‘Vamos Lentos Porque Vamos Lejos’: Towards a dialogical understanding of Spain’s 15MsOuziel, Pablo 29 September 2015 (has links)
Four years ago, on May 15th 2011, we witnessed in the Spanish State ‘something’ that was quickly and popularly referred to as 15M or the Indignados. Since that day, 15M has had a tremendous impact on the way a large part of the Spanish population understands itself and its response-abilities and rights. In addition, 15M has affected the way in which a large part of the Spanish population understands its environment and those living-beings with whom said environment is co-created and co-inhabited.
In this essay I immerse myself in an on-going non-disciplinary, multi-traditional multilogue with individuals being 15M. What I witness, feels and looks like a complex; mutating and dialogic; collective and cooperative; agonistic and transformative 'climate' that many refer to as el clima 15M (15m climate).
Allowing different 15M wisdoms to frame the research, I envision this essay as an attempt at gaining a dialogical understanding of what it is that we might be speaking of when referring to 15M. Through this exploration, I seek to place my work within the sketched parameters of what James Tully refers to as public philosophy.
The essay engages with individuals being 15M and with the vast literature in Spain around 15M and party-movement Podemos by academics and participants, and the European literature around populism, horizontality and Podemos grounded in Antonio Gramsci. It also draws on reciprocal elucidation literature in theory and in participatory, community-based social science. Moreover, the essay enters into dialogue with a whole body of literature on instrumental versus constitutive means-ends views of political change going back to Mahatma Gandhi and forward to Aldous Huxley, Richard Gregg, Hannah Arendt, Robert Young, Gene Sharp and Cesar Chavez.
By giving ‘perspicuous representation’ or thick description of 15M by means of reciprocal elucidation, I am able to make a unique contribution to the theoretical literature on reciprocal elucidation and public philosophy. I am also able to disclose the field of 15M (the phenomenon) in a way that shows it to be different from the way 15M appears in other theoretical frames. Finally, the use of this method of reciprocal elucidation makes a unique contribution to community-based and engaged forms of social scientific research. / Graduate / 0422 / 0615 / 0344 / pouziel@uvic.ca

Små gröna män : Början på ett nytt paradigm avseende det svenska militära maktmedelts nyttjande?Månsson, Fredrik, Lunde, Andreas January 2018 (has links)
Små gröna män – Början på ett nytt paradigm för det svenska militära maktmedlet? Nyttjandet av det svenska militära maktmedlet, Försvarsmakten, har alltid varit intimt förknippat med hur svenska politiker uppfattat sin omgivning. I tider av liten militär hotbild har relevansen av det militära maktmedlet minskat kontra andra maktmedel och Sverige har haft förmånen att kunna bidra aktivt till global säkerhet genom deltagande i internationella operationer. I tider av en ökad hotbild har relevansen ökat och nyttjandet blivit mer inåtriktat med fokus på försvaret av Sverige. Detta arbete tar sin utgångpunkt i hur dessa säkerhetspolitiska förändringar påverkar relevansen och nyttjandet av det svenska militära maktmedlet. Undersökningen analyserar hur den politiska sfären beskriver hotbilder och på vilket sätt det militära maktmedlet nyttjas. Syftet med att nyttja militära maktmedlet kan vara inåtriktat eller utåtriktat. Jämförelseperioderna och data för detta arbete utgörs av Försvarsberedningens rapporter år 2003 och 2017. Vid genomförandet av den kvalitativa analysen nyttjas Barry Buzan m.fl. vidgade säkerhetsbegrepp avseende hot inom olika sektorer. Den andra delen av analysen nyttjar Nils Andréns teorier om inåt- och utåtriktade aktiviteter som en stat vidtar för att skydda sin nation, härvid är fokus på det militära maktmedlets nyttjande. Analysen påvisar en tydlig hotförändring mellan de två tidpunkterna och samtidigt ett tydligt förändrat nyttjande av det militära maktmedlet. Hotbilden har rört sig från ett fokus på global terror till ett konfrontatoriskt Ryssland. Denna nya tydliga hotbild har också lett till en relevansförskjutning till förmån för det militära maktmedlet. I samma tidsperspektiv sker en nyttjandeförskjutning för det militära maktmedlet, till ett nationellt fokus dock med ett bibehållet internationellt engagemang. Den politiska sfären förväntar sig att Försvarsmakten löser sina uppgifter tillsammans med andra. Detta oavsett om det gäller försvaret av det egna territoriet eller internationella insatser. I linje med detta har Totalförsvaret åter fått en given plats i säkerhetspolitiken. / Little green men – The beginning of a new paradigm for Swedish military power? Usage of the Swedish military power, the Swedish armed forces, has always been intimately connected to how Swedish politicians interpret their surroundings. In times when there is a lack of threat to the state the relevance of the military power diminishes when compared to other security policy tools. During such times Sweden has had the opportunity and the will to contribute to global security, non the least by contributing to international and multi-dimensional operations, mainly to combat global terrorism. During times of a rise in threat towards the state the relevance of the military power and a more coherent attitude of defending the nation is natural. This essay use this as the starting point in how these security policy changes affects the relevance for and the usage of the Swedish military power. The essay analyzes how the political establishment describes threats to the state and in what shape or form the military power is used. Is it used as a tool for portraying security with an internal purpose or is it used for external purposes. For the analysis we compare Swedish defense board reports from 2003 and 2017. The work uses Barry Buzan et.al in regard to the wider security concept, consisting mainly of use of sectors and threats within sectors. The second part of the analysis uses Nils Andréns theories of internally and externally focused activities from a state with the purpose of securitizing the state. The focus of the internal and external activities is focused on the usage of the military power. The analysis clearly shows a change of threat between the two time periods, as well as a clear change in the usage of military power. The threat has developed from a focus on global terrorism to a hostile Russia. This change of the threat environment seems to have changed the relevance of military power in comparison with other security policy measures. During the same timeframe a shift of the use of the military power occurs. From participating in international military operations in all dimensions to a national focus with the defense of the state as the top priority. One paradox is obvious, the national focus does not diminish the will to continue participating in international operations. One effect of the changed threat assessment and the diversity of tasks that follow, leads to the need for the military power to work together with others, within the nation and with other nations.
