The number of countries that have adopted policies allowing emigrants to participate in home country elections from abroad has increased greatly in the last few decades. The enfranchisement of non- resident citizens in home country elections is, nevertheless, somewhat controver- sial because it gives political influence to individuals who are unlikely to be affected by the outcome of an election. Despite an active debate on external voting rights among political theorists, little is known what the citizens themselves think of this practice. To examine how both non- resident and resident citizens perceive external voting rights, we use two surveys of Finnish citizens from 2019. The first survey was directed to Finnish citizens living abroad (n = 1,949), and the second was conducted using an online panel consisting of Finnish citizens living in Finland (n = 994). Both surveys included items with normative questions about external voting rights, which allows us to compare what resident and non- resident citizens think of the enfranchisement of external citizens. Our findings suggest that resident citizens view external voting rights more negatively than non- resident citizens. The factors associated with these attitudes are also quite different for the two examined populations. For resident citizens more education and ideological self- placement to the left is associated with more positive views of external voting rights, while experience of having voted from abroad and dissatisfaction with democracy in the host country is associated with more positive views among non- resident citizens.
在过去几十年中,采取政策允许移民从国外参加本国选举的国家数量大幅增加。然而,在母国选举中授予非居民公民选举权有点争议,因为它赋予了不太可能受到选举结果影响的个人政治影响力。尽管政治理论家们对外部投票权进行了积极的辩论,但公民自己对这种做法的看法却鲜为人知。为了研究非居民和居民公民如何看待外部投票权,我们使用了2019年对芬兰公民的两项调查。第一项调查针对居住在国外的芬兰公民(n=1949),第二项调查使用由居住在芬兰的芬兰公民组成的在线小组进行(n=994)。这两项调查都包含了关于外部投票权的规范性问题,这使我们能够比较居民和非居民公民对外部公民选举权的看法。我们的研究结果表明,居民公民比非居民公民更消极地看待外部投票权。与这些态度相关的因素在两个受试人群中也有很大不同。对于居民公民来说,更多的教育和意识形态上的左倾与对外部投票权的更积极的看法有关,而从国外投票的经历和对东道国民主的不满与非居民公民中更积极的观点有关。

Finding the One: Ease of Candidate Choices in High Information Open‐List PR Systems 寻找一个:在高信息公开列表公关系统中候选人选择的便利性

Vote choice in an open- list proportional representation (OLPR) electoral system can be considered a complex process. In systems where votes are cast for individual candidates the choice is complicated by the large number of candidates, the two layers of competition involving both individual candidates and parties, and the amount of information required to make an informed choice. Hence, voters are expected to apply strategies to narrow down the pool of candidates from which the actual choice is made, that is, to create a delimited consideration set using cognitive heuristics. The types of strategies that facilitate voters’ candidate choice are studied. More specifically, the voters’ perceptions of the ease with which they choose their candidate and how this is related to three decision- making patterns are studied: the party- centric, in which the voter looks for party- related and ideological cues; the socio- normative, in which the voter considers their social in- group; and the candidate- related, in which the voter puts emphasis on specific features of the candidates, such as political experience, age and gender. Our study is situated in the Finnish OLPR system, characterized by many candidates, intense intra- party competition and mandatory preferential voting. Using data from the 2019 Finnish National Election Study and ordinal probit selection models, the mechanisms that facilitate the ease of candidate choice are outlined. Our findings suggest that voters feeling close to a political party and knowing the candidate personally or through friends or family perceive their candidate choice as easier.
在开放名单比例代表制(OLPR)选举制度中,投票选择可以被认为是一个复杂的过程。在将选票投给个人候选人的制度中,由于候选人人数众多,两层竞争涉及个人候选人和政党,以及做出知情选择所需的大量信息,选择变得复杂。因此,选民应该运用策略来缩小实际选择的候选人范围,也就是说,使用认知启发式来创建一个限定的考虑集。研究了促进选民选择候选人的策略类型。更具体地说,研究了选民对他们选择候选人的难易程度的看法,以及这与三种决策模式的关系:以政党为中心,选民寻找与政党有关的和意识形态的线索;社会规范性,即选民考虑自己的社会群体;与候选人相关的,选民强调候选人的具体特征,如政治经历、年龄和性别。我们的研究是在芬兰的OLPR系统中进行的,其特点是候选人多,党内竞争激烈,强制性优先投票。利用2019年芬兰全国选举研究的数据和有序概率选择模型,概述了促进候选人选择便利性的机制。我们的研究结果表明,与一个政党关系密切、个人或通过朋友或家人了解候选人的选民会更容易选择候选人。

No More Political Compromise? Swedish Commissions of Inquiry 1990–2016 不再有政治妥协?1990–2016年瑞典调查委员会

This article studies recent trends in the composition and uses of Swedish commissions of inquiry in preparing policy for the government. For much of the 20th century, commissions with representatives of major parliamentary parties and other policy stakeholders served as an arena of negotiation and compromise between the government, the opposition parties, and organised interests. Drawing on a unique data set of 2,087 commissions appointed between 1990 and 2016, we show that their representativeness has declined significantly. We also document a significant decrease in the inclusion of politicians and an increase in the presence of civil servants. Governments have also increased their control over commissions by issuing more directives. We further document a dramatic decline of reservations and dissenting opinions in the commission reports. This may be due to a combination of including fewer potentially dissenting voices and restricting commissions’ scope. We conclude that commissions are no longer the arenas of compromise- seeking that they were for most of the 20th century.
本文研究了瑞典调查委员会在为政府制定政策时的组成和用途的最新趋势。在20世纪的大部分时间里,由主要议会政党和其他政策利益相关者代表组成的委员会是政府、反对党和有组织利益之间谈判和妥协的舞台。根据1990年至2016年间任命的2087个委员会的独特数据集,我们发现他们的代表性显著下降。我们还记录了政治家人数的大幅减少和公务员人数的增加。各国政府还通过发布更多指令来加强对委员会的控制。我们进一步记录了委员会报告中保留意见和反对意见的急剧下降。这可能是由于减少了潜在的反对声音和限制了委员会的范围。我们得出的结论是,委员会不再是妥协的舞台——在20世纪的大部分时间里,它们都在寻求妥协。

The Welfare State Upholders: Protests Against Cuts in Sickness Benefits in Sweden 2006–2019 福利国家维护者:2006-2019年瑞典对削减疾病福利的抗议

The power resource approach (PRA) claims that the labour movement continues to be the most prominent defender of the welfare state. The new politics thesis (NPT), on the other hand, claims that the welfare state has created new interest groups in the form of welfare clients who have taken over as the most prominent welfare state upholders. In an attempt to empirically evaluate these claims, we present a study of the extent to which clients and the labour move- ment have been involved in protests against cutbacks in the Swedish sickness benefit from 2006 to 2019. The article contributes to the welfare state literature by studying a most likely case for PRA- style interest group mobilization both in terms of country (Sweden) and policy area (sick-ness insurance). It also tests the claim from PRA scholars that client interests are uncommon in these contexts. Our results show that protest engagement among client groups is greater than the engagement among the labour movement when looking at protests directed specifically against cuts in the sickness benefit programme. However, when broader protests against cutbacks in several transfer programmes are taken into account, the number of protests initiated by clients and by the labour movement is comparable. Overall, our results suggest that both the PRA and the NPT are needed to explain current developments in social democratic welfare states like Sweden.
权力资源方法(PRA)声称,工人运动仍然是福利国家最突出的捍卫者。另一方面,新政治理论(NPT)声称,福利国家创造了新的利益集团,这些利益集团以福利客户的形式取代了福利国家最突出的维护者。为了对这些说法进行实证评估,我们提出了一项研究,研究了客户和劳工运动在多大程度上参与了反对2006年至2019年瑞典疾病福利削减的抗议活动。本文通过从国家(瑞典)和政策领域(疾病保险)两方面研究PRA式利益集团动员最有可能的案例,为福利国家文献做出了贡献。它还检验了PRA学者的说法,即客户利益在这些背景下并不常见。我们的研究结果表明,在专门针对削减疾病福利计划的抗议活动中,客户群体的抗议参与程度大于劳工运动的参与程度。然而,如果考虑到针对削减若干转移方案的更广泛抗议,则由客户发起的抗议和由工人运动发起的抗议的数量是相当的。总的来说,我们的结果表明,PRA和NPT都需要解释瑞典等社会民主福利国家的当前发展。

Everything Changes, But It All Stays the Same. Labour Market Parties, Corporatism and Norwegian Sick Pay Policies 1978–2014 一切都变了,但一切还是老样子。劳动力市场政党、社团主义和挪威病假工资政策1978-2014

Since the adoption of a generous and universal sick pay scheme in 1978, the key elements of Norwegian sick pay policies have remained the same. The present study focuses on the gradual developments in welfare corporatism and policymaking during this period, arguing that these changes paved the way for new and surprising strategies and behaviour among the labour market parties. Tracking several retrenchment attempts across decades, the analyses show how policymaking in corporatist committees was gradually replaced by less predictable processes. Successive governments of different colors have tried to bypass the social partners and legislate hierarchically, thus signaling a break with traditional corporatist norms and decision rules. Labour and business groups adapted by negotiating a pact that kept the existing distribution of economic risks in the sick pay scheme off the political agenda, and by backing each other and creating negative attention to government in the media to protect the pact. In sum, although sick pay policies have remained largely unchanged, this is a status quo upheld by processes of welfare policymaking that have changed substantially. The pact between the social partners and the state is currently a new vetopoint for welfare policymaking. But the piecemeal institutional transformation witnessed in this period, together with the need for conflictual media strategies and new alliances to protect the pact, suggest that it could be a fragile veto- point.
自1978年通过慷慨和普遍的病假工资计划以来,挪威病假工资政策的关键要素一直保持不变。本研究重点关注这一时期福利社团主义和政策制定的逐步发展,认为这些变化为劳动力市场各方新的、令人惊讶的战略和行为铺平了道路。这些分析追踪了几十年来的几次紧缩尝试,显示了社团主义委员会的政策制定是如何逐渐被不太可预测的过程所取代的。历届不同肤色的政府都试图绕过社会伙伴,分级立法,从而标志着与传统社团主义规范和决策规则的决裂。劳工和商业团体通过谈判一项协议进行了调整,该协议将病假工资计划中现有的经济风险分配排除在政治议程之外,并通过相互支持和在媒体上引起对政府的负面关注来保护该协议。总之,尽管病假工资政策基本保持不变,但这是福利政策制定过程所维持的现状,这些政策制定过程发生了重大变化。社会合作伙伴和国家之间的协议目前是福利政策制定的新否决点。但这一时期出现的零碎的制度变革,加上需要冲突的媒体战略和新的联盟来保护该协议,表明它可能是一个脆弱的否决点。

Making a (Political) Career: Young Party Members and Career‐Related Incentives for Party Membership 从事(政治)职业:年轻党员和与职业相关的党员激励

Few empirical studies have investigated career- related incentives for party membership, including for young party members. Through the lens of rational choice, we ask what career-related incentives young and active party members consider when calculating costs and bene- fits of party membership. We argue for a broad understanding of career- related incentives, including careers outside party politics. The study is based on in- depth interviews with 25 young party members in Sweden. Our main empirical finding is that the interviewees experience a ‘super- dilemma’: Although the young party members might consider a political career, they think it is important to leave the party if it departs from their perceived ideology. Hence, these young members must keep non- political career options open. At the same time, many of the interviewees express concern that their party membership could negatively affect their non- political career. Material incentives offer potential members an expectation or hope of personal reward in return for party membership. These personal rewards can range from patronage appoint-ments or government contracts to more general inducements like career advancement. Solidary incentives offer potential participants the company of like- minded individuals and social or recreational opportunities. Purposive incentives afford individuals an opportunity to assist in achieving the party’s collective policy or ideological goal. (2002, 549)
很少有实证研究调查与职业相关的党员激励,包括年轻党员。通过理性选择的视角,我们询问年轻和活跃党员在计算党员的成本和收益时,考虑了哪些与职业相关的激励因素。我们主张广泛理解与职业相关的激励措施,包括政党政治之外的职业。这项研究基于对瑞典25名年轻党员的深入访谈。我们的主要经验发现,受访者经历了一个“超级困境”:尽管年轻党员可能会考虑政治生涯,但他们认为,如果离开党偏离了他们的意识形态,那么离开党是很重要的。因此,这些年轻成员必须保留非政治性的职业选择。同时,许多受访者表示担心他们的党员身份会对他们的非政治生涯产生负面影响。物质奖励为潜在党员提供了个人奖励的期望或希望,以换取党员资格。这些个人奖励可以是赞助任命或政府合同,也可以是职业发展等更普遍的奖励。稳固的激励措施为潜在参与者提供志同道合的个人陪伴以及社交或娱乐机会。有目的的激励措施为个人提供了帮助实现党的集体政策或意识形态目标的机会。(2002549)

Political Consumerism and Interpersonal Discussion Patterns 政治消费主义与人际讨论模式
IF 1.3 4区 社会学 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2021-05-05 DOI: 10.1111/1467-9477.12204

The ecological impacts of consumption are well acknowledged, and most people worldwide are likely to have encountered proofs for or information about it. Likewise, online and offline media seem to be full of information on the issue. Even so, large numbers of people are ‘non- political’ consumers, inconsiderate of the ethical and ecological implications of what they buy and consume. Using representative survey data from Sweden collected in 2019, this paper shows that a major reason for non- political consumerism can be seen in the lack of interpersonal ‘recruitment’ efforts; that is, deliberate attempts by some to influence another’s consump- tion. Moreover, the analyses show that for a person having faced such attempts by others to influence their consumption is distinct from them discussing political consumption issues. With this, the paper also provides one of the first large- N studies confirming recent theoretical prop-ositions of an extended definition of political consumerism: discussion, that is, discursive action, is a sub- form of political consumerism next to boycotting, buycotting, and lifestyle change. Interpersonal influence, in turn, is a key predictor of political consumerism. Altogether, the results suggest that spreading information may feed discursive actions. Yet, to get more people change their consumption choices and engage in political consumerism, what is needed is that people influence each other to do so.
消费的生态影响是公认的,世界上大多数人可能都遇到过关于它的证据或信息。同样,线上和线下媒体似乎也充斥着关于这个问题的信息。即便如此,很多人还是“不关心政治”的消费者,不考虑他们购买和消费的东西的伦理和生态影响。本文利用2019年收集的瑞典代表性调查数据表明,非政治性消费主义的一个主要原因是缺乏人际“招聘”努力;也就是说,一些人故意试图影响另一个人的消费。此外,分析表明,对于一个面临他人试图影响其消费的人来说,这与他们讨论政治消费问题是不同的。在此基础上,本文还提供了第一批大型N研究之一,证实了最近关于政治消费主义扩展定义的理论命题:讨论,即话语行动,是政治消费主义的一种亚形式,仅次于抵制、购买和生活方式改变。反过来,人际影响是政治消费主义的关键预测因素。总之,研究结果表明,传播信息可能会助长话语行为。然而,要让更多的人改变他们的消费选择,参与政治消费主义,需要的是人们相互影响。

Likewise, online and offline media seem to be full of information on the issue. Even so, large numbers of people are ‘non- political’ consumers, inconsiderate of the ethical and ecological implications of what they buy and consume. Using representative survey data from Sweden collected in 2019, this paper shows that a major reason for non- political consumerism can be seen in the lack of interpersonal ‘recruitment’ efforts; that is, deliberate attempts by some to influence another’s consump- tion. Moreover, the analyses show that for a person having faced such attempts by others to influence their consumption is distinct from them discussing political consumption issues. With this, the paper also provides one of the first large- N studies confirming recent theoretical prop-ositions of an extended definition of political consumerism: discussion, that is, discursive action, is a sub- form of political consumerism next to boycotting, buycotting, and lifestyle change. Interpersonal influence, in turn, is a key predictor of political consumerism. Altogether, the results suggest that spreading information may feed discursive actions. Yet, to get more people change their consumption choices and engage in political consumerism, what is needed is that people influence each other to do so.","PeriodicalId":51572,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Political Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/1467-9477.12204","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48327135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digging in the ‘Secret Garden of Politics’: The Institutionalisation and De‐institutionalisation of Membership Ballots in the Selection of Finnish Parliamentary Candidates 挖掘“政治秘密花园”:芬兰议会候选人选拔中成员投票的制度化和去制度化

This article is the first expressly to focus on membership ballots as an instrument in the selection of parliamentary candidates in Finland, a polity in which the nomination process is inclusive and decentralised. A Finnish case study is of comparative interest for three main reasons: (i) Finland is one of the few European countries in which candidate selection is regulated by the state; (ii) challenging much of the literature, the combination of democratised selection procedures and an intraparty preference voting system has not incentivised individualistic parliamentary behaviour and reduced legislative party unity; (iii) contrary to the trend towards the democratisation of nominations elsewhere, membership ballots, from being routinised and internalised in the four larger historic parties, have become the exception rather than the rule in Finland today. Accordingly, this paper assesses the changing trajectory of membership ballots and asks what does their deinstitutionalisation indicate about the [changing] dynamics of intraparty participatory democracy?
这篇文章是第一篇明确关注成员投票作为芬兰议会候选人选择的工具的文章,在芬兰,提名过程是包容和分散的。芬兰的一项案例研究具有相对的意义,主要有三个原因:(一)芬兰是少数几个由国家监管候选人选拔的欧洲国家之一;(ii)挑战了许多文献,民主化的选举程序和党内优先投票制度的结合并没有激励个人主义的议会行为,也没有减少立法党的团结;(iii)与其他地方提名民主化的趋势相反,成员投票从四个历史上较大的政党的常规化和内部化,已经成为今天芬兰的例外,而不是规则。因此,本文评估了成员投票的变化轨迹,并询问他们的非制度化对党内参与式民主的[变化]动态意味着什么?
