Resumen
FREIRE, André. Ideological and party-political identities in Europe: a comparative approach to Portugal, Spain and Greece. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2005, n.47, pp.11-33. ISSN 0873-6529.
This article undertakes a systematic comparison of the extent and development of ideological and party-political identities among the electorate in the new democracies of Southern Europe (Portugal, Spain and Greece) with those of electorates in eight other democratic countries of the Old Continent from 1976 to 2002. Bearing in mind the intervening periods when dictatorships ruled in Southern Europe, the conditions for forming party-political and ideological identities, particularly in terms of left and right were not favourable. For this reason the article seeks to establish in the first instance whether party-political and ideological identity is less well disseminated among the people of the new democracies; and secondly, it demonstrates growth trends which may go counter to those in the older democracies.
Palabras clave : Left-Right; ideological identity; party-political identity; Europe.
