传统观点认为，政党有回应公众舆论的动机。在开放的经济体中，决策者还必须对市场作出“反应”，这也是传统智慧。关于代理问题的研究为支持第一种说法提供了充分的证据。然而，对全球化的政治经济学的研究并没有为第二种观点提供证据。本文探讨了全球化对政党如何回应选民的影响。我们认为，虽然选举激励政党回应公众情绪，经济上的相互依赖分散了政治精英对选民和市场参与者的注意力，降低了政党对平均选民的反应。从20世纪70年代到2010年，20个发达资本主义民主国家的选举数据显示，尽管政党有动机对平均选民立场的左右变化做出反应，但只有当国家经济充分免受世界经济的影响时，他们才会这样做。这些发现对政党战略、代表性以及市场整合的更广泛影响都有影响。
Conventional wisdom has it that political parties have incentives to respond to public opinion. It is also conventional wisdom that in open economies, policymakers must also “respond” to markets. Research on representation has provided ample evidence in support of the first claim. Research on the political economy of globalization has not, however, provided evidence for the second. This article examines the effects of globalization on how parties respond to voters. We argue that while elections motivate parties to respond to public sentiment, economic interdependence distracts political elites from their electorates and toward market actors, reducing party responsiveness to the mean voter. Evidence from a pair of distinct data sources spanning elections in twenty advanced capitalist democracies from the 1970s to 2010 shows that while parties have incentives to respond to left-right shifts in the mean voter position, they only do so when the national economy is sufficiently sheltered from the world economy. These findings have implications for party strategies, for representation, and for the broader effects of market integration.
