| description | Despite a great flourishing of studies on election campaigns, the issue of individualized
campaigns has been widely neglected, especially from a comparative perspective. Yet, campaigns differ
not only in terms of strategy or style, but also with regard to the role played by individual candidates. This
article examines the variation of both the communicative focus and the resources used by candidates across
different Western democracies. Using data from the Comparative Candidate Surveys (CCS), it tests the
impact of several institutional and political features on campaign individualization. Our results show that
both electoral systems and the legal framework regulating electoral contests display a significant impact on
campaign individualization. |
