    Decentralization and the nationalization of party systems
    in Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy , Volume 29, Issue 2, April ,  2011 ,  244-263
    On the basis of a sample of 227 elections in seventeen Western European countries over the period 1945 – 98, we examine to what extent party systems are shaped by fiscal and political decentralization. With the exception of a few special cases, empirical evidence does not support the existence of a robust relationship between the degree of decentralization and the nationalization of party systems.
