How (European) economic integration affects domestic electoral politics? A review of the literature

French Politics volume 15, pages 371–387 (2017)Cite this article

Abstract

Studies scrutinizing the impact of economic integration on electoral politics, although flourishing, are still relatively scarce. This is surprising insofar as the effects of economic globalization and regional economic integration on domestic politics are potentially massive. This article surveys the most recent contributions and proposes a research agenda to improve, both theoretically and empirically, the existing literature on the effects of economic integration on electoral politics.
