Sabiedrisko organizāciju loma Turcijas pievienošanās procesā ES.
2016
"Pilsoniskās sabiedrības organizācijas" ir vienas no būtiskākajiem spēlētājiem pēdējā laika sarunu procesos ar Turciju un ES. Eiropas Savienība pievērš lielu uzmanību tam, lai veidotu kontaktu un sadarbotos ar pilsoniskās sabiedrības organizācijām kandidātvalstīs. Šajā kontekstā Turcija, kā kandidātvalsts, cenšas turpināt šo procesu pilsoniskās sabiedrības dialoga ietvaros, kas pirms tam ir ticis palēnināts politiskās situācijas dēļ, lai gan Turcijas ES kandidatūra ir kalpojusi par kritisku izvērtējumu Turcijas PSO vēsturiskajam insitucionālismam. Vēl jo vairāk, ES Eiropas Komisijas ģenerālsekretārs un Eiropas Komisijas delegācija Turcijā cenšas paātrināt procesu ar daudzveidīgiem projektie…
Changing Policy Environments in Europe and the Resilience of the Third Sector
2020
Contains fulltext : 202754.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) In the article, we analyse the impact of changing policy environments on the development of the third sector in Europe. Based on the results of systematic comparative research in eight European countries (Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the UK), we identify commonalities and differences. In a three-step analysis, we examine policy changes, effects on the third sector and responses by third sector organizations (TSOs) in the social domain. Overall, the third sector in Europe has proven resilient. However, not only have public and private funding decreased, the process for acquiring suc…
Organised Crime and the Economy: a Framework for Policy Prescriptions
2014
In this paper we discuss policies to combat organised crime from the perspective of economic analysis. We introduce concepts such as supply and demand for Mafia and the implied notion of equilibrium to build a framework to classify the contexts in which organised crime interferes with the economy. We then use this framework to discuss policy interventions, distinguishing between policies implemented by the State and mobilisation of civil society. We show that using the economic approach helps understand the aspect of persistence of criminal organisations and identify vicious circles of different nature. The broad spectrum of State policies identified includes norms on competition, on the ef…
Religious Engagement and the Migration Issue: Towards Reconciling Political and Moral Duty
2020
The increasingly acknowledged post-secular perspective has resulted in the emergence of some new approaches theorizing this phenomenon. One such approach has been the concept of religious engagement, which calls for the redefinition of the perception of religious non-state actors towards including them as important partners in the process of identifying and realizing political goals. According to this view, due to the multidimensional role played by religious communities and non-state religious actors, they need to be recognized as pivotal in creating a new form of knowledge generated through encounter and dialogue of the political decision-makers with these subjects. Among numerous others,…

Le commerce équitable et la société civile internationale : une chance pour la mondialisation d'un droit de l'économie solidaire
2003
SUMMARY The international trade law passes through a crisis of legitimacy following the inequitable character of its rules and the irrelevance of its principles to the peculiarities of the North-South relations. Being the legal translation of the capitalist free market economic system, these rules are to protect the mercantile and free trade values. In order to overcome this crisis the movement of fair trade has emerged and has since its origin been supported by members of the international civil society. Fair trade means taking into account the standard of living and the conditions of employment of the marginalized producers in developing countries so as to improve them. This study is an a…
