Abstract

Abstract By performing a manifesto content analysis, this article maps the discourse of secessionist parties on constitutional change cross-case (Belgium, Canada, Spain, and the UK) and over time (1990–2020). The results show that secessionist parties are pragmatic organizations that also advance devolutionist demands as a steppingstone toward full independence. Concerning framing, the results identify an increasing trend toward the articulation of a socioeconomic case for constitutional change. Political issues such as governance are also important. Instead, identity-based frames are much less prominent in their discourse. As strategic actors, secessionists take these decisions to enhance their position in the electoral market.

“改善人民生活”:党为修宪辩护的社会经济转向
通过对宣言内容的分析,本文绘制了分裂主义政党在跨案例(比利时、加拿大、西班牙和英国)和不同时期(1990-2020年)关于宪法改革的话语图谱。结果表明,分离主义政党是务实的组织,他们也将权力下放的要求作为走向完全独立的垫脚石。在框架方面,研究结果表明,越来越多的人倾向于阐述宪法改革的社会经济案例。治理等政治问题也很重要。相反,基于身份的框架在他们的话语中不那么突出。作为战略参与者,分离主义者采取这些决定是为了提高他们在选举市场中的地位。

The journal publishes case studies and comparative and theoretical analyses.
