Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper represents one small piece of a larger project that attempts to unpack the issues of political nationalization and its implications, as well as place the nationalization literature within a broader discussion of electoral forces – including electoral volatility and local voting. We begin the paper with a more thorough discussion of the static and dynamic conceptions of nationalization. In this section, we define in detail both conceptions of party nationalization and discuss the relationship between the two. There we also provide a brief overview of some of the presumed effects of nationalization as a means of motivating the importance of nationalization as an agenda for research. In section two we discuss the various measures of nationalization that are currently in use and provide a discussion of our alternative. We also provide an initial empirical overview of our data and compare it to that of previous work. Then, before concluding in party four, part three of the paper turns to the empirical testing of our hypotheses.
