Campaign Effects in Contemporary Elections

Abstract

This Panel features papers that deal with new developments in election campaigning, such as micro-targeting and social media canvassing, or with classic accounts of campaigning effects, such as paid and unpaid media effects or face-to-face interactions, from a novel perspective. The papers focus on one of these campaign channels or contrast different means of campaigning, or compare findings across electoral contexts. Electoral contexts include local or regional elections, as well as national and/or European elections.
