Identifying the Critical Spaces of the 2012 Elections
Notes 1 Introduction 1. Indeed, even without such confounding factors, a ‘pure’ bipartisan system would not be predictable any more than an imperfect, realistic one. Knowing the equilibrium number of parties in a system does not guarantee knowing who votes for them or why. Even under Downsian rationality, ideology for the two parties acts as a signpost, not a GPS. 2. Those more enthused by cycle race or chess analogies should refer to commentary on the 2012 elections on our blog: 500signatures.com. 2 Knowns and Unknowns: Identifying the Critical Spaces of the 2012 Elections 1. ‘Deux riches familles ont payé les vacances des Sarkozy’, Libération, 18 August 2007, http://www.liberation.fr/politiques/010119427-deux-riches- familles-ont-paye-les-vacances-des-sarkozy, accessed 4 February 2013. 2. ‘Quand le président cajole ses (généreux) donateurs’, Le Parisien, 9 December 2009, http://www.leparisien.fr/politique/quand-le-president-cajole-ses- genereux-donateurs-09-12-2009-737945.php, accessed 4 February 2013. 3. As we shall see in Chapter 8, perversely for the FN, low turnout – so often a bonus for far right parties – dampened their ability to play kingmaker in a large number of constituencies. 4. Drees (2012) Suivi barométrique de l’opinion des français sur la santé, la protection sociale, la précarité, la famille et la solidarité. January, 67 p. (http://www.drees. sante.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/synthese2011_barometre_drees_bva.pdf). 5. We examine this further in Chapter 8. 6. This is revealed by the positive correlation that can be found between the FN vote and the subsequent rise in blank ballots (r = .62) across all metropolitan cantons (N =3, 883), which becomes non-significant for other candidates such as Bayrou or Mélenchon. -

Once part of Marseille’s port, the J4 Esplanade was bequeathed to the city as a barren swath of concrete and stone in the 1990s and has since been used by working-class and other Marseillais, many of whom hail from other nations, for recreation and socializing, with many of its regular users’ activities oriented towards the sea. -
Mapping Political Discourse: an Application of Network Visualization to Textual Records of Legislative Deliberations
Mapping political discourse: An application of network visualization to textual records of legislative deliberations Norbert Kwan Nok Chan Azadeh Nematzadeh Karissa McKelvey School of Public and Environmental Affairs School of Informatics and Computing, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University Indiana University Indiana University Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Abstract—In political science, one strand of research on agenda To tease out the mechanisms of agenda setting, much of the setting concerns the politics of choosing and defining problems research falls on the strategies and calculations of actors who for policy action. While theory deals with both strategies for engage in the contest (Cobb and Elder 1972; Rochefort and agenda control at the individual level and the dynamic of agenda change at the aggregate level, existing quantitative analysis Cobb 1994), the cognitive and informational basis of agenda remains confined to the latter. This deficiency prevents scholars change (Jones 2001), the general institutional environment from testing empirical observations about the micro-macro link regulating agenda formation and revision (Kingdon 1984; between behaviors and outcomes. With a view to closing this Jones and Baumgartner 1993; Workman, Jones, and Jochim analytical gap, this paper describes our application of network 2009), and the broad patterns of agenda change (Downs 1972; visualization as a first step to realizing the aggregate structure of local interactions between participants of in the legislative Baumgartner and Jones 2003). However, existing research has process. It concludes with some preliminary outputs generated yet to take a systematic look at the micro-macro link between from a dataset of published chamber deliberations in the French the disparate actions pursued by individual actors and the national legislature . -
The Exclusion of Women from the World of Politics
The Exclusion of Women from the World of Politics: The Representation of Female Politicians Running for the Highest Office in the Fifth French Republic Dr Robert John Armstrong Visiting Research Fellow University of Adelaide This is a translation of my PhD thesis which was originally published in French in October 2015 with the title “L’Exclusion des femmes de la vie politique : la représentation des femmes politiques en tant que candidates à la magistrature suprême dans la Cinquième République”. April 2018. i ABSTRACT The concept of Double Binds as applicable to women, particularly those in politics, was first raised in 1995 by Kathleen Hall Jamieson in Beyond the Double Bind. Work has continued in this area and, in 2010, Cracking the Highest Glass Ceiling, edited by Rainbow Murray, was published. This work expanded on the issues raised by Jamieson and focussed on a range of female leaders around the world, including Angela Merkel and Hillary Rodham Clinton. It nominated six double binds that were considered to impact on women who sought high political office. Due to restraints on the length of the thesis, only three of the double binds proposed have been examined. These have been selected by virtue of their perceived importance in relation to the female political figures examined. The double binds examined in the thesis are: Too Masculine or Too Feminine; Experienced or Symbol of Change; and Associated with a Prominent Male or Demonstration of Independence. The six females who are examined in this thesis are: Edith Cresson, Simone Veil, Michèle Alliot-Marie, Ségolène Royal, Martine Aubry and Marine Le Pen.
