This study examines 100 of the 110 cities that applied for the award by the round of 2024 based on quantitative data that could measure the environmental awareness of those cities. The variables were selected in line with the topics of the EGCA call for proposals. Exploratory data analysis (EDA) was used to reveal the differences between the two groups, finalists and applicants who were nonshortlisted. Based on Mann-Whitney U tests and chi-square tests, the values of the finalists were convincingly more favorable for only 10 variables. To identify the variables with the strongest relationship with the outcome of the application, a logistic regression was performed after a dimension reduction carried out with multiple factor analysis (MFA). The model can be applied with high accuracy mainly in the category of nonshortlisted candidates (there are several erroneous estimates for the winners), which suggests that other, nonmeasurable criteria are also influencing factors. The model, with some limitations, can also be used by cities that also want to compete in the future to assess their chances before submitting their application.

Of particular relevance are the horizontal networks and international initiatives that promote sustainability actions and help the participating cities to exchange knowledge and experience. Participation in such initiatives and the degree of involvement is largely determined by the political leadership of cities. This paper investigates the political determinants of applying for a European sustainability initiative, the European Green Capital Award, using binary logistic regression with data on the real applicants and control cities, up to the round of 2024. The results show that cities with left-wing leadership and more green party representatives in the city council are more willing to apply for the award. The finalist status in the competition was positively influenced by the city council's environment-friendly attitude and the experience of previous applications.

We analyze spatial contextual factors of the 2018 general elections of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the linear regression models based on the fault line theory result in wrong estimations in several municipalities, not fitting into the national pattern. Using spatial modelling, it is confirmed that the strong territorial base of Bosnian parties is shaped by spatial dependence and spatial spillover effects. In addition to the spillover effect of individual party performance, the indirect neighbourhood role of ethnicity, sectoral structure and education was also shown in some cases.

AB - A szakértők többsége az etnikai meghatározottságot tartja Bosznia-Hercegovina politikai élete jellegadó sajátosságának. Részben emiatt, valamint a rendkívül összetett politikai rendszer következtében eddig mindössze néhány tanulmány született az ország választási földrajzáról. Célunk – az etnikai megközelítés fontosságát elfogadva – annak feltárása, hogy milyen egyéb tényezők befolyásolják a pártok teljesítményét, és milyen, az etnikaitól eltérő területi mintázat vázolható fel. Munkánkban a társadalmi változók és a pártok eredményeinek korrelációját számoltuk, valamint klaszteranalízist alkalmaztunk a területi jelleg meghatározására. Amellett érvelünk, hogy az „etnikai főszabály” mellett a klasszikus társadalmi törésvonalak is jelen vannak az országban, Európa többi részéhez hasonlóan, de kevésbé szignifikánsan.

The role of context is particularly salient for radical right parties. The halo effect and neighborhoods' heterogeneity can also strengthen the radical right in a homogeneous central area. This research further expands the role of diversity as a contextual effect based on the 2018 Swedish parliamentary elections results. This study at the electoral district level has demonstrated that the rate of diversification plays an important role and generates a vote-boosting effect in the neighborhood of rapidly diversifying electoral districts. The halo effect theory was confirmed by the ethnic polarization index; a homogeneous central electoral district with polarized neighboring districts can also validate the conflict theory and generate extra votes for the radical right party. The study also looked at the relative economic deprivation of neighboring electoral districts, but this did not lead to clear results owing to the strong correlation between economic status and diversity. A worse economic situation relative to neighboring areas was only found to have a significant Sweden Democrat vote-boosting effect in areas with diverse neighboring areas.
