Tulka profesijas riski
2017
Šis maģistra darbs pēta riskus ar kuriem tulki saskaras darba laikā. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot vai risks tulku dzīvībai un veselībai pastāv ne tikai ekstrēmos apstākļos, piemēram, kara laikā, bet arī miera apstākļos. Tika veikta ne tikai ar šo tēmu saistīto zinātnisko darbu, mēdiju rakstu un blogu analīze, bet arī aptauja, lai noskaidrotu riska faktorus ar kuriem saskarās Latvijā strādājošie tulki.

Although informants in their childhood were forced to suffer in silence, they remember themselves as being res…
The Supranational Dimension in Max Weber’s Vision of Politics
2019
Max Weber analyzed politics from the perspective of Chancen for actors, and he never separated world politics from domestic politics. The “Westphalian balance” between great European powers shaped Weber’s views on international polity. However, he also regarded Western individualism, human rights, and parliamentary democracy as necessary qualities to possess in order to be recognized as a great power. This vision provided the basis for his wartime critique of the expansionist tendencies in German foreign policy and for his demand for the parliamentarization of German politics. After the end of World War I, Weber used Woodrow Wilson’s idea of the League of Nations as the basis for a proposal…
