Local Elections: The Diagonal View on Second-Tier Elections and Voting: Routledge Advances in European Politics

Autor Ulrik Kjaer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 noi 2026
This book fills an important gap by analyzing local elections through a new theoretical framework applied to a large survey of five consecutive local elections and 20,000 respondents.
Using the theory of second-tier elections and voting, it sees local elections as part of a vertical relation with parliamentary elections whilst sharing horizontal characteristics and variations with elections in other local units. Taking a diagonal view to the analyses, the book reveals how vertical congruence varies horizontally across municipalities over time. With its focus on Denmark and covering different features of local elections such as local turnout, local party systems, split voting and national politics impacts, it offers analytical tools for analyzing local elections as well as food for thought regarding local representative democracy.
This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners in local elections/government, electoral studies, party systems, and more broadly in local democracy, political science and public administration and policy.

Recenzii

“Ulrik Kjaer’s book, Local Elections, provides a refreshing way of understanding the role, purpose, outcome and process of local elections that enhances our current understanding of the relationship between national and local political contests. It also offers a conceptual and theoretical framework within which to locate our understanding of the similarities between local and national elections as well as the similarities and distinctions between voting in different municipalities. It is a well written, insightful and research-based book which brings the local elections into a much-needed perspective of how they operate in relation to other elections but also reflect local political factors. The book is a must for the local psephologist but also for anyone interested in understanding more fully local elections and local political systems.”
Colin Copus, Ghent University, Belgium
“This book is a major contribution to the understanding of the role of local elections. It is a comprehensive and empirically well-grounded analysis of the Danish case. In addition, it adds to the general study of the role of local elections in the wider national context, through a development and application of a new theory of second-tier voting.”
Anders Lidström, Umeå University, Sweden
