Institutionalization of party systems. A focus on Kurdistan Region of Iraq party system (1991/2016)
2019
ABSTRACT (SPANISH) Este estudio es un análisis cualitativo profundo de la naturaleza de la institucionalización del sistema de partidos en la región de Kurdistán de Iraq. Si bien el desarrollo de sistemas de partidos robustos a menudo se considera crucial para las democracias industriales, los sistemas de partidos en las regiones de Kurdistán, como muchas otras democracias nacientes, se han desarrollado con bastante lentitud. En cambio, la política partidista se caracteriza por una elevada tasa de volatilidad electoral, sólidas relaciones cliente-patrocinador, muchas fragmentaciones, nepotismo y falta de vínculos partidarios entre los electorados y las élites políticas. Esta tesis examina p…
Single-Target Implicit Association Tests (ST-IAT) Predict Voting Behavior of Decided and Undecided Voters in Swiss Referendums
2016
Undecided voters represent a major challenge to political pollsters. Recently, political psychologists have proposed the use of implicit association tests (IAT) to measure implicit attitudes toward political parties and candidates and predict voting behavior of undecided voters. A number of studies have shown that both implicit and explicit (i.e., self-reported) attitudes contribute to the prediction of voting behavior. More importantly, recent research suggests that implicit attitudes may be more useful for predicting the vote of undecided voters in the case of specific political issues rather than elections. Due to its direct-democratic political system, Switzerland represents an ideal pl…
Young Scottish National Party (SNP) Members’ National Identity and Party Membership
2021
Scotland’s future in the United Kingdom seems to be uncertain. Even though a majority of Scottish people voted to remain in the UK in 2014, the EU referendum two years later fuelled the independence movement in Scotland. Scholars show that the Scottish independence referendum encouraged people to join political parties, particularly the Scottish National Party. This work focuses on young people. Party membership scholars agree that they are underrepresented in parties. Given that the SNP seem to be rather successful in appealing to young people, this thesis explores SNP youth membership and the reasons why young Scots make the decision to join the party. It shows that Scottish independence …
Le parti des travailleurs brésilien : de son émergence à la conquête du Planalto (1979 - 2002)
2016
The Brazilian Workers’ Party (PT) is an outstanding experience of a left-wing mass party. When it was born in 1980, many people wondered about its nature. In 2002, when Lula became the President of Brazil, this question did not deserve the same answer. The PT became bureaucratic, institutional and professional, experiencing a sort of accelerated Social-Democratization. As its starting point, this study takes the specificities of labour movement, trade unionism and the dictatorship (1964-1985) in Brazil. The PT originated in 1979-80 from mass social struggles around “authentic” trade unionists (such as Lula), left-wing Catholics, far-left activists, the left-wing intelligentsia and some “pro…

Diritti di partecipazione politica e piattaforme digitali, alcune riflessioni
2022
Questo scritto affronta il tema dell’impatto dei social networks sui diritti di partecipazione politica, con riguardo al diritto all’informazione, al diritto di associarsi in partiti, al diritto di voto come esito di campagne elettorali digitali. Il mutamento della comunicazione politica e del dibattito pubblico refluisce sulla correttezza dei processi democratici; ciò pone l’esigenza della regolazione dei social networks quale spazio mediatico utilizzato dai soggetti politici (individui od organizzazioni) per influenzare la formazione dell’opinione pubblica e costruire il consenso a proprio favore, soprattutto nell’ambito delle campagne elettorali. L’articolo si sofferma, dunque, sui probl…

Partiti populisti, diritti e uguaglianza di genere
2021
The Great Recession changed the political landscape of the European democracies with the electoral success of populist protest parties in different countries. In this article, we wonder if there are features that characterized these political parties about the issues of gender equality and women’s rights. Populism and feminization of politics are recurring topics in the scholars’ debate, but the relationships between these two phenomena are still little studied. Seeing as the issue is linked to context, and not only to the political parties’ differences, we will focus on three illustrative cases, in different European nations – Spain, Finland, Poland – analysing scientific literature and do…
Populist parties in Europe, from propaganda to legal reforms: whether freedoms of expression, association and religion are under threat?
2018
The effect of the recent populist legislative tendencies results in sharpening new and old tensions between national and international legal orders and, in the European Union scenario, in particular, the most alarming outcome could be a potential and systematic breach of the European Convention on Human Rights and the liberal democratic values expressed in it. Regarding the argument of the enforcement, nevertheless, besides the importance of the international recommendations and soft law instruments, above all the EU Guidelines on the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief, it could be crucial the role that the religious leaders should perform towards a more inclusive int…
