Stefano Bartolini

Stefano Bartolini (born January 22, 1952) is an Italian political scientist and professor at European University Institute in Florence, Italy.

Bartolini's research in political science includes research on electoral changes in Europe during the 1980s, which found that gains and losses at the party level did not translate into large changes at the bloc level.

[3] According to Bartolini, the integration of Europe reverses the centuries-long process of national boundary construction.

[4] In 1990, Bartolini was honored with the Stein Rokkan Prize for Comparative Social Science Research for his work Identity, Competition, and Electoral Availability: the Stabilisation of European Electorates 1885-1985 (coauthored with Peter Mair).

[5][6] In 2001, Bartolini received the Gregory Luebbert Award for best book in Comparative Politics (for The Class Cleavage, 2000).
