“…The end of the cold war and the reintroduction of electoral democracy in the former Soviet republics and former Warsaw pact countries ensure the availability of a new supply of interesting election returns for geographers to analyse and interpret. Two recent studies, one focusing on the 1990 parliamentary election in Hungary (Martis et al, 1992) and the other on the 1990 parliamentary elections in Poland (Parysek et al, 1991), are no doubt just the first in a stream of many such studies. As a field of enquiry within political geography, however, electoral geography continues to have little in common with the parent discipline, either theoretically or methodologically.…”

As in last year's report, I abandon any pretence at writing a comprehensive report on progress made in the field of political geography during the past year or so and proceed instead to review recent research relevant to political geography which has self-consciously attempted to draw upon or respond to challenges in social theory. Emphasis is placed on assessing the contribution work along these lines has made in enhancing the internal theoretical coherence of the field as a whole and to the creation of substantial bodies of empirical/historical work informed by, and informing, evolving theory. By internal coherence I most emphatically do not mean theoretical or conceptual orthodoxy; indeed I subscribe to the view that progress in any field is dialectical, rather than incremental or linear, and hence requires disagreement in an overarching discourse. The first sign of progress in a field then is the recognition by its members of what it is that they disagree about.

“…First, the constituency system provides data that easily demonstrate spatial variation. There is also periodic attention to historical cases (Flint, 2001;O'Loughlin et al, 1994), and elections outside Europe and the Anglo-American core (Clem, 2006;Fox & Lemon, 2000;Hsu, 2009;Martis, Kovacs, Kovacs, & Peter, 1992;Osei-Kwame & Taylor, 1984;Perepechko, Kolossov, & ZumBrunnen, 2007;Vilalta y Perdomo, 2004). Nonetheless, the collection edited by Warf and Leib (2011) includes case studies from Europe and Asia in addition to those of the UK and USA.…”

Electoral geography: From mapping votes to representing power

In some ways, electoral geography has never been more popular. From the detailed, online maps of the Brexit vote to discussions of the electoral college versus the popular vote in the 2016 Trump–Clinton U.S. presidential contest, the relationships among geography, voting, and political power have seldom been more visible. The popularity of electoral geography in social and news media, however, does not necessarily reflect its presence in scholarly discussions, and indeed, in some ways, the former has replaced the latter. Digital technology and the burgeoning availability of electronic data mean that it is easier than ever to create maps of votes, often in near real time. Yet the academic field of electoral geography encompasses more than just mapping votes, including the study of election campaigns, political parties, electoral systems, and gerrymandering. The 3 major approaches are the geography of voting (mapping and visualizing votes), geographic influences on voting (the effect of place on political preferences and behavior), and the geography of representation (the analysis of electoral systems). Indeed, the structure of the electoral system, including gerrymandering, is often the key to understanding how political and racial/ethnic minorities can (or cannot) wield power and influence. This article examines each approach after a brief review of the historical origins of the subfield.

“…Az angolszász mintaterületek mellett a posztszocialista térségben is számos választási földrajzi tanulmány született 1990 után (Leib-Quinton 2011). A rendszerváltozást követő átalakulások összetett leíró választási földrajzi elemzésén (Martis et al 1992, Kovács 1993, Jehlicka et al 1993, Kovács-Dingsdale 1998, a pártok társadalmi beágyazottságának vizsgálatán (Mészáros et al 2007, Regt et al 2011, Martin 2015) és a nemzeti kisebbségek választási magatartásán (Szabó-Tátrai 2011) át széles a témakör szakirodalma. Megállapítható azonban, hogy a választási rendszerek és a választókerületi beosztások konkrét földrajzi torzulásaival kevésbé foglalkoztak a posztszocialista országokban, így hazánkban is.…”
