Dans un contexte de déconnexion croissante entre les professionnels de la politique et les citoyens, de bouleversements de l'offre et de déprise des partis traditionnels, les ancrages locaux des électeurs sont réputés ne plus peser. Pourtant, comment expliquer la forte polarisation socio-spatiale des conduites politiques dans la France contemporaine ? À rebours des thèses individualistes qui désocialisent les électeurs, cet ouvrage interroge les dynamiques résidentielles de la socialisation politique. La spatialisation des problèmes sociaux comme l'accroissement des inégalités territoriales sont désormais bien documentés, mais une sociologie fine de leurs implications politiques reste à faire. Tel est le chantier auquel contribue cet ouvrage, à travers une analyse fine des quartiers, milieux sociaux et groupes ethno-raciaux qui composent le 18e arrondissement de Paris.

This pathbreaking work integrates African countries into broader comparative theories of how spatial inequality shapes political competition over the construction of markets, states, and nations. Existing literature on African countries has found economic cleavages, institutions, and policy choices to be of low salience in national politics. This book inverts these arguments. Boone trains our analytic focus on the spatial inequalities and territorial institutions that structure national politics in Africa, showing that regional cleavages find expression in both electoral competition and policy struggles over redistribution, sectoral investment, market integration, and state design. Leveraging comparative politics theory, Boone argues that African countries' regional and core-periphery tensions are similar to those that have shaped national economic integration in other parts of the world. Bringing together electoral and economic geography, the book offers a new and powerful map of political competition on the African continent.

Wahman focuses on the political geography of election violence in Africa, particularly in Zambia and Malawi, building on one important observation: elections in many African countries are highly regional and the support for political parties are rarely nationalised.

The national electoral map has split into warring regional bastions of Republican red and Democratic blue, producing a deep and enduring partisan divide in American politics. In Red Fighting Blue, David A. Hopkins places the current partisan and electoral era in historical context, explains how the increased salience of social issues since the 1980s has redefined the parties' geographic bases of support, and reveals the critical role that American political institutions play in intermediating between the behavior of citizens and the outcome of public policy-making. The widening geographic gap in voters' partisan preferences, as magnified further by winner-take-all electoral rules, has rendered most of the nation safe territory for either Democratic or Republican candidates in both presidential and congressional elections - with significant consequences for party competition, candidate strategy, and the operation of government.
