Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Why do people vote? Are elections a device through which voters discipline politicians? Or are they a way for voters to express their preferences? How can the media influence the political process? In this course we will try to answer such questions both theoretically and empirically.In the first part of the course, we will introduce the workhorse models that will help participants to conceptualize the electoral process. We will build on that to analyze citizens’ participation and voting decisions, the incentives and constraints of policymakers, and how conflicts between groups over policy are resolved.The empirical part of the course will focus on the rise of parties that escape the traditional, bipolar Social-Democrat/Christian-Democrat divide that has dominated European political throughout the second half of the 20th century and polarization of US politics. In this part of the course will discuss evidence on when and which campaign strategies work and the influence of the media, rising trade integration, and immigration on electoral outcomes.
