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…
Civil Society in the 2004 Romanian Elections: Watchdog, Involved Arbiter or Political Actor?
2010
Abstract Civil society has proven outstanding capacities of involvement in the 2004 general elections in Romania and put a remarkable pressure on the political society. This paper aims to discuss the consequences of such involvement for both the political and civil society. We also investigate the conditions that have favoured a successful challenge of the main political actors by the most visible civic advocacy organizations. Further, we inquire how deep can an actor from the civil society go into the lands of the political society. In the end, we weight the achievements and the failures of civil society’s active involvement in the game of elections.
Stabilność polityczna i personalna władz w warunkach alternacji i ciągłości rządów
2017
Celem rozdziału jest analiza stabilności polskiej sceny politycznej w wymiarze politycznym i personalnym. Przejścia i rozłamy w klubach parlamentarnych oraz zmiany w ramach gabinetów rządowych w trakcie V, VI i VII kadencji Sejmu poddane zostały analizie ilościowej i jakościowej. Pozwoliła ona sformułować wnioski o stabilności struktur władzy ustawodawczej i wykonawczej. Analizie poddano okres 10 lat, obejmujący trzy kadencje Sejmu oraz pięć gabinetów rządowych. Głównym problemem badawczym jest określenie, na ile zmiany w politycznym i personalnym składzie organów władzy wykonawczej i ustawodawczej odzwierciedlają polityczną stabilność całego systemu politycznego. Pod uwagę wzięto trzy kade…

Politycy o przestępczości - charakter i uwarunkowania debaty medialnej
2016
Politycy w sposób oczywisty stają się uczestnikami medialnej debaty o bezpieczeństwie. Jest to konsekwencja zarówno obiektywnego znaczenia problemu, jak i powszechnego zainteresowania tą tematyką wśród medialnej publiczności, którą stanowią potencjalni wyborcy. Rozdział jest próbą rekonstrukcji debaty o przestępczości prowadzonej przez polityków w przestrzeni medialnej. Refleksja obejmuje okres istnienia III Rzeczypospolitej i, uwzględniając główne wątki tematyczne oraz punkty zwrotne, które w jakiś sposób redefiniowały tę debatę, zmierza do wskazania czynników warunkujących kształt i dynamikę dyskusji o przestępczości. Spośród najważniejszych zmiennych finalnie należy wskazać na uwarunkowa…
Global Spaces for Local Politics: An Exploratory Analysis of Facebook Ads in Spanish Election Campaigns
2021
[EN] Sponsored content on Facebook has become an indispensable tool for implementing political campaign strategies. However, in political communication research, this channel is still unexplored due to its advertising model in which only target audiences are exposed to sponsored content. The launching of the Facebook Ad Library in May 2018 can be considered a turning point in this regard, inasmuch as it now offers users direct access to ads paid for by political parties, among other advertisers. This paper analyzes some aspects of the strategies implemented by six national parties during the campaigns running up to the two general elections held in Spain in 2019, by performing an analysis o…
From fringe to fringe: the shift from the clericalist League of Polish Families to the anticlericalist Palikot Movement 2001–2015
2017
The period between 2001 and 2015 brought two events in Poland that deserve to be called phenomena. In 2001 the rightist, clericalist League of Polish Families entered the Sejm. Ten years later, the leftist, anticlericalist Palikot Movement achieved spectacular success in the 2011 elections. These events give a picture of a radical shift in the Polish political scene: a rightist clericalist party disappeared from the right flank of the political scene, while a new, leftist-anticlericalist formation appeared. The article makes reference to a set of five explanations on both the causes and consequences (and permanence) of the observed changes. I argue that only a concurrence of a number of com…
To Show, But Not to Disclose. The Willingness of Polish Political Parties to Disclose Information On their Structures
2018
Abstract Constituting the key element of a democratic system, political parties are among entities obliged by the Polish legislator to comply with the principle of disclosure by providing public information. The main objective of this paper is to determine the level of Polish political parties’ disclosure, understood here as their willingness to disclose information on their own structures. It seems that the practice of disclosing such basic organizational data may constitute a specific measure of Polish political parties’ respect for the idea of disclosure. The subject matter of the conducted research was particular parties’ sites in the Public Information Bulletin as well as their officia…
