*Conference*: Annual Conference of the Italian Political Science
Association (SISP,
Società Italiana di Scienze Politiche), University of Turin (Italy), 6-8
September 2018

*Section 10*: Regional Studies and Local Policies

*Panel title*: The Politics of Local Government

*Chairs*: Raffaele Bazurli (Scuola Normale Superiore), Fred Paxton
(European University Institute), Matteo Bassoli (eCampus Online University)

*Discussant*: Tiziana Caponio (University of Turin)

*Panel description*:
The most profound consequences of the increasing interdependence of global
markets and societies have landed in urban environments. A simultaneous
process of institutional rescaling has also resulted in the devolution of
greater power to sub-national political institutions in many European
countries.

These dramatic global trends present urban society with new challenges, but
are not ungovernable at this level. On the contrary, European cities have
the capacity to complement (or contradict) national urban policy in a
variety of fields, such as migration, housing, health and security, despite
the restrictions of a context of austerity and shrinking resources. On this
regards, scholars focused both on policy rescaling and on multi-level
governance issue, not to mention the subsidiarity mantra.

In the period since the Great Recession, cities are at the centre of
contentious developments as well. Movements on both the (radical) Left and
the Right are increasingly mobilising based on local concerns. In some
cases, radical parties across the political spectrum have even become
incumbents of local institutions. Local political actors also discursively
intervene in arenas that are beyond their administrative competences: a
further facet of the interlinking of the local level with politics at large.

This panel welcomes papers to develop that address the political
consequences of the contemporary economic and institutional changes to the
urban environment, too often neglected by functionalist orientated local
government literature. This section aims to explore issues from such
perspectives as:

- Political opportunity structures of local government
- The relevance of ideological categories to local government
- Impact of new and radical parties in local government
- The consequences of urban movements for local policies
- The connections between social movements and parties in cities
- Tensions between local and national party organisations
- Multi-level governance and conflicting issues.
- Urban regimes and political implications.
- The politics of local electoral systems

The list is only for illustrative purposes; papers related to other aspects
of the politics of local government – either comparative or single case
studies – are very welcome. Papers can be submitted in either English or
Italian.
