Emerging Joint Expertise? Multiagency Collaboration Described in Local Integration Programmes in Finland

2016

Multiagency collaboration is seen as an essential way of working to promote the two-way integration of newcomers and a receiving society. The term multiagency collaboration underlines the diversity of actors in cooperation. Cross-sectorial networks are mentioned in higher strategies as well as in the local programmes or plans for action. But how is multiagency work structured at the local level? This article looks at the examples of multiagency collaboration in the written documents of local integration programmes in the Finnish context. The examples are chosen from different areas. It seems that collaboration is widely emphasized as a goal or a working method. Whereas expertise in integrat…

Outlying location of logistics activities : the example of the Burgundy in France

2015

International audience; This paper contributes to the understanding of spatial location of logistics activities in an outlying region. A quantitative analysis in Burgundy (French region) underlines the important polarization of warehousing developed in a limited area during 1980–1990s intensified during 2000s. The companies that locate their warehouses in Burgundy have different strategies that could explain this outlying location. For example, the low cost of land, favorable terms of tax system and the presence of a labour pool with an important unemployed rate incentive could incentive some companies to locate their warehouses in an outlying region like the Burgundy.

L’impresa mafiosa? Colletti bianchi e crimini di potere

2016

Assumendo una prospettiva multidisciplinare e partendo dai risultati di una ricerca condotta sul campo tra il 2013 e il 2015, il volume esamina il complesso network delle relazioni interne ed esterne a due gruppi di imprese sequestrate e confiscate per infiltrazioni mafiose, osservandone i cambiamenti negli aspetti economici, finanziari, organizzativi e sociali sia nel periodo che precede il sequestro o la confisca, sia nel periodo in cui il provvedimento è in corso. L’elevato dinamismo che caratterizza i crimini messi in atto dagli imprenditori coinvolti e il contesto in cui avvengono rendono assimilabili, sotto molti punti di vista, i casi considerati alla cosiddetta criminalità dei colle…

Liberalizacja rynku energetycznego – mity, przesłanki, uwarunkowania

2013

Liberalisation of energy markets, often wrongly understood as deregulation, has its own specifi cs, important from the analytical point of view. Implying the competition pressure on a specifi c market does not need to imply deregulation. Some markets require more and some less regulation, which does not necessarily mean resignation from free market rules. Standing to some principles, like for example: non-discrimination, equal competition rules, or equal access to resources, may result in a competitive, though highly regulated, market. In this text, the author puts into consideration the energy market on which energy production is treated as a commercial operation, whereas energy transmissi…

„Tylko marksiści kochają przeszłość”. Mit w perspektywie Piera Paola Pasoliniego

2022

Celem tekstu jest przybliżenie kategorii mitu w ujęciu Piera Paola Pasoliniego wykorzystanej do analizy powojennego społeczeństwa konsumpcyjnego na przykładzie dwóch figur mitycznych: Edypa i Medei. Ramą badawczą, jakiej użyje się przy spojrzeniu na omawianą tematykę będzie teoria mitu a także myśl Antonia Gramsciego oraz Waltera Benjamina, od których Pasolini uczył się patrzenia na klasowość i konsumpcjonizm. W pierwszej części artykułu wskazuje się na wyraźną analogię między teorią hegemonii Gramsciego oraz Benjaminowskim ujęciem kapitalizmu jako religii a twórczością filmową i literacką Pasoliniego. Druga część tekstu pokrótce analizuje filmy Król Edyp oraz Medea jako historyczny obraz s…

Logos’ Centrality and Expression in Martyria as a Superior Form of Dialogue

2021

This paper describes some motivations and outlines some limits regarding the possibility and necessity of interreligious, interconfessional, and interideological dialogue, in an attempt to improve our understanding of Orthodox Christianity’s role in these important aspects of domestic and foreign politics. This study aims to resolve the divergent opinions that exist in the Orthodox Church regarding the possibility of remaining in this kind of dialogue. The ancient philosophical mode of dialogue and the modern one are analyzed: dialogue as debate and negotiation. The study begins from the analysis of some technical terms describing the social and spiritual dimensions of dialogue

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 …

Mocking fakeness

2022

Abstract Phonetic resources, like dialects and accents, are used in ethnic humour to build up a recognisable character that pokes fun at the stereotypes associated with a particular identity, sometimes with critical and political undertones. In this article, we examine the manipulation of one such resource, aspiration, used in performing and mocking one such clichéd character, called the fake Sámi. This character has a contested history in Finnish tourism and marketing practices, and is embedded in a long-standing debate about who can use emblems of Sámi identity for economic purposes. Adopting a sociophonetic language regard and folk linguistics approaches (Preston 2010; Niedzielski & …

Four News Media Roles Shaping Agenda-building Processes

2019

This chapter identifies, defines and explores four news media roles of conduit, facilitator, mediator and political actor through which the media participate with corporate, social and political actors in agenda-building processes. The framework of the media’s four agenda-building roles sheds light on how the news media perform their various roles as well as how other actors, such as organizations and media audiences, are able to mobilize the media performing these roles. This framework helps explain how and why media roles affect the way actors are able to influence the media agenda with the intention of shaping the public agenda. peerReviewed
