It highlights the distinctiveness of blue-collar partisanship in a context of significant political, social and economic change and compares it with patterns of partisanship in the wider electorate. The voter-party relationship is self-evidently a bilateral one which can be modified both on the demand side, because voters change, and on the supply side, because parties change. Four factors are identified as playing a key role in partisan dealignment: value change, policy convergence, political sophistication and political trust. There is compelling evidence that while each of these makes a contribution, it is changes in the behaviour of the parties that are driving partisan dealignment among blue-collar workers in France. Sally Marthaler is a former lecturer and researcher in politics and contemporary European studies at the University of Sussex, UK. She has published articles in journals including French Politics, West European Politics, and French Politics, Culture & Society, as well as chapters on French politics in books on the European Union. 606 $aFrance?Politics and government 606 $aElections 606 $aEurope?Politics and government 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aFrench Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911210 606 $aElectoral Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911070 606 $aEuropean Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911130 606 $aPolitical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170 615 0$aFrance?Politics and government. 615 0$aElections. 615 0$aEurope?Politics and government. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 14$aFrench Politics. 615 24$aElectoral Politics. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 676 $a944.08 676 $a324.944 700 $aMarthaler$b Sally$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058393 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370247303321 996 $aPartisan Dealignment and the Blue-Collar Electorate in France$92499645 997 $aUNINA
