predicts Latino mobilization? Using a multiple regression model, I found that Latino population size threshold and whether a county resides in a presidential swing state most strongly predict Latino mobilization. The greater the size of the…

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Political Science 2014.

This dissertation consists of three essays that seek to improve upon theoretical and empirical accounts of the three dimensions of party system institutionalization: (i) emergence of new parties; (ii) party nationalization; and (iii) ideological congruence between parties and voters. In explaining these aspects of the party system, my approach highlights the role of the informal mechanisms of clientelism. My dissertation argues that clientelism exerts centrifugal forces on the relationships among key actors, which in turn has negative effects on institutionalization.The first essay investigates why new parties emerge in an environment where clientelism is widespread, if clientelist practice empowers the ruling parties as conventional wisdom suggests. To answer this question, I highlight the structural aspect of clientelism. Drawing upon bargaining theory, I contend that when extensive clientelist practice is coupled with a decentralized resource structure, abundant resources actually reduce political actors' incentives to pledge allegiance to the incumbent party, as in this situation their resource needs can be easily met by alternative resource channels. I demonstrate that the combination of clientelist resources and decentralized clientelist structure creates an incubator for the birth of new parties.In the second essay, I ask why some parties are competitive throughout the country, while others appeal to only a few specific regions. In this study, I examine if and how much informal mechanisms of clientelism mediate the impact of formal party structure on party nationalization, i.e. the patterns of territorial vote distribution of parties. To this end, I explore the relationship among three variables: party structure, effectiveness of clientelism, and party nationalization. I hypothesize that extensive party structure enhances the effectiveness of parties' clientelist efforts, which in turn decreases party nationalization. Where clientelist efforts are effectively translated into electoral gains, elites and voters are more likely to establish relationships beyond party organizations. Therefore, I argue that effective clientelism undermines a party's organization as a collective entity. As existing studies suggest, parties with extensive organization tend to have higher levels of party nationalization. However, I find that this positive impact is suppressed to the extent that these organizational attributes improve the effectiveness of clientelism.Finally, the third essay examines the impact of clientelism on the level of congruence. Conceptualizing clientelism as a tool of persuasion employed by political parties, I maintain that elites distribute clientelist rewards in order to alter the preferences and behaviors of voters who would otherwise hold different or no views about parties' policies. In response to the rewards, I argue, some voters will develop an affinity to a patron party, and subsequently vote for that party despite it being located…

▼ This research aims to study the structure, funding and promotion of political parties in Greece, with significant reports, comparisons and analytical tables concerning the relevant institutional legal-political framework in Europe and United States of America. The ultimate aim is to highlight the inherent weaknesses of the existing political system, comparison and exemplification of the wider geopolitical system, as well as the juxtaposition of alternative proposals for improvement and change in order to eliminate any inequality in political competition and the waking of the citizen as an active member of society. The method used to conduct the research was to study in separate pieces the origin, structure, funding, promotion and position of political parties in society, highlighting the weaknesses at each stage and the juxtaposition of alternative proposals so at each stage separately and in the aggregate at the end. The literature and the case law of all chapters are at the end of the doctoral dissertation.Political parties are important for the functioning of the regime on the one hand because they are a tool to connect the citizen to the governance bodies on the other because they form the channels through which these bodies are informed of the citizens’ requests. The party system affects the structure of the parties developed in a country. The party system depends on the specific weight of certain critical factors, but also from their interdependence. In a multiparty system is given the opportunity to various political parties to come to power, either alone or forming coalition governments. On the other side, in the one-party domination systems Duverger since 1951 integrates only one-party systems and the systems of “dominant” party. The subsequent theory added two new categories: the hegemonic party systems and “standing above party” systems. But the multiparty leads to externalize political processes. The negotiation for the creation of political compromises is made public and more openly. The corresponding processes within major parties rarely acquire the same publicity and transparency.The constitutional legislator according to the innovative provision of paragraph 2 of Article 29 of the Constitution empowered the common legislator to arrange the state funding of political parties as well as the publication of their election expenses, as well as the expenses of prospective Members. The first such law that was passed was the Law 1443/1984 . Science, case law and the political parties throughout the period spotted weaknesses themselves and made recommendations for their treatment with a view to modernizing it. These proposals formed the basis for the formulation of several of the provisions of the Law 2429/1996 . A few days before the end of the second regular session of Parliament that emerged from the elections of April 9, 2000 the Law 3023/2002 was passed. With the adoption of the Law 3023/2002 the common legislator is harmonized to the new provisions of article 29 paragraph 2 of the Constitution. From 1st…

▼ One of the defining social group cleavages in contemporary America is partisanship. Through the powerful force of group identity, partisanship can influence vote choice, issue positions, and attitudes towards government, politicians, and other partisans in political and apolitical contexts. While previous studies on partisanship demonstrate its extensive effect on both political and apolitical outcomes, little work looks at the content of partisan stereotypes and what type of information can activate partisan identity and discrimination when partisan labels are absent. In this dissertation, I argue that partisan identity and a range of social identities are now so intertwined that people can use the cultural symbols of these partisan coalition social groups, such as wearing camouflage or listening to rap for example, to infer partisan identity. These cultural preferences, like clothing style or music choice, are omnipresent pieces of information that are easily and casually communicated to others or observed simply by looking at someone. Through the political behavior of cultural group leaders and the cultural behavior of politicians, these omnipresent cultural symbols can become politicized signals of partisan identity. As a result, people can and do engage in the partisan categorization of others either through small talk or, in some cases, without strangers even uttering a word, much less sharing an issue position. Furthermore, this partisan categorization has numerous downstream consequences for interpersonal interactions. Through the associative network surrounding partisan identity in long term memory, partisan categorization can activate partisan stereotypes and the affective tags people attach to the two parties.
