The Editors and Editorial Board of QOE-IJES are pleased to announce that our journal has been officially classified as "Classe A" (the highest rating) in "Sociologia dei fenomeni politici e giuridici" (14/C3) according to the latest official ranking of academic journals established by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and its evaluation agency, ANVUR.
The latest issue of QOE-IJES features an editorial tribute to Mario Caciagli and explores the dynamics of the 2022 Italian general elections. Key articles analyze the relationship between political actors and structures, the impact of economic insecurity on voter behaviour, the role of localism in right-wing populism, the influence of hostile sexism on voting, and the effects of simultaneous elections in Sicily. The issue provides valuable insights into the factors shaping contemporary political behaviour in Italy.

May 17, 2024. The QOE-IJES mourns its founder. Mario Caciagli passed away this morning.
He founded our journal in 1977 and directed it for over 40 years with tireless energy and contagious enthusiasm.
He served until now as honorary president of the Italian Society of Electoral Studies, which he also helped found, and of which QOE-IJES is proud to be the journal.
In this Virtual Special Issue, QOE-IJES suggests to readers a collection of articles published in its historical archive investigating the EP elections and, more in general, the impact of the European dimension on national politics.
The latest issue of QOE-IJES (Vol 87, No 1, 2024) presents an engaging collection of six original research articles exploring key facets of political science within the Italian context and beyond. This edition spans a diverse range of topics, including the widening socio-economic disparities in electoral participation, the impact of gender on electoral outcomes, the complexities of measuring affective polarisation, the strategic adjustments in policy proposals by political parties, the dynamics of political trust in relation to COVID-19 containment measures, and the challenges of territorial representation in metropolitan council elections.
We are at an exciting juncture in the journey of the ‘Quaderni dell’Osservatorio Elettorale’ (QOE) / ‘Italian Journal of Electoral Studies’ (IJES). The Società Italiana di Studi Elettorali (SISE) is delighted to announce the re-appointment of Prof. Silvia Bolgherini (University of Perugia) and Prof. Paolo Bellucci (University of Siena) as our new Co-Editors for the 2024-2026 term.
“Weighed, not counted”: territorial (mis)representation in Italian metropolitan council elections by Giancarlo Gasperoni
We are delighted to announce a significant milestone in the journey of QOE - IJES. Our journal has been accepted for Scopus indexing, underscoring its academic excellence and international relevance.
The Società Italiana di Studi Elettorali (SISE) is issuing a call for editors for the journal ‘Quaderni dell’Osservatorio Elettorale’ (QOE) / ‘Italian Journal of Electoral Studies’ (IJES).
In the aftermath of the first COVID-19 wave, this study examines the relationship between political trust and public perceptions of pandemic measures. Using Eurobarometer data, the research shows that political trust was influenced by institutional performance, while public perceptions and policy measures had a partial impact on this trust.
The study of the quality of elections is spreading very rapidly. This special issue aims to provide a general overview of the state of the art to introduce an empirical analysis of the quality of elections.
The special issue on the 2022 Italian general election, edited by Arianna Giovannini, Marco Valbruzzi, and Davide Vampa, argues that the election continues a 'new political normal' in Italy, characterized by volatility and the rise of populist ideas. The issue covers various aspects such as pre-election strategies, the growth of far-right parties in a European context, and the moderate initial governance of the winning party, Meloni's Fratelli d'Italia. Overall, the election is seen as a continuation rather than a radical change, fitting within broader trends in Italy and Europe.
Enjoy your reading!
