摘要

摘要最近的研究对澳大利亚地区选举的现状含糊其辞，认为它们符合二阶选举模式，但也受到地区政治的影响。我们利用汇总和个人层面的数据来探讨国家和地区现任者对地区选举的可变影响，从而澄清了这种模糊性。尽管国家现任政党似乎会影响澳大利亚的地区选举，但在某些情况下，地区现任政党能够在选举中胜过国家现任政党。我们认为，澳大利亚不协调的国家和地区选举周期以及联邦对政策责任的分配都有助于将选民的注意力集中在地区现任者的表现上。地区现任者处理关键政策问题的方式，包括近年来的新冠肺炎，似乎对他们的选举支持很重要，这使得澳大利亚地区选举不仅仅是二阶事件。

Australian state and territory elections: regional incumbents matter

ABSTRACT Recent research is ambiguous about the status of Australian regional elections, seeing them as conforming to the second-order election model but also as affected by regional politics. We clarify this ambiguity, drawing on aggregate and individual level data to explore the variable impact of national and regional incumbents on regional elections. Although national incumbents seem to affect Australian regional elections, under some circumstances regional incumbent parties are able to electorally outperform their national incumbent counterparts. We suggest that Australia’s uncoordinated national and regional election cycles and federal distribution of policy responsibilities both help to focus voter attention on the performance of regional incumbents. The way that regional incumbents manage key policy issues, including Covid-19 in recent years, appears to matter for their electoral support, making Australian regional elections more than second-order events.

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.
