Caught between sovereignty and solidarity? A multidimensional revisitation of EU mass–elite congruence
This article undertakes a critical revisitation of mass–elite congruence on EU matters, taking stock of 30 years of research and addressing durable ambiguities flagged by recent scholarship. Its specific contribution leverages EUEngage elite and mass survey data gathered in 2016 in 10 European countries. Examining congruence at both the country and the party level, we carry out an uncommon multidimensional analysis that encompasses general Europe…
The Politics of Responsibility, Charismatic Communities, and Non-Legitimate Domination
The chapter takes as its point of departure the passing of the “Weberian moment” in mid-20th-century social science, characterized by unified narratives of modernization and secularization, an emphasis on broad historically based cleavages, and a focus on the Nation-State as the decisive arena for political decision-making. There are, however, resources in Weberian social thought that allow us to interpret elements of the political present in ins…
Bread or Circuses? Repoliticization in the Italian Populist Government Experience
The majority view within political science is that populism is best understood as a (thin) ideology. We problematize the ideational approach by broadening the scope of analysis, linking populism to the rise of long-term generalized anti-political sentiments, against interpretations that tend to tie the populist wave to conjunctural factors related to recent crises. We argue that the essence of populism lies at the intersection of the ‘material co…
Does Changing Electoral Systems Affect (Corrupt) Particularistic Exchanges? Evidence from the Italian Case
The literature on forms of particularism explores the impact of institutional variables on what is denoted, alternatively, as constituency service, pork-barrel politics, or corruption. Attention has mostly been given to electoral systems, but other institutional provisions and political factors, such as party strength, are also relevant. The present contribution investigates the likely effects of electoral reforms on corruption control and seeks …
Plutocratic leadership in the electoral arena
Kings, jesters, or kingmakers? European populist parties as a microcosm for celebrity politics
The article explores a key aspect in the development of contemporary European populist parties: the celebrity dynamics of their leadership. It presents a systematic comparison of leaders from the main populist parties, exploring the correlation between leadership visibility, fame, and the ideological and organisational characteristics of parties. Furthermore, it investigates the subset of leaders whose public notoriety predates their political in…
Italy 2018
The March 2018 Italian general elections caused a sea change in the political system. The article seeks to analyse the elements of novelty present in the vote and the subsequent political developments by focusing on the victorious parties, the Lega and the Five-Star Movement. Their ideological appeal is placed within the context of the Europe-wide surge of populist parties, but also traced back to the long-term determinants of political dissatisf…
Democracy
Paul Cartledge, an Emeritus Professor of Greek Culture at Cambridge University, has written a very engaging and detailed, but not forbiddingly technical, description of “people power” from Ancient Greece to the present. In keeping with the author’s expertise, if biography is the narrative trope of Democracy: A Life, then it is most definitely a Bildungsroman: more than two-thirds of the book cover events in Greece up to 322/1 BC; contemporary eve…
Legitimacy and Revolution in a Society of Masses
Questions surrounding the concept of legitimacy—the force that keeps a polity together, and whose absence causes it to shatter—are possibly the most important concern of a study of politics. M. F. N. Giglioli examines the shift to a distinctly modern understanding of the concept in Continental Europe, following the crisis of liberal rationalism in the late nineteenth century, and the search for new ways of envisaging the determinants of collectiv…
Legitimacy, Charisma, and Disenchantment. Max Weber
The Self as Legitimate Target
Both Giuseppe Mazzini and M.K. Gandhi were proponents of an uncompromisingly ethical approach to politics, and both were obliged to confront the appeal of violence. Their tactics, while in many ways opposed, elicited similarly intense controversies. Mazzini was widely believed to have condoned terrorist aggressions, while encouraging insurrectional acts with little or no hope of success. Gandhi, for his part, was accused of irresponsible naïveté …
Naissance littéraire du fascisme
Uri Eisenzweig is a professor of French and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University. He has written on the existentialists, on the fin-de-siècle crime novel, and on the Jewish imagination. Most notably, he is the author of Fictions de l’anarchisme, published with Bourgois in 2001. The aim of this earlier work was to explore the connection between the wave of terror bombings in Paris in 1892–94, the anarchist rejection of the concept of repre…
Il deputato della bellezza’. Gabriele D'Annunzio's aesthetic politics in the fin-de-siècle crisis
Two aspects of Gabriele D'Annunzio's tenure in parliament (1897–1900) are explored. The first concerns the means with which literary fame could be converted into political capital in fin-de-siècle Italy. By studying D'Annunzio's strategy, an attempt is made to define the features of his aesthetic politics. Relying methodologically on the sociological study of intellectuals, the article contributes to the historiographical/theoretical debate regar…
