Half a Century of Cross‐pressures: a Thesis Reconsidered

Sten Sparre Nilson

Political Studies, 2002, vol. 50, issue 2, 354-361

Abstract: Cross‐pressure was introduced as a concept in political analysis half a century ago. While different forms of political cross‐pressure have been noted, they are generally considered to have the effect of making citizens withdraw from politics. However, this conclusion is not always supported by data. A modified proposition is suggested in order to account for other reactions to cross‐ pressure that have been registered from time to time.
