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…

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

This dissertation features party cohesion as a factor influencing how voters hold ruling elites accountable. It consists of three essays that dissect the impacts of party cohesion on democratic accountability in the United States. In a nutshell, this dissertation finds that when party cohesion increases, the focus of politics is shifted toward partisan rivalries, and hence the ruling elites may not be held accountable to the public as they pursue partisan goals. The first chapter is an essay titled Income Inequality and Electoral Costs of Party Loyalty in the United States, 1976-2008. The United States features a political system where party loyalty has been traditionally seen as electorally costly to individual legislators. However, if being loyal to the party is costly, why did legislators in the U.S. increase their party loyalty to a high level during the past decades? I argue that the electoral cost of party loyalty could be reduced, and I suggest that such a reduction of electoral cost was resulted from the increases in income inequality. The evidence from the U.S. House elections between 1976 and 2008 indicates that party loyalty becomes less costly when income inequality increases. This finding may not only complement the existing theories of party government, but also shatter the conventional wisdom on the role of the party in personal-vote systems. The second essay is titled Clarity of Responsibility and Clarity of Party Line: The Impacts of Party Cohesion on Economic Voting in the United States, 1980-2008. Powell and Whitten (1993) maintain that governing party cohesion is a stable feature of political systems that enhances clarity of responsibility and economic voting. However, party cohesion is not stable, and there are ebbs and flows in party cohesion. Further, research finds that at the micro level, voters respond to partisan cues and become more partisan when the elites from each party stand with their in-party members and that economic conditions matter less when there are more partisan voters. With data from the American National Election Studies (ANES) between 1980 and 2008, this essay demonstrates that party cohesion is a double-edged sword. As party cohesion increases from a low to mid level, it may strengthen economic voting by enhancing clarity of responsibility. When it is at a high level and party line becomes clear, it may hinder economic voting. Finally, the essay, Resisting Being Held Accountable: The Impact of Party Cohesion on Concentration of Votes in the United States, 1992-2012, is the third chapter. Party cohesion has been seen as a constraint on particularistic exchanges between politicians and voters. However, using the concentration of votes as an indicator of particularistic exchanges between parties and voters, I find that party cohesion has a positive impact on the concentration of votes in presidential elections between 1992 and 2012. This finding suggests that a smaller range of the electorate is served by the…

▼ Three independent studies drawing on the cases from different spaces and times comprise this research project, but they share a common theme: how do expansive reforms that open up paths to political participation take place? The first paper takes up the case of the motor voter reform, which allows people to register to vote at driver's license offices. The reform was widely legislated by U.S. states before the passage of the National Voter Registration Act in 1993. The paper investigates the factors that helped promote the reform at the state level by breaking down the reforms along two dimensions: the voter registration location and the implementation method. Motor voter legislation could either stand alone or be accompanied by agency-based registration (ABR), which includes registration at social service public agencies that primarily serve the poor. A reform could be implemented in an active or passive way. While ABR and active implementation had the potential to mobilize previously alienated socioeconomic groups, motor voter reform itself and passive implementation were expected to have a partisan-neutral and limited impact, respectively. Using data collected from the archived materials of the leading advocacy organization of the reform, Human SERVE, I test the following three general hypotheses statistically: 1) the Democratic Party is interested in mobilizing the poor, 2) electoral competition enhances mobilization efforts by parties, and 3) liberal political culture promotes inclusive electoral institutions. All three hypotheses find some support in the empirical analysis. The second paper focuses on a candidate selection method reform in contemporary Japan. Throughout the first decade of the twenty first century, the (then) opposition Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) used kôbo, an open-recruitment candidate selection method, which was purported to open up the party nomination to non-traditional outsider aspirants. The DPJ's action presented a puzzle: searching for low-electability amateur candidates instead of traditional quality candidates seemed paradoxical for a party preparing to take over power. The paper reveals that using kôbo was a transitional strategy for a young party building itself under the mixed-member majoritarian system. I argue that recruiting "fresh faces" was not what really motivated the use of kôbo, by showing how kôbo increasingly produced insider candidates over time. The third paper investigates the development of direct primary in nineteenth century Pennsylvania. The historical origins of the U.S. primaries have mostly been discussed in terms of statewide legislations around the Progressive Era, which made the primaries mandatory for the two major parties. This paper focuses instead on the voluntary adoption phase that took place under the party by-laws, paying special attention to the case of Pennsylvania after 1842. I argue that the party elites of county organizations initiated the introduction of the primaries in order to prevent defection and to preserve party unity. As the vote…

Political Science

This dissertation studies political party organization in the United States, Germany and Poland during national election campaigns and regular party operations. According to conventional wisdom, changes in party organization, such as professionalized campaigns and communications technology, have detrimental effects on political parties. Katz and Mair argue (1995) that political parties have become agents of the state and fail to provide linkage between the state and the electorate due to these changes in party organization. As cartel parties, political parties are then financially dependent on the state and do not need the support of the electorate. Katz and Mair further suggest that developing a closer relationship with the state has weakened political parties, especially the party on the ground. This dissertation tests whether Katz and Mair's cartel theory applies to political parties in the United States, Germany and Poland examining the parties' organizations during and in between election campaigns and finds that the political parties do not confirm the cartel theory. American and German political parties do not primarily rely on government financing and possess too strong of an electoral linkage to their voters to be considered cartel parties. Political parties in Poland better fit with the cartel theory due to strong financial ties with the state and insufficient linkage with their electorate, both inside and outside of election campaigns. This dissertation argues that the cartel thesis should not be considered a theory since it cannot explain observations regarding political parties and their organizations in the United States, Germany and Poland. Instead, the cartel thesis should be considered a heuristic tool to characterize political parties, continuing the tradition of prior descriptive party models such as those of the mass and the catch-all parties.

▼ This dissertation, a collection of independent papers, explores the polarization of the United States Congress through the lens of primary elections, campaign finance, and party structures during a pivotal moment in American political history. Paper 1 focuses on the top two primary format and its potential in producing moderate candidates and legislators, while Paper 2 expounds on the deleterious consequences it poses for the party system as a whole, particularly in this modern era of both high polarization and high fragmentation. Paper 3 examines the Downsian median voter theorem from the perspective of primary election voters, asking if general election wins/losses beget the nomination of more ideological/moderate nominees next cycle. Ultimately, the article illustrates that the parties instead retain consistent records through both election wins and losses, linked to credibility concerns from position changes as well as the inability of members to disentangle from national party identities. Its companion paper, Paper 4, takes that Downsian question to elites in Washington, D.C. Through original interviews with twenty-three individuals including former members of Congress, leadership, congressional staff, and think tank scholars, I describe the electoral and legislative pressures that prevent officeholders from responding to their median voter, especially among those in swing districts most exposed to the risks of partisan behavior. Paper 5, the final paper, brings together the themes of those preceding it by analyzing the ways in which outside interference, specifically political action committees and more inclusive primary elections, propagates legislative caucus fragmentation and weakens official leadership. This work plays one minor role in providing prescriptive steps to improve and empower channels of dialogue in the U.S. legislative brancha - in spite of larger systemic sorting along geographical and partisan lines - and ensure the mediation of ideology between voters and their elected representatives results in policy solutions rather than gridlock.

▼ The advent of the candidate-centered campaign in conjunction with an array of social, political, and economic changes have altered the electoral environment and the way traditional state political party organizations have asserted themselves in campaigns and elections. In response, this study focuses on the electoral relationship between traditional state political party organizations and state legislative candidates in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana. This study poses two questions: Do traditional state political party organizations make a difference in elections? And, are traditional state political party organizations capable of adapting to and surviving in a candidate-centered environment? To answer these questions, a survey was sent to over 400 legislative candidates and interviews were conducted with over 50 past and present members of the state party in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana after the 2002-2003 electoral cycle. Traditional state political party organizations provide many services that can be classified along five dimensions: campaign finance, candidate recruitment and selection, campaign management, campaign communications, and public opinion gathering and voter mobilization. Within each category the perceived significance of the state party varies, ranging from significant to insignificant, depending upon factors such as the state, party, candidate status, and competitiveness. Overall, this study finds that candidates perceive parties to have played at best only a slightly important role in only one area – public opinion gathering and voter mobilization. In the other four areas candidates generally find the state political party insignificant and not important to their campaign. Although state political parties provide many campaign services, they are not recognized by candidates to be an important campaign services provider. State political parties have survived and have adapted to our candidate-centered electoral environment but must modify the content and delivery of these services and the structure of their organizations if they are to be a more important campaign service provider in the future. Determining the complex and subtle roles played by the traditional state political party organization in state legislative elections allows us to secondarily assess the ability of our traditional state political party organizations to become or act as responsible governing coalitions. If they are to become responsible governing coalitions desired by so many pluralists, then they must first become significant campaign services providers. This study shows that this key ingredient for a responsible governing coalition is missing. Advisors/Committee Members: Gaddie, Keith, (advisor).

▼ 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.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Political Science 2012.

This dissertation seeks to answer three broad questions. First, what can be said about the relationship between states' political environments and public sector pension funding? Using panel data, I investigate the role of partisanship, ideology and other political and economic factors as determinants of the division of costs between public employees and state governments and the long-term funded status of pension plans. Empirical results suggest that cost sharing is not affected by state politics, but that Democratic legislative partisanship and citizen liberalism depressed long-term public sector pension funding over the previous decade.Second, to what extent is the evolution from traditional pensions to defined contribution accounts in the public sector driven by partisanship? I find that Republican legislative partisanship and growth in state indebtedness are significant predictors of whether or not a state will implement such accounts. There is no evidence of pressure from the state governor, annual revenue changes or labor unions. These results clarify some of the factors which contribute to the complex public sector pension climate across the states.Third, what are the costs and implications of defined contribution accounts for public sector employers and employees? In 1997, Michigan began enrolling new state employees in a 401(k) plan but maintained an existing pension for previous hires, making the state an excellent case study for the comparative costs of each program. Results suggest Michigan's 401(k) plan presents lower, more stable annual costs relative to the pension plan, although this has not always been the case. Pension liability growth slowed following implementation of the 401(k) plan, but unfunded pension liabilities remain. Michigan's failure to remit full annual pension contributions and the state's use of pension funds for non-retirement purposes complicates cost determinations, and eventual benefit levels of the 401(k) plan are uncertain.
