Abstract

This article provides a descriptive account of changes to the Spanish party system against the backdrop of both the recession, the string of high-profile corruption cases and tensions around an increase in pro-independence sentiment in Catalonia, with all these circumstances contributing to an upturn in political discontent and protest. Changes to the party system came gradually. First came the economic and political situation leading to defeat of the socialist party (PSOE – Partido Socialista Obrero Espanol) in the 2011 general election and then the erosion of dominance of Spain’s two main parties in the elections held in 2014 and 2015. Finally, the results from the general election of 20 December 2015 seemed to open a new electoral era for the Spanish party system, one characterized by greater fragmentation and polarization, the arrival of new political forces and the need for coalitions to form governments.
危机、变化与不确定性:大衰退后的西班牙政党制度
本文描述了在经济衰退、一系列引人注目的腐败案件以及加泰罗尼亚支持独立情绪高涨的紧张局势的背景下,西班牙政党制度的变化,所有这些情况都导致了政治不满和抗议的上升。政党制度的变化是逐渐发生的。首先是经济和政治形势导致社会主义党(PSOE - Partido Socialista Obrero Espanol)在2011年大选中失败,然后是西班牙两大政党在2014年和2015年举行的选举中的主导地位受到侵蚀。最后,2015年12月20日大选的结果似乎为西班牙政党制度开启了一个新的选举时代,这个时代的特点是更大的分裂和两极分化,新的政治力量的到来,以及组建政府需要联盟。

期刊介绍: The Portuguese Journal of Social Science is a peer-reviewed cross-disciplinary journal focusing on research about Portuguese society by scholars of any nationality. However, the journal takes a broad view and accepts articles that are not exclusively devoted to the Portuguese case. We particularly welcome comparative studies. While the journal concentrates on research articles it operates a flexible policy in respect of other types of submission, including book reviews.
