Wähler unterscheiden sich darin, wie sie politische Entscheidungen treffen - manche Menschen denken sehr sorgfältig nach und wägen das Pro und Contra politischer Sachfragen ab, andere hingegen verlassen sich lieber auf einfache Faustregeln, wie beispielsweise langfristige Parteibindungen, um Wahlentscheidungen zu fällen. Doch wann machen sich Wähler die Mühe, einen aufwändigen und "rationalen" Entscheidungsprozess zu durchlaufen und wann stützen sie sich eher auf simple Heuristiken? In zwei Experimenten geht Alexander Glantz der Frage nach, welchen Einfluss politische Involviertheit, Persönlichkeitsmerkmale und Parteistereotype auf die Auswahl von Entscheidungsstrategien haben. Dabei kommt mit dem Process-Tracing eine neuartige Methode zum Einsatz, die es ermöglicht, das Entscheidungsverhalten von Wählern genauer als bisher zu analysieren.

"Sheds light on the complex interplay between cities and the EU, both how cities engage with the EU and how the EU engages with cities. In particular, the book considers how EU policies and programmes are acting as a driving force for urban change, and what motivates cities to be present on the EU stage. Furthermore, it addresses the roles of cities in the process of European integration (e.g., social policy). This book explores different approaches (mainly institutionalist concepts) to understand the Europeanization of cities and gives empirical evidence for chanfges on the local level (e.g., Budapest, Amsterdam, Vienna, Birmingham), related to the process of European integration and to the extension of networks between European cities."--P.
