From Breakthrough to Breakdown? Analyzing the Pirate Party of Luxembourg through a Supply-and-Demand Framework
Why top politicians are pessimistic or optimistic about democracy and its evolution
Politicians' Theories of Voting Behavior
While political scientists regularly engage in spirited theoretical debates about elections and voting behavior, few have noticed that elected politicians also have theories of elections and voting. Here, we investigate politicians' positions on eight central theoretical debates in the area of elections and voting behavior and compare politicians' theories to those held by ordinary citizens. Using data from face-to-face interviews with nearly one…
Pieces of the puzzle? Coalition formation and tangential preferences
The similarity of parties' policy preferences has long been considered an important determinant of whether they form a government coalition. That similarity has typically been assessed based on parties' respective locations in a policy space. The degree to which parties care about different issues may, however, also vary. Parties that care about different issues may actually be the most compatible partners, as their tangential preferences would a…
A comparison of two views on the European Commission: Engine of Integration and Conduit of National Interests
The conventional view of the Commission is that it is above the fray of national \npolitics, and that Commissioners have allegiance to pan-European interests. \nHowever, research indicates that the Commission is in many ways imbued \nwith national interests, despite being the engine of integration. This study \nexamines the national Commissioner dividend, which is the tendency for the \nCommission’s policies on any given issue to agree more with …
L’instrumentalisation de la religion dans l’Empire ottoman à l’époque de l’expansion européenne (1800-1914): Un parcours à travers les fondements historiques des politiques turques d’aujourd’hui
This article focuses on the use of religion by the Ottoman central power in order to prevent the loss of territories (and populations) from the end of the 18th century until the beginning of the 20th century. Especially after the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca, the Ottoman ruler and his entourage decided to use his caliphal status in two different directions. On the one hand, the symbolic leadership of the Ummah claimed by the Sultan was mobilized in r…
Les Systèmes d’Aide au Vote « orientés candidats »: État des lieux et potentiels pour la recherche
Alors que la littérature portant sur les Systèmes d’Aide au Vote (SAV) a tendance à se focaliser sur les instruments positionnant les utilisateurs par rapport aux partis politiques, cet article invite le lecteur à s’intéresser de plus près au potentiel scientifique des SAV « orientés candidats », qui sont toujours plus nombreux et permettent aux électeurs de se positionner par rapport aux candidats. Il propose à cette fin un état de la littératur…
The duration and durability of cabinet ministers
This article surveys the growing research programme on the duration of cabinet ministers. It examines some of the conceptual and methodological issues confronting research, including the nature and measurement of durability, ministerial terms and techniques. It considers some of the theories and hypotheses that have been generated by researchers. Using evidence from studies from around the world, it argues that institutional factors, including re…
Du socialisme ottoman à l’internationalisme anatolien

Who gets what in coalition governments? Predictors of portfolio allocation in parliamentary democracies: Who Gets What in Coalition Governments
Ministerial portfolios are the most obvious payoffs for parties entering a governing coalition in parliamentary democracies. This renders the bargaining over portfolios an important phase of the government formation process. The question of 'who gets what, and why?' in terms of ministerial remits has not yet received much attention by coalition or party scholars. This article focuses on this qualitative aspect of portfolio allocation and uses a n…

Does European Integration Lead to a `Presidentialization' of Executive Politics: Ministerial Selection in Swedish Postwar Cabinets
In this article, we address recent claims that executive— legislative relations in parliamentary democracies are undergoing important changes owing to either a `presidentialization' or a `Europeanization' of domestic political systems. Therefore, we test empirically whether parliamentary democracies are indeed experiencing changes in executive—legislative relations and whether these developments can, in part, be explained by an increase in Europe…

Combining large-nand small-nstrategies: The way forward in coalition research
Current research on coalition formation is plagued by two serious problems. First, we cannot predict more than about one-third of the Western European governments, and, second, we do not have a good understanding of the causal mechanisms that explain the effects found in large-n coalition studies. This article illustrates that by combining statistical and case study analyses we can solve these problems. Since statistical analyses are well equippe…

Do Belgian parties undermine the democratic chain of delegation
The Belgian party-archy violates the ideal-type chain of parliamentary delegation in many ways, insofar as political parties play a predominant role at each stage. They channel the delegation of power from voters to MPs, from Parliament to the cabinet, from the collective cabinet to individual ministers, and from ministers to their civil servants. Hence, they can be considered the effective principals in the polity, and many actors of the parliam…
Party system(s) and electoral behaviour in Belgium: From stability to balkanisation
Belgium has one of the most fragmented party systems of any modern democracy. This article asks the following questions: is party fragmentation linked to the importance of the ethno-regionalist vote or to the rules of the electoral system? Has party fragmentation also produced centrifugal or polarised multipartyism (between the regions, but also within Flanders, given the spectacular rise of the Vlaams Blok)? What explains the difference in party…
Policy with or without parties? A comparative analysis of policy priorities and policy change in Belgium, 1991 to 2000
This paper confronts two models of policy: the party model states that policy-making is an orderly process initiated by parties implementing their party programme and carrying out their electoral promises; the external pressure model contends that policy change is a non-orderly process but rather a disjoint process coming in large bursts that are difficult to predict. Drawing upon eight policy agendas in Belgium covering the period from 1991 to 2…

Why so few, and why so late? Green parties and the question of governmental participation
Green parties have been represented in the parliaments of European Union countries since 1981, but it was not until recently that a few have entered national governments. Using a data set comprised of 51 government formation opportunities (where the Greens were represented in parliament), the authors of this article show that the parties involved in these bargaining situations are more office‐oriented than earlier studies had found. As Green part…

Freemasonry in Turkey: A by-product of Western penetration
Towards the middle of the nineteenth century, various European Masonic obediences set up lodges throughout the Ottoman empire, many in Istanbul, while another important centre was Smyrna. Freemasons were also active in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Cyprus and Macedonia. Lodges were established in the main political, economic and cultural centres of the Empire. There was a strong parallelism between the Ottoman Masonic geography and that of European colo…

Le poids de l'alévisme dans la Turquie d'aujourd'hui
Les Alevis, sectaires d'Ali, representent environ le tiers de la population turque. Les sunnites les traitent d'heretiques, car les Alevis negligent ou rejettent, dans une mesure variable selon les groupes, des points essentiels de l'islam. Malgre la diversite de leurs pratiques religieuses, les Alevis restent une population coherente, sociologiquement, et peuvent un jour poser des problemes d'affrontement plus graves que jusqu'a present
