Il secessionismo come gioco della competizione partitica. Il radicalismo delle ideologie dei partiti etnoregionalisti in Europa occidentale
Secessionism as a Party Competition Game: The Radicalization of the Self-determination Demands of the Ethno-regionalist Parties in Western Europe
Abstract
In questo articolo intendiamo osservare cosa spieghi il livello di radicalismo dei partiti etnoregionalisti in Europa occidentale. Questo contributo empirico comparato allo studio degli etnoregionalismi è basato sui casi di 44 partiti di 9 paesi diversi e abbraccia 28 regioni diverse. Le ipotesi sono basate sulla teoria del costruttivismo naturalizzato, e contestano la teoria della condivisione del potere, la quale presuppone che i partiti etnoregionalisti siano attori politici a somma zero che tendono a radicalizzarsi quando sono scarsamente rappresentati nel ramo legislativo o esecutivo. Consideriamo invece le ideologie dei partiti etnoregionalisti come soggette alle strategie di competizione interna ed esterna fra i partiti, e dimostriamo come la moderazione nella politica territoriale sia una strategia fattibile.
In this article we want to see what accounts for the level of radicalism of the Ethno-regionalist parties in Western Europe.Thiscomparative empirical contribution to the study of ethno-regionalisms based on 44 party cases from 9countries, covering 28regions. The hypotheses are based on the theory of naturalized constructionism, contesting the power-sharing theory that assumes that Ethno-regionalist parties are zero-sum political actors, prone to radicalization when poorly represented in legislative or executive. We look at ERPs’ ideologies as subject to intra- and the inter-group party competition strategies, and we prove that moderation in territorial politics is viable.
