ABSTRACTIrish political parties cannot be easily fitted into a conventional left‐right framework. The Lipset‐Rokkan centre–periphery concept is employed to explain this situation, and, in particular, to throw light on the persistent success of Fianna Fáil, the nationalist‐populist party which has dominated the system since 1932. It is argued that Ireland affords an example of a polity in which the political concerns and style of the rural periphery came to “invade” and dominate the urban centre for more than a generation. Evidence from a study of urban party activists indicates a persistence of rural political styles and ideological perspectives in a social context which has been urban for well over ha

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to analyze the changing cleavage lines in Danish politics as reflected in people's perceptions of and votes for the various political parties in the system. The focus is on “change” between the 1971 and 1973 elections and what cause this change. Multidimensional scaling techniques help to uncover the differing cleavage lines in Danish politics in the 1971 and 1973 elections and to give us some understanding of the voting patterns underlying them. Direct analysis of correlates of the vote further specifies the causal factors involved in 1971 and 1973 in forming these different cleavage structures. Implications of these findings for the future of the Danish political system are then discus

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this paper is to examine, by comparative analysis, the role played by the state in resolving labor disputes in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland and to suggest reasons that may explain why these roles have assumed different forms in these four countries. Three forms of state action in the settlement of disputes are considered: implementation decisions in cases involving disputes about rights; mediation in cases in which interests are in dispute; and forcible intervention in cases in which it appears that public safety is threatened. These three forms are regarded as dependent variables that vary from country to country depending on two sorts of independent variables: first, historical factors of a political and economic nature (background variables) and second, organizational‐structural factors and parliamentary power factors (intermediate variables). The economic background variables have to do with the character of the industrialization process: the date it began, the pace at which it unfolded, and the kind of economic structure (and in consequence the organizational structure) it brought into being. The political variables have to do first of all with the point in time the political system became democratic and the way this was accomplished; but more special and unique factors are also considered, such as national “traumas” like civil war (Finland) and general strike (Sweden), together with special features of the countries'political cul
