  • Remaking Italy? Place Configurations and Italian Electoral Politics Under the ‘Second Republic’
    Modern Italy Vol. 12, No. 1, February 2007, pp. 17–38 Remaking Italy? Place Configurations and Italian Electoral Politics under the ‘Second Republic’ John Agnew The Italian Second Republic was meant to have led to a bipolar polity with alternation in national government between conservative and progressive blocs. Such a system it has been claimed would undermine the geographical structure of electoral politics that contributed to party system immobilism in the past. However, in this article I argue that dynamic place configurations are central to how the ‘new’ Italian politics is being constructed. The dominant emphasis on either television or the emergence of ‘politics without territory’ has obscured the importance of this geographical restructuring. New dynamic place configurations are apparent particularly in the South which has emerged as a zone of competition between the main party coalitions and a nationally more fragmented geographical pattern of electoral outcomes. These patterns in turn reflect differential trends in support for party positions on governmental centralization and devolution, geographical patterns of local economic development, and the re-emergence of the North–South divide as a focus for ideological and policy differences between parties and social groups across Italy. Introduction One of the high hopes of the early 1990s in Italy was that following the cleansing of the corruption associated with the party regime of the Cold War period, Italy could become a ‘normal country’ in which bipolar politics of electoral competition between clearly defined coalitions formed before elections, rather than perpetual domination by the political centre, would lead to potential alternation of progressive and conservative forces in national political office and would check the systematic corruption of partitocrazia based on the jockeying for government offices (and associated powers) after elections (Gundle & Parker 1996).

    Codebook InDivEU – party preferences European University Institute, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies December 2020 Introduction The “InDivEU – party preferences” dataset provides data on the positions of more than 400 parties from 28 countries1 on questions of (differentiated) European integration. The dataset comprises a selection of party positions taken from two existing datasets: (1) The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File contains party positions for three rounds of European Parliament elections (2009, 2014, and 2019). Party positions were determined in an iterative process of party self-placement and expert judgement. For more information: https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/65944 (2) The Chapel Hill Expert Survey The Chapel Hill Expert Survey contains party positions for the national elections most closely corresponding the European Parliament elections of 2009, 2014, 2019. Party positions were determined by expert judgement. For more information: https://www.chesdata.eu/ Three additional party positions, related to DI-specific questions, are included in the dataset. These positions were determined by experts involved in the 2019 edition of euandi after the elections took place. The inclusion of party positions in the “InDivEU – party preferences” is limited to the following issues: - General questions about the EU - Questions about EU policy - Questions about differentiated integration - Questions about party ideology 1 This includes all 27 member states of the European Union in 2020, plus the United Kingdom.

  • The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV
    School of Economics and Finance The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV Ruben Durante, Paolo Pinotti and Andrea Tesei Working Paper No. 762 December 201 5 ISSN 1473-0278 The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV∗ Ruben Durantey Paolo Pinottiz Andrea Teseix July 2015 Abstract We investigate the political impact of entertainment television in Italy over the past thirty years by exploiting the staggered intro- duction of Silvio Berlusconi's commercial TV network, Mediaset, in the early 1980s. We find that individuals in municipalities that had access to Mediaset prior to 1985 - when the network only featured light entertainment programs - were significantly more likely to vote for Berlusconi's party in 1994, when he first ran for office. This effect persists for almost two decades and five elections, and is es- pecially pronounced for heavy TV viewers, namely the very young and the old. We relate the extreme persistence of the effect to the relative incidence of these age groups in the voting population, and explore different mechanisms through which early exposure to en- tertainment content may have influenced their political attitudes. Keywords: television, entertainment, voting, political participa- tion, Italy.

  • E42 Mark Blyth & David Kertzer Mixdown
    Brown University Watson Institute | E42_Mark Blyth & David Kertzer_mixdown [MUSIC PLAYING] MARK BLYTH: Hello, and welcome to a special edition of Trending Globally. My name is Mark Blyth. Today, I'm interviewing David Kertzer. David is the former provost here at Brown University. But perhaps more importantly, he knows more about Italy than practically anybody else we can find. Given that the elections have just happened in Italy and produced yet another kind of populist shock, we thought is was a good idea to bring him in and have a chat. Good afternoon, David. DAVID KERTZER: Thanks for having me, Mark. MARK BLYTH: OK, so let's try and put this in context for people. Italy's kicked off. Now, we could talk about what's happening right now today, but to try and get some context on this, I want to take us back a little bit. This is not the first time the Italian political system-- indeed the whole Italian state-- has kind of blown up. I want to go back to 1994. That's the last time things really disintegrated. Start there, and then walk forward, so then we can talk more meaningfully about the election. So I'm going to invite you to just take us back to 1994. Tell us about what was going on-- the post-war political compact, and then [BLOWS RASPBERRY] the whole thing fell apart. DAVID KERTZER: Well, right after World War II, of course, it was a new political system-- the end of the monarchy. There is a republic. The Christian Democratic Party, very closely allied with the Catholic Church, basically dominated Italian politics for decades.

The Impact of New Introduction Right Parties in Government on FDI regulation Roger Schoenman “Currently, 95 percent of wholesale and retail trade belongs to foreign capital, until recently [email protected] over 70 percent of the banking sector belonged to foreign banks. Repolonization is, thus, necessary.” Then Polish Deputy PM, now PM Matuesz Morawiecki, May 17, 2017. (Redakcja Word Count without bibliography: 10,128 2017). Version date: 4/30/19 “We need foreign investment, and we must never underrate the jobs which have been created, but we must recognize that they will no longer be the source of competitiveness.” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban November 10, 2016 speech in Budapest. “I believe there is no national sovereignty without a national financial system.” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in a November 2014 radio interview. “I appreciate the process of Polonization of banks sponsored by prominent persons. In the 1990s people who said that banks should be largely in Polish hands were regarded as deviants. A few years ago we learned that capital, however, has nationality and I understand that these processes, which are starting in Poland now, are a derivative of understanding this new situation. It is a pity that it is so late, but better late than never.” Zbigniew Kuźmiuk of Law and Justice (PiS) told newseria.pl in July 29, 2015. “Foreign Investors will be welcomed with open arms, however they must expect to no longer be treated in a privileged way as was the case until now, but will compete with Polish firms under fairer regulation,” -Jaroslaw Gowin, one of the Poland’s deputy prime ministers.

    Anna Lührmann, Lisa Gastaldi, Dominik Hirndorf and Staffan I. Lindberg (Eds). 2020. Defending Democracy against Illiberal Challengers: A Resource Guide. Varieties of Democracy Institute/University of Gothenburg. Appendix to Part 4 (Resources for Democratic Politicians and Political Parties) Sandra Grahn, Anna Lührmann, Lisa Gastaldi Austria – Freedom Party (FPÖ) 2006: Cabinet exit The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) had met all conditions put forward by the Christian Democratic party, and was in government with them, holding important ministries such as finance and justice (Heinisch and Hauser, 2016, p. 76). However, the new leader, Haider, took the party in a new direction, being more clearly anti-Semitic. He visited Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and did other things that did not go over well with the electorate (Art, 2017, p. 585). This created serious divisions within the party, that also went public (Heinisch and Hauser, 2016, p. 78). After low poll numbers and negative media coverage, the FPÖ brought down its own leadership, and thus the government in 2002 (Heinisch and Hauser, 2016, p. 79). From the subsequent early election in 2002, the FPÖ still held government position, although now only three ministries. They started blocking neo-liberal policies and returning to protest-party rhetoric. In 2005, the FPÖ split into FPÖ and BZÖ, and the BZÖ remained in government office while the FPÖ did not. 2019: Cabinet exit In May 2019, just a week before the EP election, German newspapers published a video showing the FPÖ leader and Austrian vice chancellor, Heinz-Christian Strache together with another FPÖ member asking the niece of a Russian oligarch to take over Austria’s biggest tabloid, and tilt the election in their favour, in exchange for government contracts.

  • European Parliament Elections: a Final Look at the National Campaigns
    European Parliament elections: a final look at the national campaigns blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2014/05/22/european-parliament-elections-a-final-look-at-the-national-campaigns/ 22/05/2014 European Parliament elections are being held on 22-25 May, with voting already under way in some countries across Europe. To mark the start of the election, Stuart Brown takes a look at the national campaigns, national polling, and the key domestic issues which are at stake in each of the 28 EU states. While several predictions have been made as to the eventual composition of the European Parliament, the individual votes which will take place in each EU states between now and Sunday will also have an important impact at the level of domestic politics. This article provides a final overview of each of the 28 national campaigns, including polling on the likely results and some of the key issues at stake in each state. To structure the article, states have been loosely grouped on the basis of their size and location into six different sections, with tables provided showing the latest vote share and seat predictions from PollWatch2014 for each group in turn.
