FREIRE, André  y  BAUM, Michael. Clivagens, economia e voto em portugal, 1999: uma análise das eleições parlamentares com dados agregados. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2001, n.37, pp.115-140. ISSN 0873-6529.

This paper offers a comparative analysis of the 1995 and 1999 Portuguese general elections. Using aggregate data analysis techniques (N = 275 council areas in mainland Portugal), the authors test and compare the impact of both social (cleavages) and economic factors on Portuguese electoral behaviour (participation/abstention and voting decisions) in the two elections. Before doing so they also cast an analytical eye over the election campaign and the political backdrop to the 1999 general election.

Palabras clave : Cleavages; economy; electoral behaviour.
