Are All Politics Nationalized?: Evidence from the 2020 Campaigns in Pennsylvania
Editat de Stephen K. Medvic, Matthew M. Schousen, Berwood A. Yosten Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 dec 2022
The editors and contributors examine the 2020 elections in six Pennsylvania districts to explore the level of nationalization in campaigns for Congress and state legislature. They also question if politicians are encouraging nationalized behavior and straight ticket voting—especially with down-ballot races.
Are All Politics Nationalized? concludes that issues specific to particular districts—such as fracking and local union politics—still matter, and candidates are eager to connect with voters by highlighting their ties to the local community. National politics do trickle down to local races, but races up and down the ballot are still heavily localized.

Recenzii
“Nationalization seems to be a skeleton key explaining various aspects of contemporary American politics, but recent research has focused overwhelmingly on voters—not on political parties, politicians, or campaigns. This indispensable volume compiles detailed studies of 2020 campaigns in Pennsylvania to identify the limits of today’s nationalization. Even amidst a pitched presidential campaign in a pivotal state, local issues and appeals were central to many campaigns. With incisive studies of six congressional districts in the Keystone State, this book is an essential addition to our understanding of campaigns, elections, and nationalization.”—Daniel J. Hopkins, Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of The Increasingly United States: How and Why American Political Behavior Nationalized
“Nationalization is a purported hallmark of contemporary American politics. In Are All Politics Nationalized? editors Stephen Medvic, Matthew Schousen, and Berwood Yost examine the extent of nationalization in the swing state of Pennsylvania. Research on nationalization emphasizes partisan fealty in mass voting behavior, but the editors take a different approach by considering the behavior of candidates on the campaign trail. By investigating select 2020 U.S. House races paired with two state house contests embedded in these congressional districts, the contributors assess the level of nationalization up and down the ballot in shared political contexts. This novel study will make you reconsider the degree to which the national ‘party line’ animates and shapes electoral politics.” —Seth C. McKee, Professor and American Government Coordinator in the Department of Political Science at Oklahoma State University, and coauthor of Rural Republican Realignment in the Modern South: The Untold Story
