Interest, Voluntary Associations and the Stability of the Political System
1985
In this article the adequacy of the sociological paradigm in voluntary associ ations' research is investigated by comparing it with its nval, the incor poration or system integration paradigm (types 1 and 2) and with two approaches that are their combinations: multi-dimensional theones of disper sion and cross-cutting of interests (type 3) and multi-dimensional theories of incorporation and system integration of interests (type 4). I express the view that by themselves both pluralism and incorporation paradigms are , unable to depict the complex system of political stability. An adequate theory must contain elements of two dimensions of maintaining stability: firstly, the idea of dispersion…
Late-modern Hegemony and the Changing Role of Voluntary Associations in Finland
2015
Voluntary associations in Finland have traditionally dominated the field of collective action and been core agents in the (re)production of hegemonic blocs. Major changes in the institution of voluntary association may have a greater impact on the Finnish political regime than in many other countries, so the Finnish case might serve as a laboratory for the analysis of general tendencies of associational development common to all developed democracies. This article addresses (1) the main differences between older and newer types of associations, (2) the challenge posed by the development of a new type of hegemony to the ability of new kinds of associations to create general trust and solida…
Estructura, diversidad e ideología en el currículum oficial de la educación musical primaria: una revisión sistemática
2021
Durante los últimos años, ha cobrado relevancia el análisis crítico de los contenidos musicales que se imparten en los centros de educación formal, señalando la necesidad de que estos sean representativos de la diversidad cultural y ofrezcan herramientas a los estudiantes para comprender su propia contemporaneidad. Con el objetivo de profundizar en su estudio, se ha realizado una revisión sistemática del currículum escrito en la educación musical primaria mediante el análisis de 49 artículos científicos de ámbito internacional. Los temas más recurrentes giran en torno a la estructura del currículum, la diversidad que refleja y la ideología que pretende transmitir. Los resultados señalan una…

State power and conflict driven evolution
2021
The goal of this chapter is to examine the implications of the evolution of social organizations due to external competition. There are a variety of models of external competition. Models such as Ely (2002) examine voluntary migration - these models tend to efficient outcomes as people are drawn to locations with high per capita income. Historically, however, institutional success has not been through voluntary immigration into the arms of welcoming richer neighbors. Rather people and institutions have generally spread through invasion and conflict: the Carthaginians did not emigrate to Rome. Large institutional change has often occurred in the aftermath of the disruption caused by warfare …
A "grande política"
2015
Resumo Este artigo oferece uma discussão sobre o legado crítico em torno da noção de grande política na obra de Nietzsche, questão que foi dominada por três posições: 1) Nietzsche é reduzido a um ironista subjetivista, não se atribuindo a ele nenhuma (ou pouca) relevância na teoria política; 2) ou bem é estigmatizado como precursor intelectual dos totalitarismos políticos; 3) ou bem pode apresentar-se como um genuíno pensador político, para além dos totalitarismos e capaz de fecundar algumas concepções democráticas da vida política. Nesse último aspecto, apesar das críticas de Nietzsche à modernidade e à democracia, é possível vê que sua obra defende a noção de uma democracia radical, dado …
Many Images for a Continent. An Introduction
2021
For too long, the European Union has presented itself as a haven for bureaucrats, united by a hegemonic will practiced through the hyper-standardization of every aspect of social life. The result of this representation, so often weaponised by political forces hostile to the European project, has also been the reason the many images (normative acts, community projects, cultural initiatives etc.) that constitute the European discourse struggle to be recognized and read into a basic everyday narrative capable of shaping a European horizon of shared destinies. This book recognises the importance of the European discourse in its symbolic dimension and the need for it to be circulated via a wide-…
"Mad Men", "Los Soprano" y el "American way of life". Historia del capital en dos tiempos
1970
Don Draper (Mad Men, Matthew Weiner, AMC: 2007-2015) participa del nacimiento y consolidación dela sociedad de consumo sin ser consciente de la gran ficción que intenta creerse. Tony Soprano (TheSopranos, David Chase, HBO: 1999-2007) se agarra desesperadamente a los últimos restos de un idealde superación y esfuerzo que no solo está agotado sino que nunca fue verdaderamente coherente. Estetexto realiza un análisis textual, sociológico y discursivo comparativo de ambas figuras en cuantorepresentativas de la evolución del discurso capitalista en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, es decir, laartificialidad del discurso hegemónico de búsqueda de la felicidad como uno de los grandes mitos delneolib…

Hidro-hegemonija Oranžas-Senķu upes baseinā: Dienvidāfrikas lomas analīze
2019
Hidro-hegemonija Oranžas-Senķu upes baseinā: Dienvidāfrikas lomas analīze - gadījuma analīze, kurā tiek pētīta pārrobežu ūdens resursu apsaimniekošana starp Dienvidāfriku, Lesoto, Namībiju un Botsvānu. Darbā tiek pieņemts, ka Dienvidāfrika ir reģionālais hidro-hegemons konkrētajā baseinā. Dienvidāfrika nav augšupteces valsts, bet tai piemīt pietiekoši daudz varas pār augšupteces valsti Lesoto. Pētījuma mērķis - pielāgot hidro-hegemonijas analītisko ietvaru konkrētajam baseinam, lai noteiktu, kāda hidro-hegemonijas forma pastāv Oranžas-Senķu upes baseinā, un atklātu iemeslus, kādēļ Dienvidāfrika ir izvēlējusies spēlēt līdera lomu konkrētajā upes baseinā. Lai sasniegtu mērķi, tika noteikti šā…
