Effects of Teaching Practices on Life Satisfaction and Test Scores
Schools present an ideal setting for intervention. We demonstrate that a greater prevalence of group discussion used in schools positively affects students' life satisfaction and noncognitive skills, and has no negative impact on test scores, based on a sample from the 2015 PISA, which includes more than 35 thousand students from approximately 1500 schools in 14 countries. We perform regressions of student life satisfaction on school‐level group …
L’oralità nello spazio della storia pubblica del lavoro
L’articolo utilizza i metodi della storia orale e lo spazio creato dall’oralità stessa per esplorare come le persone e i soggetti collettivi maneggiano il passato – per ragioni diverse e attraverso percorsi anche molto distanti tra loro – in relazione al lavoro. Sulla scorta di una tradizione di storia pubblica che proprio nelle vicende delle classi subalterne ha trovato linfa e riflessioni metodologiche, nel corso del testo verranno problematizz…
The Ecology of Happiness—A Conversation with Stefano Bartolini
In episode 9 of Mapping the Planetary, hosts Hagen Schulz-Forberg and James Quilligan welcome Stefano Bartolini, Associate Professor at the University of Siena, whose research explores Political Economy, Social Economy, and the Economics of Happiness. Together, they ask a fundamental question: Can economic prosperity coexist with genuine human well-being and planetary sustainability? The conversation examines how modern economies might evolve bey…
Actors and structures in politics
This manuscript reports, with minor variations, the opening Key Lecture of the Italian Political Science Association Conference held in Trieste on September 12, 2024. This text consists of tentative but hopefully not random thoughts on the topic of the relationship between ‘actors’ and ‘structures’ in politics. It defends some lines of research that the author regards as definitely needed in the current state of the discipline. It covers a great …
Costruire la storia, mattoncino su mattoncino. La “Public Brickstory”
Nel contributo, dopo aver delineato come l’azienda LEGO ha rappresentato nei propri sets i temi storici e militari, esamineremo anzitutto il fenomeno socioculturale della “Lego History”, ovvero gli appassionati lego che si dedicano a soggetti e a costruzioni a tema storico. Secondariamente, discuteremo alcuni possibili impieghi dei lego – in quanto “media” con una forte presa sul pubblico – ai fini della Public History, trattandone le problematic…

Responsive and Responsible? The Role of Parties in Twenty-First Century Politics
This special issue focuses on a particular aspect dear to theories of democracy in general and theories of representation in particular: the tension between responsiveness and responsibility affecting political parties in modern, liberal democracies. In doing so, it engages with Peter Mair's intellectual passion for this topic, which he developed over the years and intensively worked on until his premature death in 2011. He argued that this tensi…
Party adaptation and change and the crisis of democracy
This article is the introduction to a special issue of articles written in honour of Peter Mair. The general theme of the issue is party adaptation and change, which is traced here through an analysis of contributions by Peter Mair as an individual author or with co-authors. The result is an assessment of the current state of the art of what can be cumulatively considered Peter Mair's theory of party adaptation and of the debate it has generated …

Restructuring Europe
This study focuses on the historical configuration of territorial borders and functional boundaries of the European nation states, and interprets integration as a process of transcendence, redefinition, and shift of those same boundaries that alters the nature of the nation states’ domestic political structures. The core of the argument concerns the relationship between the institutional design of the new Brussels centre, the boundary redefinitio…
La formations des clivages
L’article décrit les éléments de base nécessaires à l’élaboration d’une théorie des clivages. Il propose une définition du concept de clivage et développe un certain nombre de propositions concernant leur formation, la séquence historique d’apparition des conflits et des oppositions, ainsi que les types de limites sociales qui sous-tendent les clivages. Les trois composantes essentielles des clivages, à savoir leurs fondements social, normatif et…
The Italian Party System between Parties and Coalitions
This article discusses the changes in the Italian party system that took place across three elections (1994, 1996 and 2001) following the adoption of the new mixed electoral system. From the point of view of the candidates, parties and coalitions contesting the elections, the configuration is not yet stabilised. From the point of view of voters’ behaviour, volatility remains high and strategic choices are notably limited. These problems notwithst…

The Political Mobilization of the European Left, 1860-1980
The Political Mobilization of the European Left, 1860–1980
In an in-depth comparative analysis, Stefano Bartolini studies the history of socialism and working-class politics in Western Europe. While examining the social contexts, organizational structures and political developments of thirteen socialist experiences from the 1880s to the 1980s, he reconstructs the steps through which social conflict was translated and structured into an opposition, as well as how it developed its different organizational …
Collusion, Competition and Democracy
In the first part of this work, published in the Journal of Theoretical Politics 11(4), I discussed the nature of competitive interaction as opposed to other types of social interaction such as conflict, negotiation and cooperation. I subsequently analysed the relationship which exists between political competition and the two basic aspects of democratic accountability and responsiveness. Finally I introduced four concepts (`contestability', `ele…
Collusion, Competition and Democracy
This article deals with the concept and the problem of political competition and collusion with particular reference to democratic accountability and responsiveness. It starts with a discussion of the essence of competitive interaction with respect to other types of conflictual, negotiative or cooperative interactions. The relationship between competition and various conceptions of democracy is then discussed, identifying four independent dimensi…

Did the Decline in Social Connections Depress Americans' Happiness
On Time and Comparative Research
The essay argues why the comparative method has been amply debated in reference to cross-cultural synchronic research, while less attention has been devoted to the problems of its application to temporal variance. Three central method-issues are discussed: (1) the definition of `temporal units' of analysis; (2) the special character of cross-time generalizations versus cross-spatial ones; and (3) the problem of historical multi-collinearity. The …
Policy competition, spatial distance and electoral instability
This article assesses the extent to which spatial distance accounts for variations in levels of aggregate electoral mobility, following the hypothesis that more extended distances result in less mobility. Distances are derived from an analysis of the economic policy content of election programmes in eleven West European democracies between 1945 and 1985. Two indices are devised, one measuring the distance between the most extreme parties, and the…

Electoral transition’ and party system change in Italy
This account assesses the relevance of the principal party and electoral changes of the 1990s for the functioning of the Italian party system. Focusing on the interactive structures of the party system, it evaluates change in four dimensions: the number of units constituting the system; interaction between those units; the distribution of their electorates; and the prevalent dynamics of competition. This analysis demonstrates how much the Italian…
Plurality competition and party realignment in Italy
This paper deals with the 1994 Italian elections to both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. It discusses: the new electoral system introduced for these elections; the realignment of the Italian party system since the previous election; patterns in the election results and the implications of these for the future. The paper argues that crucial differences in electoral law explain differences in the pattern of Senate and Chamber results. Consi…

La Volatilità Elettorale
IntroduzioneNelle scienze sociali sono utilizzati di frequente concetti importanti e ricchi di significato teorico che, però, non si prestano facilmente ad essere operazionalizzati e misurati nemmeno in modo indiretto. Il concetto di volatilità elettorale non appartiene a questo gruppo; anzi, rappresenta un esempio, tipico quanto raro, della situazione inversa. Sin dall'inizio della sua relativamente recente intrusione nel gergo degli studi elett…
La Competizione Maggioritaria
IntroduzioneMaggioritario, ma non troppo. Così si può riassumere sinteticamente il risultato delle elezioni politiche del 27 marzo 1994. Non c'è dubbio infatti che la componente maggioritaria del sistema elettorale abbia funzionato, ma è altrettanto vero che da sola non è bastata ad impedire uno degli effetti più significativi e sorprendenti di queste elezioni: un Parlamento diviso. Camera e Senato hanno due maggioranze diverse, o meglio, la Came…

Come Perdere Una Maggioranza. La Competizione Nei Collegi Uninominali
IntroduzioneA dispetto delle attese e dei pronostici di molti, non c'è stato pareggio. Il voto ha prodotto un vincente: la coalizione di centro-sinistra formata dai partiti dell'Ulivo e da Rifondazione Comunista. Nelle elezioni del '94 il risultato non era stato così chiaro. Allora, emerse un «Parlamento diviso»: i Poli di Berlusconi vinsero nettamente alla Camera, ma sfiorarono solo la maggioranza assoluta dei seggi al Senato. Anche questa volta…
Majoritarian miracles and the question of party system change
The 1996 elections in Italy may be evaluated using a dual means of inquiry: which novelties (or the absence thereof) appear with respect to 1994? And, how many and in what way (if any) do they contribute to the definition of a new type of party system and a new logic of political competition? As regards the former perspective, we address three questions which represented fundamental issues at the time of the vote: (a) Would the new electoral syst…
How to lose a majority
Few observers expected that the 1966 elections in Italy would yield a clear–cut outcome. Even fewer people expected that, after the disastrous results of the previous elections, the centre–left coalition would be able to gain a majority of seats in both branches of Parliament. Yet this is precisely what happened on 21 April 1996. This article tries to explain the comeback of the 1994 losers by focusing on three factors which have changed the elec…

Cosa È «competizione» in Politica E Come Va Studiata
I termini «competizione politica», «elettorale» o «partitica» figurano nei titoli e nei testi di ricerca politica con crescente frequenza, ma con significati molto diversi. Per lo più, il termine è generico e si riferisce all'intero processo elettorale e parlamentare. Nei modelli formali esso indica le strategic dei partiti nei quadro ristretto di assunti sulle motivazioni, preferenze e informazioni. Nella letteratura sulla teoria democratica la …
The politics of institutional reform in Italy
This article reviews the recent Italian debate on possible constitutional and institutional reforms aimed at improving governmental decision‐making capacity. In the first section, the post‐war institutional developments are briefly discussed to show how the present problems have emerged. Various reform proposals affecting the electoral system, Parliament and government are then analysed, together with the political pre‐conditions and consequences…
Tempo E Ricerca Comparata
IntroduzioneQuesto articolo raccoglie una serie di riflessioni metodologiche attinenti al disegno della ricerca preferito dall'autore: una ricerca comparata che combina dimensione di variazione spazialeetemporale. Nel corso del lavoro si cercherà di giustificare tale preferenza. Tuttavia, l'obiettivo principale rimane quello di confrontare questa strategia di ricerca con altre e di porre in rilievo alcune questioni di metodo che le sono specifich…
Les élections parlementaires de 1994 en Italie. Compétition majoritaire et réalignement partisan
L'examen du régime électoral introduit pour les élections de 1994, du réalignement du système de partis depuis les élections précédentes ainsi que des structures relevées dans les résultats de ces élections permet de constater que ce sont des différences dans la loi électorale qui expliquent les différences dans la structure des résultats entre le Sénat et la Chambre. Si l'on analyse la structure régionale du vote, on s'aperçoit que seule la part…
Per Un'analisi Dei Rapporti Tra Partiti Socialisti E Comunisti in Italia E Francia
IntroduzioneL'attualità del tema generale dei rapporti tra socialisti e comunisti in Italia e Francia risulta evidente semplicemente guardando alla messe dei lavori giornalistici ad esso dedicati in tutte le piú importanti riviste del mondo occidentale. La rilevanza politica di questi rapporti necessita ancor meno di essere sottolineata in un periodo in cui le chances politiche della sinistra nel complesso sono crescenti in entrambi i paesi
Linguaggio Politico E Sociologico
IntroduzioneLo sviluppo e I'arricchimento del linguaggio specialistico è una precondizione per l'avanzamento di ogni disciplina. Le enciclopedie, i dizionari e i' manuali hanno sempre rappresentato tappe di grande importanza in questo processo e il loro sviluppo è un po' 10 sviluppo della specializzazione scientifica e della frammentazione del-l'unità culturale del mondo classico e medievale. Le grandi enciclopedie del passato rappresentavano inv…
La Sinistra Nei Sistemi Partitici Europei (1917–1978)
Introduzione Nella sua originale analisi dello sviluppo storico della struttura dei sistemi partitici europei Stein Rokkan sottolinea che la frattura di classe originata dalla rivoluzione industriale è quella che ha reso i sistemi partitici europei piú simili tra loro per quanto riguarda il «paesaggio» partitico. Infatti, se «la maggior parte della variazione tra i sistemi» può essere interpretata in base alla natura dei cleavages preindustriali,…
Gli Iscritti Ai Partiti Di Massa
Introduzione Tra i più importanti contributi che gli studi sul comportamento elettorale hanno offerto alla comprensione delle società contemporanee vi è certamente il riconoscimento della complessità dei processi attraverso i quali la varietà dei ruoli sociali, culturali, economici e politici degli individui si traducono in scelte politiche ed elettorali. Non che la sociologia classica fosse inconsapevole di tali complessità; piuttosto, la modern…

Sistema Partitico Ed Elezione Diretta Del Capo Dello Stato in Europa
Introduzione Al tempo della prima guerra mondiale tutti i paesi europei ad eccezione della Francia e della Svizzera erano retti da monarchie. Vi era sconosciuta la figura di un Capo dello stato, che risulta quindi un'istituzione molto recente nell'esperienza europea. In quanto sostituto funzionale della figura monarchica quella del Capo dello Stato fu influenzata profondamente, nel bene e nel male come vedremo, da questa e dai conflitti che nella…

Spazio Politico E Mobilità Elettorale
IntroduzioneIl problema della stabilità/instabilità elettorale è da tempo un tema centrale nell'analisi delle tendenze elettorali dei paesi dell'Europa occidentale. Tra la fine degli anni sessanta e la prima metà degli anni settanta una forte ondata di mobilità elettorale è sembrata scuotere un gran numero di sistemi partitici, minando i tradizionali allineamenti ed imponendo una profonda riconsiderazione di quelle tesi di stabilizzazione che fin…
I Primi Movimenti Socialisti in Europa. Consolidamento Organizzativo E Mobilitazione Politica
Introduzione Questo saggio tratta della relazione tra socialismo politico-elettorale e socialismo corporato; cioè fra forme di rappresentanza politica e di rappresentanza degli interessi nei primi movimenti socialisti europei, fra il 1860-1880 e il 1940. Il tema è affrontato sotto la duplice dimensione del consolidamento organizzativo e della mobilitazione degli aderenti. La prima si riferisce al processo di instaurazione e consolidamento di orga…

Les élections parlementaires de 1994 en Italie
Le système de partis italien
De 1992 à 1994, la concrétisation de tendances durables ‐ l'importance décroissante des identités politiques et sous‐cultures communistes et catholiques ‐ l'impact immédiat de scandales politiques majeurs, et le succès concomitant d'un mouvement multi‐partisan en faveur de réformes électorales et institutionnelles ont mené à une réforme drastique du système électoral parlementaire italien en direction d'un scrutin majoritaire. Cet article a pour …
