本文仔细研究了网络政党竞选对政党竞争影响的两个重要理论。在研究领域的现有研究条件下，对均衡和归一化理论进行了系统逻辑依赖的测试。条件是具体国家的背景设置和具体研究方法。采用定性比较分析的方法，使基于变量的推理可以应用于低n的案例研究。分析的主要结果是，正常化的结果主要取决于对主要政党有利的线下条件- -特别是选举环境。关于平等的调查结果，与线下环境相比，有利于小党派的在线媒体环境被证明是重要的。通过一种元分析方法，文章提供了重要的信息，以阐明如何构建这两种理论的学术解释。
This article takes a close look at two important theories concerning the effects that online party campaigning has on party competition. The equalization and normalization theories are tested for systematic logical dependence on conditions present in existing studies within the research field. The conditions are country-specific contextual settings and studyspecific methodology. The method of qualitative comparative analysis is used, such that variable based reasoning can be applied in the low n case study. The main result of the analysis is that findings of normalization are mostly dependent on offline conditions — electoral settings in particular — being favourable to major parties. Concerning findings of equalization, an online media environment favourable to minor parties, compared to the offline environment proved important. Through a meta-analytical approach, the article brings important information to light on how scholarly interpretations of the two theories have been constructed.
