ABSTRACT This article examines the June 2018 presidential and parliamentary elections in Turkey. I maintain that Turkey’s populist authoritarian regime context simultaneously hyperpoliticised and depoliticised the electoral process, as this regime decreased the uncertainty of electoral outcomes and yet the ballot box became the singular legitimate political arena to challenge it. I begin the paper with a discussion of the political context of the elections: political regime dynamics, the new hyperpresidential system, as well as the electoral rules and voting behaviour. I then scrutinise the electoral campaign strategies of the major parties and candidates with an emphasis on the strategies of the opposition in counteracting the uneven playing field. Finally, I analyse the electoral results and discuss their implications.

ABSTRACT Amid the so-called ‘refugee crisis’, South European cities have experienced far-reaching societal transformations, magnified by flaws in multi-level governance. How can urban actors cope with such critical questions, which affect their communities and yet lie beyond their full jurisdiction? This article contends that left-leaning governments and ideologically sympathetic social-movement activists at the city-level are incentivised to join their forces. Alliance-building is a strategy to secure political gains while shaping policies within an otherwise unreceptive, hostile context. This argument is built by intersecting multiple scholarly contributions and illustrated through a comparison of pro-migrant policies in the cities of Milan and Barcelona.

ABSTRACT Although austerity carried the day in crisis-ridden Southern Europe, expansionary welfare measures also emerged alongside retrenchment in countries where left-leaning coalitions were in government and anti-establishment parties on the rise. By focusing on the case of Italy (2013–2018), this article investigates the political dynamics that favoured expansionary welfare measures under austerity. We triangulate qualitative and quantitative evidence and show that, constrained by EU conditionality abroad, the reform agenda of the Italian centre-left first sought the support of middle- and upper-class constituencies at home. However, the deteriorating social situation, the divide that emerged within the centre-left under the leadership of Matteo Renzi, and the rise of the pro-welfare Five Star Movement reshuffled the social policy priorities of the centre-left.
尽管紧缩政策在危机重重的南欧占了上风，但在一些左倾联盟执政、反建制政党崛起的国家，扩张性福利措施也与紧缩政策一起出现。通过关注意大利(2013-2018)的案例，本文调查了在紧缩政策下有利于扩张性福利措施的政治动态。我们对定性和定量证据进行了三角分析，结果表明，受欧盟在国外的条件限制，意大利中左翼的改革议程首先寻求国内中上层选民的支持。然而，不断恶化的社会形势、马泰奥·伦齐(Matteo Renzi)领导下的中左翼内部出现的分歧，以及亲福利的“五星运动”(Five Star Movement)的崛起，重新洗牌了中左翼的社会政策重点。

ABSTRACT On 31 March 2019 Turkish voters ended the Islamist local governance in the country’s largest cities after 25 years and handed the ruling AKP its most serious electoral defeat since its rise to power in 2002. The article explores the electoral strategies of major parties in the local election, offers a comparative analysis of the results, and discusses post-election developments, including the rerun in Istanbul. The election and its aftermath reaffirmed the competitive authoritarian nature of the regime, as the governing bloc enjoyed an uneven playing field, while the opposition had to meet a higher electoral bar than the incumbents to win. The economic crisis, growing discontent with the government’s policies, and effective coordination of opposition parties facilitated this outcome.

ABSTRACT This paper links patterns of deregulatory reforms and post-crisis reversals in Italy and Portugal with the electoral constituencies of political parties. Combining insights from the social coalitions and electoral behaviour debates, we link reform outcomes to the class set-up of the electorate in the two countries by using the class schema developed by Daniel Oesch. We find that governments in both countries reversed austerity measures in order to protect core groups of voters within their electorate in spite of wide ideological differences between governing coalitions in the two countries. There is, however, some variation in the extent of the reversals across policy areas.
