Graduate Studies of Global Change at the University of Latvia
2010
In 2008 the University of Latvia (UL) completed an 18-month project of innovation – design, preparation and pilot-test of a 4-semester programme of trans-disciplinary graduate studies in “science, global change, and technologies for sustainable development” based on the experience the project team had acquired during 1997–2006 endorsing studies in “physics and technologies for sustainable development” and organizing two international conferences on “integrative approaches towards sustainability”. Within the project activities 25 members from faculties of natural sciences of the UL prepared and tested innovative courses of a 2 semester pilot programme comprising 4 modules, the audience being…

Negotiator and arbitrator: The activity of the Regent Melchor Sisternes during the Sardinian Parliament of 1677-1678
2018
Durante la Edad Moderna, el reino de Cerdeña contó con una importante institución propia de carácter representativo: el Parlamento. A diferencia de lo que ocurría en las Cortes de los reinos peninsulares de la Corona de Aragón, en Cerdeña estas nunca fueron presididas por los monarcas, quienes delegaban esa tarea en sus virreyes. Este trabajo analiza las funciones desempeñadas por el regente de la Cancillería de Cerdeña durante el transcurso de las sesiones parlamentarias. La particularidad de que el Parlamento fuera presidido por el virrey confería a los regentes de la Cancillería un papel del que no gozaron en las Cortes de los reinos peninsulares, por tanto, se convertían en una figura p…

From the blogosphere into the parliament: The role of digital technologies in organizing social movements
2019
Abstract In this paper, we present a process model exploring the roles played by digital technologies (DTs) in the organization of collective action (CA) of social movements (SMs) at different points in their lifecycles. The process model, which is based on an exploratory case study of the Italian Five Star Movement, relates the environmental conditions to the working logic, structure and use of DTs at three different stages of the SMs. We explain how these choices are adopted at each stage to address internal and environmental challenges and how they create further challenges to be addressed to pass to the next stage. We further explore the dynamics between the logic of connective and coll…
The Selection and Deselection of Technocratic Ministers in Democratic Spain
2017
This chapter analyses the presence of non-political ministers in the Spanish cabinet in the democratic period since 1977, where one out of five ministers did not belong to the ruling party at the time of her appointment and one out of three can be considered as a non-political minister. By observing the selection and deselection of these individuals, it shows the cabinet dynamic behind the ministerial appointments and the differences between the more political type of ministers and those coming from outside political pathways. Despite some outstanding exceptions, non-political ministers are often recruited from outside the parliament and have fewer chances to develop a relevant ministerial …
Deliberative Rhetoric of Parliamentary Debate
2018
The chapter deals with the parliamentary moves of debating. Parliamentarisation can be connected to practice of debate pro et contra. Parliamentary rhetoric is no merely eloquence or oratory in the classical sense, but parliamentary politics has modified the deliberative genre of rhetoric to a debate between multiple agents in line with the parliamentary procedure. Parliamentary politics is understood as the activity of all members participating in the debate and rhetoric then considers the styles of politicking as moves in the debate, in which the act of debating enjoys a priority over the final decisions. The chapter presents how different faces of rhetoric—genres, maxims, topoi, figures …
Degrees of Acting Parliamentarily
2018
The chapter deals with the distinct chances to extend parliamentary thinking of politics beyond parliaments in ordinary sense and discuss its limits. The point of comparing the parliamentary paradigm with other types of politics, such as intra-party struggles or multilateral diplomacy, lies in constructing a spectrum from the parliament to other assemblies. To analyse parliamentary degree of politics for example the prefixes as proto-, semi-, quasi- or pseudo-parliamentary assemblies are analysed. A special case lies in the relationships between academic and parliamentary debates based on the recognition of the dissensus, but having for example different relationships to written and oral de…
Obywatelskie prawo wyboru kandydatów do Parlamentu Europejskiego–przykład Republiki Chorwacji
2019
Celem niniejszego artykułu jestanaliza przyczyn korzystania w niewielkim stopniu przez mieszkańców Chorwacji z obywatelskiego prawa wyboru kandydatów do Parlamentu Europejskiego.Wybory z ostatnich lat pokazują jednak, że zainteresowanie obywateli nie jest zbyt duże. Społeczeństwo Chorwacji nigdy nie było nadmiernie euroentuzjastyczne. Wynika to z kilku powodów, m.in. trudnych doświadczeń funkcjonowania w Jugosławii, co spowodowało, że Chorwaci nie są pozytywnie nastawieni do cedowania prerogatyw państwowych na rzecz innych podmiotów. Ponadto panuje powszechna obawa przed podporządkowaniem interesów krajowych większym państwom europejskim. Bardzo trudne do zaaprobowania były warunki stawiane…
Eurosceptic Contagion and European Elections
2021
At the onset, the starting perspective here has been that the main arena for political struggle is the national one. One of the most influential approaches in the study of European and European Union politics has been the second-order election thesis (Reif & Schmitt, 1980). According to this school of thought, elections to the European Parliament have actually functioned as somewhat less important national elections (hence second order, akin to US midterm elections), and the main arena for political conflict over EU policy lies at the national level. This book has so far largely shared these assumptions and premises and has as a consequence focused on the effect of Eurosceptic Parties’ succ…
