Abstract

'While much has been written about what the European left ought to do to resolve its crisis of decline, this collection takes us much further by starting from what social democratic parties have actually been doing, based on their conduct and programmes during the 2019 European parliamentary elections. This provides a crucial point of departure for future work and study.' -Colin Crouch, Professor Emeritus, University of Warwick, UK, and External Scientific Member, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Germany 'This thought-provoking book addresses the important issues of decline of mainstream parties of the left, and shortfalls in democratic accountability of the European Union. The nationalist/international co-operation cleavage is tending to replace the traditional right/left divide, and the book rightly advocates efforts towards democratisation of the EU as a means of promoting renewal and redefinition of social democratic parties.' -Susan Senior Nello, Associated Professor, University of Siena, Italy This book revolves around several questions. What do the 2019 European elections suggest about the extent to which the mainstream parties of the left are attempting to deal with their decline through an increased emphasis on a more integrated 'social Europe' as opposed to an emphasis on domestically-focussed issues? Given the heightened profile of Europe in domestic politics, the polarisation around Europe, and the way in which media discussion of the domestic implications of EU decision-making can influence the climate of opinion regardless of the actions of domestic party actors themselves, we would expect the social democrats among them to seek to reassert control over the conditions of opinion formation through a renewed emphasis on integration, in contrast to their populist and Eurosceptical adversaries. Finally, the book also asks how well the parties are coping with the internal and external, institutional and political obstacles in the way of pursuit of this agenda. James L. Newell is former Professor of Politics at the University of Salford, UK. His recent books include, Silvio Berlusconi: A Study in Failure (2019); Corruption in Contemporary Politics: A New Travel Guide (2019), and Italy's Contemporary Politics (2020). He is founder and co-editor of the quarterly journal, Contemporary Italian Politics.

Abstract

The book further examines the election outcome, analysing the votes and discussing the impact of the election on the turnover of parliamentary personnel as well as examining the outcome from the viewpoint of government formation. James L. Newell is a former professor of politics at the University of Salford, UK, and currently a visiting professor at the University of Turin, Italy. He is co-editor of Contemporary Italian Politics and the author of Corruption in Contemporary Politics(2018) and Silvio Berlusconi: A Study in Failure (2018). Luigi Ceccarini is a researcher for the Laboratory of Political and Social Studies, LaPolis, at the University of Urbino "Carlo Bo", Italy, where he teaches society and politics. He is co-editor of Comunicazione Politica and the author of La cittadinanza online (2015) and Tra politica e società (with I. Diamanti, 2018).

Abstract

‘In this excellent book, Newell offers a sharp and compelling analysis shedding a critical light on the relationship between European integration and the crisis of social democracy.’ —Arianna Giovannini, Associate Professor of Local Politics and Public Policy, De Montfort University, UK ‘Lucidly written, and with a keen grasp of historical detail and comparative example, this is a fascinating book, essential for understanding the European left’s past and future.’ —Luke March, Professor of Post-Soviet and Comparative Politics, University of Edinburgh, UK ‘Admirably weaving three (red) threads – Brexit; European integration; the attitudes and policies of left-wing parties – Newell has written a highly commendable book.’ —Gianfranco Pasquino, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Bologna, Italy This is a book about European integration and mainstream parties of the left, the main underlying question driving it being: Given that the communist left was fatally wounded by the collapse of the Berlin Wall; given that, since then, the terms ‘left’ and ‘right’ have not infrequently been attacked (especially by populists) as being no longer useful for making sense of politics; given that social democracy, understood as ‘national Keynesianism’ no longer appears to be viable (as reflected in its long-term electoral decline), what does it mean to be on the left in the early 21st century and what can be done to revive its fortunes? Its answer is that being on the left means embracing principles of equality and international solidarity, and that since the nation state is too small to respond effectively to climate change and the other most pressing issues of the present, no viable strategy for left-wing revival in Europe can dispense with European integration as a central element, of which European democratisation is a core component. James L. Newell is former Professor of Politics at the University of Salford, UK, and currently Adjunct Professor of Politics at the University of Urbino Carlo Bo, Italy.

Abstract

This edited volume revolves around two sets of questions. First, what do the 2019 European elections suggest about the extent to which the mainstream parties of the left are attempting to deal with their decline through an increased, common, emphasis on their project for a more integrated, 'social Europe' as opposed to an emphasis on the more 'traditional', domestically-focussed, issues? Given the heightened profile of Europe in domestic politics, given the polarisation around Europe, given the way in which (especially in the countries of the Eurozone) media discussion of the domestic implications of EU decision-making can influence the climate of opinion regardless of the actions of domestic party actors themselves, we would expect the social democrats among them to seek to reassert control over the conditions of opinion formation through a renewed emphasis on integration (as well as its benefits and its potential as a source of identities to rival national, exclusionary identities) in opposition to their populist and Eurosceptical adversaries. To what extent do the campaigns waged by these parties bear out this expectation? Second, how well are the parties coping with the internal and external, institutional and political obstacles in the way of pursuit of this agenda?

Abstract

“This book provides an excellent description of the outcome of the 2022 election in Italy, which saw the rise of Giorgia Meloni and her far right party, Brothers of Italy, to the helm of government. The phenomenon is even more important given that Italy has often been a laboratory for future trends in European politics. The authors make good use of media, survey and official electoral data to analyse the campaign and electoral geography, as well as voting choices and their timing, to provide a vivid account of the election outcome in a country where instability and uncertainty have become the norm.” —Marina Costa Lobo, University of Lisbon, Portugal “This book provides an impressive first analysis of the 2022 Italian elections, the third most volatile elections in Italy’s post-war history, after 1994 and 2013. Its authors document how the widespread economic, cultural and political malaise influenced Italians’ electoral choices. They help us understand how, in the fluid Italian political context, widespread insecurity among voters and resentment against the political elites led to a massive shift to the right and an exceptionally high abstention rate.” —Hanspeter Kriesi, European University Institute, Italy Italian politics has changed course yet again. Thanks to the outcome of the 2022 general election, a coalition dominated, for the first time, by a party of the far right has taken office under Giorgia Meloni, the first woman to serve as prime minister in Italy’s republican history. Italy has always been a kind of ‘political laboratory’ for Western democracies – one in which new political phenomena have developed with considerable potency. Consequently, the electoral analyses presented in this book make it possible for the reader to understand the challenges and related consequences that established democracies are currently facing, beyond Italy.
