Abstract

ABSTRACT A multilevel electoral system perspective reveals several ways in which electoral spill-over may occur. Vertical spill-over may be top-down from the national to the regional level or can be bottom-up from the regional to the national electoral arena. Horizontal spill-over happens when developments in one regional electoral arena impact electoral outcomes in another regional electoral arena. The literature on regional elections has mainly focused on vertical top-down spill-over. In this introduction, we discuss two main insights in relation to spill-over between electoral arenas that surface when considering the collection of articles and reports presented in this fourth annual review of regional elections. First, we discuss how horizontal spill-over can be identified and differentiated from diffusion of electoral developments driven by territorial cleavages. Second, we discuss several institutions that impact vertical spill-over. We conclude by considering a wider research agenda for the study of spill-over in multilevel electoral systems.

多级选举制度中的横向和纵向溢出

多层次选举制度的视角揭示了选举溢出可能发生的几种方式。纵向溢出可能是自上而下的，从国家到地区一级，也可能是自下而上的，从地区到国家选举领域。当一个地区选举领域的发展影响到另一个地区选举领域的选举结果时，就会发生横向溢出。关于地区选举的文献主要集中在垂直自上而下的溢出效应上。在这篇引言中，我们讨论了在考虑第四次地区选举年度回顾中提出的文章和报告的收集时，与选举领域之间溢出效应有关的两个主要见解。首先，我们讨论了如何识别和区分横向溢出与由领土分裂驱动的选举发展扩散。其次，我们讨论了影响垂直溢出的几个制度。最后，我们考虑了一个更广泛的研究议程，以研究多层次选举制度的溢出效应。

期刊介绍： The upsurge of academic and political interest in regional and federal questions since the 1980s has been stimulated by the salience of regions in EU policy-making and the Structural Funds but also by regionalization and federalization processes in many Western states. The most striking example is the devolution occurring in the UK, but the process is at work all over Europe and in other parts of the world. These developments have led to many important research programmes and projects. Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of international research on these issues. It is essential reading for both academics and practitioners in politics, administration and the business world.
