摘要

摘要奥兰群岛自治区的选民人数不到21000人，他们的代表性非常好。他们在芬兰大选、总统选举和欧洲议会选举中投票；他们投票支持一个拥有30个席位的地区议会——拉廷；他们投票给岛上16个市议会中的一个。在滞后选举中，只有一名议员只代表700名选民。这种低议员选民比例，再加上允许公民进行个人投票的公开名单公共关系选举规则，以及对奥兰自治地位的广泛共识，似乎不利于政党代表的必要性。然而，奥兰人今天由一个制度化的政党体系服务，这个体系虽然反映了斯堪的纳维亚的影响，但本身就很独特。因此，本报告提出了三个基本问题：（i）奥兰党制度是何时以及为什么出现的？（ii）它在多大程度上类似于经典的“斯堪的纳维亚政党制度模式”？（iii）最近的2019年滞后选举表明了个人代表和政党代表之间的平衡？

Personal representation or party representation? Elections in the autonomous Åland Islands

ABSTRACT For an electorate numbering under 21,000 persons, voters in the autonomous Åland islands are remarkably well represented. They vote in Finnish general elections, presidential elections and European Parliament elections; they vote for a 30-seat regional assembly, the Lagting; and they vote for one of the 16 municipal councils on the islands. For Lagting elections there is one MP for barely seven-hundred voters. This low MP-voter ratio, when taken together with open-list PR electoral rules enabling citizens to cast a personal vote, and a broad consensus over Åland’s self-governing status, would appear to militate against the need for party representation. Yet Ålanders are today served by an institutionalised party system which, while reflecting Scandinavian influences, is distinctive in its own right. Accordingly, this report poses three basic questions: (i) When and why did an Åland party system emerge? (ii) To what extent does it resemble the classical ‘Scandinavian party system model’? (iii) What does the most recent 2019 Lagting election indicate about the balance between personal representation and party representation?

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.
