Abstract
We develop a micro approach to assess how social structure is expressed in voting for Green and TAN parties. This study seeks to do three things. First, it proposes a cleavage theory of party system change in which the rise of green and nationalist parties since the 1980s is explained as a response to a single exogenous shock, an information revolution that transformed capitalism and recast relations among the sexes. Second, it proposes that the field in which a person is educated is influential in conditioning a person’s partisanship on the contemporary cleavage. Third, it extends a field theory of education to gendered sorting and occupational variation in green and TAN voting.
