	Centrism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In politics, centrism usually refers to the political ideal of promoting moderate policies which land in the middle ground between different political extremes.
		Most commonly, this is visualized as part of the one-dimensional political spectrum of Left-Right politics, with centrism landing in the middle between left-wing politics and right-wing politics.
		Traditionally, politics was based on ideology - whereby a democratic government is formed between two or more conflicting ideologies - eg.

	Politics of Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Politics of Austria takes place in a framework of a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Chancellor is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
		The constitutional framework of the Politics of Austria and the marrow of the constitution's practical implementation are widely agreed to be robust and adequately conducive to peaceful change.
		During periods of coalition government by the two large political camps, conservatives and social democrats, this has led to a system called Proporz, where all jobs in the public administration were evenly distributed to supporters of the two parties.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Features \| What's in a centre?
		As Mustafa Kamel El-Sayed, political science professor at Cairo University and former director of the university's Centre for Developing Countries Studies, told Al-Ahram Weekly, the problem in assembling statistics is that centres vary widely in their nature, aims and objectives, as well as in the parent institutions under whose wing they have emerged.
		According to Bahgat Korani, AUC political science professor and head of the university's Middle East Studies Programme, political studies centres tend to be inferior to their counterparts in law or economics.
		According to Abdel-Moneim Said, director of Al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic studies, the main objective of such centres in the West is "to gather information and provide all sectors of society with both research and alternatives regarding the hot issues".

		Politically the seven political parties and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) in the recent past managed to move closer together.
		The weakening or splitting of the political parties is synonym to the squeezing of the democratic political centre among the two armed actors.
		However, sustainable peace depends on an empowered democratic centre strong enough to urge: the Palace to draw a different road map which is driven by political rather than military issues; the new map must guide the Palace back into the triangular position.

	Seminar 2: What is (and is not) centre-right? : Sussex European Institute : University of Sussex
		However, though the centre right was forced by political competition to accommodate the leftist mood of the post war world, that did not entail that its distinctive ideology had disappeared.
		If in the past the centre right (especially conservative and religious parties) opposed modernity, in the contemporary period its focus has been on defending a version of modernity which is challenged by the destabilising nature of capitalism and modernity.
		Closer examination of the programmes reveals that this shift away from the centre was not the result of a more pronounced emphasis on free market liberalism, but was instead mainly a consequence of a marked reduction in the space afforded to socio-economic interventionism and a heightened interest in traditionalist themes.

	European Political Science - Spring 2002 (1.2) - State Formation, Nation-Building and Mass Politics in Europe: The ...
		To the extent that Rokkan has a (general) theory of political behaviour, the basic assumption seems to be that all interests strive to become institutionally embedded in the structures of the nation state, and ultimately, command the executive powers of the state.
		Consolidation of democratic regimes is analysed as a complex process whereby economic, social and cultural interests have to pass the critical stages (thresholds) of legitimisation, incorporation, representation and accession to the executive powers in order to be integrated in the nation state.
		He argued that the legitimacy of any political centre can only be built by the development of institutional structures that incorporate territorially based interests into the exercise of functionally defined regulatory power.

		“Political parties in this country have made the mistake of saying the centre is occupied, so they steer their politics to the far right or the far left.
		Grace Skogstad, a professor of political ccience at the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus, believes that Rae’s ability to combine practicality and left-wing political theory into his arguments is what makes him such an engaging speaker.

	About the Copenhagen Polis Centre
		Re (3) Polis in the sense of »Town« and in the sense of »Political Commu-nity«.
		But in the classical period every known polis seems to have been centred on a conurbation (walled or unwalled), and whenever the term polis is used in the sense of conurbation it denotes a town which was also the political centre of a polis in the sense of political community.
		In this context the "atom" of the polis is the citizen (polites).

	The Nationalism Project: Competing National Ideologies Chapter I
		As such, movement activism is a vehicle, for political mobilisation against the centre, and the creation of an autonomous political space, is a consequence of the failure of the state to facilitate the advancement of a given political community due to the exclusive nature of its competing ideational formation.
		Party political organisations were not only dependent entirely on the continuance of the established electoral system, but their innately hierarchical structure meant that upcoming elites found it very difficult to get their demands heard (Gildea 1997: 35; see Melucci 1989).
		In such political circumstances, new forms of political expression were sought that aimed not only at forming a focal point for future mobilisation of political discontent, but also creating the political space considered necessary to facilitate political mobilisation outside government run political structures (Giddens 1994; della Porta 1995; della Porta and Rucht 1995).

	Structure and development of political parties — Virtual Finland
		The first party political platform was approved in 1972, and has since been supplemented by the extension of the Party's Christian ideology to various sectors of social policy.
		However, in 1986 the Liberals officially decided to leave the Centre Party fold, and Harri Holkeri's blue-red coalition government formed in l987 effectively ended the centrist cooperation of the first half of the decade.
		It was the Centre Party which was most divided over the EU, being split down the middle on the question of membership at the time of the presidential election in 1994.

		Austria's general election tomorrow looks set to see a shift back to the political centre after previous elections isolated Vienna within the European Union by bringing the extreme right into power.
		The Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ), the smaller part of the Freedom party that split off last year at the initiative of Jörg Haider, once Europe's most successful rightwing leader, is another complication.
		While opinion polls suggest the splinter group - now headed by Peter Westenthaler - is heading for a devastating defeat, Mr Haider's style of far-right politics is expected to have a major impact because of the likely strong showing by the Freedom party from which both men are now estranged.
