Democracy in schools: qualitative analysis of pupils’ experiences of democracy in the context of the Norwegian school
2021
A limited number of empirical studies have explored pupils’ democratic practice and the direct experiences of school children using a qualitative approach. The aim of the present study has been to analyse pupils’ experiences of the practice of democratic rights in the context of the Norwegian school. The study adopts a qualitative methodology, using semi-structured interviews with pupils. Three prominent school arenas were focused on: the mandatory pupil-teacher dialogue, the pupil council and classroom discussions. Three main markers of democracy have been used in the data analysis: contextual openness, participation and the ability to engage in democratic discussions. The findings reveal …
The links between smart specialisation strategy, the quintuple helix model and living labs

Two Democracies Work Better Together. French and Italian decision-making processes for the Turin-Lyon railway project.
2013
The Pan-European Corridor V railway line connects Lisbon and Kiev and touches many European countries.

Hence, the analysis allows to compare the dynamics of the public debate in two democratic systems with different public decision-making systems and political cultures. While the French case evidences that public institutions can activate participation by providing “invited spaces” for collect…

Unravelling environment and politics in the Spanish press. From Franco’s dictatorship to democracy
2017
The 1970s and 1980s were key years for the consolidation of environmentalism and environmental communication. In Spain, the special political situation during General Franco’s military dictatorship conditioned the coverage of environmental issues, as did the transition to democracy. The Albufera Natural Park (Valencia, Spain) was a particularly significant case in this context, since it was involved in one of the first environmental protests to protect a natural area covered by Spanish media. In this paper, we study opinion articles published in the Valencian newspapers Las Provincias and Levante, in order to analyze the evolution of the environmental discourse in Spanish society from the d…
Il viaggio di Ernest Duvergier de Hauranne nell'America di Lincoln. Riflessioni sui vizi e le virtù della democrazia.
2020
Nel giugno del 1864 il giovane liberale francese Ernest Duvergier de Hauranne (1843-1877), cresciuto in una famiglia rispettosa delle tradizioni parlamentari della monarchia orleanista, inizia il suo viaggio verso gli Stati Uniti. In otto mesi di viaggio – con la guerra civile ancora in corso e le elezioni presidenziali che avrebbero riconfermato Lincoln alla presidenza – percorrerà gli Stati Uniti e il Canada proseguendo verso Cuba e le Antille. Quell’itinerario americano, che gli procurerà una lesione polmonare che sarà la causa della prematura morte avvenuta a soli trentaquattro anni, resterà documentato nelle lettere e note, pubblicate in dodici articoli nella «Revue des Deux Mondes» e …
LEADER en España : desarrollo rural, poder, legitimación, aprendizaje y nuevas estructuras
2000
El discurso en torno al cual gira el artículo es que en España la concepción de LEADER como instrumento de desarrollo rural, aún siendo creciente, no debe ocultar aquélla otra que lo concibe como un instrumento de poder político, social y económico. Entre ambas, los diferentes grupos de actores intentan legitimar parte de sus políticas o actuaciones a través de su participación en LEADER. El discurs al voltant del qual gira l'article és que a Espanya la concepció de LEADER com a instrument de desenvolupament rural no n'ha d'amagar una altra que l'entén com a instrument de poder polític, social i econòmic. Entre totes dues, els diferents grups d'actors tracten de legitimar part de les seues …
Testing for a Political Bias in Freedom House Democracy Scores: Are U.S. Friendly States Judged To Be More Democratic?
2012
Several scholars have criticized the Freedom House democracy ratings as being politically biased; do countries indeed incorrectly receive better ratings that have stronger political ties with the United States? Starting from the assumption that other indices of democracy can be used as benchmark data, different estimation strategies are employed to gauge whether differences between a number of alternative indices of democracy and the FH ratings can be explained in a systematic manner by variables that record relationships between the U.S. and the countries under investigation. Differentiating between the period before 1989 and after 1988, I obtain consistent evidence of a substantial bias i…
