Abstract

ABSTRACT Polarising issues, polarising narratives, polarising leaders: this is the picture suggested by Italian politics in the 2018–20 time-frame. The article introduces the concept of leader polarisation and suggests a Leader Polarisation Index (LPI) to trace the recent evolution of the Italian party system. After the 2018 general election, the Italian political space experienced rapid change marked by the weakening of tripolarism, the re-emergence of bipolarism and the rise of elite-driven polarisation. The analysis of voters’ perspective through use of survey data reveals the increasingly divisive role of the Lega’s leader, Matteo Salvini.

领导人两极分化:意大利政治制度的冲突与变化

两极分化的问题、两极分化的叙事、两极分化的领导人:这是2018 - 2020年意大利政治的图景。本文引入了领导人两极分化的概念，并提出了一个领导人两极分化指数(LPI)来追踪意大利政党制度的近期演变。2018年大选后，意大利政治空间经历了快速变化，三极主义减弱，两极主义重新抬头，精英驱动的两极分化抬头。通过使用调查数据对选民观点进行分析，揭示了联盟党领导人马泰奥·萨尔维尼(Matteo Salvini)日益分裂的角色。
