What's in a frame? : cosmopolitan morality, the media and interventionismLangdon, Nicola Katy January 2018 (has links)
This thesis examines the media-foreign policy nexus through a specific focus on the moral framing of conflict and interventionism within British media and policy discourses. While morality has been identified as a frequently used frame through which we may understand issues, there has been little extant discussion of the nature of morality embedded within media texts, or how it may shape understanding and policy-making. This research contributes to this void through forwarding cosmopolitan morality framing as a new theoretical framework. Consideration is given to how appeals to a cosmopolitan moral consciousness can resonate and build support for or legitimise particular foreign policies. The thesis further explores how cosmopolitan morality framing may work simultaneously to perpetuate uneven relations through constructed ‘othering’. Ontologically, the research adopts a social constructivist foundation and hermeneutical methodology, utilising frame analysis from the broader interpretivist tradition of discourse analysis as well as a holistic conceptualisation of the media. Data collection is spread across both traditional ‘mainstream’ and ‘new’ media, comprising print, online and social media sources. The sources examined include the British daily newspapers, The Guardian and The Times, the digital news site BBC News Online, and the global social media outlet Twitter. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) provides a regional focus to the research, with three recent conflicts in Libya, Syria and Iraq utilised as empirical case studies. The research focuses on specific ten day periods within each conflict to produce a snapshot of media frames and policy reaction. These periods include; the advance of pro-Gaddafi forces on Benghazi, Libya (9-19 March 2011), the chemical weapons attack on Ghouta, Syria (21-31 August 2013), and the siege of Sinjar by Islamic State forces in Iraq (3-13 August 2014). The research finds that notions of cosmopolitan morality are embedded within media/policy discourses to varying degrees, but are extremely significant when coupled with the cognitive and temporal capacity to impede crisis escalation.

DET ÄR SVÅRT ATT TÄNKA RÄTTSanharib, Metti, Holm, Kim January 2017 (has links)
Det vardagliga beslutsfattandet är produkten av olika tankeprocesser. Det finns teorier om att människans beslutsfattande sker med hjälp av två system, där det ena står för snabba beslut (“system 1”) och den andra för mer genomtänkta beslut (“system 2”). Dessa processer kan ge upphov till det så kallade ”konjunktionsfelet”. Detta innebär att kombinationen av två egenskaper eller händelser anses mer sannolikt än en av dessa egenskaper eller händelser. Konjunktionsfelet begås vid sannolikhetsbedömningar där personen baserar sitt svar på likhetsinformation och att detta är en “system 1-process”. I detta fall avser likhetsinformation svarsalternativ med konjunktioner som påminner om personbeskrivningarna i sannolikhetsbedömningarna. Denna studie syftar till att styrka antagandet om att “system 1” påverkar beslutfattandet i sannolikhetsbedömningen, även under kontroll av “system 2”. Studien innefattade 30 deltagare (11 män och 19 kvinnor) i åldersspannet 19-34 år (M = 24.17 år, SD = 4.23). För studien användes en inomgruppsdesign. Huvudhypotesen var att ökad likhetsinformation skulle leda till förlängd reaktionstid. Enligt tidigare forskning ökar reaktionstiden med mängden likhetsinformation. Denna studie stödjer inte dessa resultat och huvudhypotesen uppfylls ej. Datat resulterade även i ett oväntat fynd som visade på att försöksdeltagarna gjorde signifikant färre antal rätt desto mera likhetsinformation de utsattes för. Slutsatsen är att det blir svårare för testdeltagaren att fatta rätt beslut då mängden likhetsinformation ökar. Studiens oväntade fynd kan överföras till vardagliga situationer. Detta genom att människor kan begå misstag på grund av att de inte tänker igenom saker, eller analyserar beslut tillräckligt noggrant.

Previous issue date: 2008-10-30 / The present paperwork aims at looking over the political debate at the 1946
constituent, from the view of the economical crisis figured by the end of the war
and the consequent finish of the New State Dictatorship, aiming at understanding
the impasses and dilemmas faced by the political actors upon the necessity of
reorganization of the institutional frame concerning the economic policy. The
liberal though was facing the hard task of redefining the huge presence of the
State in the Brazilian economy e society. The debate upon the development of the
industry was a guidance axle of the disputes observed in the Constituent. The
study is based on Horacio’s Lafer ideas, considering him as a link between the two
political experiences. The analysis of the parties, especially of the position taken
upon the differences faced in the process of democracy rebuilding, was seen with
attention by following the chancing process and continuation which characterized
President Dutra’s administration. / O presente trabalho tem por finalidade refletir sobre o debate político na
constituinte de 1946, a partir do quadro de crise econômica configurado pelo fim
da guerra e o conseqüente derrocada da Ditadura Estadonovista, visando
compreender os impasses e dilemas enfrentados pelos atores políticos diante da
necessidade de reordenação do quadro institucional no que diz respeito à política
econômica. O pensamento liberal estava diante da complexa tarefa de redefinir a
enorme presença do Estado na economia e na sociedade brasileira. O debate em
torno do desenvolvimento da indústria foi um dos eixos das contendas
observadas em meio a Constituinte. O estudo se deteve no pensamento de
Horácio Lafer, entendendo-o como uma ponte entre as duas experiências
políticas. A análise dos partidos, em especial da posição assumida diante dos
impasses enfrentados no processo de reconstrução democrática, foi objeto de
nossa atenção ao acompanhar o processo de mudanças e continuidades que
caracterizaram o governo do presidente Dutra.

Folkrörelserna i välfärdssamhället / Voluntary associations in the welfare societyEngberg, Jan January 1986 (has links)
Swedish voluntary associations, folkrörelser have been honoredwith a gilt-edged history, a chronicle in need of criticalnuance. Those mass movements which at the time of thebreakthrough of democracy and the welfare society were bearers ofcivic ideals and visions have changed in character and metcompetition from other organizations. Over the years theorganizational sphere as well as its enviroment have evolved intosomething of a completely different nature.The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the communityfunctions of voluntary associations; and to identify theconditions under which voluntary associations are able to promotedifferent political cultures.The analyses prove that voluntary associations in the welfaresociety occupy community functions located between the extremesof a service and a pressure function. Extrapolated to themacro-level they are on the way to a privatist and pluralistsociety, respectively. Few, if any, organizations maintain forcesthat point in the direction of a civil or state society.Organizations push society onto a path leading towards pluralismand individualism, but what does this imply for the developmentof the whole social formation? A variety of forces maycounterbalance the aspirations of voluntary associations. In thewelfare society key emphasis must be placed on what happens whenorganizations meet the challenge imposed by the volumnious growthof the public sector.The capacity of organizations to change the enviroment isdependent on the scale and thoroughness of public intervention:the more extensive government interventionism, the harder it isfor organizations to leave their imprint on the making of apolitical culture. If, however, the integration of the economic,social, and political arenas was to disintegrate or the arenaswere to become softer in their contours, organization potentialswould grow stronger. Voluntary associations are more reactivethan active in political conditions characterized by integratedarenas and government interventionism; reducing publicintervention is a prerequisite for organizations to be able toreshape the political culture. / digitalisering@umu

Hospodářský vývoj Argentiny za vlády J.D. Peróna 1946 - 1955 / Economic development in Argentina during the government od J.D.Perón 1946 - 1955Holas, Petr January 2008 (has links)
This thesis deals with the period of nearly ten years of the first governance period of Juan Domingo Perón. In this era were established bases of peronist movement, whose legacy is presented in Argentine politics till these days. This period represents a fundamental turning point in Argentine history, both from the politic and socio-economic points of view. The thesis is divided into four major chapters. The first one outlines the status of Argentine society and the economy in the context of the international situation before Perón became Argentine president. Another three chapters deal directly with the period of Perón's government. The first one deals with three fundaments of peronist economic policy of initial period, which included economic nationalism and etatism, industrialization and especially massive redistribution policy. The second chapter analyses the socio-economic aspects of peronist constitutional reform of 1949, economic development at the end of Perón's first presidency and development in the agricultural sector during his first presidency. Final chapter examines changes in economic policy during the second Perón's presidency and causes of his deposition.

IFPI : A Postcolonial Critique of the Trade Body’s Organisational Structure and Ideology / IFPI : En postkolonial kritik av handelsorganets organisationsstruktur och ideologiWallin Hageving, Andreas January 2019 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to present a postcolonial critique that may empower non-Western music industries globally. As per Nigerian music executive Tunde Ogundipe’s reasoning, its analysis isn’t prescriptive – it presents a critical analysis of IFPI’s organisation and ideology, which non-Western stakeholders may use as free strategic business intelligence if/as they please. Using a sociological methodology, IFPI’s organisational structure and operations are analysed with reference to three postcolonial axes: ideology, history and political geography. The analysis uncovers colonial path dependencies and present-day policies that reproduce the ‘civilising mission’. / Syftet med detta examensarbete är att presentera en postkolonial kritik som kan stärka icke-västerländska musikindustrier globalt. Enligt den nigerianska musikföretagsledaren Tunde Ogundipes resonemang är analysen inte föreskriftsmässig – den presenterar en kritisk analys av IFPIs organisation och ideologi, vilken icke-västerländska intressenter kan använda som gratis strategisk affärsintelligens om/som de vill. Med hjälp av en sociologisk metodik analyseras IFPI:s organisationsstruktur och verksamhet med hänvisning till tre postkoloniala axlar: ideologi, historia och politisk geografi. Analysen påvisar kolonialt stigberoende och samtida policys som reproducerar den “civiliserande missionen”.

The Rise of Resilience in EU Foreign Policy – A Shift of Paradigm or Parlance? : A comparative case study of the EU foreign policy before and after the EU Global StrategyAdolfsson, Tobias January 2019 (has links)
This master’s thesis studies the European Union’s (EU) foreign policy in the Eastern Partnership before and after the EU Global Strategy (EUGS) and investigates whether or not there has been a policy shift towards the paradigm of resilience. Previous research disagrees on the implications of the EUGS and I argue that more empirical research on the matter is needed. The purpose of this thesis is thus to empirically investigate whether or not a shift in EU foreign policy towards a paradigm of resilience has indeed taken place in practice after the launch of the EUGS. Two sources of data are used in the study: the first and principal are the annual action programmes for the Eastern Partnership used by the EU for planning and delivering of external assistance; the second is a set of semi-structured elite interviews conducted with respondents representing the Eastern Partnership and the EU respectively. The results are mixed, showing a slight trend towards resilience-building but no ground-breaking paradigm shift has occurred. I argue that the resilience-building focus and principled pragmatism approach presented by the EUGS rather should be seen as an attempt by the EU to be honest with the foreign policy it is already conducting.

Previous issue date: 2013-11-27 / Doctoral thesis comparing the authoritarian thinking of the Brazilian Francisco Campos and the German Carl Schmitt. Both have their intellectual apex in the 20 and 30 century helping to build the political economic model of their countries from an array of anti liberal thinking. Even without direct contact with one another, the thought of the two lawyers is very close, advocating a model of centralized state with high capacity to intervene in society. The power of intervention in society leads to changing economic and social forces, in the economic field eventually leads to a state action that organizes and guarantees a liberal model of economy, contradicting the fundamentals of anti liberal authors. Both in Brazil and in Germany we find the economic sector operating under the old rules liberals, however, with a new form of state intervention, creating a pragmatic authoritarianism I sought the efficient results of capitalism without running the risk of their ills. / Tese de doutorado que compara o pensamento autoritário do brasileiro Francisco Campos e do alemão Carl Schmitt. Ambos possuem seu ápice intelectual nas décadas de 20 e 30 do século XX ajudando a construir o modelo político econômico de seus países a partir de uma matriz de pensamento antiliberal. Mesmo não tendo contato direto um com o outro, o pensamento dos dois juristas é muito próximo, defendendo um modelo de Estado centralizado com alta capacidade de intervenção na sociedade. O poder de intervenção na sociedade leva a alteração da conjuntura de forças sociais e, no campo econômico acaba por levar a uma atuação estatal que organiza e garante um modelo liberal de economia, contradizendo os fundamentos antiliberais dos autores. Tanto no Brasil como na Alemanha encontramos o setor econômico atuando segundo as antigas regras liberais, porém, com uma nova forma de intervenção estatal, criando um autoritarismo pragmático eu buscava os resultados eficientes do capitalismo sem correr o risco de suas mazelas.

Trh stavebních hmot v Předlitavsku a Československu v letech 1873-1938. Formování, vývojové tendence, kartelizace / Market for Construction Materials in Cisleithania and Czechoslovakia from 1873 till 1938. Formation, Trends of Development, CartelizationGecko, Tomáš January 2017 (has links)
The aim of the dissertation is to understand the formation and development of the market for construction materials (cement, lime and bricks) in Cisleithania and Czechoslovakia. Emphasis is placed on market trends (changes in consumer habits, new technologies), market monopolisation, state interventionism and institutional changes in business activities (capital inputs of the banking sector and the spread of capital companies). The dissertation contentrates on the basic market conditions and market structure, as well as the strategies of the market players. The market performance (the impacts of the construction materials industry on the Cisleithanian and Czechoslovak economies) is also included. The research is limited by the period of the so-called Great Depression (construction materials began to be produced on the industrial basis) and the turn of 1938/1939, marking the instrumentalization of the Czech lands in favor of the German economy. The dissertation is based on methods of industrial economics (Structure-Conduct-Performance paradigm), economics, economic geography and traditional methodology of economic history (especially business history, hermeneutic and statistical method).
