Der Fall Indien 1952-1967. ; Ein globales Modell der Wahlkonkurrenz wurde vorgeschlagen mit dem Ziel, die Frage der Beziehungen zwischen Beherrschung/ Konkurrenz und Zweiparteiensystem/ Mehrparteiensystem zu losen. Dieses Problem stellt sich bei alien Wahlsystemen. Zwei Parameter sind entdeckt worden, die unter Umstanden alle logischen oder empirischen Kombinationen dieser beiden Dimensionen einfach erklaren konnten. Ausgehend von den Resultaten der zwei Kandidaten die die meisten Stimmen erhielten, sind diese Parameter : 1) das Stimmenverhaltnis, das von den 2 ersten Kandidaten erreicht wurde; 2) die zusammengezahlten Stimmverhaltnisse dieser beiden Kandidaten. Ihre Wechselbeziehung bestimmt die 4 Ebenen des Wahlkonkurrenzsystems : Monopol oder Einparteienherrschaf t, Oligarchie mangels anderem, Polyarchie oder Wettbewerb zwischen zwei Parteien. Im Fall Indiens neigt die Wahibeteiligung dazu, Funktion der Intensitat des Wettbewerbs zu sein. Die Tendenz der Wahler wird besser mit Begriffen der Organisation, als mit ideologischen Ausdrucken wiedergegeben. Die Rechts - oder Linksparteien neigen dazu, ihre Anstrengungen im Verhaltnis zu den Wtinschen der Wahler zu verteilen. Nachdem synchronische Analysen durchge- fuhrt wurden, hat man die zeitliche Entwicklung untersucht. Die erreichte Klas- sifizierung bestatigt die Mittelposition des Kongresses und die relativ grossere Stabilitat der Rechts - und Linksparteien und Wahler. Ein stochastisches Modell wurde benutzt, um die Kontinuitat des Wahlkonkurrenzsystems beim Fall der Wahlen von 1967 zu iiberprufen. Dabei wurde eine bedeutende Berichtigung des Systems vorgenommen.

In order to account for this pattern, we develop an empirical model that distinguishes between democracy as an ideal (desirability) and democracy understood as a viable political system (suitability). We draw on a survey of the Korean public to demonstrate that changes in these dimensions follow distinct trajectories, according to the recollections of our respondents, during the course of democratization. While beliefs about democracy-in-principle appear to be fairly impervious to political events and socioeconomic conditions, attitudes toward democracy-in-practice reflect a learning curve as the transition unfolds. We estimate the relative impact of evaluations of the economy, of the quality of life, and of governmental performance and political experienc...

These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

An obvious challenge lies in the complexity of party competition. Questions arise, for example, not only as to whether closer competition tends to be associated with higher turnout but also as to whether turnout varies with biparty and multiparty types of competition. There is, of course, sheer informational value in determining whether participation is higher or lower with bipartism or multipartism; but there is little theoretical basis for assuming that participation should vary either way under the different competitive situations. How such covariation may itself be related to the determinants and consequences of competition and participation is still another question. Samuel P. Huntington is one of the few scholars to have examined the relationships between party competition and electoral participation from a comparative perspective. The purpose of this article is to test Huntington's propositions using returns for the first four general elections in India.2 Along the way, I shall attempt to clarify some ambiguities in

The first takes into account the fact that, in instances of regime change, ordinary citizens can meaningfully compare democratic and antidemocratic political systems. The second element considers the content of interregime comparison, in particular, standards of economic growth and social equity. Third, the phenomenon of trust in private and public domains is brought into play for the purpose of specifying a distinctively democratic type of political legitimacy. Finally, the strengths and limitations of the model are discussed, with special reference to its utility in situations where regime transitions are not involved, and where the focus is on mass as well as elite politics.
