{"product_id":"9781907301506","title":"The Nordic Voter: Myths of Exceptionalism","description":"THE NORDIC VOTER is the first book-length comparative analysis of voting behavior in the five Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. In this book, leading scholars of the national teams of election studies presents a detailed account of voter turnout, party identification, satisfaction with democracy, preferential voting, government support and party choice in the Nordic countries. The five nation study is based on a comparative data set prepared uniquely for this book project that allow for a comprehensive analysis of the diversity in voting behaviour within the Nordic countries as well as the discrepancies between Nordic and non-Nordic countries. \u003cp\u003eThe book challenges a widespread practice to group the Nordic countries together in comparative analyses. The general claim, substantiated by a unique and extensive empirical analysis of voter behaviour, is that the dissimilarities between the Nordic countries are in fact so large - both in terms of institutional settings and micro level voting behaviour - that it is not justified to make general claims of a Nordic voter. In other words, the old story of 'remarkable similarities' will be substituted with numerous examples of 'remarkable dissimilarities' between the Nordic countries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ECPR Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043829760240,"sku":"9781907301506","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907301506_p0.jpg?v=1763619078","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907301506","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
