Imagined communities against the tide? The questioned political projection of nationalism
2017
This article deals with the validity of Anderson’s definition of imagined communities and the future of imagination typical of nationalism. It is based on bibliographic review and research on the case of Cerdanya. Three questions of Anderson’s definition are revised: the limitation of the nation, its supposedly inherent sovereignty and the sense of community among unknown people. In this last point, the text focuses also on the consequences that imagined community is embodied for known people every day. It concludes that the production of local identities and dynamics in global, local and regional level represents a challenge for the political projection of imagined communities. Nevertheles…
Beyond Representative Democracy: Real Democracy and Social Movements in the Spanish State
2017
Los procesos participativos son un elemento central en los debates teóricos sobre la calidad de la democracia y sus actuales procesos de transformación. Si en los análisis teóricos se problematiza el objetivo de la participación, las dificultades aumentan al analizar experiencias concretas que buscan articular las dinámicas de la participación con la profundización de la democracia. Reflexionamos sobre la cuestión a partir de Jesús Ibáñez. En primer lugar, se aborda el tema de la crisis de la democracia liberal y los problemas que ésta acarrea para legitimar una democracia incapaz de contrarrestar la hegemonía de los mercados. A continuación, analizamos el resurgimiento de un tipo de democr…
Dabas tēli Annijas Proulksas romānā “Kuģu ziņas”
2016
Mūsdienās ar dabu saistīti temati ir kļuvuši plaši izplatīti un būtiski. Priekšstats par to, ka cilvēce nodara bojājumus dabai ir nozīmīgs, un veidi kā saglabāt dabu patstāvīgi tiek meklēti un pētīti. Pats fakts, ka šādas tēmas ir kļuvušas populāras laikā, kad urbanizācija, industrializācija un globalizācija kļūst arvien izplatītākas, ir pārsteidzošs. Stājoties pretī globalizācijai, cilvēce ir atcerējusies par dabas nozīmību un par to ka cilvēki un daba ir nenovēršami saistīti. Līdz ar to, šajā darbā tiek pētīti dabas tēli Annijas Proulksas stāstā Kuģu ziņas, jo tajā tiek aplūkoti iepriekšminētie temati. Šī darba hipotēze ir, ka dabas tēli savā būtībā ir cilvēku izgudrojums, kurš rodas cilv…

Modes of innovation and differentiated responses to globalisation - a case study of innovation modes in the Agder region, Norway
2011
Published version of an article in the jounal: Journal of the Knowledge Economy. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13132-011-0060-9 The main argument of this paper is that firms and industries are dominated by different innovation modes and that they therefore respond differently to challenges of globalisation. The paper differentiates between three modes: science, technology and innovation (STI), doing, using and interacting (DUI) application mode and the DUI technological mode. These innovation modes are based on different dominant knowledge bases, modes of learning and external knowledge. What is the implication of these differences with regard to competing…

Motorcycle Hill Climbing. Sport and social media in a global perspective. The contribution aims to reconstruct the history, rules and diffusion of the Motorcycle hill climbing (MHC) sport; inserted among the categories of Enduro competitions, the MHC represents an extreme discipline divided into championships organized all over the world. The article, starting from a descriptive approach, will try to give a picture of the spatial diffusion of the main MHC events and the public flows generated, focusing in particular on the main European competitions. The article will then explore the relational and community dynamics that develop in some of the social networking platforms dedicated to the d…
Labour market response to globalisation: spain, 1880-1913
2010
Abstract This paper analyses the impact of globalisation (trade and migration) on the Spanish labour market between 1880 and 1913 by examining the influence that globalisation factors had on agricultural and industrial wages. Our results show that the nineteenth century grain invasion had a negative impact on agricultural wages, whereas the fall in wheat prices did not benefit industry workers. We also found that migration pushed up real agricultural and industrial wages. As agriculture was the main sector in the economy, the final impact was a wage decrease. The negative impact of trade on agricultural and industrial labour markets partly explains the trade policy response of “integral pro…
The Sources of Global Administrative Law
2021
International audience; The "Global administrative law" emerged in the United States in the mid-2000s as a research project aimed at observing and promoting the development of administrative-type norms beyond the state: transparency of international decision-making processes, motivation of decisions, emergence of appeals, etc. GAL's doctrine starts from the questionable assumption that classical international law, too stato-centric, would not allow the analysis of these phenomena. In particular, it rejects the notion of the source of law, but retains certain reflexes marked by classicism by excluding multinational companies from the reflection. An analysis of the limits of the GAL has there…
Les frontières de la libre circulation dans le football européen : vers une mondialisation des flux de joueurs?
2005
Les frontières étatiques sont de moins en moins pertinentes pour définir les limites entre territoires souverains. En termes de mobilité des personnes, cependant, bien que parfois déplacées à la périphérie de nouveaux territoires en gestation, elles continuent à jouer un rôle primordial dans le contrôle et la régulation des flux, surtout pour les migrants non qualifiés. Notre article se concentre sur le cas des footballeurs professionnels, une population le plus souvent considérée comme faisant partie d’une élite migratoire bien intégrée dans un marché du travail mondial, pour laquelle les frontières n’ont plus d’importance. En réalité, nous mettons en exergue l’existence de logiques géogra…
La citoyenneté assignée à résidence. Le rôle du registre national belge dans un contexte d’hypermobilité.
2022
Cet article interroge le lien entre l’existence administrative et l’ancrage par le domicile, depuis la mise en place des registres de population durant la période révolutionnaire, jusqu’au contexte actuel caractérisé par la globalisation et l’hypermobilité. En effet, au cours des dernières décennies, le développement des moyens de transports et de communication ont amené une augmentation de la mobilité humaine. Pourtant, depuis ses prémices, la citoyenneté a toujours élu domicile.
