Classification accuracy as a substantive quantity of interest: Measuring polarization in westminster systems
Measuring the polarization of legislators and parties is a key step in understanding how politics develops over time. But in parliamentary systems—where ideological positions estimated from roll calls may not be informative—producing valid estimates is extremely challenging. We suggest a new measurement strategy that makes innovative use of the "accuracy" of machine...

Alternative action organizations: Social solidarity or political advocacy?
This article investigates the involvement of alternative action organizations in three forms of political advocacy in an attempt to gauge their degree of politicization. These forms can be understood as representing three different ways of making political claims: by raising public awareness with respect to a given cause or issue, by trying to influence the policy maker through “...

The rise of cultural issues as an opportunity for the right? Insights from the 2015 swiss election
This article presents an explanation for the success of the right in the 2015 Swiss parliamentary election based on the spatial model of voting. Since there is no party combining economically left with culturally authoritarian policy stances, voters with that preference combination face a difficult electoral choice. We show that they are more likely to abstain, and that those voters...

Political values and extra-institutional political participation: The impact of economic redistributive and social libertarian preferences on protest behaviour
Previous studies have found that left-wing and libertarian individuals are more likely to engage in extra-institutional political activism. However, due to a lack of suitable data, studies to date have not analysed the relative influence of economic redistributive and social libertarian values for the intensity of protest participation. By analysing data from a unique cross-national...

The radical right, the labour movement and the competition for the workers' vote
This article analyses the capacity of radical right parties to attract support from un-ion members in recent elections in Western Europe. It is argued that unionized vot-ers resist the appeals of the radical right better than non-union members. Using data from the European Social Survey 2010–2016, the article shows that union members are overall less likely to vote for the radical...

Europe's Existential Crisis. Facing the Threats and Challenges
The European Union is in a state of emergency. The crisis it is facing today is a global one, rather than merely sector-specific as in the past. It therefore requires a global response, in other words at a political level. This is the central message conveyed by this selection of texts. Having presented some of the main challenges, both internal and external, with which the Union is...

Les propositions du Président Macron concernant la politique de sécurité internationale: une lecture critique
L'analyse porte sur les différents discours du président Macron tenus en 2017 et 2018.

‘Failing forward' towards Which Europe? Organized hypocrisy in the Common European Asylum System
Exposing the ideological conflicts involved in the creation of a common European Asylum Policy, this article calls for an extension of classic integration theories to look beyond whether crises result in ‘more' or ‘less' Europe and to address the substance of European integration. Drawing on actorcentered institutionalism and organizational sociology, the ‘refugee crisis...

Exposition régulière à des personnages de jeux vidéo stéréotypés : nocivité et régulation étatique : l'esquisse d'une proposition libérale d'intervention
Les études en psychologie sociale, portant sur les effets des stéréotypes de genre présents dans les jeux vidéo, font valoir que les consommateurs/joueurs (hommes et femmes) qui s'exposent régulièrement à des personnages féminins stéréotypés, sont plus susceptibles de développer des attitudes et croyances sexistes, à la fois dans les environnements en ligne (multijoueurs) et à...
