The character of social democracy in the constituent countries of the European Union is more significant and much better understood than the available literature would appear to suggest. This thought-provoking and edifying handbook aims to redress this disparity by bringing together a range of top political scientists from across Europe to provide a definitive collection on social democracy in the EU, one that offers students and scholars both an informative and easy-to-use guide to social democracy as a system of governance in Europe. Through establishing a common framework for analysis and by exploring all 27 countries in the European Union according to this structure, The Palgrave Handbook of Social Democracy in Europe constitutes a compendium that is truly comparative in nature. This comparative and comprehensive framework coupled with the unprecedented overview of European social democracy over the past decade makes this handbook the go-to guide for those interested in all aspects of social democracy in the European Union.

How can the European Union engage and connect with the people it aims to represent? What initiatives and schemes have been used to engage EU citizens? To what extent can such procedures be considered a move forward towards a more participative and democratic Europe? This collection of internationally recognised specialists in European integration and innovative democratic practices seek to answer these key questions, explore European citizens’ thoughts and opinions about the EU and evaluate the governing elite’s attempts to engage with the public. It offers critical analysis of EU justifications and strategies for implementing Deliberative Citizens Involvement Projects and focuses on some of the major participative experiences trialled and implemented by EU institutions. By comparing these different attempts to increase and bolster the participation of EU citizens and evaluating their impact the book offers valuable and original material on the civic involvement of EU citizens and the legitimacy of the EU decision making process.

This paper analyses the electoral usage and impact of smartvote.lu, the first Voting Advice Application (VAA) introduced in Luxembourg at the occasion of the 2009 national elections. We devise a series of expectations regarding the use and impact of the instrument and provide both descriptive and multivariate analyses on data drawn from a ‘classical’ post-electoral survey representative of all voters. Despite the need for studies using this type of empirical material and multivariate methods to draw valid lessons on the determinants of VAA use and the potential electoral impact of these devices, such a combination is still rare in the nascent literature on VAAs, and arguably allows us to make a valuable contribution to it. Our main finding is that the most educated are more likely to use the VAAs but less likely to be influenced by it. [less ▲]

Le chapitre 1 Législations, partis et campagne électorale au Luxembourg retrace d’une part les transformations du système politique luxembourgeois (avec la modification de la loi électorale, la promulgation de loi sur le financement des partis politiques et les évènements qui ont marqué la législature 2004-2009) et, d’autre part analyse les enjeux et challenges de la législature 2004-2009. Il se focalise sur la campagne électorale de septembre 2008 à juin 2009 (aussi bien à travers les sondages que par un dépouillement exhaustif de la presse quotidienne et hebdomadaire luxembourgeoise de langue allemande et française à caractère politique). Le chapitre 2 Formation de l’opinion et candidats aux législatives et européennes a pour objet les conditions de la formation de l’opinion, de la représentation et de la médiation en politique au Grand-Duché. Ce chapitre informe particulièrement sur comment les citoyens forment leurs intentions de vote, les stratégies des partis tant dans le choix des candidatures que dans la mise en forme de leurs identités politiques et leurs relations avec les autres acteurs du système politique, communément appelés la « société civile ». Le chapitre 3 Résultats des élections législatives et européennes introduit non seulement de nouveaux modes de calculs pour la présentation des résultats, mais établit aussi des corrélations entre des caractéristiques socio-démographiques, tirées des données du recensement de 2001, des données statistiques sur la population en 2008 et en 2009 du STATEC et de l’IGSS de 2009 et des résultats des partis au niveau des 116 communes du Luxembourg. Les chapitre 4 et 5 Électorats dans les sondages pré & post-électoral visent, quant à eux, à établir le portrait sociologique des électorats des partis et leurs valeurs à travers tant les classiques déterminants du vote, comme la structure par âge, par genre, par niveau d’instruction et par situation face à l’emploi que par l’échelle des valeurs « matérialistes »/ »post-matérialistes » conceptualisée par Ronald Inglehart et ses disciples. En plus de l’étude des Luxembourgeois, pour la première fois, nous analysons aussi les étrangers résidents au Luxembourg. Le chapitre 6 Étude des bulletins marque la continuité avec les études précédentes sur les élections législatives et européennes, puisque c’est la huitième fois qu’il est procédé à un échantillonnage des bulletins réels pour les élections législatives. Cette analyse permet, d’une part, d’évaluer les proximités entre les partis eux-mêmes et, d’autre part, de mesurer les performances des politiques électorales personnelles des candidats, indépendamment de leurs affiliations personnelles. Nouveauté en 2009, il a été étudié également les bulletins pour les élections européennes. [less ▲]

Does the increasing usage of online political forums lead to a more deliberative democracy? This book answers to this question by presenting the evolution of the public spaces in a historical perspective, by defining and operationalizing the deliberative criteria of democracy, and by measuring and evaluating the impact of virtualization of the political debates under threes perspectives. It looks at the extent to which different categories of the population debate online, it looks at the categories of actors hosting online political forum, and it assesses the quality of the online political debates in different contexts. The final aim of this work is to provide a more balanced evaluation of the impact of virtualization of the political debates and to enrich the evolving deliberative theory with new findings.
