The Neighbourhood Effect: A Test of the Butler-Stokes Model

A. R. Bodman

British Journal of Political Science, 1983, vol. 13, issue 2, 243-249

Abstract: The purpose of this brief note has been to test the behavioural postulates of the neighbourhood effect. The results do not support the construction that minority voters are converted to the majority view by local information flows. These findings suggest the model of the neighbourhood effect needs to be amended and that alternative explanations of the polarization trends need to be examined more closely.
