Political market entropy in Rome. An analysis of different electoral cycles (1993–2023)
This paper explores the dynamics of political market entropy in Rome between 1993 and 2023, analyzing 29 electoral cycles across local, regional, national, and European levels. Using Shannon’s entropy as an indicator of systemic uncertainty, the study examines how the fragmentation of the political offer interacts with voter participation and abstention. Building on previous systemic approaches and the behavioral insights in the scientific litera…
The study of private political finance in Europe
Gendered patterns in candidates’ campaign fundraising
The lack of financial resources is an often-cited hurdle for women pursuing political careers. However, empirical analysis of the dynamics of the private funding of women candidates and its potential implications for their political careers is still scant, particularly for countries outside the anglophone regions. This paper contributes to the scholarly debate by focusing on the gendered patterns in campaign fundraising in Italy, where radical ch…
The End of Cornucopia
This article investigates the dimension and evolution of the financing of political parties. It focuses on 28 parties in the five major European countries (Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain), analysing the parties’ budgets from 2002 to 2016. The article's assessment shows that the availability of funds increased until the beginning of the Great Recession (2008), and then decreased, mainly due to a decline in public support for parties. Diminished…
Running out of oxygen
Electoral competition is quite expensive. The prevalent idea in Western countries is that public funding may contribute to and preserve the system’s fairness and pluralism, defending political parties from the influence of big money. However, the Italian reform of political funding approved in 2014 appears to move in an opposite direction, encouraging political players to extract private sources while discarding public support. Such a choice enta…
Political Party Funding and Private Donations in Italy
Are cartels going private? Italian parties’ organizational faces since the golden age of public financing
Political finance is an important aspect of the study of how power is distributed among the organizational faces of political parties: the party on the ground (POG), the party in central office (PCO) and the party in public office (PPO). The end of the state finance era in Italy (between 2013 and 2017) may have affected intra-party relations, moving political actors towards the (re-)discovery of the financial potential of grassroots and volunteer…
Funding equality
Toward the personalisation of political financing in Italy? Private donations to candidates and parties
Political financing has attracted lot of attention from scholars in recent decades due primarily to the predominant role of public money in the support of parties’ activities. Less attention has been paid to private donations because of the difficulties of finding reliable data and because of the lack of relevance attributed to party budgets. Nonetheless, the international literature suggests that private sources of money should not be neglected …
