Both in Greece in 2012 and Italy in 2013, it took two elections to
form a government. A repeat parliamentary contest was required in
Greece and the unprecedented re-election of the outgoing President
of the Republic in Italy before a cabinet could be formed. Against
a background of economic crisis and national austerity, both
countries experienced 'protest elections' in which the overriding
concern for an unusually large proportion of voters was not to
choose a government but to express dissent. The outcome included
record-breaking electoral volatility, the decline of bipolarism,
the startling rise of challenger parties and the transformation of
national patterns of government formation, including experiments
with grand coalitions and technocrat-led cabinets. These
developments sent shock waves through Europe and beyond, suggesting
Southern Europe might be drifting towards ungovernability. The
volume offers analyses of the key electoral contests at the
parliamentary, presidential and local government levels,
complemented by special studies of two key challenger parties,
Beppe Grillo's Five Star Movement in Italy and Golden Dawn in
Greece. An introductory comparative overview traces the process of
convergence between the political systems of Italy and Greece which
appears to have been triggered by the economic crisis. This book
was published as a special issue of South European Society and
Politics.
