Political strategy matters? -? especially in the case of unpopular reforms. This is the main argument of this article. It shows that the analysis of political strategies gives complementary insights into the causal mechanisms of reform politics. It helps us to understand how political actors successfully implement unpopular reforms. The article provides empirical evidence for this claim by means of an analysis of adjustment efforts in Sweden, Belgium, Canada and France during the 1990s. It is shown that governments acted strategically in two areas: they used strategic manoeuvres in the political sphere in order to circumvent veto players. And they employed strategic organisation and communication in the public sphere in order to dampen the risk of being punished by voters for the implemented policies.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01402382.2011.572385

机译：政治策略重要吗？ -？特别是在不受欢迎的改革中。这是本文的主要论点。它表明，对政治战略的分析为改革政治的因果机制提供了互补的见解。它有助于我们了解政治角色如何成功实施不受欢迎的改革。本文通过对1990年代瑞典，比利时，加拿大和法国的调整努力进行分析，为该索赔提供了经验证据。结果表明，政府在两个方面采取了战略行动：它们在政治领域采取了战略手段，以规避否决权。他们在公共领域进行了战略性组织和沟通，以减轻因实施政策而被选民惩罚的风险。查看全文下载全文netvibes，twitter，technorati，可口，linkedin，facebook，stumbleupon，digg，google，更多”，发布：“ ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b”}; var addthis_config = {“ data_track_addressbar”：true，“ ui_click”：true};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01402382.2011.572385
