REVISITING THE SECOND-ORDER ELECTION MODEL AND ITS APPLICATION TO EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ELECTIONS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Original language description
This volume tests whether the second-order election model is applicable to the European Parliament (EP) election in the post-communist European Union (EU) member states. Since the second-order election model has been developed for the analysis of voting behaviour, I test model’s voting behaviour propositions on the sample of ten post-communist countries that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 respectively. In addition, I argue in the dissertation that focusing on citizens’ voting behaviour misses the crucial point that citizens (voters) are not the only main actor in the electoral process. I propose that the second-order election focus also on the behaviour of political parties and media. Subsequently, I derive theoretically informed proposition related to party and media behaviour and test them on the sample of the post-communist countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The results indicate that the 2004 and 2009 EP election in the EU-10 countries can be understood, for the most part, in terms of the second-order election model on the side of voters, political parties as well as media.
