  • Pillars and Electoral Behavior in Belgium: The neighborhood effect revisited
    Political Geography, 2011
    Co-Authors: Quentin David, Gilles Van Hamme
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper explores the processes behind the neighborhood effect in Electoral geography. Studies on neighborhood effect have largely ignored the local institutions and cultural milieu within which people are socialized. By taking into account the spatially differentiated social embedding of individuals, we are able to highlight the impact of local institutions on Electoral Behavior and restore the temporal dimension that has shaped the political specificities of places. In the case of Belgium, we show that social embedding (which took the very accomplished form of pillars) affects voting Behavior through two different channels: a direct effect, coming from the family transmission of pillar values, and a contextual effect captured by a measure of the local embeddedness of the pillar.

  • Pillars and Electoral Behavior in Belgium: The neighborhood effect revisited
    2010
    Co-Authors: Quentin David, Gilles Van Hamme
    Abstract:

    This paper explores the processes behind the neighborhood effect in Electoral geography. Studies on neighborhood effect have largely ignored the local institutions and cultural milieu within which people are socialized. By taking into account the spatially differentiated social supervision of individuals, we are able to highlight the impact of local institutions on Electoral Behavior and restore the temporal dimension that has shaped the political specificities of places. In the case of Belgium, we show that social supervision (which took the very accomplished form of pillars) affects voting Behavior through two different channels: a direct effect, coming from the family transmission of pillar values, and a contextual effect captured by a measure of the local embeddedness of the pillar.
