Voting Advice Applications and Their Impact on Ideological and Affective Polarization
Political polarization has been one of the most researched topics in political science over the past few years. While many scholars focus on the factors that foster ideological and affective polarization, less is known about the drivers of depolarization. In this article, we are addressing this gap by investigating the potential effects of using voting advice applications (VAAs) on both the ideological polarization of vote choice and the level of…
Comparison of problem-based and team-based learning strategies
Objectives Over time, pedagogical practices in higher education have evolved significantly, which has led to the development of collaborative learning strategies. The study aims to compare the two most prominent ones – problem-based learning (PBL) and team-based learning (TBL). The comparison, integrated with Virtual Scenarios (VSs), involves student cohorts from various European institutions, specifically focusing on both PBL and TBL methods. Th…
Estimating Intra-Party Preferences
Well-established methods exist for measuring party positions, but reliable means for estimating intra-party preferences remain underdeveloped. While most efforts focus on estimating the ideal points of individual legislators based on inductive scaling of roll call votes, this data suffers from two problems: selection bias due to unrecorded votes and strong party discipline, which tends to make voting a strategic rather than a sincere indication o…
Pre‐Election Positions and Voting Behaviour in Parliament
This article examines the determinants of positional incongruence between pre‐election statements and post‐election behaviour in the Swiss parliament between 2003 and 2009. The question is examined at the individual MP level, which is appropriate for dispersion‐of‐powers systems like Switzerland. While the overall rate of political congruence reaches about 85%, a multilevel logit analysis detects the underlying factors which push or curb a candid…
Politiques intérieure et extérieure
5.1. La Suisse et l’ONU Suite au message du Conseil fédéral relatif à l’initiative pour l’adhésion de la Suisse à l’ONU, du 4 décembre 2000, les deux Chambres fédérales ont chacune, avec une large majorité et sans contre-projet, recommandé au peuple suisse de voter en faveur de l’adhésion le 3 mars 2002. Le Conseil fédéral ne ménage pas ses efforts pour soutenir cette adhésion. La question de la neutralité helvétique a été au centre des débats et…
