摘要

摘要：有相当多的证据表明，精英两极分化影响着普通公民。然而，现有的研究忽视了在与精英的冲突中的温和派公民。我们考虑2017年12月在加泰罗尼亚举行的特殊选举，此前围绕非法独立公投发生了一段时间的激烈冲突。我们评估温和派选民对公投冲突的反应。我们发现，尽管他们中的许多人在更广泛的冲突中立场微妙，但他们对支持和反对分离主义精英之间日益加剧的两极分化采取了明确的立场，这导致他们将选票转向在冲突中立场更明确、更极端的政党。我们得出的结论是，精英两极分化迫使温和派站在一边。

When faced with elite polarization, citizens take sides: The 2017 election in Catalonia

ABSTRACT There is considerable evidence that elite polarization influences ordinary citizens. However, existing research ignores moderate citizens in conflicts opposing elites. We consider the exceptional election held in Catalonia in December 2017 following a period of intense conflict surrounding an illegal independence referendum. We assess the reactions of moderate voters to the referendum conflict. We find that many of them, despite their nuanced positions in the broader conflict, took clear positions in response to the increased polarization between pro- and anti-secessionist elites, which led them to shift their votes to parties with clearer and more extreme positions in the conflict. We conclude that elite polarization forces moderates to take sides.

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.
