Pacted transition to democracy : The case of Mozambique

2016

The findings of “third wave” studies on democratic transitions in Southern Europe and Latin America from the 1970s suggested that a democratic outcome is most likely when contending parties are relatively equal and elites make a pact to navigate the transition process. However, later studies of post-communist transitions do not support this inference. This paper analyses the transition process in Mozambique, a former “Afro-communist” regime, during the early 1990s. The findings show that – contrary to the conclusions drawn from the “third wave” studies – in Mozambique the pact concluded in the context of the peace accord of 1992, which ended a sixteenyear civil war, had contradictory result…

Charismatic Leaders in a New Perspective: Reality in Estonia and Italy

2020

The purpose of this explorative study is to put the existing theories on charismatic political leadership in a current post-web media context. It also seeks to better understand why “charismatic politicians” seem to have success in present-day cyber politics. The paper considers political charisma in a Weberian perspective and aims to explain what elements it includes in a current electoral environment characterized by a fast-changing media landscape. The paper places the existing theoretical models in the context of two European societies, by comparing Estonia and Italy as case studies. Estonia, a small ex-Soviet country has emerged in recent years as an advanced e-society with highly “int…

Wartość bezpieczeństwa prawnego jako podstawa demokratycznego państwa prawa w świetle art. 2 konstytucji RP

2017

Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje problematykę znaczenia wartości bezpieczeństwa prawnego – jej formalnych i materialnych aspektów - w świetle instytucjonalnych przemian ładu normatywnego i w kontekście aksjologii współczesnego konstytucjonalizmu. Wartość bezpieczeństwa prawnego stanowi jeden z fundamentów demokratycznego państwa. Refleksja konstytucyjna nie odwołująca się do wartości bezpieczeństwa prawnego, jak również nie wskazująca możliwych konsekwencji pomijania tej wartości jako konstruującej ład normatywny może prowadzić do destrukcji tego dyskursu.

Carsharing business models in Germany: characteristics, success and future prospects

2017

Carsharing provides an alternative to private car ownership by allowing car use temporarily on an on-demand basis. Operators provide carsharing services using different business models and ownership structures. We distinguish between cooperative, business-to-consumer (B2C) roundtrip and one-way, as well as peer-topeer (P2P) carsharing. This paper characterizes these different types of business models and compares their success in terms of diffusion using a comprehensive database of all 101 German carsharing providers in 2016. The key result holds that fleet size is significantly different across business models ranging from a few cars (cooperatives in small towns), to a few hundred (B2C rou…

De l’État de droit libéral à l’État de droit social. Critique et transformation de l’État de droit chez Hermann Heller

2019

This article analyzes the genesis and meaning of the concept of a “social rule of law” (sozialer Rechtsstaat) which Heller put forward in the particular context of The Weimar Republic. Heller was at this time one of the jurists who criticized the liberal ideal of law. He instead promoted a social conception that would take socio-economic inequalities into consideration. However, this did not imply eliminating the rule of law; it was rather a question of extending it or elevating it to a higher point – which he called “social democracy” and from 1929, “social rule of law”. In the context of the crisis of democracy, this kind of statement clearly had a political dimension.
