Abstract

This panel invites papers that study the impact of multilevel governance on responsibility attribution and individual vote choices. The aim is to answer the core questions affecting democratic accountability in such systems: Do citizens distinguish areas of responsibility between different levels of government? Are regional elections merely second order or do voters cast their choice based on regional-level issues and performance? How does this vary by voter, party and institutional context? The panel welcomes papers adopting a comparative perspective that employ cross-national and comparative case analyses.
