To understand the present we must look to the changes of recent years. That’s what makes this book, reconstructing the evolution of electoral results, organization and political personnel of the major Italian political parties since 1995 in six Italian regions: Lombardy, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, Latium and Sicily. The survey is unique in its kind, demonstrates how the parties at the regional level have gained increasing autonomy from the national center. This is mainly due to the aggregation capabilities of consent from the local leaders, even in the face of a decline in traditional local structures, in past times based on the sections and the militancy of members. The leadership have in fact so concentrated in their hands the organizational resources that they no longer need the base. In essence, on the one hand, it confirms the process of personalization and empowerment of the parties, on the other hand, the decomposition of their traditional structure does not seem to have produced a different form of organization.
McDONNELL Duncan, MAZZOLENI Oscar (2013) Directly Elected Mayors and their Parties: The Cases of Genoa and Lausanne. Government and Opposition, Volume 48 – Special Issue 03.
While the literature on directly elected mayors has largely neglected the relationship between mayors and their parties, studies of party transformation have generally ignored how changes in local democratic rules and practices affect parties. This article addresses these questions using a qualitative case study of the relationship between mayors and the three faces of their parties (in local public office, local central office and on the ground) in Genoa and Lausanne. Based on interviews with the mayors, elected representatives and party members, it finds in the two cases that, as long as these mayors can count on high levels of popularity and are not nearing the end of their term, they are ‘party detached’. When these factors do not apply and/or party institutionalization increases, the relationship with the party in local central office (although not with the party in local public office or on the ground) becomes more significant.

In classical party democracy, elections serve as an “instrument of democracy” (Powell 2000): they are the mechanism to connect policy preferences of the electors to the political production. At the European level the linkage seems to be lost because the political actors performing in the two arena are not the same and the logics of behaviour are quite different. The EU calls for truly “Europarties” to become more democratic in its procedural and substantive prerequisites and this entails not only a progressive emancipation of party structures at European level but also an integration between them. The main aims of this paper are, firstly, to investigate if and to what extent political parties at European level are able to perform the electoral and legislative functions in the two separated arena and, secondly, if intra- and extra- parliamentary faces of the Europarties are still separated or, rather, have become integrated.

The implementation of the Lisbon Treaty has increased the role of the EP thus changing the balance of power with other EU institutions, as the Council of Ministers, the European Council and also the new High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (HR). This new situation conveys more powers and responsibilities to the EP and to its main actors, the so-called Europarties. Aim of this paper is to analyse whether Europarties share the same attitude towards the existence of a EU common foreign and defence policy, and what are the main conceptual frames adopted by each Europarty on some of the main EU foreign and defence issues. Europarties’ positions are analysed through a discourse analysis approach in order to understand their ideas towards three fundamental institutional frameworks of the EU foreign policy: the Lisbon Treaty, the existence of the CFSP and the existence of the CSDP (and the European Defence Agency).
McDONNELL D., (2013) Silvio Berlusconi’s Personal Parties: From Forza Italia to the Popolo Della Libertá. in Political Studies, Volume 61, 2013.
Despite the electoral success of Silvio Berlusconi’s two political parties, little theoretical and empirical work has been done on Forza Italia (FI) and the Popolo Della Libertà (PDL – People of Freedom).This article aims to fill these gaps. Following a short overview of the history of FI and the PDL, it discusses how scholars have conceived of Forza Italia. Building on the criteria of Joseph LaPalombara and Myron Weiner for the definition of a political party, a first operational definition is then offered of the term most used to classify FI and the PDL: the ‘personal party’. On the basis of this, the article considers whether the PDL is another personal party akin to Forza Italia.This is done, first, by briefly considering the party statute and communications and, second, by examining the views expressed in interviews conducted across Italy with PDL elected representatives and ordinary party members.

This article addresses the issue of the growing concern surrounding the Eu’s «democratic deficit» resulting from the expansion of the Eu’s competences. In particular it raises the question of whether the development of genuine Europarties competing in a European party system could be sufficient to promote and assure democratic government at Eu level. The article discusses the ways in which integrated parties and party systems operate in «normal» democracies and perform functions that are conducive to a correct functioning of the political system. It then examines the current state of affairs at Eu level, by assessing the nature and character of Europarties as well as whether a genuine European Party system exits in the Euro-arenas in which parties are expected to compete. Finally the paper analyses the potential impact of the political and institutional changes induced by and surrounding the Lisbon Treaty on Europarties and their system. The conclusions of such analysis are somewhat contradictory: while the development of a real European party system within might enhance accountability and responsiveness, it might come at the cost of the developing capacity of the parties to represent and articulate the diversity of voices that are found in the Eu.

In the last decade, one of the major veins in political science has been the development of empirical researches on the impact of public funding on political competition. To a lesser extent, academic debate has focused on the effects of political finance regimes on party organisations. In this respect, scholars have hypothesised the existence of a relationship between the increasing need for public funding and a progressive shift of internal power from the Party in Central Office to the Party in Public Office, at the expense of the Party on the Ground. The aim of this article is to test this hypothesis by analysing the evolution of budget and organisation of four Italian political parties (Pds-Ds, Ppi-Dl, Fi, An) from 1994 to 2004: what we expect to find is a massive need for public subsidies to survive environmental changes accompanied by a tendency to centralisation of power within their organisations.

Political Parties has been important actors in the European integration process. Since 2003 new EU regulations has facilitated (and funded) the development of Political Parties at the European Level. This book, after having drawn the general organizational framework and the functions of all the other Europarties, focuses on the Party of the European Left. This Europarty, despite its aspirations, is still quite far to include all the national parties of the alternative left. This demonstrates the weak homogeneity of this political family in comparison to the popular (the former Christian-Democrats), the socialist, the liberal, and the green family. This book reveals that the main points of distinction amongst the alternative left parties are based on the different ideas they have about the integration process, and the soviet experience.
