A Neofunctionalist Perspective on the ‘European Refugee Crisis’: The Case of the European Border and Coast Guard
2017
Initial literature on the ‘European refugee crisis’ discerned intergovernmental tendencies in its management. This paper examines whether neofunctionalism may be able to explain a major case of ‘European refugee crisis’ policy-making, the negotiations on the European Border and Coast Guard regulation. We argue, somewhat counterintuitively, that the theory considerably furthers our respective understanding. The crisis acted as a catalyst exposing the weaknesses of a system that pitted a supranational Schengen against a largely intergovernmental external border regime, notwithstanding a developing Frontex. These dysfunctionalities have been widely fostered by both national and supranational d…
Institutional Logics in Police Performance Indicator Development : A Comparative Case Study of Spain and Finland
2015
Police performance is not easily measurable and the organization and circumstances of police work vary among European countries. Further, police work is surrounded by multiple pressures to make it both economical and effective. Consequently, there are multiple institutional logics in decision-making which may affect the selection and the use of police key performance indicators (KPIs). The KPI selection and use processes reflect the institutional logics, though KPI use may also sometimes influence the institutional logics of police work. In this study, we analyze the KPIs and institutional logics in police work in Finland and Spain. A comparative case research approach is used in order to h…
Responsabilidad social empresarial en banca. Su aplicación al caso de la banca cooperativa
2018
El concepto de RSE y las dimensiones que lo componen vienen determinados por las características particulares de las empresas en cada industria o sector económico en el que operan. Esto es así por cuanto la definición de la RSE y su aplicación está condicionada a la operatividad, medición e implantación en el contexto en el cual se lleva a cabo. Por este motivo, para analizar el comportamiento de la RSE en la banca cooperativa, que es el objetivo del presente trabajo, es importante realizar un estudio sobre las implicaciones y las particularidades de ésta en el sector bancario, es decir, en el conjunto de las denominadas entidades de crédito. Los bancos cooperativos, más conocidos en España…

Resonancia cultural y consonancia informativa como elementos favorecedores de la simbiosis discursiva entre activismo y periodismo en protestas educa…
2020
El movimiento neocon que impulsó la protesta contra Educación para la Ciudadanía se reactivó con el anuncio del Ejecutivo de Pedro Sánchez de introducir una nueva asignatura de valores cívicos y éticos en el currículo escolar. Esta investigación analiza los mensajes difundidos por las principales organizaciones conservadoras para determinar el protagonismo que este tema tuvo en su producción comunicativa y si responden a un marco de acción colectiva. Además, se contrasta dicho discurso con el que plantearon las mismas entidades entre 2004-2008 y se estudia su reproducción en la prensa ideológicamente afín. Se analizan los mensajes de estos grupos en Twitter (n = 131) y en sus webs (n = 11) …
THE ROLE OF EHEALTH IN DISASTERS: A STRATEGY FOR EDUCATION, TRAINING AND INTEGRATION IN DISASTER MEDICINE
2018
International audience; This paper describes the origins and progress of an international project to advance disaster eHealth (DEH)-the application of eHealth technologies to enhance the delivery of healthcare in disasters. The study to date has focused on two major themes; the role of DEH in facilitating inter-agency communication in disaster situations, and the fundamental need to promote awareness of DEH in the education of disaster managers and health professionals. The paper deals mainly with ongoing research on the second of these themes, surveying the current provision of disaster medicine education, the design considerations for a DEH programme for health professionals, the key curr…
Pathways to higher education in France and Switzerland: Do vocational tracks facilitate access to higher education for immigrant students?
2014
In this chapter we wish to clarify through which institutional pathways higher education is accessed by immigrant group students in Switzerland and France. We have chosen these two countries because they differ from each other both in their educational systems and in the ways new routes to higher education have been set up through vocationally orientated programmes. The educational landscape in France is characterised by a more school-based system and has a greater tradition of prestigious tertiary education institutions (Duru-Bellat et al., 2008). Moreover, traditional vocational education and training (VET) does not have very high status and therefore fails to attract a large proportion o…

Key Electoral Institutions and Rules Influencing Proportionality and Partisan Bias in Spanish Politics
2021
The current paper focuses on the Spanish electoral rules governing political competition for the central “Congreso de los Diputados”. It is well-documented that the system as a whole has traditionally favoured one or the other of the two main political parties (PP and PSOE) at the expense of proportionality and the remaining political parties. This paper focuses on some key Spanish electoral rules and investigates how much the observed biases could be altered by introducing some alternative rules taken from the Swedish electoral system, ceteris paribus. Measures of disproportionality are made through the Loosemore–Hanby index and the Gallagher index. The electoral raw data used for our esti…
A Pedagogy of ht Subalterns: Gramsci and the Groups 'on the margins of history'
2017
In the 1980s, a group of South Asian scholars pioneered Subaltern Studies drawing on one of Gramsci’s most famous and used categories: the subaltern. This chapter attempts a philological analysis of Gramsci’s work to show how the use of this term has been at times incorrect, in part because of the lack, until recently, of complete translations of Gramsci’s writings. Subaltern Studies’ interpretation has arguably oriented Gramsci’s notion of the subaltern to the ethical and political needs of an emancipatory project. This does not completely undermine the fruitfulness of a scholarship capable of using a concept which had been previously neglected in defining marginal individuals without bind…
