Nicola Maggini Young People’s Voting Behaviour in Europe. A Comparative Perspective Palgrave Macmillan UK, 2016 ISBN: 978-1-137-59243-9 (online)  978-1-137-59242-2 (print) DOI: 10.1057/978-1-137-59243-9 Abstract: This book uses various concepts of ‘age’ to examine young people’s voting behaviour in six European countries between 1981 and 2000.

The analysis shows that leading candidates retain a more stable and predictable support over time with respect to parties...

In this article, after a theoretical discussion on the concept of Euroscepticism, we provide an updated classification of Eurosceptic parties after the 2014 European Parliament elections. We...

Cosa succede in città? Le elezioni comunali 2016 a cura di Vincenzo Emanuele, Nicola Maggini e Aldo Paparo Il successo del Movimento 5 Stelle, con le vittorie storiche di Roma e Torino; le difficoltà del centrosinistra, con il PD di Renzi che subisce per la prima volta una pesante battuta d’arresto; la tenuta del centrodestra che dimostra, quando è unito, di essere ancora un polo competitivo. Il tutto in un contesto di crescente astensionismo, volatilità e frammentazione del quadro politico, con la stragrande maggioranza delle sfide decise solo al ballottaggio e la presenza di leader locali e candidati civici competitivi in diverse...
