Lyndon Johnson, the thirty-sixth President, had a profound affect on the Democratic Party in America. Johnson was contradictory, supportive, and harmful to the Democratic Party during the middle decades of the twentieth century. In a new interpretation of Johnson the politician, this dissertation explores Johnson's early partisan development and ascent as Democratic Leader in the United States Senate. Furthermore this dissertation evaluates the reasons for Johnson's ambiguous relationship with the Democratic Party. Johnson's first teacher in the art of Democratic politics was his father, Sam Ealy Johnson. This revisionist study of Johnson emphasizes for the first time how Sam Ealy Johnson taught his son about the art of pragmatic political behavior. However, his father's lessons and Johnson's early application of political knowledge was in the context of the Democratic one-party world of Texas politics. Johnson took his understanding of politics in a hegemonic Democratic system and soon applied it to a series of positions first as a Congressional Secretary, then as a New Deal administrator, and later as Congressman and Senator. By the end of his first senate term, Johnson's vision of what it meant to be a Democrat had changed little. Yet his focus on achieving consensus put him in opposition to the political objective of other Democrats. The partisan problems Johnson encountered after six years only increased later in his Senate career and as President. / text

This study focuses on, and explores the curriculum content and resources used when teaching on the European Union (EU) and EU-questions within civics education at lower secondary level in Sweden. The research findings have been examined from a ‘best practice’ perspective in relation to subject matter which is seen as positive in the context of political participation. The content, which includes polity, policy and politics, has together with an approach to treat the content as domestic politics, been viewed as a successful model leading to political participation. In order to assess to what extent the taught content facilitates pupils political participation, the EU content taught at lower secondary education is compared to national politics. In addition, as it can be expected to have an impact on what is taught, the context and actual content what is taught about EU and national politics is also compared. The results, based on information and findings collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with teachers from six different municipalities show that EU education does not compare well when contrasted against the educational content taught in relation to national level polity, policy and politics. The curriculum content taught on the EU illustrates primarily that it is the polity dimension which is dominating whereas all EU education is framed more as foreign policy politics rather than as part of domestic politics. Swedish national politics on the other hand, to a larger extent, show signs of the three dimensions and has clear characteristics of domestic politics. The citizen’s ability to influence politics is at the core of education in relation to national politics. However, this does not seem to be the case when it comes to education in relation to the EU. The politics of Swedish political parties advocated at a national level is, for example, explored in detail; however, none or very little of their politics at EU level is addressed. The dominant question, in relation to EU studies, is if Sweden should be a full member of the EU or not. The educational design in relation to national politics comes across as better planned when compared to EU studies. What is brought into the educational content in relation to EU studies depends to a large extent on the context and subject area in which it is being raised.

This essays purpose is to study whether the political ideologies shift depending on the political level. For this purpose two political parties in Swedish parliament have been qualitative studied in a comparative analysis through the terms of social vision, outlook on mankind and economic organization.This study took its form when the authors found a study of Karlsson och Gilljam (2014), whom did a comparative quantitative study of the parties in parliament, asking the individual politicians in parliament, regions and in municipalities to take a stand on the left- and right scale by answering questions about economic organization, social vision and etc. This study gave a result that showed that the politicians of the municipalities had a more radical ideological view than their colleges in parliament. The hypothesis of this study started in the discussion whether politics in smaller scales, local governments and municipalities results in a shifting in ideology from the national manifest, due to the demands of cooperation with political parties with the opposite ideology in coalitions which is most common in Swedish municipalities in modern politics. This study hopes to add to the results from previous studies by comparing the written politics of the parties.This following study is analyzing the political party manifest from both local government and the national party programme/manifest from two political ideologies perspective, liberalism and socialism in a qualitive method. The two parties chosen for this study are both parties of parliament in Sweden since the election year of 2014 and can be found on different sides of the left- and right scale of political ideologies.The results of this essay show that there was no obvious ideological shift between the national and the local government level, though influences of the ideologies were found in both national and local level. This cannot give the conclusion that the ideological shift does not exist, but it may not show in this study. The ideological shift may occur in the daily politics but not in the political ideas written in the manifest.

This dissertation examines the process of transition to democratic governance in developing nations. In particular, it explores the role of civil society and of the progressive Catholic Church as a significant part of it in the democratization process at a sub-national level. The regional-temporal focus of this study is southern Mexico from the 1970s to the present, more specifically the predominantly indigenous state of Oaxaca. This dissertation fills a gap in the literature on the application of a concept, that of civil society, that arose in the context of the modernizing West to the democratization process of a Latin American and largely indigenous society. The choice of Oaxaca as an area for study allows for two main perspectives of analysis: first, it highlights the differences in state-society relationships that take place at a sub-national as compared to a national level, and the types of regimes resulting from these differences. Second, it emphasizes the way in which the highly indigenous character of Oaxaca's population shapes the nature and goals of this state's civil society. The central point of this dissertation is that civil society has been a significant factor in inducing democratization in Oaxaca by transforming the state-society relationship from co-optation to contestation, as well as in conveying the culturally determined political demands of the indigenous peoples to liberal political institutions. The success of civil society on this endeavor, however, depends not only on the composition of civil society itself but also on the complex array of rights, leaders, political opportunity for reform, and cultural environment in which civil society develops. More specifically, the processes of democratization and de-democratization in Oaxaca depend in large measure on the ways in which national and sub-national actors shape the balance between cooperative, confrontational, and radical forms of civil society. Where political opportunities for reform allow confrontational forces to gain great capacity to challenge categorical inequalities, the processes of democratization have greater chances of succeeding. Where national and sub-national elites are able to use cooperative and radical spaces in civil society to restrict contestation, de-democratization should be expected. / Political Science

This dissertation identifies and explores the dilemma of regional governance, namely how to address political and economic challenges which occur at the meso-, as opposed to local, national, or international scale. Drawing on a large body of theoretical work on decentralization and federalism, this dissertation addresses the question, how do different institutional arrangements for political, fiscal, and administrative decentralization influence the capacity of political systems to capture regional-scale externalities? It does so by examining the responses of four different political systems, two federal and two unitary, to the problem of capturing economic externalities through River Basin Management (RBM), a quintessential regional issue. RBM outcomes are operationalized in terms of efficacy of capture of both water quality and quantity externalities which occur within inter-jurisdictional river basins. Through close historical analysis of six paired case studies across the four country cases, the dissertation argues that the capacity of political systems to capture regional-scale externalities depends on the ability of sub-national jurisdictions to pursue localized preferences, which is in this dissertation referred to as sub-national territorial politics. These politics are most prevalent in federal systems, which typically accord sub-national territorial jurisdictions with greater political power and fiscal resources. These political systems feature fewer and weaker regional governance institutions, and generally less effective regional-scale externality capture, than their counterparts. This dissertation contributes to a growing "sub-national turn" in comparative politics in two ways. First, it identifies the geographically-rooted interests which often shape sub-national actor preferences, particularly with respect to natural resource issues. Second, the dissertation discerns the lack of political incentives for central governments to resolve disputes between sub-national administrative jurisdictions, particularly in the federal systems in which these units are the basis for political representation at the national level.

Com a efetivação do SUS, em 1988, grandes mudanças no setor saúde aconteceram, dentre as quais o advento da Política Nacional de Humanização (PNH), implantada em 2003, que tem como objetivo principal qualificação das práticas de saúde, acolhimento, valorização dos trabalhadores e usuários com a participação da gestão. Pautada nesses princípios, a Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), criada em 1990, apresenta uma dinâmica de reorganização dos serviços de saúde, prevenção das doenças e reabilitação do indivíduo. A humanização na ESF favoreceu a construção e troca de saberes com as redes de atenção à saúde, interação com os trabalhadores de saúde e um forte compromisso com a valorização do ser humano, da ambiência e do processo de trabalho das equipes de saúde da família. A presente Dissertação objetivou analisar as perspectivas dos profissionais que atuam em um Centro de Saúde da Comunidade, na cidade de Palmas/TO, a respeito da humanização na Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa em saúde no Centro de Saúde da Comunidade Aureny II, de maio a junho de 2016, com aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa em Seres Humanos da Universidade Federal do Tocantins, sob parecer 114/2014. Fizeram parte da amostra dez profissionais da Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizada uma entrevista semiestruturada, os dados foram gravados e depois transcritos; a análise dos dados foi feita por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Todos os profissionais conceituaram humanização como forma de acolher o usuário dentro do serviço de saúde, tratá-lo com responsabilidade, proporcionando carinho e escuta qualificada. O relacionamento entre os trabalhadores e o usuário é considerado bom, apesar dos conflitos. Por outro lado, o relacionamento entre os trabalhadores é satisfatório. Quanto à ambiência, o espaço físico precisa melhorar, constituindo uma das principais dificuldades relatadas pelos profissionais. Através dos relatos dos profissionais, o processo de educação permanente em saúde não faz parte da rotina do Centro de Saúde da comunidade. Uma das facilidades encontradas está na liberdade de os profissionais realizarem as suas atividades. A maioria dos trabalhadores veem a humanização na Estratégia de Saúde da Família como um desafio que precisa melhorar. Diante dos resultados encontrados, para efetivar a humanização à qual almejamos e promover mudanças nos modelos de atenção e gestão em saúde, é oportuno apostar na implementação dos dispositivos que norteiam a PNH: o grupo de trabalho de humanização, o colegiado gestor, o sistema de escuta qualificada para usuários e trabalhadores, o projeto terapêutico, a educação permanente em saúde para os trabalhadores do serviço e a elaboração de projetos de ambiência com ampliação do Centro de Saúde da comunidade, com o objetivo de fortalecer cada vez mais o controle social e os princípios e diretrizes do SUS. / With the implementation of the SUS, in 1988, major changes in the health sector, such as the National Humanization Policy (PNH), implemented in 2003, aimed at qualifying health practices, welcoming and valuing workers and management. Based on these principles, the Family Health Strategy (FHS), created in 1990, presents a dynamic of reorganization of health services, disease prevention and rehabilitation of the individual. Humanization in FHS favored the construction and exchange of knowledge as health care networks, interaction with health workers and a commitment to a valuation of the human being, the environment and the work process of the family health units. This dissertation aimed to analyze the perspectives of professionals working in a Community Health Center in the city of Palmas / TO, regarding humanization in the Family Health Strategy. Therefore, a qualitative health research was carried out at the Aureny II Community Health Center, from May to June 2016, with the approval of the Ethics Committee on Research in Human Beings of the Federal University of Tocantins, based on opinion 114/2014. The sample comprised 10 professionals from the Family Health Strategy. For the data collection, a semi-structured interview was used, the data was recorded and then transcribed; the analysis of the data was done through the technique of content analysis. All professionals conceptualized humanization as a way to welcome the user within the health service, treat him with responsibility, providing affection and qualified listening. Although conflicts happen from time to time between professionals and users, the relationship between these subjects is considered satisfactory.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the minorities issue within the Turkey-European Union relations. In the study, international, European and Turkish perspectives in minority understanding will be explored, respectively. The main argument will read: &ldquo / Minorities issue is a highly politicized matter upon which neither legal nor academic standards are reached commonly in international, European or Turkish perspectives / thus, it must not constitute one of the focal points in Turkey-EU relations&rdquo / . The analyses of historical development, legal background, political influence as well as a conceptual analysis will be followed for all three perspectives. A textual and descriptive research method will be employed throughout the thesis. The conclusion will be drawn with regards to the controversial position of the minorities issue, overall, and specifically for the membership negotiations between Turkey and European Union. This road of approach would contribute to the perception of those reluctant to the political intervention of the European Union towards candidate states, as well as would help locate Turkey&rsquo / s future position regarding Protection of Minorities and minority rights.

Tem como objetivo maior analisar as iniciativas de preservação do patrimônio cultural das informações científicas e tecnológicas propostas pela quinta ação do Relatório da Política Nacional de Memória da Ciência e da Tecnologia nas unidades de pesquisa do MCTI localizadas na região Nordeste. Estabelece, como hipótese, que as Unidades não possuem uma cultura de preservação da memória de C&T, não atribuindo a essas informações o caráter de patrimônio, portanto, impossibilitam efetivas ações estratégicas de preservação ao patrimônio de C&T propostas na política mencionada. Como objetivos específicos: apresentar a relação teórico-conceitual de Cultura com a Ciência, Tecnologia, Memória e Patrimônio; demonstrar que as produções de C&T são partes do Patrimônio Cultural Nacional e constituem a memória social do Brasil; identificar a natureza das informações Científicas e Tecnológicas produzidas nas unidades de pesquisa do MCTI localizadas na região Nordeste; identificar as ações de preservação do patrimônio cultural de C&T nas unidades de pesquisa da amostra; descrever as estratégias de resgate, preservação e difusão da memória da C&T no país que vem sendo utilizadas nos institutos de pesquisa da amostra. Fundamentada no conceito de cultura de forma semiótica (GEERTZ, 1978), apresenta a relação entre a significação atribuída às informações científicas e tecnológicas tomadas como patrimoniais, responsáveis pela preservação de sua memória e as ações desenvolvidas nas Unidades de Pesquisa da amostra. Utiliza-se para isso do método dos quatro polos – epistemológico, teórico, técnico e morfológico - para dar segmento à investigação por meio de uma estrutura sistêmica e completa. Dentro do polo técnico, por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória, utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica e a análise documental para fundamentação dos conceitos correlacionados ao tema, e investigação das Instituições presentes na amostra. Utilizou-se do instrumento do questionário para coletar informações nas Unidades, apoiadas no referencial teórico desta pesquisa. Como resultado, foi identificada a natureza das informações produzidas nas Unidades da amostra, seu espaço, acondicionamento, pessoal especializado e práticas de preservação. Além disso, foram mapeadas dentro das Unidades de Pesquisa ligadas ao MCTI as que possuem práticas de preservação significativas quanto às informações de C&T e suas possíveis relações com as práticas existentes nas Unidades de pesquisa da amostra. / Studies the practices of preservation in the memory of Research Unities related to the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (MCTI). Has as main objective to analyze the scientific and technological information cultural patrimony preservation initiatives proposed by the fifth action of the National Politics of Science and Technology Memory Report in the MCTI research facilities located in the Northeast Region. Establishes, as hypotheses, that the Unities do not possess a culture of preservation of the S&T memory, not giving these information the patrimony character, therefore, precludes effective strategic actions of preservation to the S&T proposed in the fore mentioned politics. As specific objectives: to present the theoretical-conceptual relation of Culture With Science, Technology, Memory and Patrimony; demonstrate that the S&T productions are part of the National Cultural Patrimony and constitute the social memory of Brazil; identify the nature of Scientific and Technological information produced in the MCTI research facilities located in the Northeast Region; identify the S&T cultural patrimony preservation actions in the sample´s research facilities; describe the strategies of recuperation, preservation, and diffusion of the S&T memory in the country that are being used in the sample´s research institutes. Grounded in the concept of culture of semiotic form (GEERTZ, 1978), presents the relation between the meaning attributed to the scientific and technological information taken as patrimonial, responsible by the preservation of its memory and actions developed in the Research Facilities of the sample. Uses for that the method of the four poles – epistemological, theoretical, technical, and morphological – to give segment to the investigation through a systemic and complete structure. Inside the technical pole, through an exploratory research, bibliographic research and documental analysis have been used as fundament of the concepts correlated to the theme, and investigation of the Institutions present in the sample. The quiz instrument has been used to collect information in the Facilities, supported in the theoretical referential of this research. As a result, the nature of the information produced in the Facilities of the sample has been identified, as well as its space, stowage, specialized staff, and preservation practices. Besides that, it has been mapped inside the Research Facilities connected to the STIM the ones that hold expressive preservation practices about the S&T information and its possible relations with the existing practices in the Research Facilities of the sample.

As inovações trazidas pelo Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS) apontam para o trabalho socioeducativo como referencial teórico-metodológico, técnico-operativo e éticopolítico para as intervenções dos trabalhadores sociais. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa objetivou compreender a percepção dos trabalhadores sociais (assistentes sociais e psicólogos) acerca do trabalho socioeducativo realizado com as famílias nos Centros de Referência de Assistência Social (CRAS) no município de Pindamonhangaba/SP, região metropolitana do vale do Paraíba Paulista, O pressuposto teórico fundamenta-se numa concepção sóciohistórica sobre a política de assistência, e os trabalhadores sociais, bem como a dimensão socioeducativa, esta última baseada na educação popular, a qual desvenda um princípio educativo que essencialmente materializa um conteúdo político-pedagógico, articulado a determinado modo de produção e reprodução das relações sociais. A abordagem é qualitativa, para coletas de dados utilizou-se a metodologia da História Oral e a técnica de depoimentos orais a partir de eixos norteadores, os quais respondem aos objetivos específicos propostos na pesquisa. A pesquisa se desenvolveu com seis profissionais que atuam no CRAS de distintos territórios do município. As análises mostram a importância da temática pesquisada já que o trabalho socioeducativo é visto pelos trabalhadores sociais como peça fundamental na execução de suas atividades nos CRAS; relatam também que o trabalho socioeducativo alcança, mesmo que minimamente, autonomia/emancipação política dos usuários da Política de Assistência Social, embora ratificam que não é somente por meio do trabalho socioeducativo que estas categorias se efetivarão. As temáticas dos encontros, segundo os profissionais são planejadas pelos próprios a partir do cotidiano dos participantes a fim de proporcionar a identificação e pertencimento com o grupo, favorecendo a participação. De outro lado, embora os profissionais concebam o significado e importância de uma prática voltada para `pedagogia emancipatória, ainda apresentam dificuldades em construir estratégias que contribuam com o rompimento da alienação dos sujeitos com vistas à sua organização e participação. Por fim, o trabalho no CRAS e nos grupos socioeducativos é percebido pelos profissionais como um trabalho interdisciplinar, pois este trabalho concebe o indivíduo/família em uma perspectiva de totalidade. / The innovations brought by Social assistance Unique Sytem (SUAS) point to the social education work as theorical methodological referencial, technical operation and politics etchic for the interventions of social workers. In that sense, the research aimed to comprehend the social workers? perception (social assistants and psychologists) about.
