YK:n legitimiteetti yleiskokouksen kautta tarkasteltuna

2022

Legitimiteetti tai legitiimisyys on yksi Yhdistyneiden kansakuntien (YK) toiminnan kannalta keskeisistä käsitteistä, joka linkittyy myös monenkeskiseen yhteistyöhön ja siihen sitoutumiseen. Tässä katsausartikkelissa tarkastellaan YK:n legitimiteettiä yleiskokouksen näkökulmasta ja kysytään, miten yleiskokouksen uudistamista koskeva keskustelu vaikuttaa puolestaan koko YK:n legitimiteettiin. Erityisenä kiinnostuksen kohteena on kirjallisuudessa vähälle huomiolle jäänyt YK:n yleiskokous kansainvälisen politiikan toimijana ja yleiskokouksen mandaatti toimia eri kansainvälisen politiikan alaan kuuluvissa kysymyksissä. Artikkeli osoittaa, miten yleiskokouksella on tärkeä tehtävä koko YK:n kannal…

Mosaic activating mutations in GNA11 and GNAQ are associated with phakomatosis pigmentovascularis and extensive dermal melanocytosis

2016

Common birthmarks can be an indicator of underlying genetic disease but are often overlooked. Mongolian blue spots (dermal melanocytosis) are usually localized and transient, but they can be extensive, permanent, and associated with extracutaneous abnormalities. Co-occurrence with vascular birthmarks defines a subtype of phakomatosis pigmentovascularis, a group of syndromes associated with neurovascular, ophthalmological, overgrowth, and malignant complications. Here, we discover that extensive dermal melanocytosis and phakomatosis pigmentovascularis are associated with activating mutations in GNA11 and GNAQ, genes that encode Gα subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. The mutations were det…

Rethinking the Westphalian Order During WW I : Max Weber on the Timeliness of the European Polity

2017

The publication of the Max-Weber-Gesamtausgabe volumes, including his letters and a recent study of Hinnerk Bruhns, have revised the canonical view on Weber as a German nationalist. With a conceptual and rhetorical analysis of his essays Deutschland unter europäischen Weltmächten (1916) and Zum Thema Kriegsschuld (early 1919), I offer an alternative view on Weber’s relationship to European politics. He defended the ‘Westphalian’ system of balance between great powers, to which he wanted after the end of the War to incorporate Woodrow Wilson’s plans for a new League. Weber was a critic of German wartime policy, maintained his Anglophile sympathies, and saw in tsarist Russia the main threat b…

Rethinking Political Representation from the Perspective of Rhetorical Genres

2019

This article is a thought experiment. It constructs ideal types of political representation in the sense of Max Weber. Inspired by Quentin Skinner and others, the aim is to give a rhetorical turn to contemporary debates on representation. The core idea is to claim an ‘elective affinity’ (Wahlverwandschaft, as Weber says following Goethe) between forms of representation and rhetorical genres of their justification. The four ideal types of political representation are designated as plebiscitary, diplomatic, advocatory, and parliamentary, corresponding to the epideictic, negotiating, forensic, and deliberative genres of rhetoric as the respective ways to plausibly appeal to the audience. I dis…

Lo Stato moderno e la sfida del bitcoin

2022

Marilena Macaluso's chapter focuses on the 'challenge' of bitcoin by analysing the transformation of the concept of money in the transition to 'virtual currency' starting from Weber's reflections on the functions of money and the importance of the monetary monopoly for the modern state. If, on the one hand, the role of the state continues to remain relevant in the monetary system, on the other hand, the great transformations that mark post-modernity bring new actors onto the scene, who privatise the issuing and transferring of bitcoins, thus profoundly shaking up traditional modes of regulation and the role of centralised monetary authorities. This entails the return of pre-modern elements …

Valori perduti e perduta libertà. Croce e il dibattito tedesco sulla relatività dei valori

2017

The relativism of values (Werterelativismus) is a problem very central for the historicism debate, which concerned historians and phi- losophers at the beginning of the twentieth century. The historization of all knowledge and all values leads to their historical devaluation. How can values still be formulated and maintained in face of this relativization? This was the question of theorists such as Otto Hintze, Friedrich Meinecke, Max Weber and Ernst Troeltsch, as well as of the philosopher Benedetto Croce in times of emerging Fascism, that was regarded as a political and moral threat. As representatives of an intellectual and social liberalism, these academics developed their own strategie…

Vanha ja uudistettu julkishallinto : julkishallintomallien ilmeneminen aluehallintovirastojen henkilöstön kokemana

2015

Tämän tutkimuksen aiheena ovat julkishallintomallit New Public Management (NPM), New Public Governance (NPG) ja Neo-Weberian State (NWS) ja niiden ilmeneminen nykyisten aluehallintovirastojen toiminnassa henkilöstön kokemusten perusteella. Julkishallintomallit vaikuttavat merkittävästi julkishallinnon organisointiin ja johtamisen toteutumiseen. Julkishallintomallien kehitykseen ja soveltamiseen liittyvät vahvasti erilaiset yhteiskunnalliset muutokset ja julkishallinnon uudistukset. Erilaiset mallit painottavat erilaisia periaatteita julkishallinnon uudistusten ja johtamisen toteutuksessa. NPM-malli on ollut viime vuosikymmenten valtavirran julkishallintomalli, kun taas NPG-malli ja NWS-mall…

Pseudo-Planar Organic Heterojunctions by Sequential Printing of Quasi-Miscible Inks

2021

This work deals with the interfacial mixing mechanism of picoliter (pL)-scale droplets produced by sequential inkjet printing of organic-based inks onto ITO/PET surfaces at a moderately high Weber number (~101). Differently from solution dispensing processes at a high Bond number such as spin coating, the deposition by inkjet printing is strictly controlled by droplet velocity, ink viscosity, and surface tension. In particular, this study considers the interfacial mixing of droplets containing the most investigated donor/acceptor couple for organic solar cells, i.e., poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), showing how low-viscosity and low-surfac…
