Political Leadership in the Media: Gender Bias in Leader Stereotypes during Campaign and Routine TimesBritish Journal of Political Science - Tập 50 Số 3 - Trang 911-931 - 2020
Loes Aaldering, Daphne van der Pas
This article studies gender differences in media portrayals of political leadership, starting with the expectation that male politicians are evaluated more often on traits belonging to the male leader stereotype, and that female politicians have no such advantage. These gender differences are expected to be especially pronounced during non-campaign periods. To test these expectations, a la...... hiện toàn bộ
Three Worlds of Social Insurance: On the Validity of Esping-Andersen's Welfare Regime DimensionsBritish Journal of Political Science - Tập 43 Số 2 - Trang 323-343 - 2013
Robert Jan van der Veen, Wouter van der Brug
Esping-Andersen developed a typology of welfare regimes: conservative, liberal and social democratic, which are measured on the basis of seven indicators. We re-examine Esping-Andersen's data as well as replication data compiled by Scruggs and Allan to show that the seven indicators do not form valid measures of these welfare regimes. In addition to divergences in their measurement, the se...... hiện toàn bộ
Dynamics of Representation: The Case of US Spending on DefenceBritish Journal of Political Science - Tập 26 Số 1 - Trang 81-103 - 1996
Christopher Wlezien
The representation of public preferences in public policy is fundamental to most conceptions of democracy. If representation is effectively undertaken, we would expect to find a correspondence between public preferences for policy and policy itself. If representation is dynamic, policy makers should respond to changes in preferences over time. The integrity of the representational connecti...... hiện toàn bộ
Juking the Stats? Authoritarian Information Problems in ChinaBritish Journal of Political Science - Tập 46 Số 1 - Trang 11-29 - 2016

It leverages variation in the likelihood of manipulation over two dimensions, arguing that polit...... hiện toàn bộ
Legislative Procedures in the European CommunityBritish Journal of Political Science - Tập 26 Số 2 - Trang 199-228 - 1996
Christophe Crombez
This article presents spatial models of three legislative procedures in the EC: the consultation, co-operation and assent procedures. The theory characterizes for each procedure the set of policies that can be adopted and the equilibrium EC policy as a function of the ideal policies of the countries, the Commission and the Parliament, and the location of the status quo. It yields comparati...... hiện toàn bộ
Decision Making in Political Systems: Veto Players in Presidentialism, Parliamentarism, Multicameralism and MultipartyismBritish Journal of Political Science - Tập 25 Số 3 - Trang 289-325 - 1995
George Tsebelis
The article compares different political systems with respect to one property: their capacity to produce policy change. I define the basic concept of the article, the ‘veto player’: veto players are individual or collective actors whose agreement (by majority rule for collective actors) is required for a change of the status quo. Two categories of veto players are identified in the article...... hiện toàn bộ

Richard E. Matland, Donley T. Studlar
Two decades of turnover data were collected for the national legislature of twenty-five industrialized countries. After a discussion of turnover's significance, we compare turnover rates across countries. A set of variables expected to influence turnover rates is described and multiple regression is used to test the hypotheses developed. Results show that frequency of elections, opportunit...... hiện toàn bộ
Reasoning About Institutional Change: Winners, Losers and Support for Electoral ReformsBritish Journal of Political Science - Tập 37 Số 3 - Trang 455-476 - 2007
Shaun Bowler, Todd Donovan
This study assesses how the mass public reasons about political institutions by examining the effects of winning and losing on support for several electoral reform proposals. The national sample survey identified majorities supporting proposals for major changes in America's electoral institutions, and that suggested electoral losses may have a modest effect in reducing losers' satisfactio...... hiện toàn bộ
