The article published in the journal Party Politics, involving researchers Toni Rodon (UPF), Nikandros Ioannidis (Cyprus University of Technology) and Marc Guinjoan (UAB), offers insight into the dynamics of the winner-loser effects in sovereignty referendums and their effects on elections. The study is based on the CONREF dataset, which includes information on 77 sovereignty referendums held between 1956 and 2020 in 32 countries, as well as the electoral outcomes of the parties –over 500 political formations– before and after the referendum and their policy position in several key areas.
