摘要:

We examine how clearly citizens in Norway and the United States perceive the ideology and issue positions of parties and candidates. Following in the tradition of Campbell&Valen (1966) and Granberg&Holmberg (1988). we ask: Does the political system matter? We also consider the role of individual sophistication and whether sophistication has different consequences in the two cultural setting. Across a broad range of issues, we find that citizens in Norway have a sharper view of party positions than those in the United States. Sophistication influences the clarity of issue perception in both countries. However, the hypothesis that sophistication matters more in the US is not well supported.

摘要:

In most western countries, public services have been the target of cur‐backs during the past few years. It is often argued that support for a strong welfare slate has declined.

The results also lend some support to the argument that the new middle classes are most willing to see market‐based options implemented in service product

摘要:

The concept of the negotiated economy intuitively catches important developments in state‐market relations. The fruitfulness of the recent development of the negotiated economy as a macro concept is questioned. Two theses deduced from the concept are tested against public regulation of the Danish manufacturing sector. Although regulatory demands on manufacturing firms have increased the complexity of the political environment of firms. the negotiated economy is not an adequate theoretical concept for describing and explaining the increased interdependence of state and market. The negotiated economy might be useful at the sector or sub‐sector level, but for empirical analysis the concept should be more precisely defi
