1. Some General Consequences of California's Top-Two Primary System

Abstract

This paper analyzes some of the general election consequences of the top-two primary system in California elections beginning in 2012.  In particular we focus on general election contests between candidates of the same party that were not possible under the previous primary system, but have occurred with some regularity with the top-two.  We find that same party elections are characterized by greater competitiveness, lower turnout, and less—but still substantial—polarized voting.

41. Interdependence, density dependence, and networks in politics

Abstract

This article addresses the theoretical and methodological challenges that arise due to the interdependence of actors within political processes. Networks of communication and association provide a resolution to the micro-macro problem in political analysis--they provide a vehicle through which individual behavior is reciprocally connected to behavior in the aggregate. A central argument of the article is that these networks are endogenous not only to individual choice and preference, but also to the environmentally imposed supply of associates, giving rise to patterns of density dependence in politics. Density dependence, in turn, produces its own complex consequences for political processes, and hence interdependence frequently becomes a theoretical as well as a methodological imperative in political analysis. Keywords: networks; social networks; social interaction; context; density dependence; network communication

48. Urban contexts, spatially dispersed networks, and the diffusion of political information

Abstract

Research is presented on the dynamics of social networks for political communication, using voting data on the 1996 presidential elections in St. Louis, Missouri, and Indianapolis, Indiana, as examples. It was found that some networks are not spatially dispersed, but those that are provide links between voters who live in politically and socially diverse settings.
