Con questo articolo inauguriamo una nuova rubrica del sito web CISE, ovvero le "Interviste CISE". Si tratta di una rubrica volta a divulgare quella parte dell'attività di ricerca dei membri del CISE che, avendo meno attinenza con la quotidianità della politica italiana, è spesso poco visibile sul nostro sito. Si tratta invece di un'attività fondamentale, che produce pubblicazioni su riviste scientifiche italiane e internazionali, e che orienta l'attività e gli interessi di ricerca del CISE nel lungo termine. Oltretutto, divulgare quest'attività a un pubblico vasto e non specializzato è sempre più un obbligo fondamentale per il ricercatore sociale. Tuttavia, un...

As a result, research on this matter has established itself as one of the most developed agendas in comparative politics. However, despite the abundance of studies on the drivers of government stability, the ruling...

This article analyzes the results of the Italian municipal elections held in May 2011. First, we make a simple count of the municipalities won by the various political blocs, and secondly we make a comparison with the results of regional elections of 2010. We have compared data concerning both the electoral performances of political blocs and those of the political parties who appeared in this election. We also present the results as disaggregated data, both from a demographic standpoint and from a geographical point of view. The analysis shows a clear electoral defeat of the center-right coalition, both in terms of municipalities lost and in terms of percentages of votes obtained. The fact that these two phenomena have occurred especially in the North, its traditional area of electoral strength, makes this defeat particularly significant. The center-left coalition, due to the difficulties of its opponent, gets a good result in terms of number of municipalities won, while not improving its performance in terms of percentages of votes obtained. The centrist coalition, finally, does not get a great performance in terms of votes obtained, but it often proves decisive in forcing the other two coalitions to the second ballot.
