Non-competitive Elections at the Local Level and the Incumbency Advantage of Mayors – Research Experiences from Poland

2021

The objective of this paper is an attempt to answer if non-competitive elections to commune councils in Poland may be the result of incumbency advantage of mayors. The author assumes, that the effects of incumbency advantage of mayors in influence not only the competition for the office of mayor, but also the entire local political scene. These effects may weaken the competitiveness of elections and lead to the cartelisation of local political scenes.

The paper analyses relationships between the competitiveness of elections at the lo…

Les partis politiques et la représentation proportionnelle.

2015

International audience; Depuis l’avènement de la Cinquième République, la revendication en faveur de la représentation proportionnelle (RP) - pour la désignation des députés - a été récurrente, et même quasi-unanime, de la part des formations d’opposition ou minoritaires : la RP apparaît comme la promesse de disposer de positions institutionnelles et de participer – s’agissant des élections législatives – au jeu parlementaire. Même le candidat du parti dominant, Nicolas Sarkozy, admettait en 2007 « la possibilité d'introduire un peu de proportionnelle au Sénat ou à l'Assemblée nationale sans créer le risque d'une instabilité qui serait désastreuse. » Aujourd’hui encore, la plupart des forma…

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…
