This time it’s different? Effects of the Eurovision Debate on young citizens’ and its consequence for EU democracy – evidence from a quasi-experiment…
2017
For the very first time in EU history, the 2014 EP elections provided citizens with the opportunity to influence the nomination of the Commission President by casting a vote for the main Europarties’ ‘lead candidates’. By subjecting the position of the Commission President to an open political contest, many experts have formulated the expectation that heightened political competition would strengthen the weak electoral connection between EU citizens and EU legislators, which some consider a root cause for the EU’s lack of public support. In particular, this contest was on display in the so-called ‘Eurovision Debate’, a televised debate between the main contenders for the Commission Presiden…
Voters’ preferences and electoral systems: the EuroVotePlus experiment in Italy
2016
Motivated by the need to understand voting behaviour under different electoral rules, Laslier et al. (Eur Union Polit, 16(4):601–615, 2015) have conducted an online experiment, the EuroVotePlus experiment, focusing on the effects of the different rules adopted to elect members of the European parliament on voters’ behaviour.

Then, we exploit the change from open list to closed list elections implemented in…
Politiskās komunikācijas lomas analīze Eiropas Parlamenta vēlēšanās.
2016
Šis pētījums sniedz secinājumus, kas ir balstīti uz politiskās komunikācijas argumentācijas analīzi, par to, kā pašreizējā analītiskā pieeja politiskajā zinātnē var tikt pārveidota attiecībā uz Eiropas Parlamenta (EP) vēlēšanu analīzi. Šis darbs koncentrējas uz politiskās komunikācijas raksturu EP vēlēšanu laikā Zviedrijā 2014.gadā, lai izpētītu to, vai politiskā komunikācija bija vairāk svarīga ES vai nacionālā līmeņa jautājumiem. Šī darba sākumpunkts ir mūsdienu kritika par otrās šķiras vēlēšanu teoriju un tās analītisko modeli, kuru 1980.gadā attīstīja pētnieki Reifs un Šmits. Saskaņā ar Reifu un Šmitu EP vēlēšanas tiek uzskatītas par otrās šķiras svarīguma vēlēšanu procesu un, kur polit…
