Parties and Voters in Iceland: A Study of the 1983 and 1987 Althingi ElectionsSocial Science Research Institute, University of Iceland, 1995 - 391 páginas This is the first comprehensive analysis of voting behavior in the highly volatile Icelandic electorate. The book is based on election surveys conducted by the author following the Parliamentary elections of 1983 and 1987. Voting behavior and electoral volatility are analyzed in terms of three theoretical models of voting behavior: a party identification approach, an issue oriented approach and a social-structural approach. The Icelandic findings are compared to voting behavior in Norway and Sweden, and, to a lesser extent, in Denmark, Great Britain and the United States. |
