Anglo-American conservative ideology after the Cold WarPilbeam, Bruce January 2001 (has links)
This thesis sets out and examines the distinctive features of Anglo-American conservative ideology after the Cold War, in terms of its continuities with and differences from conservative doctrines of the past. The basic proposition explored is that despite conservatism's victory over socialism it too has been disoriented by the ending of the Cold War, and is possibly even exhausted as an ideology of contemporary relevance. Suggestions that conservatives have been left in a position of ideological hegemony are therefore questioned. A number of reasons are considered for supporting this belief: that the loss of their Cold War opponents has deprived conservatives of any distinctive purpose; that free market agendas are discredited by the critiques of ideologies such as communitarianism and environmentalism; and that traditional beliefs and values have been undermined by developments such as the spread of moral relativism. Moreover, the possibility is considered that the end of the Cold War has exacerbated tensions between varieties of conservatives - for example, free market and 'traditionalist' thinkers - because of the lack of common unifying purposes. The main body of the thesis is presented in two parts. Part I considers how the key traditional elements and themes of conservative ideology relate to the circumstances of the post-Cold War world, whilst Part 11 examines in detail its responses to a number of specific contemporary challenges. The purpose of this division is to facilitate a reflection upon the status of the ideas traditionally central to conservatism, together with an assessment of conservatives' abilities to engage with contemporary ideological developments.

Le patriotisme economique versus le marche libre / Economic patriotism versus free marketMladenovic, Milica 19 June 2014 (has links)
On vit à l’ère de la mondialisation : on se rapproche plus que jamais d’un marché libre. Pourtant, de plus un plus, on entend des voix évoquant la notion de patriotisme économique pour décrire certains comportements menaçant ce nouveau système mondial. Intéressée à découvrir les raisons cachées ainsi que les formes qu’il peut prendre, cette recherche met au point le patriotisme économique. A partir de la théorie, à travers la pratique, de la perspective macro et micro et sous le prisme de l'économie, mais en tenant compte des conclusions des autres sciences sociales, on analyse, décrit, compare et déduit sur cette notion et ses implications sur le système économique mondial. Egalement, cette thèse apporte les résultats d'une recherche faite sur le comportement économique-patriotique des consommateurs serbes. Grosso modo, on conclut qu'à un moment donné, tout agent économique, Etat, société, individu, peut devenir un patriote économique. Egalement, ce n'est que la forme des manifestations du patriotisme économique qui changent au fil des siècles en fonction des conditions externes, surtout du système mondial actuel. On trouve que le patriotisme économique n'est qu'une aspiration de mettre en priorité ses propres intérêts économiques, même au-delà des objectifs communs, globaux, tel qu’il soit un marché complètement libre. Finalement, ce que le travail montre en étudiant les dessous, les formes, les types du patriotisme économique et comment se montre-t ’il en pratique en faisant face à un marché soi-disant libre, c’est que le patriotisme économique est une règle et le marché libre juste une exception. / Living in an era of globalization, we approached to the free market ideal more than ever. Yet, we hear more and more voices evoking the notion of economic patriotism to describe certain behaviors threatening the new global system. Interested in discovering the reasons hidden behind, and the forms it can take, this research analyzes the economic patriotism. From theory to practice and both macro and micro perspective and taking into account the findings of economic but also of other social sciences, this thesis analysis, describes, compares and deduces about this concept and its implications on the global economic system. Also, the research includes a field study conducted on the economic-patriotic behavior of Serbian consumers. General conclusion is that at certain point, any economic agent - state, society, individual, can become an economic patriot. It is only the forms of manifestations of economic patriotism that change over the centuries depending on external factors such is the current global economic system. Economic patriotism is nothing more than an aspiration to put one’s own economic interests in priority, even beyond global objectives, as it is an ideal of the free market. Finally, what this study shows researching about the reasons, forms, manifestations and types of economic patriotism and how it revels itself in practice facing a so-called free market, is that the economic patriotism is a rule and free market just an exception.

Metodologia para reconstrução de séries históricas de vento e geração eólica visando a análise da complementariedade energética no Sistema Interligado Nacional / Methodology for reconstruction of historical series of wind and wind generation aiming the analysis of energy complementarity in the National Interconnected System.Witzler, Lucas Torres 07 November 2014 (has links)
Nos últimos leilões de energia promovidos pelo Governo projetos eólicos foram protagonistas, sendo a fonte com maior número de projetos cadastrados e vencedores. Nessa perspectiva, que de fato tem fomentado o interesse, tanto por empreendedores como por agentes do setor elétrico, pelo entendimento dos fatores de risco que podem influenciar o retorno financeiro dos investidores que encontraram nesta fonte uma alternativa interessante para diversificar seu portfólio de projetos. Diante desta oportunidade, este trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver uma metodologia para reconstrução de séries históricas de geração eólica possibilitando estudos energéticos de complementariedade entre fontes. Esta dissertação possibilitou a avaliação da complementariedade energética entre os recursos eólicos e hídricos. Por meio da análise da correlação entre séries de geração de energia eólica e hídrica, foi possível identificar o benefício energético existente na formação de um portfólio hidro-eólico. A complementariedade entre a energia eólica e hidráulica possibilita que geradores que possuam portfolio com ambas as fontes compartilhem a exposição dos riscos relacionados à sazonalidade dos ventos, beneficiando diretamente o mercado consumidor com diminuição dos custos na geração. / In recent energy auctions, held by the government wind projects were protagonists, being the source with the highest number of registered and winning projects. From this perspective, which in fact has stimulated interest, both as investors by electrical sector agents, by understanding the risk factors that may influence the financial returns to investors who have found this an interesting alternative source to diversify its project portfolio. Considering this opportunity, this work aims to develop a methodology for reconstruction historical series of wind generation enabling studies of complementarity between energy sources. This work has enabled an evaluation of complementarity between wind and hydro generation. By analyzing, the correlation between wind and hydro series was possible to identify the energetic benefit in a composition of a hydro-wind portfolio. The complementarity between wind and hydropower enables generators in the same portfolio share risks related to exposure due to seasonality of winds, directly benefiting the market with lower generations costs, driven by increased competition resulting from the participation of wind power in all segments of marketing.
