External shocks and party positions

Abstract

Politische Parteien passen regelmäßig ihre Positionen an, um in einem sich ständig wandelnden Umfeld konkurrenzfähig zu bleiben. Diese Veränderungen können durch eine Reihe von Gründen herbeigeführt werden: schwache Wahlergebnisse, einen Wandel in der öffentlichen Meinung, einen neuen Parteivorsitz, durch eine Veränderung in wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen, oder andere äußere Faktoren. Diese Masterarbeit untersucht anhand der sozialdemokratischen Parteienfamilie, ob die ökomomischen Krisen in Europa eine systematische Positionsveränderung bei wirtschaftlichen Themen herbeiführten. Untersucht werden sowohl Expertenmeinungen der Parteipositionen entlang der ökonomischen Links-Rechts Achse als auch die Wahlprogramme der Parteien, um ein komplettes Bild der Veränderung zu erhalten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Banken-, Staatsschulden- und Wachstumskrise in Europa keine einheitliche Veränderung der sozialdemokratischen Parteien in Europa hervorbrachte.

Political parties regularly adapt their positions in order to remain competitive in changing political landscapes. Various reasons for change have been analyzed in the past: disappointing electoral results, a shift in public opinion, new leadership, changing economic circumstances or other external effects. This thesis, focusing on the social democratic party family, investigates whether the economic crises in Europe caused European parties to adapt their economic policy positions. Expert judgements of party positions along the economic left-right scale as well as party manifestos act as data sources, allowing a comprehensive picture of parties' reactions. The results show that the banking, sovereign debt and growth crisis in Europe did not lead to uniform reactions among the European social democratic party family.
