Policy convergence in a two-candidate probabilistic voting model
I propose a generalization of the probabilistic voting model in two-candidate elections. Unlike in all previous works, I assume that the candidates have general von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions defined over the voting outcomes. For a finite number of voters, I derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a local Nash equilibrium in which the policy platforms of the c...
متن کاملNegative Campaigning: Polemics against Brahmins in a Buddhist Sutta
This paper takes a close look at the ways Brahmins are portrayed in one sutta of the Pāli canon that explains the ‘five ancient principles of Brahmins that today are seen in dogs, but not in Brahmins’. The paper analyses the method of comparing Brahmins with dogs and discusses the rhetorical purpose of this comparison by juxtaposing the respective statements with data from Brāhmaṇical law texts...
متن کاملNegative Campaigning and the Logic of Retaliation in Multiparty Competition
The extant literature has demonstrated that the logic of retaliation is a core feature of negative campaigning. Attacks by one side induce counterattacks by the other. Yet most research on the interactive nature of negative campaigning is limited to two-party competition and provides little theoretical justification for why political actors should respond to attacks with counterattacks.

متن کاملGender Differences in Negative Campaigning: The Impact of Party Environments
We explore whether men and women differ in their attack behavior and how party environments condition these differences. Whereas the literature on gender and negative campaigning is almost exclusively focused on the United States, we theorize that in European multiparty systems with strong and cohesive parties, the party environment has a significant impact on whether male and female politician...
متن کاملProbabilistic Borda rule voting
An alternative voting system, referred to as probabilistic Borda rule, is developed and analyzed. The winning alternative under this system is chosen by lottery where the weights are determined from each alternative’s Borda score relative to all Borda points possible. Advantages of the lottery include the elimination of strategic voting on the set of alternatives under consideration and breakin...
