Title: Class Voting in Western Europe
Description: "Class Voting in Western Europe provides a rare, systematic, longitudinal, and cross-national study of social class and party choice in eight democratic Western European countries: Belgium, Britain, Denmark, France, (West) Germany, Ireland, Italy, and the Netherlands. This work is based on data from the Eurobarometer surveys, conducted from 1975 to 1997. Class Voting in Western Europe outlines the theories of changes in social class and party choice and provides an empirical analysis of class voting. This study differentiates between traditional class voting, total class voting, and overall left-right voting. Knutsen's study provides a new, straightforward understanding of social class and party choice for anyone interested in the complex relationship between modern society and politics."--Jacket.
