2015

Con la voluntad de cambiar el modelo de democracia liberal representativa y dar mayor protagonismo a la participación popular, la nueva constitución ecuatoriana de 2008 reconoció todo un conjunto de nuevos derechos de participación. El presente artículo parte de la idea de que estos derechos, igual que los demás, pueden adquirir la forma de lo que llamaremos “derechos constituyentes” o “derechos constitucionales”. A partir de aquí, el artículo plantea que si bien existió una voluntad constituyente, así como la base jurídica suficiente en el texto constitucional de 2008, para poder desarrolla…

Am I an Entrepreneur? Entrepreneurial Self-Identity as an Antecedent of Entrepreneurial Intention

2020

Although many studies have shown that entrepreneurial intention can be explained according to a theory of planned behavior, some scholars have provided interesting insights into the role of job self-identity perception—in particularly the ones related to entrepreneurship—as significant precursor of entrepreneurial intention. A questionnaire has been administered to graduates and students of an Italian university (N = 153). A hierarchical regression analysis controlling for demographic variables has been performed in order to test the research hypotheses. The findings of this study have been discussed, with particular attention paid to the unexpected, weak, or non-significant effects of perc…

Justicia y legitimidad de la desigualdad tras la crisis financiera

2009

La crisis no sólo ha puesto de manifiesto la desconexión entre economía real y financiera sino también ha permitido cuestionar, aunque tímidamente, el papel legitimador que a menudo corresponde a los atributos meritocráticos (esfuerzo, inteligencia, etc.) en el tipo de desigualdad a la que da lugar el sistema de mercado. Cuestionadas algunas de las bases (morales si se quiere) con las que se pretendía fundado pero también fundante el principio de justicia del capitalismo (la vieja cuestión de la desigualdad económica legítima en relación con la igualdad formal y de derechos en el seno de la ciudadanía, pero también el nuevo problema de los techos salariales, etc.) nos encontramos, querámosl…

Debating Europe: Effects of the “Eurovision Debate” on EU Attitudes of Young German Voters and the Moderating Role Played by Political Involvement

2016

In the run-up to the elections to the European Parliament in 2014, EU citizens had the unprecedented opportunity to watch televised debates between the candidates running for president of the European Commission. The most important debate was the so-called "Eurovision debate", which was broadcasted in almost all EU member states. In this study we explore the responses of a sample of 110 young German voters, who watched this debate, to the candidates' messages and whether exposure to the debate caused a shift in the respondents' attitudes towards the EU. Combining data from a quasi-experiment, real-time response data, and data from a content analysis of the debate, we find that respondents' …
