Up with ecology, down with economy? : The consolidation of the idea of climate change mitigation in the global public sphere
2018
Building on theories of valuation and evaluation, we develop an analytical framework that outlines six elements of the process of consolidation of an idea in the public sphere. We then use the framework to analyse the process of consolidation of the idea of climate change mitigation between 1997 and 2013, focusing on the interplay between ecological and economic evaluations. Our content analysis of 1274 articles in leading newspapers in five countries around the globe shows that (1) ecological arguments increase over time, (2) economic arguments decrease over time, (3) the visibility of environmental nongovernmental organizations as carriers of ecological ideas increases over time, (4) the …
A Lost Opportunity to Parliamentarize The European Commission : Bagehot, Weber and a Debate in 1960
2022
The article emphasizes the significance of EU studies for political thought and concepts. It deals with the seemingly technical topic of the membership of cabinet ministers in parliament. This practice arose in eighteenth-century Westminster and has been discussed since the mid-nineteenth century, Walter Bagehot's and Max Weber's writings being landmarks. When the European Parliamentary Assembly in 1960 interpreted the Treaty of Rome, it took the view, by a narrow margin, that membership of the Parliament was incompatible with membership of the Commission. The debate on the compatibility of dual membership could have been a way to promote the parliamentarization of the EU. peerReviewed

China's rhetoric and soft power towards the Portuguese-speaking countries : the case of Angola
2014
The thesis analyses China’s foreign policy towards the Portuguese-speaking countries, particularly the case of Angola. The People’s Republic of China has been putting great emphasis on the relations with other developing countries. The eight Portuguese-speaking countries, Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe and Timor-Leste constitute a group with a population of around 250 million people, a vast wealth of natural resources and potential for gaining economic and political importance in the near future. The way China frames its rhetorical communication and establishes relationships must be understood to provide a perspective on its foreign po…
Race et espace : la ville comme lieu d’étude des représentations raciales
2022
Cette étude examine les « paysages raciaux » dans le centre-ville de Bordeaux, c'est-à-dire la façon dont les discours sur la race et le racisme se matérialisent au quotidien. Les paysages raciaux rendent compte de la nature contradictoire des discours sur la race et le racisme en Europe, et en France, qui sont à la fois omniprésents et dissimulés. Analyser le centre-ville de Bordeaux permet d’appréhender la manière dont les discours locaux et nationaux s’étayent et se construisent, mettant ainsi en lumière les relations complexes entre les discours sur la race, le passé colonial et le cadre républicain universaliste spécifique à la France (Fila-Bakabadio 2011). Cette étude pose donc la que…
Bold ambition, blunted agency? : Examining top management perspectives on a circular economy transition in Finland
2022
The circular economy is proposed as a company-driven means to further sustainability transitions. Top managers have a critical role in fostering the circular economy as they are responsible for shaping and implementing a company's sustainability strategy and performance. In this paper, we adopt a microfoundations perspective to enhance our understanding of the influence of top managers as agents of the sustainability transition to the circular economy. In a qualitative research study, we interviewed 34 top managers of Finnish companies that are actively pursuing the circular economy. The main implication of our study is in exploring the role of top managers, as they engage in actively struc…
