SAN DIEGO No More Mr. Niche Guy: Multidimensional UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA – SAN DIEGO No More Mr. Niche Guy: Multidimensional Issue Voting in Proportional Electoral Systems A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Matthew Edward Bergman Committee in charge: Professor William Chandler, Co-chair Professor Matthew Shugart, Co-chair Professor James Adams Professor Maureen Feeley Professor Isaac Martin 2016 Copyright Matthew Edward Bergman, 2016 All rights reserved. The Dissertation of Matthew Edward Bergman is approved, and it is acceptable in quality and form for publication on microfilm and electronically: Co-Chair Co-Chair University of California, San Diego 2016 iii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Professor Ellen Comisso. She was devoted to making the radical seem mundane, imbuing the controversial with an air of normalcy. It is with this spirit that the dissertation presented here so continues. In addition, I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my grandparents: Irene & Eugene Citerman and Eileen & Norman Bergman. I cannot help but wonder if the intellectual spark that has driven my research is rooted in genetics. As they have shared and dedicated their support, commitment to education, and inquisitive minds with me, I, in return, dedicate this dissertation to them. iv EPIGRAPH “He will find that as he alters

  • Italy Failed the Test | International Affairs at LSE
    6/19/2017 Italy Failed the Test | International Affairs at LSE Mar 7 2013 Italy Failed the Test LSE IDEAS By Dr. Giulia Bentivoglio, Visiting Fellow at LSE IDEAS. The Italian elections of 24­25 February 2013, gave Italians their first chance to vote after the ill­fated experiment of Mario Monti’s “technocratic government”. These elections were a test in many senses: they were a test for the parties involved to show signs of actual change and detachment from a political system that urgently needed to be cleaned up. They were a test of credibility for the country as a whole, to indicate to its European partners that it was able to achieve the political stability essential to Italy’s economic recovery. Finally, the elections were a test on the Eurozone and the feasibility of continuing austerity. A low electoral turnout (75%) and a widespread protest vote as a reaction to austerity measures resulted in political gridlock and a hung parliament. The Democratic Party (PD) polled the largest share of the vote but failed to gain majority in the Senate: as its leader Pier Luigi Bersani put it, “we did not win, although we came first”. The real winners were Beppe Grillo and Silvio Berlusconi. Grillo’s Five Stars Movement (M5S), formed just three years ago, became the largest party in the Chamber of Deputies, an unprecedented success achieved by a campaign boasting the prophetic name the “tsunami tour” which focused on the new social media and on a populist rhetoric. Berlusconi’s party (People of Freedom – PdL) lost 17% of its voters, but this was the best result possible from someone who seemed to be politically dead in December 2012.

  • European Parliament Mid-Term Election: What Impact on Migration Policy?
    www.epc.eu 16 March 2017 01/12/2009 European Parliament mid-term election: what impact on migration policy? Marco Funk As the dust settles from the European Parliament’s (EP) mid-term election held on 17 January 2017, migration continues to top the EU’s agenda. The election of Antonio Tajani to replace Martin Schulz as president of the EP brought the institution under the leadership of the European People’s Party (EPP) after a power-sharing agreement with the socialist S&D was cancelled and replaced by a last-minute deal with the liberal ALDE group. A closer look at Tajani’s election and associated reshuffle of key internal positions suggests little change in the EP’s course on migration in the short term. However, upcoming developments may significantly change Parliament dynamics in the longer term. New president, different style Antonio Tajani is considered by many to be a less political, less activist president compared to Martin Schulz. The former is also apparently less willing to insist on a prominent role for the EP than the latter. Furthermore, Tajani shares the same conservative political affiliation as the heads of the European Commission and European Council, which makes ideological confrontations with Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk even less likely than under Schulz, who had few disagreements with either. While Schulz already maintained good relations with Juncker and closely coordinated responses to the large influx of refugees in 2015/2016, Tajani is even better placed to cooperate effectively due to his previous Commission experience and ideological alignment. Despite Tajani’s association with Italy’s populist conservative leader Silvio Berlusconi, he has adopted a more mainstream conservative political identity, which ultimately won him the EPP’s support.

An international comparison” di- rected by Klaus Armingeon and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. This data set consists of (mostly) annual data for 23 democratic countries for the period of 1960 to 2012. In the cases of Greece, Spain and Portugal, political data were collected only for the democratic periods1. The data set is suited for cross national, longitudinal and pooled time series analyses. The data set contains some additional demographic, socio- and economic variables. Howev- er, these variables are not the major concern of the project and are thus limited in scope. For more in-depth sources of these data, see the online databases of the OECD. For trade union membership, excellent data for European trade unions are available on CD from the Data Handbook by Bernhard Ebbinghaus and Jelle Visser (2000). A few variables have been copied from a data set collected by Evelyne Huber, Charles Ragin, John D. Stephens, David Brady and Jason Beckfield (2004). We are grateful for the permission to include these data. When using data from this data set, please quote both the data set and, where appropriate, the original source. Please quote this data set as: Klaus Armingeon, Laura Knöpfel, David Weisstanner and Sarah Engler.

  • LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: Silvio Is Back: Understanding Berlusconi's Latest Revival Ahead of the Italian
    LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: Silvio is back: Understanding Berlusconi’s latest revival ahead of the Italian general election Page 1 of 3 Silvio is back: Understanding Berlusconi’s latest revival ahead of the Italian general election Despite currently being banned from holding office, Silvio Berlusconi is well placed to have a key role in the Italian general election in March. Fabio Bordignon outlines the factors behind his latest comeback, and how his Forza Italia party could play a central part in the formation of the next Italian government. In the past when we Italian scholars of political science met our colleagues at international conferences, it was always the same question: why Berlusconi? How could a media tycoon, facing multiple-trials and allegations, an unlikely politician later known for his ‘bunga bunga’ parties, have become the leading figure in one of the largest western democracies? The astonishment of the international observer was particularly acute in 2011, when Berlusconi, hit by personal scandals and by the Eurozone debt crisis, resigned as prime minister. Now the world has changed, and it’s full of Berlusconi-style politicians. But at a time when political leaders seem to fade as fast as they rise, Berlusconi is still there. The ‘Eternal Leader’ has survived the collapse of his last government, a ban from the Italian Parliament, and a seemingly irreversible electoral (and personal) decline. And now the 81-year-old leader is ready for a new comeback. He cannot be a candidate, but he still leads (owns) his personal party, Forza Italia. And he could win with his centre-right coalition at the Italian general election in March.

  • Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Chiavacci, (eds) Grano & Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia East Democratic in State the and Society Civil Edited by David Chiavacci, Simona Grano, and Julia Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Between Entanglement and Contention in Post High Growth Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
