However, nationalization as a concept, and the process by which politics becomes nationalized, are not fully understood. \u003ci\u003eAre All Politics Nationalized? \u003c\/i\u003eaddresses this knowledge gap by looking at the behavior of candidates and the factors that influence voters’ electoral choices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editors and contributors examine the 2020 elections in six Pennsylvania districts to explore the level of nationalization in campaigns for Congress and state legislature. They also question if politicians are encouraging nationalized behavior and straight ticket voting-especially with down-ballot races. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAre All Politics Nationalized?\u003c\/i\u003e concludes that issues specific to particular districts-such as fracking and local union politics-still matter, and candidates are eager to connect with voters by highlighting their ties to the local community.
