Segnalazione bibliografica. Acta Politica 46, 400-424 (October 2011) Autore: Simon Otjes Abstract The List Pim Fortuyn (LPF) is a key example of a family of new right-wing parties that, according to many observers, have had a strong effect on European party systems. This article studies the effect of the entry of the LPF into the Dutch Parliament on the parliamentary party system. The article looks at two aspects of the party system: first, did the LPF affect the issue agenda of the legislature? And second, has the LPF been able to create a new significant line of conflict in the legislature, as Kriesi...

Party system innovation in Western Europe after 1945', Party Politics, Online First, DOI:10.1177/1354068816678887 (.pdf here) http://ppq.sagepub.com/content/early/2016/11/17/1354068816678887.full Abstract Despite the large body of literature on the emergence and success of new political parties in Western Europe, few, if any, attention has been paid to investigate new parties from a systemic perspective, therefore exploring their potential effects on party systems. This article focuses on party system innovation (PSInn), defined as the aggregate level of ‘newness’ recorded in a party system at a given election. After...

The article, published on European Journal of Political Research, can be accessed here. Abstract Despite the huge amount of studies on cleavages, scholars have never elaborated a dynamic model to conceptualize and measure the stages of electoral development of the class cleavage and, specifically, the stage corresponding to its full electoral structuring. To fill this gap, by combining some key electoral properties of...

Il modello prevalente per spiegare i comportamenti degli elettori e le scelte dei partiti si basa sul cosiddetto "teorema dell'elettore mediano", secondo cui i partiti, per vincere le elezioni, devono spostarsi progressivamente verso il centro, fino a diventare indistinguibili l'uno dall'altro. Ma questo modello non funziona. Se funzionasse, dovrebbe vincere sempre chi si trova al centro dello spazio politico, mentre sappiamo che possono avere successo candidati fortemente sfavoriti dalla loro "collocazione spaziale", ovvero lontani dal punto mediano. Determinante a questo proposito è il grado di interesse per la politica: gli elettori meno coinvolti sono maggiormente capaci di esprimere un voto svincolato dall'orientamento politico. Questo interessante modello alternativo, che spiega risultati altrimenti incomprensibili, viene testato sulla base di dati di sondaggi relativi a venti consultazioni elettorali in Italia, in Francia e negli Stati Uniti nell'arco degli ultimi trent'anni.
