Kā veicināt atturību studentu vidū: vienas organizācijas un vairāku morāļu gadījums
2019
Izmantojot morāles antropoloģijas pieeju un sekojot Aristotelim un Fuko, es pētu veidus, kā studentu organizācija veicina atturību no alkohola. Balstoties feminisma pieejā, izmantojot līdzdalīgo novērojumu un padziļinātas intervijas, es parādu, kā organizācijas biedri interpretē un ievieš skaidra dzīvesveida popularizēšanu studentu vidū. Tieša popularizēšana šķita neiespējama viņu minoritātes statusa dēļ, kā arī tādēļ, ka tā bija pretrunā ar viņu izpratni par izvēles brīvību. Atturību veicina, rādot piemēru ārpus organizācijas esošajiem, un atbalsta, izmantojot līdzvērošanu (sousveillance) starp tās biedriem. To nodrošina punktiņu sistēma, kas, sākotnēji iecerēta kā audita sistēma, praksē l…
Kompetencje informacyjne i kompetencje medialne wobec procesów zarządzania uwagą masowej publiczności
2017
Informacja, uznawana za czynnik wiedzy wspomagający procesy podejmowania decyzji, towarzyszy tradycyjnie procesom zarządzania. Poszukiwanie informacji traktowane jest jako proces kognitywny i heurystyczny, inicjujący pozyskiwanie danych z otoczenia. Artykuł akcentuje znaczenie kompetencji informacyjnych, rozumianych jako umiejętności poszukiwania i selekcji informacji oraz kompetencji medialnych, polegających na zdolności do rozumienia, analizowania, oceny i tworzenia przekazów medialnych, w czasach zalewu przestrzeni komunikacyjnej przez fałszywe wiadomości i dane, dezinformację, półprawdy i propagandę. Kompetencje te rozważane są w kontekście procesów zarządzania uwagą masowego audytorium…

Modeling Political Corruption in Spain
2021
Political corruption is a universal phenomenon. Even though it is a cross-country reality, its level of intensity and the manner of its effect vary worldwide. In Spain, the demonstrated political corruption cases that have been echoed by the media in recent years for their economic, judicial and social significance are merely the tip of the iceberg as regards a problem hidden by many interested parties, plus the shortage of the means to fight against it. This study models and quantifies the population at risk of committing political corruption in Spain by identifying and quantifying the drivers that explain political corruption. Having quantified the problem, the model allows changes to be …
The renaissance of tramways and urban redevelopment in France
2017
Abstract Tramways have made a remarkable comeback in France since the 1980s. An organization of public transport based on the decentralized administration system set up in the early 1980s has allowed local urban authorities to make their own choices to develop public transport networks in the context of automobile domination. As in many other countries, worries about fossil fuel dependency and demands concerning sustainable urban development appear as strong elements in favour of urban light rail. However, in France, tramways are not just technical solutions for traffic congestion, they have also become a symbol of a cultural mutation in urban development planning. Coupled with a national p…
The role of collective action for the emergence and consolidation of democracy
2020
AbstractThe role of citizens' collective action for the emergence and consolidation of democracy is generally analysed within bottom-up theories. However, top-down theories show that elites might impede or promote both democracy and collective action through a set of strategies which are often unobserved and vary over time. Democratic persistence and change require then to be assessed in a dynamic framework which considers both citizens and elites' strategies. For such reason, on a large sample of countries in the period 1971–2014, we jointly estimate the probability of collective action and democracy using a Structural Dynamic Model. This allows us to account for the dynamic nature of the …
The Calatrava model: reflections on resilience and urban plasticity
2016
ABSTRACTThe article introduces a critical reflection on the effects that the version of cultural capitalism based on large events and architectural symbols has on the resilience of cities when used as an engine, and not as a complement to the policies of urban transformation. The article introduces as a case of study the so-called ‘Calatrava model’ of the city of Valencia. The model of a cultural bubble of Valencia, designed to enable a new space, is developed and contrasted with other two examples of urban transformation designed to revitalize spaces: Bilbao – symbolically represented by Frank Gehry's Guggenheim museum – and the Barcelona 22@ – symbolically represented by Jean Nouvel's Agb…
The Security–Development Nexus in European Union Foreign Relations after Lisbon: Policy Coherence at Last?
2016
One of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty's objectives was to enhance the coherence of EU-level foreign relations by improving collective action. Policy-level innovations included ‘comprehensive’ and ‘joined-up’ approaches linking EU instruments and actors, especially the Commission and the new European External Action Service. Have these reforms improved policy coherence? We focus on a key EU policy domain illustrating Europe's engagement with the changing global context: the security–development nexus. Although we find that collective action has improved somewhat since 2010, decision-making is affected by bureaucratic actors catering to specific constituencies. Accordingly, the coherence of security …
France After the Liberation: The Labour Movement, the Employers and the Political Leaders in Their Struggle with the Social Movement
2018
The French defeat in the spring of 1940 and the ensuing German occupation, as well as the establishment of the authoritarian Vichy regime, made it theoretically impossible for social movements to emerge; that is to say, to allow the development of mobilisation(s) and challenge(s) to authority within companies and/or against any aspect of government policy. However, in the summer of 1940 and a fortiori from 1941 onwards, resistance movements were born precisely because of their ability to convey the discontent of the French society and to use its momentum. In this sense, the French Resistance undoubtedly was a social movement, whose members were leading a ‘normal’ life as civilians under occ…
