abstract = {Standard  spatial  models  of  political  competition  give  rise  to  equilibria  in  which  the competing political parties or candidates converge to a common position. In this paper I show  how  political  polarization  can  be  generated  in  models  that  focus  on  the  nexus between pre-election interest group lobbying and electoral competition.},
