Industrial Citizenship, Cosmopolitanism and European Integration
2014
Abstract. There has been an explosion of interest in the idea of European Union citizenship in recent years, as a defining example of postnational cosmopolitan citizenship potentially replacing, or at least layered on top of national citizenships. We argue this form of EU citizenship undermines industrial citizenship, which is a crucial support for the egalitarianism and social solidarity on which other types of citizenship are based. Because industrial citizenship arises from collectivities based in class identities and national institutions, it depends on the nation state erritorial order and the social closure inherent in this. EU citizenship in its current ‘postnational’ form is realize…
’Civilising’ the Transitional Generation: The Politics of Civic Education in Post-Communist Romania
2019
Abstract The paper examines the introduction of civic education in post-communist Romania as an educational means of civilising in a democratic ethos the children of the transition. Particularly close analytical attention is paid to a) the political context that shaped the decision to introduce civic education, b) the radical changes in both content and end purpose of civics brought about by educational policies adopted for accelerating the country’s efforts of integrating into the Euro-Atlantic structures (NATO and the European Union), and c) the actual consequences that these educational policies betting on civics have had on the civic values expressed by Romanian teenagers.

To Show, But Not to Disclose. The Willingness of Polish Political Parties to Disclose Information On their Structures
2018
Abstract Constituting the key element of a democratic system, political parties are among entities obliged by the Polish legislator to comply with the principle of disclosure by providing public information. The main objective of this paper is to determine the level of Polish political parties’ disclosure, understood here as their willingness to disclose information on their own structures. It seems that the practice of disclosing such basic organizational data may constitute a specific measure of Polish political parties’ respect for the idea of disclosure. The subject matter of the conducted research was particular parties’ sites in the Public Information Bulletin as well as their officia…

La contestación a los próceres. Pugna de facciones y desórdenes en Valencia (1376-1478)
2021
La intermitencia de los ataques verbales y escritos contra las decisiones de gobierno de la ciudad de Valencia a lo largo de un siglo se inscriben en una dinámica absorbente, liderada por partidos rivales de la oligarquía, capaces éstos de asumir reivindicaciones grupales ajenas y de arrastrar a parte de los ciudadanos y de los menestrales bajo fórmulas clientelares. Las circunstancias concretas de las protestas superaron los cauces institucionales previstos en una asamblea municipal renovada anualmente y con amplia representación social, la cual se demostró más como plataforma para la adhesión de los vecinos respecto a los líderes de la sociedad política y menos como órgano de discusión po…
Beware of the “poverty migrant”: media discourses on EU labour migration and the welfare state in Germany and the UK
2021
Abstract This article examines the role of the media in the EU freedom of movement debate through the lens of high-circulation German and UK newspapers during the first half of 2014. It explores how the media problematised migration from Eastern European member states and its influence on national host country labour markets and welfare systems. It also analyses how different media outlets positioned themselves in relation to relevant policies or policy proposals. The findings show that most articles in our sample present low-skill, low-wage working European Union (EU) migrant class referred to as “poverty migrants” as a problem to be addressed at the policy level in contrast with the econo…
