Course aim

The course has an empirical approach, as data analysis goes hand in hand with theoretical explanations. By adopting a comparative and longitudinal perspective across European countries, the course aims at introducing students to the evolution of party systems, party competition and voting behavior in Western Europe over the past decade, with a specific focus on the disruptive changes occurring in recent years. Moreover, the course also provides students with networking opportunities through meetings with leading figures and observers of Italian politics and institutions.
