The growing importance of multiple electoral arenas\u003cbr\u003esuggests that scholars should be cautious about examining single levels in isolation. Taking the multilevel structure of electoral politics seriously requires a re-examination of how the incentives created by electoral institutions affect the behaviour of voters and party elites. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe standard approach to analysing multilevel elections is the second-order election (SOE) model, in which national elections are considered to be first-order elections while other elections are second order. However, this model does not provide micro mechanisms that determine how elections in one\u003cbr\u003earena affect those in another, or explain variations in individual voting behaviour. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe objective of this book is to explain how party and voter behaviour in a given election is affected by the existence of multiple electoral arenas. It provides original qualitative and quantitative data to examine European, national, and subnational elections in France, Germany, and Spain from\u003cbr\u003e2011-2015. The volume examines party mobilization efforts across multiple electoral arenas, as well as decisions by individual voters with respect to turnout, strategic voting, and accountability. This book provides the first systematic analysis of multilevel electoral politics at three different\u003cbr\u003elevels across multiple countries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e Comparative Politics\u003c\/em\u003e is a series for researchers, teachers, and students of political science that deals with contemporary government and politics.
