Abstract

The objective of this paper is an attempt to answer if non-competitive elections to commune councils in Poland may be the result of incumbency advantage of mayors. The author assumes, that the effects of incumbency advantage of mayors in influence not only the competition for the office of mayor, but also the entire local political scene. These effects may weaken the competitiveness of elections and lead to the cartelisation of local political scenes. In extreme cases, it may even cause the degeneration of political pluralism and lead to non-competitive elections at both the executive and legislative levels. The paper analyses relationships between the competitiveness of elections at the local level and the incumbency advantage effect as exemplified by a group of small communes with up to 20,000 inhabitants and presents the findings of the conducted research in the form of case studies of 18 localities representing six regions of Poland.

地方一级的非竞争性选举和市长的在任优势——来自波兰的研究经验
本文的目的是试图回答波兰的非竞争性选举是否可能是市长在职优势的结果。作者认为,市长的在任优势不仅影响了市长职位的竞争,而且影响了整个地方政治舞台。这些影响可能会削弱选举的竞争力,导致地方政治舞台的卡特尔化。在极端情况下,它甚至可能导致政治多元化的退化,并导致行政和立法两级的非竞争性选举。本文分析了地方一级选举的竞争性与任职优势效应之间的关系,并以一组最多20,000居民的小公社为例,介绍了对代表波兰六个地区的18个地方进行的案例研究的结果。
