Bartolini is the editor of the Italian political science journal, Italian Political Science Review.
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. In terms of aggregate scores, the gains of parties within a bloc, whether left-wing or right-wing, were offset by the losses of other parties within the same bloc. [3]
According to Bartolini, the integration of Europe reverses the centuries-long process of national boundary construction. This provides "exit options" for individuals who had previously been bounded to their nation of birth. [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).

In political science and sociology, a cleavage is a historically determined social or cultural line which divides citizens within a society into groups with differing political interests, resulting in political conflict among these groups. Social or cultural cleavages thus become political cleavages once they get politicized as such. Cleavage theory accordingly argues that political cleavages predominantly determine a country's party system as well as the individual voting behavior of citizens, dividing them into voting blocs. It is distinct from other common political theories on voting behavior in the sense that it focuses on aggregate and structural patterns instead of individual voting behaviors.
