  • 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.

  • Pangs of Nascent Nationalism from the Nationless State?

Pangsofnascentnationalismfromthe nationless state? Euro coins and undocumented migrants in Malta since 2004n GODFREY BALDACCHINO University of Prince Edward Island, Canada and Visiting Professor, University of Malta, Malta ABSTRACT. This paper examines recent manifestations of the emergence of national identity amongst the citizens of Malta, now the smallest member state of the European Union. In this search, discrete events and ‘things’ are examined as symbolic para- phernalia, empirical phenomena that provide insights to overarching narratives about identity, nationalism and integration. The discussion and eventual decision on the choice of euro coin faces in Malta is proposed as one that illustrates a process of ‘nascent nationalism’. Meanwhile, the arrival of boatloads of undocumented migrants on Malta’s shores has also encouraged the evolution of a secular, national character in Malta. Such episodes, and others, ultimately reflect a need for symbols of national unity that remain largely absent in this ‘nationless state’ which continues to be gripped by a bipolar partisanship that spares almost no one. KEYWORDS: euro coins; European Union; Malta; nationalism; nationless state; undocumented migrants Scene-setting: there are two sides to the coin The choice of stylised bridges to grace the reverse side of the euro notes, now the currency of 400 million Europeans, should not surprise us. The European Union (EU) is a grand project which speaks ambitiously to both integration n An earlier draft of this paper was prepared for a workshop titled: ‘EU–Civil Society Relations: The Impact of the EU on National Movements and National Identity’, organised by the Department of Politics at the University of Strathclyde and held at Ross Priory, Loch Lomond, Scotland, on 23–25 April 2007.

  • OGP NAP2 Malta Rev2
    Open Government Partnership 2nd National Action Plan MALTA 2015-2017 1. Introduction The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a global effort to make governments better and more accountable. It aims to make governments more transparent, effective and accountable – with citizens that are empowered and institutions that are responsive to their demands and dreams. To further these initiatives is not easy and requires political leadership and political will in conjunction with technical knowledge. To implement these policies requires investment and sustained effort, and a dialogue of collaboration between governments and civil society. The government of Malta is committed to OGP as the principles of promoting transparency, empowering citizens, fighting corruption and harnessing new technologies are all in line with government’s views and policies. This commitment was formalised by the signing of the OGP in July 2011. Furthermore, Malta submitted its’ first National Action Plan (NAP) in June 2012 for the period 2012-2014. The first NAP focused on two grand challenges, namely: ‘Creating Safer Communities’ and ‘Increasing Corporate Accountability’. The second section of this action plan provides an update regarding the implementation of the first action plan. The second NAP will focus on the following grand challenges, ‘Improving Public Services’ and ‘Increasing Public Integrity’. The two grand challenges were chosen in collaboration with civil society. Improving Public Services 1. Participation of Women in the Public Service Over the past years, labour market participation of women in Malta, has improved but still remains considerably below EU average. The female participation rate in the labour market is one of the key challenges listed by the European Union (EU) in Malta’s Country-Specific Recommendations for 2015.

  • Greening Our Economy –Achieving a Sustainable
    GREENING OUR ECONOMY – ACHIEVING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE MINISTRY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, THE ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE (MSDEC) PREAMBLE Economic growth patterns, growing populations, and current production and consumption patterns reliant on finite resources have adversely affected the environment, to the extent that a ‘business-as-usual’ approach, revolving around unsustainable practices, is no longer an option. The environment and the economy are explicitly linked and can no longer be considered in isolation from one another. It is time for a strategic vision, incorporating policies that are congruent with economic efficiency, environmental integrity and social equity, as well as coherent both at a national and an international level1. The Green Economy is thus to be resorted to as a new source of growth; as a means to accelerate progress towards sustainable development and poverty reduction. Moreover, as indicated in Malta’s National Reform Programme, not only does the Green Economy create jobs and monetary trade, but it also has the potential of improving well- being as a result of a symbiotic relationship between ‘economic growth’ and ‘environmental stewardship’. In this way, better jobs and increased revenue would be managed so as to directly and indirectly contribute towards a cleaner environment, in the interests of the present and future generations. ‘Malta’s commitment to the shift to a green economy is expressed in my Government’s programme of work, through the implementation of a strategy based on best practices that put the environment at the core of decisions made while aiming to achieve economic growth that gives due consideration to sustainable development.2’ – Prime Minister Dr Joseph Muscat It follows that, this clear policy direction is in the process of being translated into concrete action, which must be characterised by substantially increased investments in economic sectors that build on and enhance the earth’s natural capital or reduce ecological scarcities and environmental risks.

  • Codebook CPDS III 1990-2012
    Codebook: COMPARATIVE POLITICAL DATA SET III 1990-2012 Klaus Armingeon, Laura Knöpfel, David Weisstanner and Sarah Engler The Comparative Political Data Set III 1990-2012 is a collection of political and institutional data. This data set consists of (mostly) annual data for a group of 36 OECD and/or EU- member countries for the period 1990-20121. The data are primarily from the data set created at the University of Berne, Institute of Political Science and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation: The Comparative Political Data Set I (CPDS I). However, the present data set differs in several aspects from the CPDS I dataset. Compared to CPDS I Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus (Greek part), Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia have been added. The present data set is suited for cross-national, longitudinal and pooled time series analyses. The data set contains some additional demographic, socio- and economic variables. However, 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 is provided by Jelle Visser (2013). When using the data from this data set, please quote both the data set and, where appropriate, the original source. This data set is to be cited as: Klaus Armingeon, Laura Knöpfel, David Weisstanner and Sarah Engler. 2014. Comparative Political Data Set III 1990-2012.

The National Action Plan is a national document, based on consultation within and beyond government. The issues that arise in this document, and the measures intended to address them, have been identified as important by key stakeholders in the labour market. They are intended to serve the needs of various groups – employers, employees, jobseekers and groups facing labour market barriers. It is important to be clear about the scope of the Plan. It is not a job creation strategy, but aims to bring about levels of efficiency, skill and inclusion that should allow jobs to be created, and taken up, with greater ease by all.

  • Party Organizational Strength in New and Old Democracies
    Revista do CESOP http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-01912019251199 e-ISSN 1807-0191 Time after time: party organizational strength in new and old democracies Pedro Floriano Ribeiro1 Luis Locatelli2 The ‘time factor’ has not been systematically considered in cross-national studies on party organizations. Relying on the largest dataset to date on party organizations, namely the Political Party Database Project (PPDB), the article tests the impact of time as a two-level variable (duration of democracy and age of parties) on parties’ organizational strength in new and established democracies. We add original data from three Latin American countries to the nineteen countries covered by the first PPDB database (132 parties overall). The results suggest that parties in established democracies have less members and more money than those of newer democracies. Among the latter, the greater capacity for mass mobilization produces stronger parties—as in Latin America—compared to the Eastern European countries. The findings challenge the traditional view of the exceptional weakness of Latin American parties and point to the importance of time as a multilevel variable: besides the national context, the “ancestral” party origin in previous regimes have a large impact on organizational strength. Keywords: party organizations; political parties; party membership; party finance; Latin America Introduction3 Many studies in political science consider time as a relevant factor in the explanation of political processes, implicitly or explicitly, when adopting historical approaches. However, a few authors have systematically placed “politics in time” (Pierson, 2004). In this sense, the influence of time as a multilevel variable—duration of democracy and age of parties—on party membership, party funding, and organizational strength has not been systematically tested until today in cross-national comparative studies.
