摘要

2000年，工会试图通过提高工会成员支持戈尔的投票率来增强其政治影响力。这一策略被认为在一个选民参与度极低的政体中特别有效。工党的政治努力帮助戈尔在普选中获胜，但工会的政治策略失败了，因为选举人团的动态变化和美国许多地区工会密度低。

Labor Unions and American Elections

In 2000, labor unions attempted to enhance their political influence by increasing voter turnout among union members in support of Al Gore. This strategy was thought to be especially effective in a polity where voter participation is so low. Labor's political efforts helped Gore to a popular vote victory, but the union political strategy failed because of the dynamics of the Electoral College and low union density in many regions of the United States.

期刊介绍： Long established as the leading publication in its field, the journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics contains scholarly articles which both report original research on the politics of Commonwealth countries and relate their findings to issues of general significance for students of comparative politics. The journal also publishes work on the politics of other states where such work is of interest for comparative politics generally or where it enables comparisons to be made with Commonwealth countries.
