Le primarie fiorentine: competitività, elettori e strategie
No full textSince 2005 primary elections have become an intriguing theme of discussion in Italy and, above all, an interesting topic for many political scientists. This research deals with this specific topic from an innovative and original point of view. Specifically, this article addresses the role played by party elites during the period called «invisible primary». The authors use several methods of data analysis: surveys, network analysis, content analysis. Furthermore, the two cases of municipal primaries selected (Bologna 2008 and Florence 2009) allow to generate relevant hypotheses about the consequences of this particular method of candidate selection within and outside political parties. Many scholars consider primaries as a threat for the survival of the political parties, whereas others feel that primaries are a panacea for every kind of crisis experienced by these organizations. The article assumes a more realistic perspective: primary elections may differ in many respects, they may be more or less «controlled» by party leaders, and, finally, they may be more or less competitive. Different primaries, differently regulated, produce different winning candidates and stimulate the mobilization of different voters: this is the main finding of the article
Beyond the crisis ... resilience and adaptation. Italian political parties and their organizational transformations
No full textThe Partito Democratico after the 2013 elections: all change?
No full textThis article analyzes the changes that occurred within the Partito Democratico (PD, Democratic Party) from the fiasco of the general election in February 2013 until the European elections in May 2014, focusing in particular on the extent to which the presence of a new, distinctive type of leadership has contributed to such transformations. The first section describes the most relevant events affecting the party in the period considered, such as the failure to gain a parliamentary majority, the problematic re-election of Giorgio Napolitano as President of the Italian Republic, the transition from Pier Luigi Bersani to Matteo Renzi as party leader, and the transition from Enrico Letta to Renzi as Prime Minister. The following sections deal with questions of renewal in the party’s organization, with an emphasis on the key role played by Matteo Renzi as the new leader. To achieve its goal and explain how the PD has changed in recent months, the article resorts to the well-known framework of the three party faces proposed by Katz and Mair
