Does government spending boost economic growth in Europe?
2016
The article aims to analyse the evolution of budgetary expenditures and their relationship with economic growth, especially in the EU countries and three non-EU countries - Switzerland, Norway and Iceland during 1991 - 2012. To test the link between government spending and economic growth the research used the United Nation Classification of the Functions of Government and three econometrical regression methods – ordinary least square, least squares dummy variable and the generalized method of moments. Statistical results for the 10 categories of expenditure have shown that economic affairs, environmental protection, recreation, culture and religion and social protection have a significant …
La spirale du temp: feux et pains de saint Joseph en Sicile
2007
Le rappresentazioni del tempo e dello spazio variamente declinate nella storia dall’homo religiosus, in quanto traduzioni culturali -ossia riduzioni antropologicamente accessibili-, della naturale totalità dell’essere nel suo divenire, si riflettono e si esibiscono, oltre che nelle credenze, nei miti, nell’organizzazione dei sistemi sociali, etc. con particolare evidenza nei riti religiosi a carattere festivo: questo tanto a livello della loro organizzazione calendariale quanto a quello della strutturazione degli specifici iter rituali e dei relativi contenuti simbolici. Le feste, infatti, agite in tempi e spazi definiti, da un lato disgiungono, perimetrando e connotando ritualmente, dunque…
Análisis de parejas y familias mixtas: Estudio de las competencias interculturales, estrés y funcionamiento familiar desde una perspectiva psicoeduca…
2022
Los flujos migratorios han originado importantes cambios en la sociedad española en lo que respecta a nuevas formas de uniones familiares, como es el caso de las parejas mixtas. Las uniones mixtas, interculturales y/o interétnicas han sido valoradas hasta el momento como un indicador de buena acogida e “integración social” en la sociedad, si bien no es un resultado que se haya demostrado en la literatura científica y existen discrepancias con esta afirmación. La mayoría de los estudios indican que en las parejas mixtas la satisfacción marital y la posibilidad de integración en la cultura de acogida pueden ser desarrolladas a través de la pareja. Estudios previos han llevado a pensar que deb…
When earwig mothers do not care to share: Parent–offspring competition and the evolution of family life
2017
Kin competition often reduces – and sometimes entirely negates – the benefits of cooperation among family members. Surprisingly, the impact of kin competition on the fitness effects of family life only received close scrutiny in studies on sibling rivalry, whereas the possibility of parent–offspring competition has attracted much less attention. As a consequence, it remains unclear whether and how parent–offspring competition could have affected the early evolution of parental care and family life. Here, we examined the occurrence and consequences of parent–offspring competition over food access in the European earwig Forficula auricularia, an insect with facultative family life reminiscent…

From estate representation to the representation of the people and the nation in the Age of Revolutions
2020
In the Age of Revolutions, the legitimacy of political rule was increasingly derived in Western countries from popular sovereignty realised through parliamentary representation. This chapter analyses how the members of the representative institutions in Britain, France and Sweden attempted to solve tensions between popular sovereignty and representation during a revolutionary or evolutionary transition from the early modern representation of the interests of estates by delegates to the representation of the people by individual members. We also consider the American, Dutch and German assemblies and transnational interaction between political cultures. Tensions between the concepts of repres…

The empowerment of parliament in the transition from an authoritarian to a democratic regime : Indonesian experiences and problems
2018
This article presents the experiences and problems of the Indonesian parliament, or DPR (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat), during the transition from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one, in 1999–2004. Despite empowerment through the amended constitution and political laws, the DPR did not significantly change its parliamentary procedure and practices. The problems in the DPR actually lie in its procedure. The DPR procedure and the parliamentary debates retain the authoritarian tradition that favours the executive government (president), encouraging small groups of commissions to take the decisions and to discuss parliamentary tasks outside the plenary session. Aspects of parliamentary proce…
"The Dutch Legacy in the Indonesian Parliament"
2013
th century; Parliamentary procedure Abstract The Indonesian parliament, the DPR, today presents its similar characteristics as the Dutch parliament in the 19 th century. The historical trajectories show that when establishing the core of the parliament institution, the founding fathers copied what the colonial government had been practiced, and maintained during the authoritarian regime in Indonesia, accordingly the Dutch legacy lingered. Consequently, in the wave of democratic era, after the fall of the authoritarian president, the same institution should have adapted itself into a more democratic institution, but remained weak due to its outdated characteristics. This paper shows the hist…
