The question of whether increased electoral turnout would make a difference has long been a matter of interest to psephologists and laymen alike. Several approaches to this question have been employed, one of which has been an analysis of responses to survey questions about how non-voters would have voted had they actually voted. The problem with this approach is not only that it involves responses to a hypothetical question, but also that the responses are given after the election outcome is known and hence are subject to the impact of various post-election effects - 'bandwagon effects' in particular. In the present article an alternative approach based on an analysis of party sympathy scores is pursued. Party sympathy scores are calculated among voters and non-voters alike. On the basis of this information, an algorithm is then used to estimate what percentage of potential voters were 'lost' by the failure of different parties to mobilize non-voters with sympathy scores comparable to their voters, and thereby assess the impact of non-voting on the election outcome. Analyses are carried out using data from six national parliamentary elections held in Norway in the period from 1981 to 2001. Results indicate that the impact of higher levels of turnout is marginal at best. [Copyright 2006 Elsevier Ltd.]

Donald Trump's 2016 successful electoral bid came as a surprise both to the public and pundits. Soon after the upset election, conventional wisdom settled on an explanation: that Trump's victory was linked to Americans that felt left behind by globalization and the current political establishment. Conventional wisdom provided quick and straightforward answers. Nevertheless, these answers were incomplete. Chief among the missing elements of the improvised explanation was the radicalization of the Republican party. To fully understand how the transformation of the Republican Party resulted in President Trump's election and his foreign policy, this article will analyze the case through constructivist lenses. According to this perspective, identity plays a crucial role in both domestic and international politics. By providing an analysis of American identity and especially of the identity of the Republican Party, constructivism provides useful knowledge in the interpretation of both Trump's election and his administration's foreign policy. We argue that what really explains Trump victory in the electoral college in the November 2016 electoral process (he lost the popular vote by about three million votes) are ideational, identity-related factors—not his personality or the globalization-related arguments conventional wisdom focuses on. ; La exitosa candidatura electoral de Donald Trump en 2016 fue una sorpresa tanto para el público como para los grupos expertos. Poco después de la inesperada elección, la sabiduría popular se decidió por una explicación: que la victoria de Trump estaba vinculada a los estadounidenses que se sentían rezagados por la globalización. La sabiduría popular proporcionó respuestas rápidas y directas, lo que la hicieron ganar tracción tanto en la prensa como en las redes sociales y la bibliografía especializada. Sin embargo, estas respuestas eran incompletas. El principal de los elementos que faltaban en la explicación improvisada era la radicalización del partido republicano. Para comprender ...
