The dissertation starts from the analysis of some trends in the contemporary Italian party system, which suggest that it is going through a turbulent phase of change. The elements taken into consideration in this phase of the analysis concern the growth of abstentionism among citizens, the growth of electoral volatility among those who go to the polls and the rapid increase in popularity of parties that are on the cleavage of anti-establishment protest.

L’elaborato prende avvio dall’analisi di alcune tendenze presenti nel sistema partitico dell’Italia contemporanea, le quali suggeriscono che esso stia attraversando una fase di cambiamento turbolenta. Gli elementi presi in considerazione in questa fase dell’analisi riguardano la crescita dell’astensionismo tra i cittadini, la crescita della volatilità elettorale tra coloro che si recano alle urne e il rapido aumento di popolarità dei partiti che si collocano sul cleavage della protesta anti-establishment. Allo scopo di indagare alcune delle cause del cambiamento in atto e poter meglio comprendere tali fenomeni, saranno in seguito considerate le recenti evoluzioni di due tra i principali attori coinvolti: i partiti e l’elettorato. Per quanto concerne i primi, ne saranno tratteggiati i mutamenti attraverso l’esposizione di alcuni dei modelli di maggior successo elaborati da diversi autori a partire dall’inizio del XX secolo, con particolare attenzione per le tesi più recenti. Per quanto concerne l’elettorato, verranno tratteggiate alcune tendenze impattanti sui sistemi valoriali individuali, che per alcuni autori si sarebbero poi ripercosse nel rapporto con i partiti stessi (oltre che nella percezione della politica in senso ampio). Particolare attenzione sarà dedicata ai mutamenti correlati all’avvento della società del consumo e all’affermazione dell’individualismo.

Abstract
The dissertation starts from the analysis of some trends in the contemporary Italian party system, which suggest that it is going through a turbulent phase of change. The elements taken into consideration in this phase of the analysis concern the growth of abstentionism among citizens, the growth of electoral volatility among those who go to the polls and the rapid increase in popularity of parties that are on the cleavage of anti-establishment protest. To investigate some of the causes of the ongoing change and to better understand these phenomena, the recent evolutions of two of the main actors involved will be considered below: the parties and the electorate. Regarding the former, the changes will be outlined through the presentation of some of the most successful models developed by various authors since the beginning of the 20th century, with particular attention to the most recent theses. As regards the electorate, some of the trends impacting on individual value systems will be outlined, which for some authors would then be reflected in the relationship with the parties themselves (as well as in the perception of politics in a broad sense). Particular attention will also be given to changes related to the advent of the consumer society and the rise of individualism.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
