John Jackson was born in 1812 at Ballybag, County Monaghan, Ireland, the son of Hugh and Ann (Corcoran) Jackson. His early education appears, from the limited records, to have been obtained in the local schools of County Monaghan and rounded off, in the fashion of the day, in some form of apprenticeship to a local engineer.1 By 1841, with the economy of Ireland fairly depressed and the beginnings of famine already appearing, John Jackson and his younger brother, Thomas, immigrated to the United States. The Ireland he left was heavily populated and arable land was too expensive for anyone but an English Lord. JOHN JACKSON The population was so high that Benjamin Disraeli declared that the country was more John Jackson, pioneer surveyor, general densely populated, on its usable land, than store owner, mill owner and civic leader has China.

  • Niche Parties in the Benoit and Laver Expert Survey
    Niche parties in the Benoit and Laver expert survey Note: 1) This list is not to be treated as exhaustive as the expert survey restricted itself to the most important parties in each country. Many smaller parties are therefore not included in the dataset. 2)Only countries with more than three parties are included in the analysis as it is not reasonable to calculate mean salience scores with just one or two competitors. While smaller party systems may also have niche parties, it is difficult to assess relative levels of salience if the number of other competitors is so small. This excludes Malta and the United States from the sample for this survey. 3) Party family information is taken from the CMP dataset. 4) For more on the survey and precise question wording, see: Benoit, K. and M.

  • Anti-Establishment Coalition Governments in Southern Europe: Greece and Italy
    Anti-establishment coalition governments in Southern Europe: Greece and Italy Vasiliki Georgiadou Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, 136 Syngrou Ave. 17671, Athens, Greece. Email: [email protected] Jenny Mavropoulou Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, 136 Syngrou Ave. 17671, Athens, Greece. Email: [email protected] Abstract Anti-establishment parties with either a left-wing or a right-wing ideological slant have been entering contemporary European Democracies with sizeable vote shares. During the Great Recession, the Greek and the Italian party system could be perceived as convergent case-studies for the formation and breakthrough of anti-establishment parties. Given the fact that ideologically diverging anti- establishment parties – the Coalition of the Radical Left - Social Unionist Front (SYRIZA) and the Independent Greeks (ANEL) in the Greek case, as well as the Five Star Movement (M5S) and the League in the Italian one – came to power and formed coalition governments, the primary goal of this article is to enquire into supply-side parameters, exploring potential associations along a range of programmatic stances and policy dimensions that effectuated these governing alliances. Using the Comparative Manifesto Project dataset, our findings confirm the existence of expected programmatic differences as well as a converging policymaking basis between the anti-establishment coalition partners of both governing alliances.

  • 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.

  • Parties in Government: the Case of the Five Star Movement and SYRIZA
    Italian Political Science, VOLUME 13 ISSUE 2, OCTOBER 2018 Party change in ‘populist’ parties in government: the case of the Five Star Movement and SYRIZA Davide Vittori LUISS GUIDO CARLI UNIVERSITY, ROME Abstract FSM and SYRIZA are the main anti-establishment parties which seized power during the Great Recession. As in the Greek case in 2015, when SYRIZA coalesced with right-wing party ANEL, FSM coalesced with a radical- right party (The League). Regardless of their different ideological backgrounds, both SYRIZA and FSM were relatively ‘new’ parties at the time of their first relevant electoral performance. While the literature has sofar tack- led the issue of the growth of these two parties in their political system, their organizations and their electorates, little has been said in comparative perspective on the internal reforms that the two parties undertook and their institutionalization process. The aim of this paper is to enquire into the nature of the party reforms within those parties, which the literature has labelled as anti-establishment or populist. To what extent do their reforms cor- respond to the theoretical frameworks that were designed in the past for mainstream parties? And, secondly, are these changes that the parties have undergone similar? In what ways? The findings show that, albeit follow- ing different paths, party changes in the two parties followed the same pattern as mainstream parties. Introduction n January 2015, for the first time since Greece’s transition to democracy, the Coali- tion of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) obtained a relative majority in the Greek I Parliament and made an alliance with a newly-established radical-right party, the In- dependent Greeks (ANEL) (Katsourides 2015).

  • The Rise of Inclusionary Populism in Europe: the Case of SYRIZA Research Article
    The Rise of Inclusionary Populism in Europe: The Case of SYRIZA Research Article Grigoris Markou PhD candidate, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki [email protected] http://www.suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at/cse/en/markou Contemporary Southeastern Europe, 2017, 4(1), 54-71 Contemporary Southeastern Europe is an online, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes original, scholarly, and policy-oriented research on issues relevant to societies in Southeastern Europe. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at www.contemporarysee.org The Rise of Inclusionary Populism in Europe: The Case of SYRIZA Grigoris Markou* In recent years, and especially after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, right-wing and left-wing populist parties and movements have enjoyed significant political success in Europe. One of these parties is SYRIZA in Greece. In this paper, we explore some of the particular characteristics of the political discourse articulated by SYRIZA in power. The core argument of the paper is that the Greek radical left party continues to express an inclusionary populist discourse after its rise to power. We examine this issue by utilising the methodology of the Essex School of Discourse Analysis. Moreover, we attempt to substantiate the view that populism does not always have a negative connotation and is not deterministically associated with nationalism or racism. Furthermore, we try to establish whether the concept of "crypto-colonialism” is an important key to understanding the rise of inclusionary populism to power in Greece. Finally, we analyse various manifestations of Greek anti-populism in order to highlight the danger that derives from this kind of stereotypical discourse.

This is described by the popular term "PASOKification," named after the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) of Greece and its epic fall from power in the 2010s. However, despite the popular commentary about such decline, is there any objective evidence for this supposed decline? Or is it a transformation of the party system to be expected in any democracy? We will attempt to answer these questions in our survey.
