Item type: Item , Language acts in western democracies (acts in force in January 2014)(Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2016-12) Riera Gil, Elvira, 1964-The dataset contains information on linguistic legal regulations (language acts) in force in states and substates of Europe (Council of Europe), Canada and the US in January 2014. On the one hand, it includes data on legitimating values mentioned by acts (according to a typology based on communication and identity), on their objectives and on the type of restrictions they establish. On the other hand, it includes data referring to the political units that adopt the acts (e.g. political and demolinguistic features). This dataset is used in the doctoral thesis Why Language(s) Matter to People: a theoretical and comparative approach to linguistic justice in western democracies. The case of mixed societies.Item type: Item , Ideologia i abstenció a nivell comparat(2015-07-24) Rodon i Casarramona, AntoniAquesta base de dades conté el percentatge d'abstenció en diferents posicions ideològiques en diversos països europeus del 1964 al 2013.

Competition and Contamination Effects" (Ashgate Publishing, 2014)(2012-06-06) Guinjoan Cesena, MarcAccording to the Duvergerian theory only viable parties would be expected to stand for elections alone in the long run whereas non-viable parties would be thought to join a pre-electoral coalition with another party or to withdraw from competition. However, non-viable political parties throughout the world have been shown to continue presenting candidates, calling into question the Duvergerian theories. Departing from the paradox that more parties than those that are expected stand elections, I argue that the overlap of electoral arenas generates opportunities for viable parties to present candidacies in arenas where they are non-viable. Through in-depth interviews to political leaders in Canada and Spain I show that the overlap of electoral arenas turns the decision to present candidacies when non-viable into the dominant strategy, whereas coalescing or withdrawing become suboptimal alternatives. This situation leads to an extra supply of parties competing to what the Duvergerian theories predict. Through a cross-national quantitative analysis with data from 46 countries I address the institutional and the sociological determinants that account for variation in the number of parties competing even if non-viable.Item type: Item , Party mobilization and electoral systems(2012-03-06) Lago Peñas, Ignacio; Bermúdez Torres, Sandra; Guinjoan Cesena, Marc; Rowe, Kelly T.; Simón Cosano, PabloData in Stata format (.dta) and CSV.
