2016年奥地利总统选举与这个政治制度稳定的国家历史上的前几次总统选举有很大不同。它不仅为奥地利总统的角色提供了辩论空间，还将自二战以来主导奥地利政治的两个政党排挤在外。亚历山大·范德贝伦以近代史上最接近的优势之一赢得了选举。这篇文章认为，选举在不止一种方式上分裂了这个国家。除了两位候选人之间近一半的差距外，选举结果还显示，这在地区政治中也产生了重要的动态，特别是在奥地利的州和市。这些结果指向了奥地利政治中的政党制度转型。
ABSTRACT The 2016 Austrian presidential election was remarkably different than the previous ones in the history of the country characterized by its stable political system. Not only did it open the role of president in Austria to debate, but it also sidelined the two political parties that had dominated Austrian politics since World War II. Alexander Van der Bellen won the election with one of the closest margins in recent history. This article argues that the election divided the country in more than one way. Besides the near 50–50 divide between the candidates, the results show that it generated important dynamics in territorial politics as well, notably in the states and cities of Austria. These results point towards a party system transformation in Austrian politics.
