In this article a unique three-wave parent-youth panel study is used to examine partisanship change among native white Southerners from 1965 to 1982. The data suggest that Southerners have not moved away from the Democratic Party slowly and methodically as most cross-sectional studies suggest. Many of the respondents in the panel demonstrated substantial volatility on the party identification scale across the three panel waves.

European publics and politicians are concerned about big and growing governments. Such concern is not ill founded: Government size, measured as the ratio of government expenditures to gross domestic product, has marched upwards steadily since 1950 in the 12 European nations examined here. The present research represents an initial step toward solving the mystery of why these governments have grown. To begin, a modest theoretical framework for understanding government growth is advanced. Next, specific hypotheses of growth are fitted into the framework, and operationalized for empirical testing. Finally, statistical models to account for public sector expansion in each of the dozen nations over the 1950-1980 period are developed. The models suggest that a variety of forces have worked to enlarge European governments, with perhaps the most important being pressure for government assistance from groups disadvantaged by sour economic conditions.

This study examines why some American states experience more competitive gubernatorial and senatorial primaries than others. A number of possible explanatory variables are isolated and related to state primary divisiveness. Multiple regression results reveal that the level of primary competition in a state's gubernatorial and senatorial contests is to a large degree determined by five factors: how often incumbents seek reelection; the partisan balance of the state; whether the party organization endorses primary candidates; whether the states holds a blanket primary; and the state's population.
