El ocaso del primer imperio mexicano. Agitación política y planes monárquicos en 1823

2021

La abdicación de Agustín de Iturbide al trono de México en 1823 y su posterior exilio desataron tensiones políticas que radicalizaron las posiciones ideológicas de quienes deseaban su regreso. La movilización popular simpatizante de la monarquía y la ruptura federalista en las provincias provocaron una crisis política e incertidumbre sobre el futuro del país. La inestabilidad e indefinición de la situación política en ese año propiciaron conspiraciones a favor del imperio. Este trabajo pretende acercarse a algunos de esos planes conspirativos dirigidos a mantener viva la opción monárquica desde las posiciones moderadas hasta las menos conocidas, pero plenamente ultramontanas. Para ello se e…

Debating federal Europe in the British Parliament, c. 1940–49

2017

AbstractFederalism, or the fear of it, worked as a catalyst in the British pre-referendum debate on Brexit in June 2016. In this paper, we focus on the pre-European integration context and ask what kind of an alternative federalism was seen to afford in British politics during and after the Second World War. We limit our discussion to parliamentary debates, which have only rarely been used as primary sources for studying European integration history. The British Parliament was one of the key political arenas for debates on foreign policy, not just in terms of informing the party lines but also guiding the public discussion. In the early part of the 1940s, the British federalist movement was…

Constructing Proletarian Nation(s): PSOE Internationalism in the Second Republic (1931–1932)

2023

Este artículo busca mejorar nuestra comprensión de la naturaleza del internacionalismo socialista, en particular considerando el lugar de la nación en su funcionamiento y esencia. Para ello, se utiliza el concepto de internacionalismo para estudiar el caso particular del Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) durante la Segunda República española. En el primer apartado, nos centramos en la reunión de la ejecutiva de la Federación Internacional de Sindicatos (IFTU) en Madrid en 1931, y las posteriores celebraciones del Primero de Mayo en la ciudad. En el segundo, analizamos el uso del internacionalismo por parte del PSOE en los debates sobre la descentralización del Estado republicano. Est…

Once again : testing for regional homogeneity

1987

. Summarizing the foregoing discussions in this journal on testing for regional homogeneity the present note shows that in the model of Zellner's seemingly unrelated regressions one test statistic may be used not only to test for overall homogeneity but also to examine for individual coefficient homogeneity. This aim is achieved by varying the linear restrictions in the test statistic according to different problems. To illustrate these tests regional consumption functions for the 11 Bundeslader (States) of the Federal Republic of Germany are used.

Is the Distinction between State Continuity and State Succession Reality or Fiction?

Legal and Political Determinants of Implementation of the Principle of Subsidiarity in the Federal Republic of Germany

2015

It is not surprising that subsidiarity is very often discussed with autonomy and federation (equally multidimensional concepts, similarly discussed in science). It is clearly evident taking into account, for example, results of analysis of the key words (tags) in scientific publications. The European Union has significantly contributed in popularizing of the concept so it is no surprise that strongly linked with EU's problems has become a central point of the discussion of its organizational structure and internal relationships between forming elements. It is difficult to imagine analysis of the conditions for implementing of subsidiarity in Germany without prior presentation of the state p…

The assignment of powers in an open-ended European Union

2003

Presented at CESIFO Conference “A Constitution for the EU”, February 2003; International audience; A major characteristic of the European Union is its transitional or evolving nature, in particular with regard to the assignment of powers between the two main levels of government. More precisely, under current constitutional arrangements, this evolving nature takes the form of an integration process which tends to be monotonous, that is, which can only with great difficulty be reversed. The paper is mainly devoted to the explanation of how this comes about and what effects this has on other features of the process. As a concluding remark, however, it suggests that an additional criterion for…

Horizontal competition in multilevel governmental settings

2013

28 pages; Governments situated on the same level of a multi-level governmental system compete with each other as well as with governments placed higher or lower. This paper is concerned with horizontal competition only. It discusses both competition based on the mobility of agents and competition based on comparisons of performance across jurisdictions - i.e., yardstick competition. With regard to the first kind, the focus is on the capacity of governments and voters to decide policies in spite of the mobility of agents. Some attention is also given to non-standard mechanisms in which mobility is manipulated so as to change the structure of the electorate. The paper considers two forms of h…

How significant is yardstick competition among governments? Three reasons to dig deeper

2013

22 pages; The significance of yardstick competition among governments is now confirmed with regard to fiscal variables. This is an important result but the significance of the mechanism must also be sought in a context broader than that of fiscal federalism and without limitation to relations and processes fully observable. Three points are made. Even in the case of governments trying to mimic each other over a single variable, additional variables are involved in an important way. Yardstick competition can be latent without being ineffective. Its major effect, then, is to set bounds to the choices that office-holders could think of making. Finally, the mechanism is a hidden albeit essentia…
