Full textThis thesis examines the impact of economic conditions and political context on the result of parties' candidates in local elections in France. It confirms hypothesis of economic voting, in the case of French local elections, on the basis of an original and detailed database, covering the 1983-2008 period. We show that the incumbent’party is considered as a victim of national political events (cohabitation notably) but it shares the responsibility for the level of economic variables and is consequently rewarded (or penalized). Furthermore, for the 2001 elections, environmental variables also impact incumbent’s share of vote. This thesis also investigates the behaviour of the voter, showing a complex mechanism of varied degrees of sociotropism: regional level is relevant for fiscal variables, but national level is in voter’s mind for economic factors (unemployment). Finally, the electoral rule (two rounds) is also crucial for identifying the decisive factors. Municipal budget structure is important for the first round, particularly; wages and investments expenditures increase the incumbent’s winning probability but consumption spending (wages off) decrease this probability. Political variables (number of candidates) come into play for the second round

Full textAll too often ignored, the municipal elections instituted under the july monarchy mobilized a much longer electoral body than that seen at the legislative level - nearly three million voters -, and called to the polls voters who were often from a very modest rural milieu. These elections did not allow, however, for an initiation into modern politics consisting in an individual vote - free and well throught-out arising from pluralistic debate. A deeper investigation into the notion of the "political archaism" of the campaigns led to rehabilitating the free voter schema and to insisting upon the inadmissibility of poticial pluralism within those communities refusing any principle of division. Furhermore, the idea of a political initiation presupposes the progressive diffusion of political modernity from city towards country. Whereas cities constitute an uncertain birthplace for political modernity : if partisan pluralism is actually present, it is poorly accented and considered temporary. It does not appear to be necessary to democratic life, for politics itself is not considered as a sphere of permanent social institution established upon a fundamentally individualistic principle. The adoption of an anthropological approach to political modernization, consisting in the study of social conceptions at the foundation of observed practices, thus, leads one to dismiss the idea of a progressiv initiation into political modernity linked to a corrollary evolution of social practices and ceonceptions. As the product of a group of a group of uncontrolled, chaotic, even inadmissible interactions - in relation to the conceptions of the time - between individual will

Full textFrom 1919 to 1939, the municipalities of Reims were marked by the domination of radical party allied to the SFIO and then to the right and largely dominated by the personality of Paul Marchandeau. After 1945 the situation appeared much more variable. From 1945 to 1959 we are dealing with fragile municipalities headed successively by a communist, an RPF, a radical and two members of MRP. This is the cumulative result of proportional representation and isolation of the FPC which led to the fact that majorities could be formed only between the non-communist parties in which was incessant rivalry.. But municipalities are represented by individuals. Two generations of councilors can be individualized.

Full textThis doctoral thesis presents a monograph of Epinay-sur-Seine, a medium-sized town in the Department of Seine-Saint-Denis which, during the period surveyed, underwent massive changes due to its political swing in March 2001. This monograph has a theoretical aim, namely, to examine the positions, roles and powers of the various actors of the local political scene, and in the first place, of the mayor himself. The method used combines an analysis of public politics and an anthropological approach. The first part will clarify the theoretical positioning and the method. The second part : ‘The town and its moments” will analyse thr ee moments of the local democratic, elections, town council meetings and public meetings. The third part will analyse three local policies : law and order, culture and “local life. The forth part will lead on to a typology of the various actors taking part in the local political game and its decision-making process. The demonstration of the pivotal position of the mayor in this political game where many actors are involved will permit in fine to analyse the place of the citizens and thus, to examine the democratic dimension of the local political life

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender as práticas de mobilização eleitoral e de construção do eleitor nas eleições municipais realizadas em Canoas/RS entre 1947 e 1963. Canoas é um município da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, emancipado em 1939 e que realizou suas primeiras eleições somente após o Estado Novo. As décadas de 1940 e 1950 registraram um expressivo crescimento populacional, motivado pela migração de trabalhadores do campo para a cidade, fazendo surgir novos bairros – habitados basicamente por famílias de operários. As eleições municipais deste período fazem parte do contexto de incorporação dos trabalhadores urbanos ao cenário eleitoral, de ampliação do corpo eleitoral e de consolidação da experiência democrática brasileira – iniciada em 1945. Necessitando construir uma imagem prestigiosa, partidos e candidatos encontraram um possível canal de comunicação com os eleitores na imprensa local – contando com jornalistas, editores, articulistas e comentaristas mais ou menos identificados com os diferentes grupos políticos. Ao longo das eleições municipais, e seguindo a lógica da disputa regional, formaram-se dois blocos partidários: os trabalhistas, em torno do PTB, PSP e PSB, e um bloco liberal-conservador de contraposição ao trabalhismo, formado por PSD, PRP, PL, UDN e, mais tarde, PDC e MTR. As sucessivas eleições e a mobilização eleitoral tornaram mais nítidas as diferenças entre os dois blocos políticos e produziram identificação no eleitorado com relação a determinados candidatos. Coligações, partidos, candidatos e apoiadores construíram qualificativos sobre suas candidaturas e sobre os adversários, destacando aspectos morais e as competências que, em suas concepções, eram necessárias para o exercício da representação política. Como tais concepções não constituem um fim em si mesmas, a pesquisa avança em direção às práticas dos períodos de campanha eleitoral. As notícias, os artigos e os anúncios publicados na imprensa, bem como o instrumental de mobilização das campanhas eleitorais, são compreendidos não apenas como estratégias de conquista do voto, mas também como práticas que suscitam no eleitor um interesse pela competição eleitoral e estabelecem uma relação entre o voto e a vida cotidiana.
Cette étude vise à comprendre les pratiques de mobilisation électorale et la construction du électeur aux élections municipales dans Canoas/RS entre 1947 et 1963. Canoas est une municipalité dans la région métropolitaine de Porto Alegre, émancipée en 1939 et a tenu ses premières élections seulement après l'Estado Novo. Les années 1940 et 1950 ont enregistré une croissance démographique importante, motivée par la migration des travailleurs ruraux vers la ville, donnant lieu à des nouveaux quartiers – habitée principalement par des familles de travailleurs. Les élections municipales de cette période font partie du contexte de l'intégration des travailleurs urbains au scénario électoral, l'extension du corps électoral et la consolidation de l'expérience démocratique bresilienne – qui a commencé en 1945. Devant de la besoin de construire une image de prestige, les partis et les candidats ont trouvé un canal de communication possible avec les électeurs dans la presse locale – en comptant avec les journalistes, rédacteurs, chroniqueurs et commentateurs plus ou moins identifié avec les différents groupes politiques. Lors des élections municipales, et en suivant la logique de la dispute régionel, ils ont formé deux groupes de parties: les travaillistes, autour du PTB, PSP et PSB, et un bloc libéral-conservateur de l'opposition au travaillisme, formé par le PSD, PRP, PL, UDN et, plus tard, PDC et MTR. Élections successives et mobilisation électorale deviennent plus nettes les différences entre les deux blocs politiques et produite l'identification dans l'électorat au sujet de certains candidats. Coalitions, partis, candidats et partisans construits qualificatifs sur soi et sur leurs adversaires, en soulignant les aspects moraux et les compétences qui, dans leurs vues, étaient nécessaires à l'exercice de la représentation politique. Comme ces concepts ne sont pas une fin en soi, le progrès de la recherche vers les pratiques des périodes de campagne électorale. Nouvelles, articles et annonces dans la presse, et la mobilisation instrumentale des campagnes électorales, sont compris non seulement comme stratégies de conquête du vote, mais aussi comme pratiques qui soulèvent l'électeur un intérêt sur la compétition électorale et établir une relation entre le vote et la vie quotidienne.

Full textThe reform for equal representation of men and women started in 2000s has been consolidated in 2013 by lowering the threshold for an implementation in towns of more than 1’000 inhabitants. The study of political recruitment and political careers of local elected politicians in rural area from 1970 to 2015 in Gironde allows us to understand the political activities of men and women in a context of gender parity which became binding. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, this dissertation aims to connect the transformation of political recruitment in small towns with the changes of contemporary rural societies. It will thus contribute to the literature in both political sociology of rural societies and gender in politics

Full textThis dissertation takes as its point of departure the questions raised by the violent conflicts (arson, threats. . . ) which burst during the April 2001 municipal elections in Olignac, tiny village in the "Landes girondines" (south of Bordeaux). This thesis refuses any reduction of such an event to a folklorish incident and aims to understand why municipal elections constitute such a stake in a two-hundred inhabitant village. It successively considers all the aspects of these arsons, starting with a meticulous ethnographical description of the relationships within the village and the municipal council after the 2001 elections. It states that understanding such an incident takes more than a univocal explanation and that all the layers of the event are to be patiently unfolded

Full textThe municipal elections of November 2003 marked the beginning of a period in whixh, from a socio-historic and political point of view was considered new in the recent history of Mozambique. This date represented the taking of the local political power by Renamo in municipalities siruated in the coastal region of the Nampula province. Frelimo for the first time since independence in 1975 became the opposition party in this region. How can we explain this electoral position ? From an essentially socio-historical and political approach, this thesis seeks to understand the political behaviour of the cities of Angoche, one of the biggest Moslem slave sultanates of East Africa ; of Mozambique Island the first capital of Mozambique ; and of Nacala Porto. It is a region of deep biological and cultural mix, the heart of colonial Mozambique and core of two old elites (islamo-creole and afro-damanien), carriers of a very ancient urban civilization. Nevertheless, the study of local political trajectories of these cities, identical phenomena and migrations allowed discerning the existence of a culture. A culture which was "invented" around the monk and attached to specific individual spaces was able to show itself within the framework of the political decentralization (Municipalisation). It is the successive religious, polititical and economic process of marginalization, first with the colonial modern State and later with the modern State Frelimo that gave sense to the vote of the elites and the populationss of this region in favour of Renamo

Full textHistorical researches on the nineteenth century have left aside Municipal institutions, except from the point of view of a prosopography of mayors and municipal elections of the July Monarchy. The contributions of other social sciences - sociology, anthropology, ethnology - have renewed the approaches, as well as the one on precise social history. This research puts forward a social and political analysis of this institution, registered on the long term (1800-1940) and on a tightened ground (a district and more particularly five localities).By means of relational databases allowing the aggregation of data at different scales of time and spaces, it aims at identifying the city councilors (mayors, deputies, councilors) for themselves, in a prosopographic approach, then relatively to define their representativeness (district scale) and to register them in the relationships they maintain with the other actors in municipal life (municipal scale).This analysis brings to light a municipal institution that villagers took over during the 19th century, by recognising an authority to the mayor and which was first shaped in opposition to that of the parish priest and which then overtook the given law framework. In fact, the outrages against them are few and allow to understand not the limits of the authority granted to the function but the lack of exercise of its depositary. In the same way, municipal elections deal with preparation, mobilisation and control -sometimes up to the electoral protest which constitutes then a third roundwhich brings legitimacy to the elected ones.The identification of the city councilors has also qualified the portrait that is generally drawn up: if there are many eligible families sometimes anciently established in the municipalities of exercise, the share of the moveable city councilors remains strong throughout the 19th century before gradually decreasing. The reconstitution of the municipal careers also shows that the access to the municipal council is not definitively acquired because of a real electoral competition

Full textThis thesis is about decades of social and political tranformations in the formerly Paris'"red belt", and come into the framework of local studies about french communist party. I tried to understund how generations of communists local representatives stayed in power despite of important constraints: disputes with State representatives about territorial development, tranformation of the local and regional economy (from industry to service sector), immigration, and gentrification.The project took the form of a monography of Nanterre, wich has been selected as a model of city forced to change. It's political elites have shown capabilities to resist to these changes, as aptitudes of adaptation, illustrated by their decision to distance themeselves from the communist party in 2010.This combination of resistance and adaptations explains the longevity of this political elite. Thanks to the theorical framework of sociology of public action, I've demonstrated that this political change is only one aspect of numerous adaptations, from political strategy to municipal policies, during the last decades

It is the first study over a long length on the political life in Cilaos, last municipality born on the French island of Reunion in 1965. On this specific territory, that is the “circus” of Cilaos, the political actors have a key role for its development. In this site, where ramparts form a political arena, all the blows are allowed (fraud, unlikely alliance, favoritism). It is so an ideal laboratory for a study of the evolution of its local elections (and its morals) and of the socio-economic development by these actors.

Full textThis thesis examines the digital communication practices of political parties in Tunisia during the first municipal elections of the country’s democratic era conducted on May 6, 2018. Agap in the scientific literature is noted on these practices in other contexts than established Western democracies and on local rather than national elections. Moreover, despite the succession of electoral events since the regime change in Tunisia and the importance of digital in political life since the 2011 revolution, very few studies have focused on the digital campaigns of political parties within the framework of electoral competitions. Our thesis intends to fill these gaps by drawing on social considerations to better understand the logic underscoring the development of the digital strategies of political parties in this unprecedented context. The revolutionary phenomenon of 2011 marks a turning point in Tunisian political life and constitutes a period in which digital technology is frequently presented as having played an important role. The thesis aims to identify and understand whether traces of the revolution mark the digital campaign practices of political parties seven years later. We thus mobilize the general hypothesis of sedimentation, which is part of a processual analysis perspective borrowed from geology. It serves as a guide to establish a link between two temporally distinct phenomena: the 2011 revolution and the 2018 municipal elections. The appropriation of the web by political parties is addressed in this research field from anactor-based approach. From a theoretical point of view, the thesis highlights sociological dimensions that are often neglected in works on digital campaigns. By focusing on the profile of strategy designers, the study differs from the majority of research on the political web, which is generally devoted to the analysis of technical objects. The thesis also brings together two distinct disciplinary fields. It shows how the theoretical approach of "connective action" (Bennett and Segerberg, 2012) developed in the context of online social movements connects to the theoretical approach of the hybrid media system (Chadwick, 2013) in the context of electoral political communication. We first paint a portrait of digital strategists within political parties by studying how they mobilized digital tools during the 2011 revolution. We secondly examine their values and perceptions of the role of digital in the 2011 uprising and in democracy. We thirdly examine the strategists’ sources of inspiration, thus trying to understand whether they reproduce digital practices that marked the revolution in their electoral strategies. Finally, we analyze the objectives that strategists assign to digital campaigns for municipal elections. Our research uses a mixed-methods approach. The data - collected through a series of interviews with 27 communication strategists from the six main Tunisian political parties -were analyzed through qualitative (by categories and themes) and semi-automated quantitative content analysis (using a dictionary).The study reveals that political parties that appear to adopt more innovative digital citizen strategies are those in which the sediments of the revolution had accumulated: they employ cyberactivists of the revolution, cyber-optimists and mobilize the digital practices characteristic of the revolution in the digital electoral strategies’ design. This thesis argues that through a process of sedimentation - which would have developed from the revolution to the elections - the legacy of the 2011 uprising seems to mark the Tunisian democratic context. This legacy permeates, to varying degrees, the digital strategies prepared for the 2018 municipal elections through the promotion of citizen initiatives and the exploitation of the democratizing potential of social media. Underneath the appearances of digital campaigns, there are unobservable, underlying logics that are not only related to sociohistorical elements specific to the context under study, but which also relate to the profile of the actors in charge of developing electoral strategies. This thesis identifies, highlights, and cross-references these factors by insisting on their impact on the strategies prepared for the 2018 municipal elections in post-revolution Tunisia.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the study of communists in determined space (the Havre) and time (1930-1983). It analyses the long presence of communists of the Havre, hinged on three periods and refracted in social, cultural and political records. The study of strategy, language and territory, allows us to understand how the communists have been able, not only to represent the different districts or fractions of the working class, but also how they took on responsabilities at the level of an important urban area and international commercial port, which actually has been much more multifaceted in its social structure, cultural heritage and political expression. There are three main reasons why the communists of the Havre have been able to develop organisations of international scope, starting from the 1930 crisis, which corresponds to their steady integration, up to the second half of the seventies, announcing their electoral decline and the diminishing of their political influence : initially, the first communists allied themselves historically with the heirs of revolutionary trade-unionism, then they took over from the lay republicans and the Radical Party, finally part of them got envolved in the "armed" resistance which gave them a national legitimacy. From 1956 et 1965, they managed the town council with the left wing united front, aiming both at social redistribution and cultural democratization. Eventually, a series of crisis made them lose strongholds of political power without actually breaking them up. The continuous reading of the local press, whether communist or not, the discussions with political representatives, union and cultural militants, resistants, as well as the analysis of pictures and memories, enable us to seize the communists of The Havre as real historical individuals, in their manifold movements and development and also in their contradictions : men and women taking root in the history of the local scene but at the same time dependant on international structures

Full textWho was Jean Lecanuet? Through the atypical career path of the Senator-Mayor of Rouen, first known nationally, before being recognized a local level, we will try to highlight the mechanism of scales in a Centrist political movement so difficult to embody and understand. The personal power of Lecanuet, so vast locally during more than 25 years on Rouen and its department, allowed the social democratic centrism movement to prevail as never over the other political movements, allied or rival, right and left, crushed by the Lecanuetisme system. Nonetheless, the remain some questions. Is this political dominance over the local, departmental and regional levels necessary? What Jean Lecanuet was looking for when patiently building his centrist stronghold? The notion of territory is fundamental here. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Jean Lecanuet seems decided to establish in his own city and at a departmental scale what he failed nationally-establishing a humanist, social and European democracy. Through his municipal list “Mieux Vivre à Rouen” (A better life in Rouen), he will do his best to make Rouen become a modern city, focused on the upcoming 2000s. Deeply attached to the city of one hundred bell towers, Lecanuet will manage to entice the inhabitants thanks to his oratory skill, his national stature and his dedicated work in their favour. Despite that the inhabitants of Rouen did not always understand the political choices of their Mayor during this turbulent period, they certainly wish him eternal gratitude, that continues for decades after his death
