“…Boycotts punish businesses for unfavorable behavior by withholding demand, while "buycotts" reward companies for favorable behavior via increased demand (Bennett and Entman 2001;Nielson 2010;Shah et al 2007). Large segments of the American public report that they engage in boycotts and buycotts (Endres and Panagopoulos 2017;Newman and Bartels 2011), and this phenomenon is common in Western Europe (Ferrer-Fons and Fraile 2014), the Middle East (Benstead and Reif 2015), and Latin America (Echegaray 2015). Although by no means new (Micheletti, Follesda, and Stolle 2004), this form of consumerism is a manifestation of what Bennett (1998) terms "lifestyle politics" and arguably reflects the growing tendency to find political meaning in recreational experiences, fashion decisions, and other personal choices (Shah et al 2007, 219).…”

To what extent do consumers' preferences change when they learn about firms' partisan allegiances? We address this question by conducting a series of experiments in which Democrats and Republicans were presented with factual information about corporate political donations. Outcomes were measured through expressed shopping intentions as well as a revealed consumer preference. Respondents became significantly more (less) likely to patronize chains that support (oppose) their party. The effects are found for both convenience samples and representative national samples and when information is conveyed in the context of a survey or unobtrusively via direct mail. Effects are especially large among those with strong partisan attachments. We conclude by arguing that the potential for partisan consumerism has risen with the advent of social media but may be undermined by a campaign finance system that increasingly allows for undisclosed corporate donations.

Political consumerism, which is the act of making choices between producers and products based on a series of criteria such as social, political, and ethical, is the basic concept of this study. Starting from this point of view, the political consumerism behavior of the Turkish consumer constitutes the subject of this study. The main aim of the study in this direction is; to identify the political consumerism of the Turkish consumer and determine the factors that affect this. A questionnaire study has been conducted in 12 statistical regions in TR level 1 to test hypotheses generated within the framework of the research model. The analysis of the 672 questionnaires obtained by the questionnaire application has benefited from principal component analysis, regression analysis, and multinomial logistic regression analysis. SPSS and STATA programs have been used to perform these analyses. Considering the results obtained; It was determined that there is a positive relationship between political consumerism and income, education, nontraditional participation, institutional trust, generalized trust, postmaterialist values, and a negative relationship with the socialization variable. On the other hand, no statistically significant relationship has been ascertained between gender, age, political opinion, and corporate participation variables and political consumerism.

“…Second and relatedly, voting is not only a question of being informed about political realities but also a question of being interested or psychologically engaged 17 . As such, citizens who actively follow politics should have a higher likelihood to vote.…”

Through a panel analysis conducted in Bavaria, which covers two adjacent elections – the federal elections and the European elections in 2013 and 2014 – we examine the attitudinal factors that drive citizens’ propensity to turn out. We find that abstainers have generally low levels of knowledge, interest and sense of civic duty. National-level voters have relatively high interest, knowledge and sense of duty in national politics, but not in European affairs. In contrast, European- and national-level voters have high interest, knowledge and a sense of duty for both national and European politics. This finding contextualizes the characterization of European elections as second-order national elections. While prior research has established that voters make their vote choice based on national-level politics, we demonstrate that European elections are not national elections when it comes to citizens’ decision to vote. Rather, knowledge, interest and a sense of duty about national politics are not sufficient conditions for somebody to vote in the European elections. The person needs to have the same positive attitudes about European affairs as they have about national politics to participate in European elections.
