“…Richard Johnston (1988: 59) observes that “the very idea of ideology presupposes a hierarchy of ideas.” Ideologies emerge from core ideas that people consult when they develop their opinions about issues. One of these ideas, certainly, is the prescriptive belief in human equality (Bobbio, 1996).…”

“… 4 Even so, the results are contingent on the decisions of researchers about which variables to include in their analyses. As Johnston (1988: 65) points out, “factor analysis is imprisoned by the measures with which it begins.”…”

“…The traditional “brokerage” model of Canadian politics leaves little room for ideology: ideology is procrustean and brokerage is pragmatic (Bickerton and Gagnon, 2004; Brodie and Jenson, 1996; Clarke et al, 1996; Johnston, 1988; Mallory, 1984). 1 This brokerage account is increasingly hard to reconcile with growing bodies of empirical evidence (Carty et al, 2000).…”

“…2 Yet, knowing that economic and social values are connected to the left/right continuum is not the same as knowing whether these values are connected to each other. Indeed, the concept of ideology refers to the interconnections, the “constraints,” which bind opinions about multiple issues into coherent bundles of political viewpoints (Converse, 1964: 252; Johnston, 1988: 58). On this front, existing studies of ideological disagreement are often bound by the important assumption that leftists and rightists organize their thoughts into symmetrical bundles of opposing opinions about identical sets of political issues (Cross and Young, 2002; Laponce, 1981; Nevitte and Cochrane, 2007; but see Conover and Feldman, 1981; Johnston, 1988).…”

Abstract. This article examines the influence of ideology in Canadian politics. The core theory is that political opinions are bound together into ideological clusters by underlying influences that affect simultaneously the opinions of individuals about more than one issue. The central hypothesis is that ideological disagreement between the left and the right is asymmetrical, that is, that leftists and rightists bundle in different ways their opinions about issues. The analysis draws on evidence from Benoit and Laver's survey of experts (2006) about the policy positions of political parties, the Comparative Manifesto Research Project (Budge et al., 2001; Klingemann et al., 2006), and Cross and Young's survey of Canadian political party members (2002). The results of the analysis indicate, first, that Canada's left/right ideological divide is wide by cross-national standards, and, second, that leftists and rightists organize their opinions about the world in different ways.Résumé. Cet article examine l'influence des idéologies dans l'environnement politique canadien. La théorie centrale stipule que les opinions politiques sur diverses questions sont structurées en groupes idéologiques consolidés par des influences sous-jacentes qui affectent simultanément les opinions des individus. L'hypothèse principale découlant de cette théorie est que la structure du désaccord idéologique entre la gauche et la droite est asymétrique; plus précisément, que les individus situés à la gauche et à la droite du spectre politique canadien organisent de manière différente leurs opinions politiques. L'analyse s'appuie tout d'abord sur les données d'un sondage auprès d'experts politiques réalisé par Benoit et Laver (2006) et portant sur les positions politiques des partis. Elle utilise également les données du Comparative Manifesto Research Project (Budge et al. 2001; Klingemann et al., 2006) et celles d'un sondage d'opinion de Cross et Young (2002) effectué auprès des membres de partis politiques canadiens. Les résultats de cette étude démontrent, en premier lieu, qu'il existe un clivage important entre la droite et la gauche au Canada même lorsqu'il est observé dans une perspective comparative, et en second lieu, que les individus se situant à la gauche et à la droite du spectre politique ont tendance à organiser de manière différente leurs opinions sur le monde.

Henry Brady's career is a testament to the virtues of big social science—big questions, big datasets, big toolkits, big institutions. While much of political science still functions as a cottage industry, he has played a leading role in the second generation of our discipline's post-war industrial revolution. Building on the varied contributions of such earlier stalwarts as Warren Miller, David Truman, Gabriel Almond, and Paul Lazarsfeld, Brady has contributed significantly to the theoretical, empirical, methodological, and institutional development of the field. With intelligence, energy, and good will, he has instigated and nurtured a remarkable variety of projects, partnerships, and programs to advance our understanding of important political phenomena.

This paper conducts an empirical analysis of the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and political beliefs in the United States. By analyzing the 2004 presidential election results of communities in which corporate headquarters are located, we establish a correlation between the political beliefs of corporate stakeholders and the CSR ratings of their firms. Companies with a high CSR rating tend to be located in Democratic, or "blue" states and counties, while companies with a low CSR rating tend to be located in Republican, or "red" states and counties.
