Andrea Ceron and Elisa Volpi argue that rather than sweeping the damage under the carpet, parties can best restore their image by emphasising competence, clarity and their ability to handle the core issues
Political distrust and reduced party identification suggest that political parties are in crisis. Elisa Volpi argues that parties are not in terminal decline, but undergoing a process of adaptation
She completed her PhD in Political Science at the European University Institute in Florence, defending a thesis about the determinants of legislative party switching.
Elisa's research interests include elites’ behaviour, political parties and intra-party politics in comparative perspective.
Her recent publications include articles in Party Politics and Parliamentary Affairs.
