“…In addition, at least two of these countries, despite their multiple parties, present voters with functionally dichotomous choices. In Taiwan, all of the major parties group themselves for electoral purposes into the “Blue” and “Green” coalitions (Schafferer 2003). In Mexico, Dominguez and McCann (1996) argue that the fundamental vote choice process is dichotomous, as people select either PRI or generic “opposition.” Finally, in at least two of these countries (Canada and Mexico), only the dominant, incumbent party is truly a national one.…”

Democratization and budget openness: evidence from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan

The existing literature postulates that budget openness often improves at critical moments of democratization. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, which are transitional regimes currently experiencing different regime trajectories, should be ideal places to test the validity of this theory. By examining whether and how open budget reforms in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are related to their regime trajectories through historical-comparative case studies, this article aims to make an original contribution to the comparative budgeting literature by providing a new and unique set of Open Budget Survey-based case studies in the context of East Asian transitional regimes. Points for practitionersThis article uses comparative studies of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to illustrate the politics of budget openness facing policymakers in the process of democratization. For policymakers, the lesson from the comparative studies is that the rise of competitive electoral and legislative politics will bring about pressures for open budget reforms. More policy learning is necessary for policymakers from different types of political regimes to share the experiences of handling the politics of budget openness.

“…I classified the countries' electoral systems based on two variables from the Comparative Data Set on Political Institutions by Lundell and Karvonen (2003): electoral formula and preferential voting/party lists. I augmented, checked and corroborated using other sources of information such as the data described in Golder (2005) and Alvarez-Rivera (n.d.) and some country specific sources such as Lijphart (1995) for South Africa or Schafferer (2003) for Taiwan. 13.…”

What affects candidate selection processes? A cross-national examination

Intra-party candidate selection processes are one of the prime mechanisms through which parties organize. This article seeks to examine empirically what factors account for variation in candidate selection processes. After identifying the key assertions developed in the literature, I use a unique cross-national dataset with data on the selection procedures of 512 parties in 46 countries to examine whether a party’s ideology, size, regime type, territorial organization and region affect the way parties select their legislative candidates. I pay special attention to the hypothesized relationships between electoral systems and selection processes, since the literature was indecisive and since research on the effects of institutions on legislators’ behaviour often amalgamated elections and selections. Underlying this amalgamation is an assumption that electoral systems determine candidate selection processes. I use my data to shed light on these relationships and provide a cautionary tale about amalgamating elections and selections.
