Abstract

This article assesses the extent to which party youth wings participate in candidate selection and the factors that explain their (lack of) success, focusing on the interplay of formal and informal mechanisms with institutional rules. The results indicate an iceberg-shaped political recruitment ladder, with a stark compression of youth wing representation in the visible steps of candidates and MPs. More youth wing candidates are included in party lists as district magnitude increases, and there is evidence of an apprenticeship effect, with most youth wing candidates who are reselected able to improve their list position. More importantly, informal mechanisms and negotiations between youth wings and the mother party leadership emerge as a central factor in the ability of youth wings to influence candidate lists.

折翼的青年:缩小从招聘青年到候选人名单中的青年代表之间的差距
本文评估了政党青年分支参与候选人遴选的程度,以及解释其(缺乏)成功的因素,重点关注正式和非正式机制与制度规则之间的相互作用。结果表明,政治招募的阶梯呈冰山状,在候选人和国会议员的可见阶梯中,青年分支的代表性被明显压缩。随着地区规模的扩大,更多的青年党派候选人被列入政党名单,而且有证据表明存在学徒效应,大多数重新当选的青年党派候选人都能提高其在名单中的位置。更重要的是,青年分支与母党领导层之间的非正式机制和谈判成为青年分支影响候选人名单的核心因素。

期刊介绍: Electoral Studies is an international journal covering all aspects of voting, the central act in the democratic process. Political scientists, economists, sociologists, game theorists, geographers, contemporary historians and lawyers have common, and overlapping, interests in what causes voters to act as they do, and the consequences. Electoral Studies provides a forum for these diverse approaches. It publishes fully refereed papers, both theoretical and empirical, on such topics as relationships between votes and seats, and between election outcomes and politicians reactions; historical, sociological, or geographical correlates of voting behaviour; rational choice analysis of political acts, and critiques of such analyses.
