Curiosamente cuando en Brasil, país origen del Presupuesto Participativo, surgen muchas dificultades para su continuidad en comparación con otras innovaciones democráticas, en España comienzan a ...ponerse en marcha nuevas experiencias. Los cambios de gobierno, producidos después de las elecciones municipales de 2015, han provocado que muchos ayuntamientos importantes, entre ellos el de Madrid, gobernados por coaliciones de izquierda hayan decidido, como se señalaba en sus programas electorales, incorporar el Presupuesto Participativo a su proyecto de gobierno. Esta comunicación tiene como objetivo analizar, desde el conocimiento adquirido en los 25 años de funcionamiento del Presupuesto Participativo, la nueva experiencia puesta en marcha en el Ayuntamiento de Madrid. Para ello se realizará un análisis documental tanto de la experiencia en sí como de los procesos pilotos realizados durante 2015 en algunos distritos de la ciudad y se analizarán los discursos y entrevistas con miembros del gobierno municipal y de lo demás partidos presentes en el ayuntamiento.
Voting for a candidate that is no longer alive at the time of election may be considered a wasted vote. Nevertheless, there are instances in which such a vote means to overcome the legal limitations ...and choose how to be represented. This article aims to illustrate how such a behavior can be calculated when citizens vote for a dead candidate to nullify an electoral law that they consider unfair. This is driven by what we call electoral process nullification, which is the political equivalent of jury nullification. We use evidence from the local elections organized in September 2020 in a Romanian commune of approximately 3,000 inhabitants. A dead candidate won the elections with 64% of the votes. Our results draw on semi-structured interviews with people who voted for that candidate.
In this paper, we investigate whether voters hold local politicians accountable for the performance of local schools. We examine this effect for the 2013 and 2017 Danish local elections using ...register data and polling station-level voting records. We find robust evidence of retrospective voting from pooled and fixed effects estimations. Exploiting the micro-level character of our data, we present evidence that higher-income citizens are more sensitive to changes in school performance, while other demographic and political characteristics do not appear to have mattered.
•We study how changes in school results affect the mayoral party’s electoral success.•Contributes to retrospective voting literature on local politics.•School outcomes affect vote shares in FE and repeated cross-sectional analysis.•Heterogeneity analysis shows that higher-income voters react more to school results.
The conflict that occurred amid the people of North Borneo Province in the Regional Head Election for the first time in 2015 was the non-acceptance of one of the candidate's supporters after the ...recapitulation of the vote count. Demonstrations of facilities damage conflicts include burning the Governor's office, burning of the Regional Election Commission (KPUD) office, banners, burning tires, and burning cars. This study uses qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach, in data collection with in-depth interviews with resource persons including Chairperson of Regional Election Commission (KPUD), Commissioner of Regional Election Commission (KPUD), Members of Regional Election Commission (KPUD), and Regency Communities Bulungan. This research is also inseparable by collecting books, journals, reputable websites, and the like related to research. Furthermore, the data is managed using the Nvivo 12 Plus software, with Crosstab Analysis feature in common sentences, then concluded. The results showed that the trigger for the reaction that resulted in the conflict was due to regional sentiment, indicating that there was an indication of money politics, the state civil apparatus (ASN), and the lack of C6 forms.
RESUMO Tendo como eixo central a evolução da disputa política ao longo da Primeira República entre dois grupos oligárquicos paraibanos (o alvarista e o epitacista), este trabalho pretendeu analisar ...três momentos eleitorais (eleições de 1899/1900, de 1915 e de 1930) que marcaram a política estadual e que foram significativos no processo de ascensão e ocaso das referidas oligarquias. Utilizando a imprensa da época, fontes memorialistas e epistolares, além de anais do Congresso Nacional, buscou-se discutir tais pleitos tendo em vista o funcionamento do processo de verificação dos poderes em âmbito estadual e nacional, cotejando com a discussão historiográfica mais recente a respeito desse sistema e da dinâmica da política dos governadores.
ABSTRACT Having as central axis the evolution of the political dispute throughout the First Republic between two oligarchic groups in Paraíba (the Alvarist and the Epitacist), this paper intends to analyze three electoral moments (1899/1900, 1915 and 1930 elections) that marked the local politics and were significant in the process of rise and decline of the referred oligarchies. Using the press of the time, memorialist and epistolary sources, as well as the annals of the National Congress, we seek to discuss these elections bearing in mind the process of verification of credentials at state and national levels, collating with the most recent historiographical discussion about this system and the dynamics of the politics of the governors.

We empirically study the effects of broadband internet diffusion on local election outcomes and on local government policies using rich data from the U.K. Our analysis shows that the internet has ...displaced other media with greater news content (i.e. radio and newspapers), thereby decreasing voter turnout, most notably among less-educated and younger individuals. In turn, we find suggestive evidence that local government expenditures and taxes are lower in areas with greater broadband diffusion, particularly expenditures targeted at less-educated voters. Our findings are consistent with the idea that voters’ information plays a key role in determining electoral participation, government policies, and government size.
We show that Brazilian voters strongly sanction malfeasant mayors when presented with hypothetical scenarios but take no action when given the same information about their own mayor. Partnering with ...the State Accounts Court of Pernambuco, we conducted a field experiment during the 2016 municipal elections in which the treatment group received information about official wrongdoing by their mayor. The treatment has no effect on self-reported voting behavior after the election, yet when informing about malfeasance in the context of a vignette experiment, we are able to replicate the strong negative effect found in prior studies. We argue that voters' behavior in the abstract reflects the comparatively strong norm against corruption in Brazil. Yet on Election Day, their behavior is constrained by factors such as attitudes toward local political dynasties and the greater salience of more pressing concerns like employment and health services.
The military conflict in East-Ukraine threatens security not only in this area of Europe, but in the world as a whole, involving the Russian Federation, USA, and many countries of Europe, NATO and ...the European Union. Unsuccessful attempts to put an end to the conflict led to the intervention of the leaders of Germany and France, who negotiated along with V. Putin and V. Poroshenko the Minsk II Agreement, a very complex arrangement, including not only the cease fire, but also the withdrawal of heavy weaponry from the area under the OSCE monitoring and internal Ukrainian constitutional changes meaning also a wide statute of autonomy for the regions Donetsk and Lugansk. Will this agreement resist? Will it be implemented? For the EU, which has enough problems of its own, including discontent with regard to sanctions applied to Russian Federation, the continuation of the conflict is unacceptable. USA would think to give military assistance to Ukraine, in terms of new weapons and training for its military. European States are not favorable to such an evolution. Many people ask themselves if this conflict is not the expression of a strategy of the Russian Federation to rebuild its area of influence to what USSR had before 1989. This would open a kind of a new cold war, with unknown consequences. This study is not proposing to give answers to such questions; it is rather opening an area of reflection for all those interested
