ABSTRACT

Since 2013, the Italian party system has been in turmoil as the old bipolar structure has been swept away by the emergence of new competitors and skyrocketing voter volatility. Instead of being characterized by stabilization, the 2018 general election continued to show turmoil, with a substantial shift in the balance of power among parties and electoral poles. This article tests the hypothesis that since 2013 Italy has been experiencing a process of party systemde-institutionalization, meaning a context in which the interactions of inter-party competition remain unstable and unpredictable over time. To do so, it analyses the patterns of stability and predictability in the three arenas (electoral, parliamentary and governmental) where inter-party competition can be detected, adopting a twofold comparative perspective: a diachronic perspective comparing the 2013–2018 period with the previous Italian republican era; a cross-national perspective (using an original dataset covering 372 elections and legislatures, and 670 governments) comparing Italy since the War with the corresponding period in nineteen other Western European countries. The article paints a rather clear picture: in the period following the 2013 elections the Italian party system is de-institutionalized like very few others in Western Europe’s post-1945 history.

Vincenzo Emanuele è ricercatore in Scienza Politica presso la LUISS Guido Carli di Roma. Ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca in Scienza della Politica presso la Scuola Normale Superiore (ex SUM) di Firenze con una tesi sul processo di nazionalizzazione del voto in Europa occidentale e le sue possibili determinanti. La sua tesi ha vinto il Premio 'Enrico Melchionda' conferita alle tesi di dottorato in Scienze Politiche discusse nel triennio 2012-2014 e il Premio 'Celso Ghini' come miglior tesi di dottorato in materia elettorale del biennio 2013-2014. È membro del CISE, di ITANES (Italian National Election Studies) e co-coordinatore del Research Network in Political Parties, Party Systems and Elections del CES (Council of European Studies). I suoi interessi di ricerca si concentrano sulle elezioni e i sistemi di partito in prospettiva comparata, con particolare riferimento ai processi di nazionalizzazione e istituzionalizzazione. Ha pubblicato articoli su Comparative Political Studies, Party Politics, South European Society and Politics, Government and Opposition, Regional and Federal Studies, Journal of Contemporary European Research, oltre che sulle principali riviste scientifiche italiane. La sua monografia Cleavages, institutions, and competition. Understanding vote nationalization in Western Europe (1965-2015) è edita da Rowman and Littlefield/ECPR Press (2018).

Alessandro Chiaramonte

Alessandro Chiaramonte è Professore ordinario in Scienza politica presso l’Università di Firenze, dove insegna Sistema politico italiano ed Elezioni, partiti e opinione pubblica. Laureato nella facoltà di Scienze Politiche "Cesare Alfieri" dell'Università di Firenze, ha conseguito il titolo di Dottore di ricerca in Scienza politica nel 1996. È stato Research fellow presso la London School of Economics and Political Science. Fondatore e membro del Centro Italiano di Studi elettorali (CISE), è anche componente del comitato direttivo della Società Italiana di Scienza Politica (SISP), della Società Italiana di Studi Elettorali (SISE) e dell'Associazione Studi e Ricerche Parlamentari. Sotto il profilo della ricerca, si è occupato dello studio di vari aspetti della transizione politica italiana, con particolare riferimento alle elezioni e alle riforme istituzionali introdotte e progettate ai vari livelli di governo. Più recentemente è impegnato inoltre nell'analisi della trasformazione dei sistemi partitici, sia di quello italiano sia in prospettiva comparata soprattutto europea. Su questi temi ha scritto vari saggi. E' autore di "Tra maggioritario e proporzionale. L’universo dei sistemi elettorali misti" (Il Mulino, 2005). Ha curato (con Roberto D'Alimonte) "Il maggioritario regionale. Le elezioni del 16 aprile 2000" (Il Mulino, 2000), "Proporzionale ma non solo. Le elezioni politiche del 2006 (Il Mulino, 2007), "Proporzionale se vi pare. Le elezioni politiche del 2008" (Il Mulino, 2010) e (con Giovanni Tarli Barbieri) "Riforme istituzionali e rappresentanza politica nelle regioni italiane" (Il Mulino, 2007) e "Il premio di maggioranza" (Carocci, 2011). Tra il 2002 e il 2004 è stato consulente del Consiglio regionale della Toscana nella predisposizione della nuova legge elettorale e della legge sulle primarie.
