To this goal, we focus on the party-voter dyad and we analyze patterns of EU issue voting in first-order national elections in five EU countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands) between 2017 and 2018. We make use of a combination of data from CHES and a public opinion survey to construct the distance measures, and a mix of CHES and Twitter data to measure EU salience. We show that voters are mobilized on the EU, with EU party positions operating as a driving factor of the voting preferences of the electorate and EU salience moderating this relationship.","PeriodicalId":43368,"journal":{"name":"Italian Political Science Review-Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47092989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their notes on the several issues affecting the International Relations understanding of the phenomenon are on the same page as ours and we appear to share similar doubts and a like-minded curiosity on the subject. While grasping some key topics and shedding light on crucial shortcomings in the literature on international change, power transitions and international order, however, their observations do not come unproblematic. In this reply to their timely remarks, we highlight the perks of their argument but also stress how this falls through in providing a complete framework to understand revisionism in international politics.","PeriodicalId":43368,"journal":{"name":"Italian Political Science Review-Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43728992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Joining the fight: the Italian foreign fighters contingent of the Kurdish People's Protection Units","authors":"Edoardo Corradi","doi":"10.1017/ipo.2022.31","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/ipo.2022.31","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Since the emergence of the Islamic State (ISIS) as one of the leading insurgent forces in Syria and Iraq in the 2010s, the academic literature has increasingly focused on the phenomenon of foreign fighters. Most studies have analyzed transnational insurgents joining the ISIS; however, research on non-jihadi foreign fighters remains underdeveloped. The article sheds much-needed light on the factors motivating non-jihadi fighters to join conflicts abroad. Specifically, it presents the findings of an in-depth analysis of the factors leading Italian nationals to join the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG/YPJ)1 after 2011, their military contribution on the battlefield, and their reasons for returning to Italy. The contributions of the paper are twofold. First, it enriches our general understanding of the motivations of non-jihadi foreign fighters through detailed qualitative analysis, including first-hand accounts and an analysis of fighters' biographies. Second, it offers a more complete picture of the specific factors informing the Italian experience of transnational non-jihadi fighters in recent years. The qualitative data highlight the role of non-material factors in triggering the armed mobilization of foreign fighters. The findings indicate that the Italian foreign fighters contingent within the YPG/YPJ and the SDF has been highly committed, made up mostly of young males with no military experience, and had little to no impact on the battlefield.","PeriodicalId":43368,"journal":{"name":"Italian Political Science Review-Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49282917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a fine-grained empirical analysis comparing nine Western countries (Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, UK, USA) and based on a survey of 16,500 citizens, it questions many of the common beliefs about the role of social media in producing echo chambers and enveloping citizens in filter bubbles. It is also a well-written book, enjoyable, showing coherence between conceptualization, hypotheses, and empirical testing. The authors are honest in their conclusions and the book is entertaining featuring interesting vignettes at the beginning of each chapter.

{"title":"The Rise of Entrepreneurial Political Parties in European Politics Vít Hloušek, Lubomír Kopeček, and Petra Vodová. Palgrave, 2020. 228 pp., 90€","authors":"G. Passarelli","doi":"10.1017/ipo.2020.23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/ipo.2020.23","url":null,"abstract":"Political parties are strange animals. The study of them in fact indicates a paradox. Despite many definitions and a vast and consolidated literature grounded on well-established thinking and contributions of outstanding scholars, there is a lack of knowledge on what political parties relay are today. This weakness in understanding is not simply ontologically related to the ongoing and never-ending story of human research especially in social science, it also depends on the fact that the models that have been proposed are somehow limited in their general impact by different biases. The mass party often referred to as the model for political organisation represents in fact the exception, being mostly, and almost exclusively present in western European countries. Other very interesting and useful intuitions, such as the cartel party or the catch-all party are able to photograph some parties, at some point, in a given context but often they do not grasp the essence of what is happening to the most important collective political actor all over the world. It is not an easy task and probably it is inconceivable to go far from a minimal definition of what a party is in order to cover all the organisations falling into the same category. At the same time, the dramatic changes that have invested society and politics since the late Sixties of the 19th century have shown the need for a change and a continuous adaption of the analytical paradigm to define the political parties. This latter impellent push for frequent adaption to real life is remarkably bigger when we move from the organisational approach to the definition of what the political parties’ tasks and functions are. Therefore, we can rely on a good amount of information, literature, and comparative research concerning the organisational aspects and definition of the political party, but we are still searching to catch its fundamental functions, actions, and the reason why it acts in a way or another. The rise of entrepreneurial political parties in European politics represents a timely publication. The topic is hugely overlooked in the literature, and the book courageously published by Palgrave represents a very important contribution that will become a landmark for those dealing with the argument. The book written by Vít Hloušek, Lubomír Kopeček, and Petra Vodová is the arrival point of many kinds of research that they have been carrying around the theme of political leadership. It confirms the vivacity of the research group based at the Masaryk University that is proposing interesting researches from a few years now. The book, which is divided into six chapters, covers four main sub-types of the entrepreneurial political parties. From the theoretical point of view, the authors compare European countries from West to Central and Eastern contexts. They indicate that recently there has been the rise of many ‘new entrepreneurial parties, which have been popping up since the late twentieth century to","PeriodicalId":43368,"journal":{"name":"Italian Political Science Review-Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43152393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
