Strategic voting and effective representation thresholds: Evidence from three Spanish general elections
Segnalazione bibliografica.
European Journal of Political Research, 20/07/2011
Autore: Joaquìn Artés
Abstract
The extent of strategic voting in the Spanish general elections of 2000, 2004 and 2008 is estimated using a new measure of strategic incentives suitable for proportional representation systems that avoids some of the problems associated with lagged variables. Strategic behaviour increased from 12 to 33 per cent of the electoral base of the United Left Party, the major victim of strategic defection. This estimate is a conservative one as elite mobilisation is controlled for in the constituencies, which is unusual in the literature on strategic voting that uses regression-based methods.

Populism and the Italian right
Segnalazione bibliografica.
Acta Politca (April 2011), n.46: pp. 158-179
Autori: Carlo Ruzza, Stefano Fella
Abstract
This paper documents and analyses how populist discourse was used in very different ways by political entrepreneurs of the Italian right, leading to three specific manifestations. The empirical range of populist ideologies is identified through a frame analysis of party materials and connected to the varying political and cultural opportunities of different kinds of parties. However, it is argued that at the same time a common reliance on some common populist tenets constituted an innovative strategy of the Italian right, and that as an ideology one of...
Explaining the impact of new parties in the Western European party systems
Negli ultimi anni, i sistemi di partito dell'Europa occidentale sono risultati permeabili all'ingresso di nuovi partiti. Nuove formazioni politiche hanno ottenuto successi elettorali rilevanti, ottenendo rappresentanza in parlamento e, in alcuni casi, accedendo al governo dei rispettivi paesi. Si pensi, solo per menzionare i casi più noti, al Movimento Cinque Stelle, a Podemos, Ciudadanos e Vox in Spagna, al partito del Presidente Macron (La Republique en marche) in Francia, ad Alternativa per la Germania o ad Alba Dorata in Grecia.
Cosa spiega il successo dei nuovi partiti in Europa occidentale? Quali fattori sono responsabili...

Abstract
Nationalism is generally seen as an issue owned by «traditional-authoritarian-nationalist», typically right-wing parties. However, data on electoral manifestos by the Manifesto Project shows that other formations too adopt nationalist positions. This includes a party family such as Western European social democracy, which traditionally opposed such stances and, as a result, has...
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. Analyzing change in the president's vote share, I find that voters were substantially more sensitive to the loss of local jobs when it resulted from foreign competition, particularly from offshoring, than to job losses caused by other factors. Yet, I also find that between 2000 and 2004, the anti-incumbent effect of trade-related...
