Variability in Citizens’ Reactions to Different Types of Negative Campaigns
Segnalazione bibliografica.
American Journal of Political Science (April 2011), Vol. 55, N. 2: pp. 307-325
Autori: Kim L. Fridkin, Patrick Kenney
Abstract
Do negative advertisements lower voters' evaluations of the targeted candidate? We theorize that there is much to be gained by examining the variance in the content and tone of negative campaign messages and the variance in voters' sensitivity to negative political rhetoric. We employ data from the 2006 Cooperative Congressional Election Study to investigate the impact of negative campaigning in U.S. Senate campaigns. We sampled 1,045 respondents in 21 of the 28 U.S. Senate races featuring a majority party incumbent and challenger....
Costly Jobs: Trade-related Layoffs, Government Compensation, and Voting in U.S. Elections
Segnalazione bibliografica.
American Political Science Review (2011), 105: 166-188
Autore: Otam Margalit
Abstract
Does globalization’s impact on the labor market affect how people vote? I address this question using a new dataset based on plant-level data that measures the impact of foreign competition on the U.S. workforce over an 8-year period.

Yet, I also find that between 2000 and 2004, the anti-incumbent effect of trade-related...
Power within Parties: The Strength of the Local Party and MP Independence in Postcommunist Europe
Segnalazione bibliografica.
American Journal of Political Science, Volume 55, Number 4, 1 October 2011 , pp. 923-936(14)
Autore: Margit Tavits
Abstract
This study argues that organizationally stronger local party branches are more powerful within the party than organizationally weaker branches: they can better perform the tasks central to the party, which include communication with, and mobilization of, voters. I further argue that this subunit power should be manifested in the parliamentary behavior and status of MPs: those from districts where the local party organization is strong are more...

The article was published on Italian Political Science can be accessed here.
Abstract
In recent times, technocratic transformations occurring in the governmental arena of European political systems have prompted growing scholarly interest. This study aims to contribute to this flourishing research agenda by examining the features of Italian technocratic ministers, the underpinnings of their government involvement, and the trajectories they have followed after ruling responsibility from 1948 to 2021. The main findings of the study show that: (a) there is a clear gendered pattern in technocratic appointments; (b) university professors are...
The electoral instability in party competition as an evidence of the European crisis
Nell’intervista a Luiss Open del 7 Ottobre 2019, Vincenzo Emanuele presenta i risultati di un recente articolo pubblicato su Government and Opposition e scritto in collaborazione con Alessandro Chiaramonte e Sorina Soare. Riportiamo di seguito il testo integrale dell’intervista.
Professor Emanuele, based on your experience, what are the competences that must belong to a researcher interested in political party systems?
The fundamental feature is flexibility, from two particular points of view. Firstly, “flexibility” in terms of a great international openness: it is necessary to gain experience abroad, to avail of even short periods visiting other universities that deal with issues close to...
