Italian politics has been a <em>leit motiv<\/em> of her career: one of her first articles was entitled &#8220;Between Workers and Union: Factory Councils in Italy&#8221;. Italy remained at the center of Carol\u2019s interest also when working on coalition formation, party switching and legislative voting.<\/p>\n<p>She is a member of various editorial boards of well-known political science journals, and we are particularly proud of the fact that the <em>Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica<\/em> (Italian Political Science Review) is currently one of them. Her interest towards Italian politics emerges also from other publications (such as the co-edited 2004 volume of the <em>Politica in Italia<\/em> series) and her leadership roles (particularly significant to us: CONGRIPS President between 2003 and 2005).<\/p>\n<p>Carol, congratulations!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; We are very pleased to announce that CONGRIPS\u2019 Executive Committee has selected Professor Carol Mershon as recipient of the 2018 CONGRIPS Life Achievement Award. &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":391,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305\/revisions\/391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
