The salience of issues beyond the ethno-territorial cleavage confirms the thesis that, in the process of moving from dissociative to associative conflict resolution, ethnic issues in South Tyrol are having less influence not only on electoral demand but increasingly also on electoral supply. This trend is confirmed by the positional convergence between the South Tyrolean People’s Party and the Lega, with a particular novelty being the pro-peripheral position of an Italian statewide party belonging to the (populist) radical right.
