Transpoliittinen postdemokratia : Jean Baudrillardin poliittinen teoria ja sen relevanssi demokratian kriisin selittämisessä
2016
Tämän tutkielman aiheena on ranskalaisen sosiologin ja filosofin Jean Baudrillardin (1929–2007) poliittinen teoria. Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan Baudrillardin kulutusyhteiskuntaa, simulaatiota ja massoja koskevaa analyysiä poliittisena teoriana, joka on liitettävissä demokratian kriisiytymistä koskevaan keskusteluun. Tutkielma tarkastelee Baudrillardin tekstejä uudesta näkökulmasta, sillä Baudrillardia ei tyypillisesti lueta politiikan teoreetikkona, vaan hänet tunnetaan marxilaisesta kapitalismin kritiikistä sekä semioottisesta simulaation teoriastaan. Tutkielmassa perehdytään Baudrillardin laajassa tuotannossa esiin tuotuihin kulttuuriin ja yhteiskunnallisiin muutoksiin ja argumentoidaan nä…
How representative are referendums? Evidence from 20 years of Swiss referendums
2017
Direct democracy allows citizens to reverse decisions made by legislatures and even initiate new laws which parliaments are unwilling to pass, thereby, as its proponents argue, leading to more representative policies than would have obtained under a purely representative democracy. Yet, turnout in referendums is usually lower than in parliamentary elections and tends to be skewed towards citizens of high socio-economic status. Consequently, critics of direct democracy argue that referendum outcomes may not be representative of the preferences of the population at large. We test this assertion using a compilation of post-referendum surveys encompassing 148 national referendums held in Switze…
The 18th-century traditions of representation in a new age of revolution : History politics in the Swedish and Finnish parliaments, 1917−1919
2014
What happened to shared historical experiences in the discursive processes of constitutional reform in Sweden and Finland? This article examines the use of 18th-century history in early 20th-century politics. Building on a long-term survey of Swedish and Finnish estate and parliamentary debates, it analyses the political implications of differing national historiographies in the two successor states of the 18th-century Swedish realm, focusing on how the ancient past and collective (and often selective) memories of the Age of Absolutism, the Age of Liberty and the Gustavian Age were used by parliamentarians in constitutional debates. The analysis demonstrates how the Finnish polity continued…
Más allá de la retórica. ¿Qué queda en pie del bonum commune?
2021
En el artículo se propone un recorrido a través de algunos clásicos de la filosofía política que dedicaron una especial atención al tema tradicional del bonum commune –desde los clásicos griegos hasta Schumpeter–, con el fin de dilucidar qué sentido podría tener hoy el «bien común» (en singular). Antes de ello, a la vista del debate sobre el tema relativamente reciente de los «bienes comunes» (en plural), el artículo propone distinguir, e intenta buscar terrenos de compatibilidad posible, entre bien común y bienes comunes, no sin antes hacer alguna observación crítica sobre estos últimos. En conclusión, es necesario admitir que la destrucción schumpeteriana de la misma idea de bien común re…
Policies of Refugee Settlement and Integration in Europe: the Cases of Portugal and Finland
2019
Abstract Though geographically distant from each other, Portugal and Finland present an interesting comparison concerning the policies and devices of asylum. Both provide an informed and critical appraisal of the current international response to the refugee issue, especially considering the European Union. The Finnish situation evidences a long-standing integrated resettlement frame, associated with the inclusive and pluralistic character of Nordic immigration policies, in spite of the growing threat of regression under the emergent xenophobic pressure. Unlike Portugal, where a finely-tuned response system is still lacking in spite of the existence of an assumed political will and commitme…

Residential segregation of foreigners: an analysis of the Italian city of Palermo
2015
Ethnic residential segregation in Italy is an emerging key question, which will be crucial in the definition and implementation of both urbanistic and social policies. This paper focuses on this phenomenon in the Italian city of Palermo. We use individual data for all the population residing in the city at 31 December 2011, organized by ethnicity and district. Firstly, we describe the spatial distribution and the residential segregation of foreigners in the city, applying many different segregation measures. Among the others, we also apply the Duncan and Duncan dissimilarity index. Finally, we apply a recent methodological approach, which allows reducing the bias of the Duncan’s index…
Processi resilienti e controversie culturali nel care leaving
2022
The work moves in the field of applied anthropology and addresses the issue of the resilience of care leavers: young people who, after a long stay within residential structures, are preparing to enter society at the age of eighteen. Considering that resilient processes are not without pitfalls and threats, some conceptual axioms are proposed that are useful for considering the multi-dimensionality and cultural relativity that revolve around the resilient process within residential communities. All this will take place within a socio-cultural research and intervention perspective based on participatory and bottom-up approaches aimed at encouraging negotiation practices and settings between m…
Los problemas de agencia en las relaciones político-ciudadano dentro del régimen constitucional español contemporáneo
2018
Desde la transición política y con la firma de la constitución española de 1978 se han ido perpetrando ciertos problemas estructurales que han dificultado la representatividad de los ciudadanos así como la confianza en el agente que ha de representarles; de modo que la soberania popular se ha visto secuestrada por la burocracia de partidos que ha pasado a dictar la voluntad del pueblo. En esta investigación se lleva a cabo un repaso de los múltiples escollos que nuestra Carta Magna consagra, y se realiza un análisis de la coherencia interna respecto a la propia Constitución y los valores que en ella se promulgan.
Introdução. O Crime dos Poderosos e os Riscos para a Democrazia
2010
L’ingresso nel sistema transnazionale delle reti criminali non ha lasciato inalterato l’assetto organizzativo di quelle organizzazioni che sono riuscite a realizzarlo contribuendo a diversificare le loro attività e incidendo anche sulla loro immagine pubblica. Aumentano, infatti, le occasioni, le forme e le modalità di reciproca integrazione con la società civile, anche solo in termini di offerta di lavoro e di consumi. Insieme a nuove opportunità di occupazione per criminali professionisti, esse offrono prodotti e servizi ai cittadini. Del resto, l’integrazione con il sistema legale è molto più semplice, laddove si disponga di alleanze solide con il sistema politico ed economico. Nel tempo…
