Tracking Electoral Change: Studying the Transformation of the Italian Electoral Landscape through the Lens of the ITANES Survey Series (Panel 8.17)
Since its foundation, the ITANES association has pursued its mission of collecting data at each national election and making it available to the scientific community to study and understand electoral change in Italy. Fifteen years ago, the volume Votare in Italia 1968–2008, edited by Paolo Bellucci and Paolo Segatti, offered a long-term interpretation of the major transformations in the Italian electoral landscape. It is now time to renew the effort and reflect on the dramatic changes the Italian political system has experienced over the past 15 years.
This panel thus invites contributions that, leveraging the ITANES data, investigate key aspects of electoral change — including the evolution of public opinion, voters’ orientations, preferences, and choices, as well as their relationship with parties and media. The panel welcomes both cross-sectional and longitudinal papers, along with studies that place the Italian case in a comparative perspective.
Contributions may address topics such as political participation and abstention, voting choices, structural determinants of voting, economic voting, party identification, ideology and polarization, the space of electoral competition, electoral campaigns, and the role of mainstream and digital media. Studies examining the electoral impact of issues such as immigration, the European Union, environmental crises, and gender are equally welcome.
The panel is also conceived as an attempt to systematize the ITANES survey series and make it more accessible to the scientific community, in line with FAIR data principles and in connection with emerging infrastructures like MEDem (https://www.medem.eu/), thus supporting efforts to study electoral democracy in our challenging times.
The ITANES survey series is available here.
