A NEW MEASURE FOR PARTY COHERENCE: APPLYING A PHYSICS-BASED CONCEPT TO THE SWISS PARTY SYSTEM

MARKUS CHRISTEN, THOMAS OTT, DANIEL SCHWARZ
2013 Advances in Complex Systems  
Our work serves as an example of how a complex systems approach allows to get a new perspective on a long-standing issue in political science.  ...  The article revives a theoretical definition of party coherence as being composed of two basic elements, cohesion and factionalism, to propose and apply a novel empirical measure based on spin physics.  ...  A fourth approach (method D) is to identify sub-groups within each party and then to apply the uni-dimensional Esteban-Ray polarization measure.  ...

Ashwin Rao, Fred Morstatter, Minda Hu, Emily Chen, Keith Burghardt, Emilio Ferrara, Kristina Lerman
2020 arXiv   pre-print
Our findings shed light on the multi-dimensional nature of polarization, and the feasibility of tracking polarized opinions about the pandemic across time and space through social media data.  ...  We analyze a large dataset of tweets related to the pandemic collected between January and May of 2020, and develop methods to classify the ideological alignment of users along the moderacy (hardline vs  ...  Inspired by this idea, we capture some of the complexity of polarization by projecting opinions in a multi-dimensional space, with different axes corresponding to different semantic dimensions.  ...

Why Are U.S. Parties So Polarized? A "Satisficing" Dynamical Model

Vicky Chuqiao Yang, Daniel M. Abrams, Georgia Kernell, Adilson E. Motter
2020 SIAM Review  
We explain this apparent contradiction by developing a dynamical model that predicts ideological positions of political parties.  ...  In particular, the model explains how polarization between the Democrats and Republicans since the 1960s could be a consequence of increasing ideological homogeneity within the parties.  ...  All authors analyzed the results and contributed to the writing of the manuscript, which was led by V.C.Y. and D.M.A. Funding This work was supported by the James S.  ...
