Party Politics

Building: Lossi 36, Room: 215

Monday 11:00 - 12:45 CEST (11/07/2016)

Abstract

This panel examines party behaviour in elections. How do parties try to differentiate themselves from their competitors? What kind of electoral campaigns do they run? What role does the media play in elections? Does the mass media accurately reflect a party’s programmatic profile, or distort it? This panel not only looks at the election itself, but also addresses the periods before and after elections. How do parties decide who is allowed to run in the elections? And what conclusions and consequences do parties draw from their electoral performance?
