Farewell to Anarchy : The Myth of International Anarchy and Birth of Anarcophilia in International Relations
2018
This article scrutinizes the conceptual history of international anarchy. The argument purported here is that even though the idea of international anarchy is often seen as very central for the academic discipline of international relations, the concept is in fact not found from the forerunners or classics of the discipline. The assumption of international anarchy is commonly seen as a defining feature of a Realist school of international relations. Yet, the concept and especially its “Realist” implications are not to be found in the classics of Realism, from Thucydides, Machiavelli or Hobbes. The idea of “international anarchy” emerges quite tentatively during the First World War, in the w…
Combustible vegetal y etnografía: estudio de un horno de pan en Ghuala (Argelia)
2013
[ES] La maderas y los carbones constituyen un patrimonio biológico y cultural susceptible de ser analizado, tanto en contextos arqueológicos como etnográficos. La antracología, por medio del muestreo del carbón y su identificación botánica, aporta información sobre la interacción constante de los grupos humanos con la vegetación. Se presenta en este artículo un estudio etnográfico realizado en 2012 en Ghuala (Argelia), a través del análisis del combustible leñoso utilizado en un horno de pan tradicional de uso familiar, con el objetivo de arrojar mayor luz al debate existente en torno a las estrategias de gestión del combustible leñoso en las sociedades humanas del pasado.

“The Churches overtook politics”. The contribution of religious factors and faith-based initiatives to Polish-German reconciliation
2022
Abstract More than half-century long process of reconciliation between Poland and Germany can be recognized as one the most exceptional contemporary examples of the rebuilding of relations both socially and politically. The fact that the reconciliation process between “eternal enemies”, Poland and Germany, succeeded is considered in metaphysical categories a ‘miracle of reconciliation’. The essence of this process was well summarized in 2015 in the Common Statement of the President of Poland Andrzej Duda and the President of Germany Joachim Gauck in the words “the Churches overtook politics”. This article aims to outline the contribution of the religious element as a significant factor in t…
The role, the goal and the soul of professional public relations : developing a holistic model of PR professionalism
2016
This doctoral dissertation investigates PR professionalism and PR as a strategic expert function. The approach is phenomenographic and the research progresses through four phases: (1) building a conceptual framework, (2) conducting an interpretative study of concepts, (3) conducting semi-structured in-depth interviews among 37 Finnish PR experts, and (4) constructing a holistic model of PR professionalism. The interpretative study of concepts concludes that PR professionalism consists of expertise in management of identity, management of public sphere, and management of relationships, and its core values are respect, responsibility and reflexivity. The interview study outlines five differen…
Tradición y modernidad en las políticas educativas en España: una revisión de las últimas décadas
2008
In the present paper, we will present an approximate outlook of a few of the more relevant issues that determine, at the same time that reflect, the Spanish educative policies deployed from 1980 up to now. This scan of the last 25 years will allow us to see (even in a superficial and inevitably partial fashion) the tension and dialectic between tradition (noted for the persistence of outdated forms of conceiving and delivering education) and modernity (bearer of innovative trends, although not exempt from ambivalence and contradictions in its own development). We will pay close attention to those axes that can work as a starting point for our reflection, namely: educative policies, organiza…
Limits of Power. Clerical Appointment as Part of Domestic Policy in Sweden after the Reformation, 1560–1611
2015
Abstract This article examines state-church relations in Sweden by analysing clerical appointment processes in the latter part of the 16th century. The aim is to ascertain whether the king of Sweden could appoint pastors independently, and if not, with whom he was compelled to share the power. Earlier studies argue that the power of the king grew due to the reformation. First, this article examines the number of clerical appointments that were made in the period 1560-1611. The results reveal a remarkable annual variation in the number of clerical appointments. Second, the timing and share of clerical appointments made by the king are studied. The number of appointments made by the king is v…
Giuseppe Cocchiara, il fascismo e il razzismo
2021
In questo saggio viene ricostruito il rapporto tra Giuseppe Cocchiara e il fascismo. L’antropologo visse in pieno la sua formazione culturale all'interno del regime al quale aderì con convinzione e slancio, militando sempre nelle sue fazioni più radicali, condividendone fedelmente le scelte più tragiche come la guerra d’Etiopia, sottoscrivendo le leggi razziali, impegnandosi nella seconda guerra mondiale con le armi culturali dell’antisemitismo e della lotta senza tregua contro la democrazia. Così quando, come in un «mondo alla rovescia», sconfitto il fascismo sotto il peso di un’umiliante e sanguinosa disfatta, saranno proprio gli odiati inglesi a valorizzarne la statura intellettuale e la…
Regional Economic Integration in the Southern African Development Community (SADC): Analysing the Dynamics and Performance
2020
This article analyses the dynamics and performance of regional economic integration in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). It proposes an innovative theoretical approach to the analysis of regionalism that refers to cooperation theory and takes the impact of external actors explicitly into account. The motivation for this research stems from the observation of a new wave of regionalism in the Global South. Many of these new or reformed regional integration organisations (RIOs) comprise of developing countries, particularly in Africa. In contrast to expectations of most mainstream integration theories, new regionalisms in the Southern Hemisphere have come into existence and sh…
Towards a theory of ex-combatant reintegration
2013
This paper encourages the development of a theoretical framework for the study of the reintegration of ex-combatants after war. It takes the first steps towards this by proposing a new definition of reintegration, where the processes ex-combatants experience, rather than the programmatic support offered by international and national agencies, take centre stage. The article links the study of reintegration to two broader disciplines; political economy and sociology, and in particular to the two disciplines’ account of power and group belonging. It argues that a political economy approach is particularly useful for making sense of the context in which reintegration processes unfold. The artic…
CSR i jego znaczenie dla kształtowania relacji z klientami - w świetle wyników badań ankietowych
2016
Społeczna Odpowiedzialność Biznesu (CSR) jest nową, dynamicznie rozwijającą się koncepcją zakładającą równowagę między trzema wymiarami – ekonomicznym, społecznym i ekologicznym. Od przedsiębiorstwa oczekuje się nie tylko pomnażania zysków, ale również pełnego spojrzenia na otoczenie i pracowników. Społeczne zaangażowanie to obecnie, poza działalnością charytatywną, odpowiedź na potrzeby społeczności. Najważniejsze jest, by przedsiębiorstwa wdrożyły procesy, dzięki którym względy społeczne, środowiskowe i etyczne oraz kwestie praw człowieka staną się stałym elementem ich działalności i strategii biznesowej.
