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…
The new configuration of the Valencian party system. An institutional approach
2018
International audience; The main objective of this article is to explain the evolution of the party system of the Valencian Community (Spain) between 1978 and 2015. We will start from a historical neo-institutionalist approach and a methodology focused on historical analysis (path dependence and critical junctures). It will be centered on the changes produced in political parties, in terms of the Valencian cartelization and identity and its present position. This way, three working sub-hypotheses are to be explained: H1a: parties have had a continuity dynamic that has changed due to abrupt changes in the environment; H1b: political forces have taken advantage of these events to obtain elect…
IndElec: A Software for Analyzing Party Systems and Electoral Systems
2011
IndElec is a software addressed to compute a wide range of indices from electoral data, which are intended to analyze both party systems and electoral systems in political studies. Further, IndElec can calculate such indices from electoral data at several levels of aggregation, even when the acronyms of some political parties change across districts. As the amount of information provided by IndElec may be considerable, this software also aids the user in the analysis of electoral data through three capabilities. First, IndElec automatically elaborates preliminary descriptive statistical reports of computed indices. Second, IndElec saves the computed information into text files in data matri…

Ara es l’hora? The Approach of the Catalan Political Scene to Independence Issues
2016
The political situation in Catalonia during the last months is changing almost daily. Catalan nationalist movements consistently continue their efforts to create an independent state. As a result, every vote – an unofficial plebiscite, local elections or elections to the Catalan parliament – is treated like a referendum on the matter of independence. The Catalan actions that are ever more faster and further-reaching meet with a growing opposition of the central government, threatening the Catalan authorities with a number of sanctions in case of taking further, concrete steps to break away from Spain. Although, from the outside, the Catalan independence parties seem to be a monolith, the si…
A Spanish 'Yes, we can!' against the two-party system: the development of political party Podemos
2017
This article develops an analysis of the internal functioning of the Spanish party Podemos and its structural make-up. The used methodology consists of: 1) a descriptive analysis of the development of Podemos, based on the available information in the media; 2) an analysis centered on the presence of Podemos in social networks and the mainstream media, in addition to electoral results and polls. The analysis attempts to determine the following: the party’s decision-making process, along with the type of relationships established between leaders and supporters; to what extent the Internet is used as a primary tool for organization, mobilization and political propaganda; and the extent of the…
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…
An Overview of Attitude Towards Selected Aspects of Electoral Programs of Polish Political Groups Taking Part in the 2014 Elections to the European P…
2017
Elections to the European Parliament (EP), because of its role in establishing the legal order in member states of the European Union (EU), should become increasingly crucial among all the direct elections in which Poles participate in our country’s political system. But the results of analyses carried out by various research institutions indicate that, in Polish public opinion, the elections to the EP are the least important in terms of the meaning they have for Poles. Since the start of their organization, these elections have consistently come second (in terms of significance) to domestic elections – Presidential, Parliamentary, and local. Yet these elections, for many reasons, were act…
An operator view on alliances in politics
2015
We introduce the concept of an {\em operator decision making technique} and apply it to a concrete political problem: should a given political party form a coalition or not? We focus on the situation of three political parties, and divide the electorate into four groups: partisan supporters of each party and a group of undecided voters. We consider party-party interactions of two forms: shared or differing alliance attitudes. Our main results consist of time-dependent decision functions for each of the three parties, and their asymptotic values, i.e., their final decisions on whether or not to form a coalition.
