“…Kroh and Selb (2009) Not only the age of political novices may affect growth trajectories in party identification, but also the type of experiences people have during the formative period of young adulthood. A large body of literature suggests that the experience of an autocratic past in Eastern Europe, for instance, has lasting consequences for party identifications in these societies today (Dalton and Buerklin, 1996;Brader and Tucker, 2001;Miller and Klobucar, 2000;Neundorf, 2010). These studies thus reinforce the idea that early impressions have a lasting effect on political orientations of individuals (Mannheim, 1928;Inglehart, 1971;Broek, 1999;Watts, 1999).…”

“…This indicates that at this time personalistic ties were not the most critical factors in party identification or selection, which is somewhat surprising given the later work of Miller, Reisinger, and Hesli (1997). 18 The more important variable for these countries is the effect of categorizing oneself as "Soviet."…”

The political science literature reflects two viewpoints regarding the formation of party systems in post‐Soviet societies. Scholars drawing on traditional theories of party formation usually argue that the formation of institutionalized party systems in post‐Communist states will be an extended process. However, newer studies reveal that parties, partisan support, and even party systems may form relatively quickly.To illuminate this debate, we offer analysis of both mass and elite cross‐temporal data from Russia, Ukraine, and Lithuania. These data reveal a rapid rise in partisanship, strong partisan voting in parliamentary elections, a sharp differentiation on issues between members of various party blocs, a high degree of issue cohesion among those who identify with a given party, and a strong correlation between the policy views of elites and ordinary citizens identifying with the same party. In short, the evidence strongly supports the conclusion that party systems are developing in the post‐Soviet societies.

“…For instance, in democratic Russia and East Europe, all but the communist successor parties were new, as was the concept of partisan identification itself (Brader and Tucker 2001;Miller and Klobucar 2000). Voters in these systems should be the most vulnerable to persuasive campaign messages because i and i are relatively low.…”

Despite ample evidence of preelection volatility in vote intentions in new democracies, scholars of comparative politics remain skeptical that campaigns affect election outcomes. Research on the United States provides a theoretical rationale for campaign effects, but shows little of it in practice in presidential elections because candidates' media investments are about equal and voters' accumulated political knowledge and partisan attachments make them resistant to persuasive messages. I vary these parameters by examining a new democracy where voters' weaker partisan attachments and lower levels of political information magnify the effects of candidates' asymmetric media investments to create large persuasion effects. The findings have implications for the generalizability of campaign effects theory to new democracies, the development of mass partisanship, candidate advertising strategies, and the specific outcome of Mexico's hotly contested 2006 presidential election. Data come primarily from the Mexico 2006 Panel Study.
