In: Scandinavian political studies: SPS ; a journal, Heft 9, S. 205-218

Abstract

THE THREE SCANDINAVIAN ELECTIONS IN THE AUTUMN OF 1973 OFFER EXCITING DATA FOR COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF EVIDENCE OF A WIDESPREAD "DEFREEZING" OF THE ALIGNMENT STRUCTURES OF THE FIFTIES AND EARLY SIXTIES AND OF INCREASING VOLATILITY WITH IN NATIONAL ELECTORATES. WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW IS HOW FAR THE EEC WAS AN ISSUE IN ITS OWN RIGHT.
