Abstract

ABSTRACT This article analyses the 2019 local, regional, European and April general elections in Spain. The constitutional crisis in Catalonia in 2017, the motion of no-confidence leading to the new Socialist government and the emergence of a radical right-wing party, VOX, all led to Spanish politics becoming more polarised. This paper also discusses polarisation from both the left-right and the territorial perspectives, intimately linked in Spain both for historical reasons but also because of agency decisions during the period analysed. Finally, the article shows the electoral results, government formation processes and political implications of polarisation in a non-institutionalised party system.

2019年4月和5月的西班牙多次选举:领土和左右两极分化的影响

本文分析了2019年西班牙的地方、地区、欧洲和4月份的大选。2017年加泰罗尼亚的宪法危机、导致社会党新政府的不信任动议以及激进右翼政党VOX的出现，都导致西班牙政治变得更加两极化。本文还从左右翼和领土的角度讨论了两极分化，这两方面在西班牙既有历史原因，也因为分析期间的机构决策而密切相关。最后，本文展示了非制度化政党制度下的选举结果、政府组建过程和两极化的政治含义。
