The Social Democracy of Ideopolises A French Illustration of the Changing Social-Democratic Coalition in Western Europe

چکیده
Focused on the French case, this paper aims at investigating a geographical change of electoral support, which is part of wider transformations of the electoral base of the Socialist Party, in particular the trend of working class dealignment. While a specific sociology emerged in “ideopolises”, anchored in the post-industrial and knowledge-based economy, a shift of the traditional socialist electoral support occurred in those cities (but not for all types of elections). We argue that this dynamic has been particularly pronounced in 2007. Paper presented at the APSA Annual Meeting Seattle, August 31-September 4, 2011 SC.
