本論文では、市民社会内の情報ネットワーク形成と政治分野への関与する組織のイデオロギー的な所属性の役割を分析する。カトリックと左派所属がキェルツェ(ポーランド)、トリノ(イタリア)に影響を与えるかどうかを調査する。本論文では異なる社会的なネットワーク分析手法を適用して、双方の都市で同類のパートナーを好む傾向があるかを調査する。ただし、提携による影響はトリノの政策決定の権利が予測されるが、キェルツェではこの影響によって社会における主体関係者が中心になって仲介される。双方の都市では、ネットワークがカトリック組織において高い集約性を持つことが特徴付けられるが、これは政治分野における多大な関与によるものである。冷戦終結後から25年間経っており、政治的関与とローカル・ガバナンス構造形態への影響に対する強力な予測となる。
This article analyses the role of organizations’ ideological affiliation in shaping information networks within civil society and in granting access to the political sphere. It investigates whether the Catholic and Leftist affiliation of organizations impacts in the city of Turin (Italy) and Kielce (Poland). Applying different social network analysis techniques, the article finds that in both cities there is a tendency towards preferring similar partners. However, while the influence of affiliation is relevant to predict the access to policy making in Turin, in Kielce, this influence is mediated by the actor’s centrality in the social sphere. In both cities, networks are characterized by the higher centrality of Catholic organizations, which also translate in a greater involvement in the political sphere. Twenty-five years after the end of the cold war, past-affiliation is still a strong predictor of political involvement and impacts on the shape of local governance structure.

Abstract
This article analyses the role of organizations’ ideological affiliation in shaping information networks within civil society and in granting access to the political sphere. It investigates whether the Catholic and Leftist affiliation of organizations impacts in the city of Turin (Italy) and Kielce (Poland). Applying different social network analysis techniques, the article finds that in both cities there is a tendency towards preferring similar partners. However, while the influence of affiliation is relevant to predict the access to policy making in Turin, in Kielce, this influence is mediated by the actor’s centrality in the social sphere. In both cities, networks are characterized by the higher centrality of Catholic organizations, which also translate in a greater involvement in the political sphere. Twenty-five years after the end of the cold war, past-affiliation is still a strong predictor of political involvement and impacts on the shape of local governance structure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
