regionalization 區域整體化

regionalization
繁:區域整體化
简:区域整体化

在一种被称为“区域整体化”(regionalization)的做法中,一些州与本地区的其他各州合作,在同一天举行初选和党员核心会议,以最大限度地扩大该地区的影响。这两大趋势都已起到紧缩初选进程的作用,迫使候选人提早展开竞选活动,将精力集中在走在前面的几个州里,较早地筹集更多的资金并把它们花掉,越加依赖大众传媒,特别是电台和电视台,并且更加倚重各州政党领袖的认同,从而帮助他们接近在同一天举行初选的那些州的选民。

The issue reflects the regionalization of America’s deep partisan divide, with splits in many states between populous urban areas that tend to be more liberal and larger, less populated rural areas that generally are more conservative.
