Brexit and Anti-Parliament Discourses among Conservative MPs (2016–2019)
2020
Abstract Brexit seems to have produced a new form of narrative in the Conservative Party in which some Conservative MPs brand themselves first and foremost as representatives of ‘the people’. Following on from the 2016 EU referendum, a new discourse has become prominent in the party and has also been developed as a new critique of the British Parliament. An analysis of Hansard debates between July 2016 and December 2019 helps identify different forms of anti-Parliament narrative which denounce the paralysis of the legislative process as well as its anti-democratic and conspiratorial features. By doing so, they reveal a radical departure from the historic values of the Conservative party suc…

Pašvaldību referendumu ieviešana Latvijā
2017
Maģistra darbā „Pašvaldību referendumu ieviešana Latvijā” ir vērtēts, vai, ņemot vērā Latvijas valsts pārvaldes iekārtu un formu, kā arī demokrātisko attīstību, būtu nepieciešams ieviest pašvaldību referendumus kā tiešās demokrātijas līdzekli, kas uzlabotu un veicinātu vietējo pašvaldību iedzīvotāju iesaisti lēmumu pieņemšanas procesā. Ņemot vērā to, ka līdz šim jau ir bijuši vairāki mēģinājumi ieviest pašvaldību referendumus, taču visai neveiksmīgi, tas rada neskaidrību par iemesliem, kāpēc vairāk nekā divu dekāžu laikā nav izdevies pieņemt attiecīgu regulējumu. Varētu teikt, ka iespaidu uz Latvijas demokrātisko attīstību ir atstājis padomju laiks, jo visas trīs Baltijas valstis ir teju vi…
Sciopero e rappresentatività sindacale: un infelice connubbio
2018
Il contributo si colloca nell'ambito del dibattito scientifico e politico, in merito alla richiesta di una revisione dell’attuale normativa sullo sciopero nei servizi pubblici essenziali volta all’introduzione di una soglia minima di rappresentatività ai fini della legittima proclamazione dello sciopero; ovvero, in alternativa (in mancanza della rappresentatività necessaria), l’effettuazione di un referendum tra i lavoratori interessati. Accanto a ciò, si propone anche la previsione esplicita dell’obbligo, in capo ad ogni singolo lavoratore, di dichiarare preventivamente la propria adesione allo sciopero
Il Mezzogiorno alla ricerca di una strategia di sviluppo
2017
Il contributo esamina, anche la luce degli esiti del referendum sulla revisione costituzionale, i principali indicatori del grave disagio economico-sociale in cui versa il Sud e le misure adottate sul piano degli interventi finanziari e delle misure di perequazione in attuazione delle politiche di coesione economico-sociale nazionali ed europee. In particolare, viene analizzata la questione dell’inveramento del principio di addizionalitá dei fondi strutturali e del Fondo europeo per gli investimenti strategici (il c.d. “Piano Juncker”) rispetto al Masterplan per il Mezzogiorno ed ai “Patti per il Sud” ed alle misure di coesione adottate per la riduzione del divario economico-sociale e per l…
