Abstract

In this chapter, the impact of the whole conflict model comprising both social structure and value orientations and the relationship between their impacts on party choice is examined. Central in the empirical analysis is the degree to which value orientations are mediating in the relationship between social structure and party choice. A major finding in this chapter is that the whole conflict model has a large explanatory power on party choice. Without any controls, value orientations have larger explanatory power than social structure. This changes significantly when the socio-structural variables are considered prior to value orientations in a causal sense. Social structure then has largest explanatory power. A large portion of the impact of social structure is mediated via value orientations.
