Measuring political representation in Italy
Giovanni Sartori's party system theory
This research note traces the evolution of Sartori's theoretical reflection on the party system, primarily by describing the relationship between “format and mechanics” to assess its explanatory power. The main conclusion of the analysis is that Sartori's framework has all the elements of an empirical party system theory. A systemic theory of party relations does not have to explain party behaviour but only the combined effect, in terms of the sy…
The social roots of self development
Democracy in the ‘Void
Peter Mair’s final contribution to political science was an indictment of the state of democracy based on his career-long study of party and party system adaptation in comparative contexts, as well as on an analysis and reflection on the nature and causes of the tension between responsiveness and responsibility for party government. The essays in this issue demonstrate that the concerns that underpinned Peter Mair’s work are still central to the …
Automatic imitation
0.95, 95% CI [0.88, 1.02]. Moderator analyses identified automatic imitation as a flexible, largely automatic process that is driven by movement and effector compatibility, but is also influenced by spatial compatibility. Automatic imitation was found to be stronger for forced choice tasks than for simple response tasks, for human agents than for nonhuman agents, and for goalless actions than for goal-directed actions. However, it was not modulat…
Political Parties, Responsiveness, and Responsibility in Multi-Level Democracy
This article addresses and observes the crisis of Western democracy through the lens of the weakness of parties and party government, especially at the European Union (EU) level. Social stratification changes, global trends and ultimately the sustained economic crisis have placed political parties at the national and the EU level under enormous strain. Moreover, demands posed by the crisis on national governments by the EU have generated conflict…
The first time ever I saw your feet
Inversion effect in biological motion perception has been recently attributed to an innate sensitivity of the visual system to the gravity-dependent dynamic of the motion. However, the specific cues that determine the inversion effect in naïve subjects were never investigated. In the present study, we have assessed the contribution of the local gravity-dependent motion (i.e., the orientation of individual dot trajectories) and the global configur…
Responsive and Responsible? The Role of Parties in Twenty-First Century Politics
This special issue focuses on a particular aspect dear to theories of democracy in general and theories of representation in particular: the tension between responsiveness and responsibility affecting political parties in modern, liberal democracies. In doing so, it engages with Peter Mair's intellectual passion for this topic, which he developed over the years and intensively worked on until his premature death in 2011. He argued that this tensi…
Party adaptation and change and the crisis of democracy
This article is the introduction to a special issue of articles written in honour of Peter Mair. The general theme of the issue is party adaptation and change, which is traced here through an analysis of contributions by Peter Mair as an individual author or with co-authors. The result is an assessment of the current state of the art of what can be cumulatively considered Peter Mair's theory of party adaptation and of the debate it has generated …
Old logics for new games
This article seeks to identify the main dimensions of the conflicts that arose around the choice of the European Union’s first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (HR). The article aims at developing a series of frames to describe systematically the nested games that surrounded the appointment and emphasise the interactions between party politics, institutional dynamics and intergovernmental bargaining. In the absence of a…
Forty Years of Political Science in Europe
In 2010, the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) celebrated its fortieth anniversary as the leading association for political science in Europe. Forty-one years earlier, in 1969, three European political scientists sent a letter to about a dozen of their European colleagues outlining some suggestions for creating an informal network of institutions and centers interested in comparative politics research. The authors of the letter we…
Party organisational change in Italy (1991–2006)
This article analyses, adopting the well-known approach of Katz and Mair, the issue of organizational change within Italian political parties since 1990. In addition to an account of trends in membership, local units, finances, staff, and of changes in party statutes, the article aims at testing the widespread view in the literature that organizational resources–hence power–are becoming more and more concentrated in the hands of party and/or parl…
ECPR Fourth Biennial General Conference, September 6–8, 2007, University of Pisa, Italy
The Pisa conference was also the occasion for presenting three of the ECPR's prizes. The first was the ECPR's Lifetime Achievement Award for an outstanding contribution to European political science, which went to an American: Philippe Schmitter (European University, Florence, and formerly Stanford University). Second, the annual Jean Blondel Ph.D. Prize was awarded to Tanja Aalberts (Leiden University) for her dissertation on the politics of sov…
The Parameters of Party Systems
Despite the scepticism that increasingly surrounds their role and standing in contemporary democracies, scholarly interest in political parties continues unabated. But this interest is also proving uneven, with relatively little attention now being given to the study of party systems. More specifically, the level of theoretical interest in party systems remains limited, with almost no substantial innovations being made since the publication of Sa…
Electoral change and its impact on the party system in Italy
The importance of electoral change as a factor of party system transformation in post-1992 Italy is evaluated by observing two distinct components of electoral change: changes in electoral behaviour and changes in the electoral law, and their impact in the different arenas (electoral, parliamentary, etc.) in which parties compete as individual independent actors or as components of more or less organic coalitions. The analysis of numerous party s…

Enlarging the European Union
The European Union's enlargement towards Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries is a highly complex issue and one that has dominated politics of Europe's pan-regional relations for last decade. The process that could eventually lead to EU accession by ten or more states of former Eastern bloc and Yugoslavia informally began with first manifestations of Euro-enthusiasm new-born CEE democracies (particularly Poland and Hungary) in early 1990s…
Transnational Trends in European Parties and the 1994 Elections of the European Parliament
The main objective of this report is to assess the impact of institutional factors and elections on the transnationalization of European parties and on the evolution of the European Union's (EU) party system. Institutional factors, which are effective during the European Parliament's (EP) legislative term, appear to favor the consolidation of the longerestablished and larger EP party groups (EPP, PES, LDR) and ultimately of the EU party system. B…
Anti‐party sentiment and party system change in Italy
This article attempts to assess (a) the extent to which anti‐party sentiment has been a factor in Italy's current political changes, with particular reference to the party system; (b) whether such changes can in turn be considered to be a preliminary step towards the rejection of the party‐based model of democracy. Elite and mass indicators, whose values rose sharply at the end of the 1980s and culminated in the early 1990s, reveal that anti‐part…

Rappresentanza E Parlamento Europeo
Introduzione Uno degli interrogativi principali posti dalle elezioni a suffragio universale del Parlamento Europeo riguarda la loro capacità di fornire, se non immediatamente almeno nel medio periodo, una legittimità autonoma alla Comunità Europea. Sul piano analitico, questo significa che per uno studio sull'evoluzione della Comunità occorre stabilire se il Parlamento direttamente eletto riuscirà a sostituirsi alle fonti attuali (essenzialmente …
Voto Di Preferenza E Competizione Intra-Partitica Nelle Elezioni Europee. Prospettive Per Una Armonizzazione Della Legge Elettorale
Introduzione Per la prima volta nel 1989 le elezioni europee potrebbero essere regolate da un'unica legge elettorale, valida per tutti gli stati membri∗. In precedenza, nel 1979 e nel 1984, le elezioni si svolsero in base a norme elettorali nazionali, in genere molto simili a quelle utilizzate in ciascun paese per le elezioni parlamentari nazionali, anche se dei tentativi di uniformare le procedure furono compiuti anche nel corso della prima legi…

Preference Voting and Turnover in Italian Parliamentary Elections
In an election of the Chamber of Deputies, Italians vote for a party list, but may additionally select up to three or four particular candidates within it. While the party votes determine the allocation of seats among parties, the individual preference votes determine which candidates will be elected. Only about 35 percent of the possible preference votes are cast, but they play an important role in parliamentary renewal. It is shown that the abi…
