  • Challenger Party List
    Appendix List of Challenger Parties Operationalization of Challenger Parties A party is considered a challenger party if in any given year it has not been a member of a central government after 1930. A party is considered a dominant party if in any given year it has been part of a central government after 1930. Only parties with ministers in cabinet are considered to be members of a central government. A party ceases to be a challenger party once it enters central government (in the election immediately preceding entry into office, it is classified as a challenger party). Participation in a national war/crisis cabinets and national unity governments (e.g., Communists in France’s provisional government) does not in itself qualify a party as a dominant party. A dominant party will continue to be considered a dominant party after merging with a challenger party, but a party will be considered a challenger party if it splits from a dominant party. Using this definition, the following parties were challenger parties in Western Europe in the period under investigation (1950–2017). The parties that became dominant parties during the period are indicated with an asterisk.

    Towards Mobility-as-a-Service: a cross-case analysis of public authorities' roles in the development of ICT-supported integrated mobility schemes Thèse N° 9098 Présentée le 29 mars 2019 au Collège du management de la technologie Chaire La Poste en management des industries de réseau Programme doctoral en management de la technologie pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur ès Sciences par Maxime Ugo Julien AUDOUIN Acceptée sur proposition du jury Prof. Ph. Wieser, président du jury Prof. M. Finger, directeur de thèse Prof. J. Montero, rapporteur Prof. J. M. Viegas, rapporteur Prof. F. Corman, rapporteur 2019 Automobiles have become counter-productive. Negative externalities resulting from car use have over- come the social benefits automobiles brought when initially introduced. Having shaped most contemporary transportationAbstrac systems,t the automobility regime is known to be hard to revert from. However, as all path- dependent systems, automobility can be subject to tipping points. Among other elements, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have enabled the development of new solutions having the potential to sup- port a paradigm shift. At the forefront of ICT-enabled developments, so-called ICT-supported integrated mobility schemes have emerged, encompassing smart transportation cards, Integrated Mobility Platforms and Mobility-as- a-Service, that bundle different transport offers together and aim at providing users with a mobility solution of a level of service competitive with the one provided by private cars, ultimately holding the promise of supporting a shift from vehicle ownership to mobility usership and potentially help unlatching transportation systems from the current automobility lock-in. However, most of those solutions are being proposed by the private sector, which often has different interests than the public sector.
