1 Political parties and democratic representation in the era of crisis: mapping changes and functions in the composition of the Greek political elites Gerasimos Karoulas PhD, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens ECPR General Conference, Prague, 7-10 September 2016
2 Political elites under crisis periods Democratic and elite theories estimate among others, the impact that rapid social changes and crises have on the function of the political system. Although theoretical approaches are not common, main topics and parameters of research are the following: marginalization of democratic debating and decision making processes, while a further enhancement of democratic deficit is more than evident cooperation between the traditional political elites in order to retain their status and reproduce increase of power of party leaders and leading political groups at the expense of the role of the rest political personnel, party organs and members degradation of the role of society s representatives (i.e. social partners, civil society, NGOs), in the adoption and influence of specific policies break of bonds between the electorate and the traditional political parties and elites
3 Crisis, elections and political personnel The aforementioned evolutions have a considerable impact in the composition and emergence of political elites and more precise the following: emerging of new political powers and fragmentation of the traditional party system, high turnover of the elected political personnel new recruitment channels for the elected political personnel, as a result of changes taking place within society new social groups in the composition of political elites increase of anti- systemic and antidemocratic parties and tendencies rejection of political system on behalf of a significant part of society considerable differences between old and new political powers in terms of recruitment channels and profile of political personnel
4 Main evolutions of Greek crisis elections Considerable increase in the number of parliament parties (from maximum 5 parties before crises to 7 or 8 after crises) Single party governments seems to belong to the past. From 2011 till today only coalition governments have undertaken power During the elections of 2015 the far right, neo-nazist party of Golden Dawn has gained the third higher electoral percentage The number of first elected MPs has grown considerably as a result of crisis elections Elections 1989a 1989b a 2012b 2015a 2015b Newcomers 47% 13% 25,66% 30,66% 30,33% 30,66% 26,66% 28% 49,33% 11,66% 40% 20,33% The participation percentage in parliamentary elections has been substantially decreased Elections May 2012 June 2012 Jan Sept Participation 76,5% 74,2% 71% 65,1% 62,5% 63,6% 56,6%
5 Research outline Census quantitative research during the period The specific period is defined by two crises. The political crisis of 1989 and the socioeconomic and political - ongoing- crisis of Research Population: total number of Greek and European (Greek representatives) parliament members as well as members of the government (1.500 cases). Data collection: analysis of curricula vitae and composition of political elites collected from current bibliography, newspapers, official websites (i.e. Greek and European parliament, political parties, personal pages of political elites) Conduction of research: Coding Protocol tested in 10% of the sample. The data analysis was conducted through SPSS 22 Incomplete data gathered for 6% of the population
6 Research Question Research Hypotheses To what extent and in which ways has the composition and emerging of Greek political personnel changed during the crises period? We expect important differentiations to be evident in the demographic profile of political personnel, as a result of the high turnover of political elites and the need for representation of specific social groups influenced by crisis effects Given that electorate has rejected -to a large extent- the traditional political parties and personnel, we expect that new recruitment channels will have emerged We expect that a considerable number of changes will also be reflected between pro- and anti-memorandum parties We expect that nepotism will have been marginalized to a large extent, as a form of reproduction of traditional political parties,
7 SYRIZA (28%) and Democratic Left (45%) were the only parties that had elected a considerable number of women. PASOK didn't elect any woman in the specific period Gender per period 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 5,8% 94,2% 13,3% 86,7% Until 1990 Between 1991 and ,4% 22,3% 76,6% 77,7% Between 2001 and 2011 Between 2012 and ,4% 84,6% TOTAL WOMEN MEN

D.C. and P.Y. D.C. and C.C. Party Youth (PY) Central Committee (CC) District Committee (DC) The role of party leaders or ministers consultants have been very marginalized. Strong presence of District Committees
15 Conclusions Changes in demographic profile are evident with the exception of the presence of women which has remained stable. Employees and pensioners, having suffered most by the crisis, have a much stronger presence in political elites positions. The hypotheses of emerging of new recruitment channels can be partially accepted since differentiations are evident in several parameters, like interest groups, professional recognition or state officials. Nepotism has been marginalized as a recruitment channel especially between the antimemorandum parties Political leaders consultants have been diminished as a category of political personnel holding official positions Changes are in most cases evident between pro and anti memorandum political parties
