5 Acknowledgements This book is based on my doctoral thesis entitled The impact of cleavages in a longitudinal and contextual perspective which I defended at the Geneva School of Social Sciences at the University of Geneva in November During the preparation of this publication, I received valuable comments and support from various persons and institutions, which I would like to thank. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Pascal Sciarini for his continuous support since the start of my doctoral studies. He has always been very generous with his time and has given me precious advice to develop the original outline of the project into this final version. I would also like to thank the other members of my jury Simon Hug, Mark Franklin and Hanspeter Kriesi for the lively discussion during the defence and the very helpful comments they provided me with. A special thanks in this context goes to Simon Hug for his statistical advices throughout the last years. My doctoral project was a cooperation between the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Geneva and the Swiss Electoral Studies based at FORS in Lausanne. Although the collaboration with the Swiss Electoral Studies, especially following the 2011 Swiss national elections, meant a lot of work, I really enjoyed working in our team. Under the leadership of Georg Lutz, I learned a lot about the data basis I used for this publication. I would also like to thank my SELECTS colleagues Nicolas Pekari, Thomi de Rocchi, Robert Baur and Reto Wattenhofer for our meetings and inspiring discussions. During the last years, I also had the chance to meet several scholars working on similar topics who provided valuable feedback and assistance with occurring problems. Here, I want to mention especially Daniel Oesch, Romain Lachat, Line Rennwald and Nathalie Giger. I further want to thank the colleagues at the University of Geneva for the nice and stimulating working atmosphere. For proofreading the book, my thanks go to Colleen Tait and Monique Beerli, who kindly agreed to read parts or even the whole manuscript. Last but not least, I want to thank my family and friends who supported me during my research project. For the financial funding, I gratefully acknowledge the support by the Swiss National Science Foundation (Grant Nr 10FI ). v
