Logica e polemica. La scienza politica di Giovanni Sartori
No full textNel centenario della nascita di Giovanni Sartori (1924-2017), maestro della scienza politica italiana e internazionale, Il Pensiero Storico intende rendergli omaggio con un dossier speciale che torni a prenderne sul serio il ragionamento polemico abbinato al rigore empirico. I contributi raccolti comprendono interviste ad illustri allievi (Domenico Fisichella, Gianfranco Pasquino, Giuliano Urbani) e saggi di studiosi della nuova generazione impegnati nel ripensamento critico del bagaglio metodologico ed epistemologico del grande politologo fiorentino
Cambiamento o assestamento? Le elezioni amministrative del 2016
No full textLe elezioni amministrative del 2016 hanno coinvolto oltre 1.300 comuni e all’incirca 13 milioni di elettori. I ricercatori e i collaboratori del Cattaneo sono stati chiamati a raccolta per riflettere e analizzare in profondità il significato di un voto locale che ha avuto, e continuerà ad avere, importanti conseguenze anche sul piano nazionale. La prima del volume contiene una serie di capitoli sulle principali città chiamate al voto (Milano, Bologna, Roma, ecc.). La seconda parte è dedicata al "processo elettorale" (modalità di selezione dei candidati, astensione, voto di preferenza, ecc). La terza parte riguarda infine "Partiti, coalizioni e classe politica
The Left’s Divided Constituency and the Construction of a Unifying Narrative
No full textHow has the narrative of the social-democratic parties changed in the era of globalisation and in the face of the strengthening of the European integration process? To what extent has the socialist parties’ adherence to the European project transformed their electoral constituency? How has the socio-demographic composition of the social-democratic electorates changed in recent decades? Analysing data from three different sources—(a) elections; (b) parties’ location in the political space; and (c) surveys on voters’ attitudes and opinions—this chapter attempts to provide some answers. By combining the available data, the authors offer a long-term perspective on the ideological, electoral and organisational crisis that hit social-democratic parties in the 2000s in most European countries. Focusing especially on the results of the 2019 European elections, this chapter analyses the most recent changes in the electoral constituency of the European socialist parties and the growing policy congruence between the positions of the social-democratic parties and the opinions of their voters. Oftentimes, that congruence has occurred at the expense of an equally growing in-congruence between the positions of the electorate as a whole and the policies espoused by the social democrats
Punizione o protesta? Il voto ai governi europei

I partiti della Grande Recessione contro i partiti della Grande Depressione. Un nuovo cleavage o un’altra bolla?
No full textIn the wake of the Great Recession many new parties have emerged throughout Europe. By adopting an anti-establishment narrative and oftentimes a populist posture, these parties have challenged the traditional or mainstream political actors which have characterized and structured West European party systems since the end of the Great Depression in the XX century. The present article explores the
emergence of the «Great Recession Parties» and, in particular, it focuses on the main causal mechanisms explaining the recent electoral success of populist parties. More specifically, it evaluates whether and to what extent the populist surge is mainly driven by the economic downturn (the economic insecurity perspective), the reaction to the spread of progressive values in Western societies (the cultural backlash hypothesis) or the collusive behavior of mainstream political parties (the cartelization thesis). In the final sections, the article explores also the consequences of the emergence of populist actors for the dynamics and the stability of West European party systems
Sartori and Italian politics: joy and sorrow
No full textThis article explores Giovanni Sartori’s contributions to the analysis and understanding of Italian politics. Sartori never studied and analysed the case of Italy in ‘splendid’ isolation from other cases. Rather he was at pains to place Italy within a broad and empirically grounded comparative perspective. On the basis of his approach, Sartori repeatedly intervened in the Italian public debate to suggest his own proposals for the improvement of the performance of the political system and, more in general, of the democratic regime. In this article, our discussion of Sartori’s approach and contributions to the field of Italian politics will follow three highly intertwined threads. First, we will deal with the contribution provided by Giovanni Sartori to the analysis and definition of the somewhat elusive Italian party system. Second, we will explore his relevant contribution to the study of electoral systems throughout the world, especially taking into account both the specificities and the oddities of the Italian electoral ‘laboratory’. Third, we will investigate the increasing tensions, especially, but not exclusively, provoked by Berlusconi’s enduring influence on Italian politics, between democratic principles, on the one hand, and the doctrine of liberalism and constitutionalism, on the other. The concluding section will evaluate Sartori’s contributions to the advancement/improvement of political science in Italy, in particular as a discipline capable of acquiring and producing knowledge that can and should be applied
