Elective Geography
Electoral geography refers to the analysis of the spatial pattern of the voting behavior of a population , taking into account the geographic conditions there.
history
In 1913 the Frenchman André Siegfried (1875–1959) published the first classic study on electoral geography called " Tableau politique de la France de l'est sous la Troisième Republique ". In it, he identified various factors that influenced voting behavior , such as the quality of the soil, which in high-yield areas led to rich landowners , who for the most part voted conservatively .
Elective geography was introduced in Germany by the sociologists Rudolf Heberle (1896–1991) and Ferdinand Tönnies (1855–1936). Heberle described the connection between the radical change in voting preference between 1919 and 1932 in Schleswig-Holstein, and especially on the island of Maasholm, of mostly left-wing parties to the NSDAP and the vulnerability of the poor local population ( farmers and fishermen ) to crises . Heberle later also demonstrated such a connection between susceptibility to crises and the election of system-changing parties for the USA .
