摘要

摘要在这篇引言中，我们试图分析地区选举与地区当局之间的关系，以及地区选举在多大程度上是自由和公平的。我们假设，当地区行使更大的权力时，干预的动机会增加，但当地区行政长官当选时，干扰的可能性会下降。定量分析证实，直接选举和更强大的地区机构使它们对中央干预更有吸引力，但民选高管的存在使中央干预的可能性降低。我们放大过去五次地区选举年度审查中出现的九个选举独裁政权，探讨地区选举如何变得不那么自由和公平。我们确定了六种操纵地区选举的策略，这些策略适用于至少两个选举独裁国家：地区和全国选举的同时性、限制政党进入、选区划分不公、地区竞选活动国有化、政党转换和权力集中。

Regional assemblies and executives, regional authority, and the strategic manipulation of regional elections in electoral autocracies

ABSTRACT In this introduction, we set out to analyse the relationship between regional elections and regional authority and the extent to which regional elections are held free and fair. We hypothesize that the incentives to interfere increase when regions exercise more authority but the possibilities to interfere decline when the regional executive is elected. A quantitative analysis confirms that directly elected and stronger regional bodies make them more attractive for central meddling, but the presence of elected executives makes central interference less likely. We zoom-in on nine electoral autocracies that have featured in the past five annual reviews of regional elections to explore how regional elections become less free and fair. We identify six strategies to manipulate regional elections which are applied in at least two electoral autocracies: simultaneity between regional and national elections, limiting party entry, gerrymandering, nationalizing regional election campaigns, party switching, and centralization of authority.

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.
