Out of the ivory tower: An explanation of the policy advisory roles of political scientists in Europe
The relevance and impact of political scientists’ professional activities outside of universities has become the focus of public attention, partly due to growing expectations that research should help address society’s grand challenges. One type of such activity is policy advising. However, little attention has been devoted to understanding the extent and type of policy advising activities political scientists engage in. This paper addresses this…
Southern Europe Managing the First Phase of the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Crucial Effect of Timing
This article, which introduces a special issue, compares the record of five South European states – Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Turkey – in managing the initial phase of the Covid-19 pandemic. Southern Europe’s reputation for low state capacity, political polarisation and weak health systems all posed potential obstacles to an effective governmental response. However, despite these shared characteristics, these countries’ records in Covid…
The Limits of Power Concentration and Expert Knowledge in Emergency Management: Spain’s Government Response during the First Phase of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Focusing on the central government’s response to the Covid-19 crisis during the first wave in Spain, the article analyses the executive’s strategy of power concentration, and the factors that shape its implementation. We sketch how the crisis erupted, the main measures and strategies adopted by the national executive, the role of the experts, and the interaction with other political actors and institutions. We also explore the second phase and ho…
Late but not least? Spanish political science’s struggle for internationalisation in the twenty-first century
Having experienced a late institutionalisation as an academic discipline in the 1990s, during this century the political science community in Spain has struggled to converge with other fully established counterparts in Western Europe. In this article, we analyse and evaluate how successful these efforts have been concerning internationalisation. The article sheds light on the factors that explain this development. Using data from PhD dissertation…
The triumph of partisanship: Political scientists in the public debate about Catalonia’s independence crisis (2010–2018)
Participation in the public debate constitutes one of the most evident avenues for political scientists to demonstrate the social relevance of the discipline. This article focuses on two questions: the types of roles political scientists adopt in their public interventions and the potential tensions between their public engagement and the epistemic norms regulating academic and research activities. We investigate these questions in the context of…
In search of relevance: European political scientists and the public sphere in critical times
Social relevance has become a key element to assess the social legitimacy of an academic discipline. This contrasts with a widespread sentiment among political scientists about the existence of a relevance gap. The context of multiple crises Europe has experienced since the late 2000s has provided political scientists with a multitude of opportunities to demonstrate the social relevance of their work and the usefulness of the discipline. This int…
Explicando el activismo entre los miembros de las juventudes de los partidos políticos
Este trabajo se centra en el activismo de los miembros de las organizaciones juveniles de los partidos políticos. El propósito es examinar tres diferentes modelos de activismo partidista: voluntarismo cívico, incentivos generales y socio-psicológco. Se utiliza una encuesta original realizada a los miembros de las organizaciones juveniles de los partidos políticos españoles (n=2144) con información sociodemográfica, antecedentes sociales y medidas…
Assessing the Impact of Age, Cohort and Period Effects on Partisanship and Support for Mainstream Parties: Evidence from Southern Europe
The article examines the link between time effects and dealignment in Southern European countries, which allows us to assess the relative importance of short- and long-term factors on the political instability of the region during the Eurocrisis. First, we analyse life cycle, cohort and period effects on partisan identities across countries. Second, we investigate to what extent time-related factors have been responsible for the erosion of the vo…
The Rise of (Faulty) Euroscepticism? The Impact of a Decade of Crises in Spain
Euroscepticism in Spain has so far constituted a marginal phenomenon. A decade of political and economic crises could, however, be setting the stage for rising Spanish opposition to the European Union (EU). By analysing recent survey data and party manifestos, we verify to what extent this might be the case. We find that both public and party-based euroscepticism has gained ground in the traditionally euro-optimist Spanish context over the period…
Economic crisis and party responsiveness on the left–right dimension in the European Union
The economic crisis within the European Union has had a significant impact on domestic politics in the member states, affecting the links between parties and citizens and accentuating the tensions parties face between governing responsibility and being responsive to public opinion. This article examines whether parties in EU countries have shifted their left–right ideological positions during the current crisis and whether such shifts are a direc…
Party-voters Congruence Concerning the European Union: An Analysis of Its Evolution During the Eurozone Crisis Using Elite and Mass Surveys
In this paper I analyze to what extent the Eurozone crisis has affected the representativeness of parties’ positions with respect to the issue of European integration. Public opinion data and many analyses have provided evidence that, since 2010, public support for the European Union (EU) has dramatically declined. In contrast, existing data on party positions indicates considerable stability in this area, particularly among mainstream parties. H…
Politicians, experts or both? Democratic delegation and junior ministers in Spain
The Perception of the European Union by Political and Economic Elites in Spain
Elite perceptions about Europe are very important in understanding the current trajectory of the European integration process, as well as the future perspectives for the continent. In this article, we present the main descriptive results of an empirical analysis looking at the attitudes of Spanish political and economic elites along the three dimensions of the IntUne project: representation, identity, and scope of governance. We examine the set o…
Mechanisms of Policy Change: A Proposal for a Synthetic Explanatory Framework
Since the early 1990s, the theoretical debate on policy change in the field of policy studies has been clearly dominated by three major reference approaches – the advocacy coalition framework (ACF), the punctuated-equilibrium theory (PET), and the multiple streams approach (MS). Their success led the reference approaches to evolve separately without explicitly establishing communication across theoretical boundaries. This has greatly limited the …
Identity and Representation in the Perceptions of Political Elites and Public Opinion: A Comparison between Southern and Post-Communist Central-Eastern Europe
European Union integration and the inherent processes of political development and institution building are shaped by interactions between elites and masses. In their initial steps, scholars noted
