The Quality of Local Self-Governance and the Political Participation of Non-governmental Organizations - Evidence from Silesia
2019
The quality of local authorities performance is determined, among others, by the involvement of social actors in the policy-making process. Among them, it is the non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that play a significant role in local polities, politics and policies. This paper tests if and how the participation of NGOs makes a difference in the quality of local self-governance, based on the evidence from Silesia (2010–2014)—the most densely populated region in Poland. The results show that the NGOs’ involvement diversifies the outcomes in the quality of governance only in a modest way and extend. Consequently, the authors conclude that the politically engaged NGOs do not qualitatively b…
Le recours au dialogue avec les parties prenantes dans l'exercice de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE) : proposition d'une typologie
2021
Since Freeman's work (1984), dialogue with stakeholders has become a central theme in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (Bonnafous-Boucher & Pesqueux 2006; Brown & Dillard 2015; Brown et al. 2020).This dialogue is strongly encouraged by international standards (ISO 26000, GRI, IIRC, AA1000SES, OCDE Principles), which describe it as a tool to inform the decisions of organizations and to allow stakeholders to make their views heard.While the concept of dialogue is omnipresent in the literature, the use of dialogue as a management device is little questioned and documented in scientific studies. How is the dialogue organized by companies? What are the roles of stakeholders? In…
Incidence of Stakeholders in the corporate social responsibility of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises of Santa Marta
2018
Abstract This article analyses the perception and application of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in a sample of 499 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the city of Santa Marta (Colombia) following the theory of Stakeholders. Specifically, the interdependence technique of exploratory factor analysis was used to determine the most influential Stakeholders in the execution of CSR practices. It was found that Stakeholders related to the value chain, the environment and corporate management favour social responsibility actions in local MSMEs. In contrast, community and government have less influence on the development of social responsibility practices in MSMEs. Additi…
An Overview of Attitude Towards Selected Aspects of Electoral Programs of Polish Political Groups Taking Part in the 2014 Elections to the European P…
2017
Elections to the European Parliament (EP), because of its role in establishing the legal order in member states of the European Union (EU), should become increasingly crucial among all the direct elections in which Poles participate in our country’s political system. But the results of analyses carried out by various research institutions indicate that, in Polish public opinion, the elections to the EP are the least important in terms of the meaning they have for Poles. Since the start of their organization, these elections have consistently come second (in terms of significance) to domestic elections – Presidential, Parliamentary, and local. Yet these elections, for many reasons, were act…
Los efectos directos y colaterales de la disolución de Herri Batasuna
2005
Alexandre.Catala@uv.es La ilegalización de Herri Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok y Batasuna (Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de 27 de marzo de 2003) comportó una serie de consecuencias que son analizadas en el presente trabajo. En primer lugar, la estrategia de presentar en sucesivos comicios (elecciones municipales y autonómicas de 2003, elecciones al Parlamento Europeo de 2004 y elecciones al Parlamento vasco de 2005) agrupaciones electorales que no eran más que continuación de aquéllos con la clara intención de burlar la aplicación de la Ley Orgánica de Partidos Políticos y perpetuar así su actividad. En segundo lugar, la polémica sobre la disolución del grupo parlamentario correspondiente e…
The EU’s Role in International Climate Change Policy-Making: A Global Leader in Decline?
2013
This chapter assesses the European Union’s (EU) role in international climate change policy-making by comparing the EU’s degree of goal attainment at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP) negotiations in Copenhagen in 2009 and Cancun in 2010. By making use of three analytical factors (coherence, the opportunity structure and politicisation) we assess the outcomes of both negotiations for the EU. The Durban negotiations of 2011 are touched upon in the conclusions.
Gli ebrei in Italia, il dibattito su Israele e la questione ebraica. Quattro riflessioni recenti
2022
La storia degli ebrei nell'Italia contemporanea è stata molto discussa dalla recente storiografia. In questa nota si prendono in esame quattro libri pubblicati tra il 2018 e il 2020 che affrontano il tema da prospettive differenti come il ruolo politico degli ebrei nell'Italia liberale e negli anni della grande guerra, la storia delle persecuzioni in età fascista, il problematico avvento della Repubblica, la raffigurazione degli ebrei e di Israele nelle sinistre italiane e la più generale percezione di Israele nel mondo politico e culturale italiano.
Institutionalization of party systems. A focus on Kurdistan Region of Iraq party system (1991/2016)
2019
ABSTRACT (SPANISH) Este estudio es un análisis cualitativo profundo de la naturaleza de la institucionalización del sistema de partidos en la región de Kurdistán de Iraq. Si bien el desarrollo de sistemas de partidos robustos a menudo se considera crucial para las democracias industriales, los sistemas de partidos en las regiones de Kurdistán, como muchas otras democracias nacientes, se han desarrollado con bastante lentitud. En cambio, la política partidista se caracteriza por una elevada tasa de volatilidad electoral, sólidas relaciones cliente-patrocinador, muchas fragmentaciones, nepotismo y falta de vínculos partidarios entre los electorados y las élites políticas. Esta tesis examina p…
Single-Target Implicit Association Tests (ST-IAT) Predict Voting Behavior of Decided and Undecided Voters in Swiss Referendums
2016
Undecided voters represent a major challenge to political pollsters. Recently, political psychologists have proposed the use of implicit association tests (IAT) to measure implicit attitudes toward political parties and candidates and predict voting behavior of undecided voters. A number of studies have shown that both implicit and explicit (i.e., self-reported) attitudes contribute to the prediction of voting behavior. More importantly, recent research suggests that implicit attitudes may be more useful for predicting the vote of undecided voters in the case of specific political issues rather than elections. Due to its direct-democratic political system, Switzerland represents an ideal pl…
Promouvoir un management environnemental participatif
2011
Page 80-89; International audience; L'expérience nous montre que, faute de solliciter l'engagement des parties prenantes, il risque d'y avoir un écart important entre le discours des dirigeants et les pratiques réelles des entreprises en matière de management environnemental (ou gestion environnementale). Par ailleurs, les dirigeants doivent de plus en plus tenir compte des attentes de diverses parties prenantes en cette matière. Les clients, les employés, les fournisseurs et les communautés locales ne veulent plus seulement être informés; ils tiennent aussi à participer à la prise de décisions environnementales étant donné qu'ils en subissent les conséquences. Dans ce contexte, la question…
