    So similar, yet so different: Alternative fuer Deutschland and the Pirate Party

    No full text
    The paper compares the two parties' electoral constituencies (in terms of voters’ profile and electoral geography), and looks also at some key organizational aspects. It argues that the two parties display a very different profile. Yet, they also share a key element: they have mobilized voters otherwise not interested to politics, attracting a cross-party consensus. For this reason, should they enter the EP in the 2014 election, thanks to the more favourable 3 per cent threshold, they are bound to represent a significant challenge to the German party system, and therefore to be counted as relevant parties on a longer time span

    Still Dying At Work: The New Consolidated Text on Health and Safety in the Workplace

    No full text
    The chapter is centred on an analysis of the new policies for health and security at work in Italy in the period 2007-2008 after the tragic sequence of deaths at work at the Thyssen Group and other important companies. In particular, an in-depth analysis of the new "Testo Unico" for health and security of April 2008 is carried out together with the political events that brought to its approval between the Prodi and the Berlusconi government. Secondly, statistical data on incidents at work are presented and examined in a comparative perspective. Finally the chapter suggests some theoretical interpretations of the reasons why the "culture" of security and health in the work places is insufficiently diffused in Italy

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
