摘要

当代共和党一直是不对称的党派巩固和派系内讧的场所。我们通过对国会选区层面共和党派系斗争的细致分析,来测试来自极右翼派系(茶党)的派系压力是否加剧了该党的右倾运动。我们使用活动家存在和初选的新数据集来衡量当地的派系斗争。然后,我们进行了差异分析,以评估茶党时代的地方派系斗争是否加剧了地区层面的共和党党派之争和立法极端主义。我们发现,经历派系压力的地区在这两项措施上都向右移动。这些发现有助于澄清茶党是如何赢得共和党的,并支持关注政党派系在煽动党派冲突中的作用。

How Local Factions Pressure Parties: Activist Groups and Primary Contests in the Tea Party Era
The contemporary Republican Party has been the site of asymmetric partisan entrenchment and factional infighting. We test whether factional pressure from a far-right faction (the Tea Party) exacerbated the party's rightward movement with a granular analysis of Republican factionalism at the congressional district level. We develop a measure of local factionalism using novel datasets of activist presence and primary contests. Then, we conduct a difference-in-differences analysis to assess whether local factionalism in the Tea Party era heightened Republican partisanship and legislative extremism at the district level. We find that districts that experienced factional pressure moved rightward on both measures. These findings help clarify how the Tea Party captured the Republican Party and support a focus on the role of party factions in fomenting partisan conflict.
