1 Syllabus Spring 2012 ELECTORAL BEHAVIOR: Exploring The Role of Institutions, Campaigns, Parties & Events Départment Science Politique et Relations Internationales Université de Genève PRACTICAL INFORMATION Meeting Time: Wednesday am Meeting Room: Uni-Mail M 2193 Instructor: Catherine E. De Vries Office: Uni-Mail, 4th floor, room 4266 Telephone: catherine.devries@unige.ch Office Hours: Tuesday am, or by appointment Course Website: COURSE DESCRIPTION This course aims to familiarize students with state-of-the-art approaches within the study of electoral behavior. Specifically, it deals with questions of how the context in which elections are fought and voters have to make up their minds, affects electoral decisions. In order to conceptualize contextual effects in electoral behavior, we will focus on four key components: institutions, campaigns, real-world events, and the behavior and strategies of political parties. In doing so, this course aims to bring together contemporary work on how context characteristics shape voters behavior and partisan leanings. A wide variety of topics will be covered. First, we will review key scholarly work theorizing the role of context in electoral behavior. Next, we turn to studies that spell out the way in which institutional configurations, such as the electoral system or clarity of responsibility, affect voters party choices. Thereafter, we explore the ongoing academic debate regarding the impact of electoral campaigns, and specifically the role the mass media plays within them, on voters decision-making processes. Fourth, we compare and contrast scientific work concerning the role of political parties in shaping voters attitudes and behavior. Finally, we examine recent contributions pointing to the importance of real-world events for understanding dynamics in electoral outcomes. As might be expected for questions as broad and complex as these, while there is much we currently know, many debates are still open. The objective of this course is to weigh the available evidence both descriptive and inferential to arrive at the fullest possible understanding of the contextual forces shaping electoral behavior. Although many examples will come from the United States and Europe, we will also aim to apply the different approaches to specific developments in Switzerland. COURSE REQUIREMENTS This course is a Master level reading and discussion seminar. All students are expected to have done the required reading before each seminar, and come to class with a willingness to critically reflect on the readings. Since some of the readings may be fairly challenging at times, having multiple people contribute through class discussion and questions about difficult topics will help everyone s understanding of the material. Participating in class also demonstrates that you have done the reading. For these reasons, a grade for classroom participation will be given. Considering that we have 12 classes that will last two hours, everyone should have ample opportunity to participate. One absence during the semester upon prior notification via is granted. In this course there will be no final exam. Instead, grading is based on classroom participation (20 %), a presentation (30 %), and two response papers (50 %). The presentation should provide a short and concise summary (maximum of 15 minutes) of the week s readings, and should serve as a basis for in-class 1
2 discussion. The two response papers are meant to survey and compare the readings of the week. These written assignments should highlight the central themes and points of disagreement in the literature, and pose any potentially important but unanswered questions. Students will sign up on the first day of class for the weeks in which they will prepare a presentation, or write a response paper. The response papers should be handed in via on the Monday afternoon (3 pm at the latest) after the class in which the readings were discussed. The response papers should be between 3,000 and 4,000 words in length, and should follow the usual formatting, and citation requirements of research papers. More information on the format of the presentation and response papers will be provided during the first week of the course. Students are expected to follow the honor code of the Universié de Genève at all times, particularly with respect to issues of honesty and attribution. Instances of suspected academic misconduct will be handled strictly in line with University policy (see Art. 63 of the Loi sur l Université). REQUIRED TEXTS In a field like electoral behavior in which the topics addressed are broad, and thus defy easy summary, major contributions are, and will likely be made, in books. That is not to say that shorter academic journal articles are not important, we will read many of them, but we will also focus on several book chapters throughout this course. Articles and/or book chapter that are not available online are made available through the course website. In addition, we will read a variety of texts that are available online (see course website). Finally, please note that next to the required reading, the course schedule also entails some optional reading. These optional texts are listed to provide additional insight into the topics we address during the class, and will be crucial in preparing a presentation, or writing a response paper. 2
