Second chamber, ‘congress of ambassadors’ or federal presidency : Parliamentary and non-parliamentary aspects in the European Council's rules of proc…
2015
SUMMARYThe development of the European Union (EU) regime, with the frequent changes of institutions and their competencies by treaty revisions, allows for new opportunities for parliamentary studies. This article discusses the role and competencies of the European Council (EC) in the EU regime, using the heuristic and methodological resources of procedural commentaries, parliamentary rhetoric, conceptual history and political regime analysis. This study is a textual analysis, based on the 2009 Lisbon Treaty and especially on the EC's rules of procedure. The Lisbon Treaty and the respective rules of procedure serve as key documents that fix the rules, the framework and the margin of manoeuvr…
Mathematical Publishing in the Third Reich: Springer-Verlag and the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung
2000
Stiss. He was known to take interest in DMV affairs and they believed his views coincided with those current at the DMV board, in other words, with their own. Stiss had been a pupil of Ludwig Bieberbach (1886-1982), who in the Third Reich propagated an anti-Semitic, racial theory of Deutsche Mathematik and led a group of National Socialist mathematicians strongly opposed to the DMV. The DMV board hoped that Stiss might be able to reconcile his former teacher with the DMV, or at least safeguard it and its politics against the threat of political attack from Bieberbach's faction. In addition, Stiss had recently become a member o f the Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei…
Challenges of a Post-Communist Presidency: Vaira Vike-Freiberga and the Leadership of Latvia
2017
In 1999, Vaira Vikṃe-Freiberga became the first woman president elected in Latvia, as well as the first female executive to assume that office in the post-communist Central and East European region. She was elected by the democratic unicameral legislature and completed two terms in office. President Vikṃe-Freiberga enjoyed record-high-approval ratings and achieved significant political successes, overseeing the accession of Latvia to the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. As president, Vikṃe-Freiberga did not embrace an explicitly feminist agenda: faced with economic challenges in a newly capitalist country, societal challenges in a country with ethnic tensions betwe…
A Functional Analysis of the Finnish 2012 Presidential Elections
2016
This study applied the functional theory of political campaign discourse, developed for political campaigns in the United States to two televised presidential debates in the 2012 presidential elections in Finland. Acclaims were the most preferred statement by the candidates, with agreements being the least preferred. Policy was discussed more than character during the debates. General goals and ideals were used more frequently to acclaim than to attack. Results are generally consistent with the results of previous studies of presidential elections in the US and other countries. However, differences did emerge: the classical functional categories were supplemented by a new category, the role…
Maldivas y el delicado equilibrio entre India y China
2019
Maldivas es la nación más pequeña de Asia Meridional en términos de población, superficie y PBI. A pesar de ello, este pequeño archipiélago tiene una gran importancia estratégica, en virtud de su ubicación en medio de las rutas marítimas internacionales del océano Índico, y en su cercanía a las costas de la India. La propuesta de este artículo es exponer los cambios que se produjeron en Maldivas durante la presidencia de Abdulla Yameen en cuanto a la política interna, como así también a las relaciones exteriores, y observar en qué momento estas dos tendencias se cruzan para formar parte de una misma trama. A su vez, analizar finalmente las consecuencias que esto tiene para el país y para la…
Size Matters… And Age Too - Differentiated Integration Approach to the Functions of the EU Council Rotating Presidency
2022
The objective of this paper is to present how the roles attributed to the institution of the EU Council Rotating Presidency changed after the reform of the Lisbon Treaty. It argues that the legal modifications introduced by the treaty brought about some further going changes of the roles performed by the EU member state presiding the EU Council. The analysis goes beyond simple reading the Reform Treaty and focuses on the perceptions and expectations towards the Rotating Presidency (as understood by the logic of appropriateness). The change of perceptions regarding the roles of the Rotating Presidency is seen in relation to the level of the council system and its field of competence. As a re…
