“…The fine line between left and right in the Swiss case is further obscured by a permanent party coalition and a rather unique brand of elite accommodation (cf. Steiner, 1974;McRae, 1974;Daalder, 197 1 ;Buser, 1969;Erard, 1966;Girod, 1964). Collective bargaining issues are largely worked out and compromised within the cabinet.…”

The accent on status‐anxiety factors which shape ideologies and political directions has emerged as a popular, but relatively speculative and untested, theme in contemporary political analysis. This article traces the evolution of the “status politics” theme, from its essayist interpretations of American right‐wing radicalism to comparative applications in other Western industrialized societies. The task is to make more organized sense of this theme and to submit several derivative statements to a systematic empirical test. The results are based on a secondary analysis of Lausanne survey data and the preliminary findings of a recent nation‐wide survey of the Swiss general electorate. The Lausanne results indicate that emotive dissatisfaction with personal status failures and felt aspiration—achievement discrepancies, especially among occupational skidders and immobile respondents, are among the more influential status‐anxiety factors associated with classical conservative ideology. The national survey results point to other related status insecurities and dissatisfactions which distinguish ultraconservative National Action and Republican party supporters from other party supporters in the Swiss general electorate. These results lend some comparative weight to the status politics explanation.

“…A Swiss political scientist (Girod, 1964: 1122) has pointed out that: &dquo;The public sees its governors more as conscientious public administrators (which, it must be admitted, they really are) than as hommes politiques, and even less as hommes de parti.

ode~rn politics is intimately linked to the politics of party systems. Ever since political parties made their appearance in the nineteenth century, most of the significant mass political activity in Western countries has been aimed at influencing the party system in some way: getting into it, getting control of it, maintaining it, overthrowing it, or replacing it. It is not surprising, therefore, that the modern study of party systems has been intimately linked to the study of democratic political stability and conflict resolution. The range qf the recent literature on party systems is extraordinarily wide. It includes the historical model-building effort of Lipset and Rokkan (1967), andDahl's (1966) broad comparative generalizations about oppositions. It encompasses the cross-national studies of Rose and Urwin (1970, 1969) and Blondel (1968), as well as the &dquo;theoretical case study&dquo; of Harry Eckstein (1966). Of even greater interest, in the context of this article, is the growing body of literature which examines the relations between party systems, social cleavages, elite behavior, and political stability in a particular type of political system

“…die Regel der Wiederkandidatur der bisherigen Mitglieder erleichtern die Beibehaltung der bestehenden Zusammensetzung". Sowohl die neueren Studien von Moser (1988), Felder (1993) und Weibel (1996 als auch die älteren Untersuchungen von Girod (1964), Dominicé (1968) und Krebs (1968) stützen sich bei ihren Ergebnissen allerdings weder auf vertiefte statistische Analysen, noch orientieren sie sich an den Erkenntnissen der international-vergleichenden Regierungslehre. Mit dem Einbezug der bestehenden Theorien zur Regierungsstabilität und einer systematischen empirischen Analyse soll im folgenden versucht werden, die vorhandenen Forschungsdefizite zu reduzieren und klärende Antworten auf diese umstrittene Frage zu geben.…”

Konstanz und Konkordanz. Die Stabilität kantonaler Regierungen im Vergleich

Die Instabilität kantonaler Regierungszusammensetzungen im Sinne wechselnder Parteienkoalitionen hat seit der Einführung der Volkswahl einen neuen Höhepunkt erreicht. Gleichzeitig finden sich in der Nachkriegszeit frappante Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Ständen, die sich gegen Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts noch akzentuiert haben. Der vorliegende Artikel versucht, die verschiedenen Determinanten zur Erklä-rung der unterschiedlichen parteipolitischen Regierungsstabilität in den "präsidentiellen" Konkordanzsystemen der Kantone theoretisch herzuleiten und empirisch zu überprüfen. Die empirischen Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass die Ursachen für die unterschiedliche Stabilität der parteipolitischen Zusammensetzungen kantonaler Exekutiven nicht etwa mit dem Typ des Wahlsystems oder spezifischen Regierungsmerkmalen zusammenhängen, sondern vielmehr mit dem Grad elektoraler Kompetition und damit mit den Kooperationsstrategien der Regierungsparteien sowie -in weit schwächerer Form -mit dem Fragmentierungsgrad des Parteiensystems.
