Abstract |
The project examines the theory of changing political paradigms in voting behavior in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. According to this approach, there should be a transition from the "dominion" to the "distribution paradigm," as well as evidence that we are currently in a phase where the "lifestyle" paradigm is prevailing. By taking account of voter turnout, the yes/no vote difference and voting groups selected according to content criteria, the analysis draws on methods of older voting research in Switzerland. On the one hand, this orientation towards the "old school" results from the more appropriate theoretical approach and the resulting improved approximation to the research project's question. On the other hand, it methodologically allows the formation of voting groups in terms of content rather than statistical criteria.
Since this study compares popular vote proposals with the same or similar content over a long period of time, the historical background in which the male voters (and since 1967 also the female voters) voted. Using the network approach to analyzing voting results, the project aims to review key aspects of the political history and culture of the canton of Basel-Landschaft. |
