<p>This essay aims to study how national tests in the ninth grade are being viewed upon in the Swedish school system. What are the affected people’s thoughts regarding its field of application? For further information about this matter, three different sub studies have taken place. In the first sub study, literature from The Swedish National Agency for Education (SNAE) has been studied and compared to other researches. In the second sub study, pupils who took part in the national tests during the previous year answered a survey about their experiences working with the tests. The third sub study includes interviews with 12 teachers who all work with national tests in the ninth grade. These teachers were asked questions about their experiences working with the national tests. Results from the three sub studies are discussed thoroughly and are being brought together through a neo-rationalistic perspective in the discussion part of the essay. The major conclusion made is that there is a difference between the guidelines given by SNAE and how the affected people within the schools look upon the test system.</p>

Der vierte Band der Potsdamer Textbücher bringt erstmals den klassischen Text der Politikwissenschaft zum Thema diktatorische Herrschaftssysteme in deutscher Sprache. Juan Linz reflektiert darin die Debatten um Totalitarismus und Demokratie und beschreibt die autoritäre Herrschaft als eigenständige Form politischer Machtausübung. Es ist eine exzellente Auseinandersetzung mit den politischen Phänomenen des 20. Jahrhunderts, die sich durch theoretische Tiefe, empirische Fülle und methodische Klarheit auszeichnet.

L'indagine ha per oggetto il periodo americano di Luigi Sturzo (1940-1946), finora proco esplorato, soprattutto dal punto di vista delle fonti americane. E' stata messa in luce una serie di attività politiche e culturali, inquadrabili in precise strategie, volte alla diffusione dei valori della democrazia cristiana, a livello internazionale; alla formazione della classe politica; al più ampio sostegno alla patria lontana. / The essay focuses the American period of Luigi Sturzo (1940-1946), which has not been sufficiently explored until now, expecially from the point of view of the American archives data.

This PhD thesis examines the Gulf monarchies of Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as they strive to transform their political economies away from dependency on hydrocarbon revenues into more diverse sectors of economic activity. In particular, the research attempts to forecast the monarchies’ chances of achieving the transformation into principally private sector-led economies, while maintaining absolute rule and excluding those outside the circle of the ruling élites from political power or influence. The central research question guiding the study is ‘Human and National Security in Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates – Should Climate Change Matter?’ The effects of climate change provide a useful lens through which to examine each of the states’ policies and actions as they attempt to cope with the physical degradation of an already water and heat-stressed environment, coupled with declining oil and gas revenues from the West as a result of international climate change agreements. The thesis applies a ten question research framework to each of the entities to produce individual case studies for comparison. The research finds that climate change is acknowledged as an issue by each of the states, but is not at the top of their list of priorities. Rather, measures to improve human security are aimed at maximising the economic productiveness of each country to make up the deficit caused by decreasing hydrocarbon revenues and enable the monarchies to maintain the high level of free and subsidised state services they currently provide to their populations. They believe the effective maintenance of services directly contributes to political stability which assures the continuance of their current system of governance where political power lies solely with the rulers and their close advisors. Essentially, the priority for each of the ruling families is not climate change, but regime survival, preferably in its current form.

Este estudo está inserido na temática da formação de elites dirigentes no Brasil e tem como objetivo analisar as origens sociais, trajetórias sociais e profissionais, os recursos sociais herdados e adquiridos e os respectivos princípios de legitimação de uma elite técnica do Estado brasileiro no período compreendido entre 1930 e 1945, em nível nacional, que, especificamente, foi composta por seis homens que ocuparam posições de direção no Departamento Administrativo do Serviço Público (DASP) durante o Estado Novo: Jorge Oscar de Mello Flôres; Rafael da Silva Xavier; Luiz Simões Lopes; Moacir Ribeiro Briggs; Murilo Braga de Carvalho; e Mário Bittencourt Sampaio. Tomando como ponto de partida a condição periférica da sociedade brasileira e, consequentemente, a inexistência de estruturas sociais em que o título profissional seja o principal princípio de hierarquização, propõe-se tornar explícito os condicionantes sociais e culturais de formação dessa elite que atuou como mediadora na importação de modelos e princípios da Administração Científica norteamericana. Analisando as transformações ocorridas na estrutura organizativa e institucional do Estado no período, aponta-se a adaptação dos bens simbólicos importados para um contexto que diverge do de origem e evidencia-se a continuidade das interseções entre a esfera burocrática e a esfera política. Frente à proximidade dos universos sociais com a política, examina-se as origens sociais e as trajetórias sociais e profissionais dos agentes enfocados pelo estudo e evidencia-se os tipos de recursos e os modos como foram acumulados e acionados por eles para a realização de trajetórias de êxito no Estado. Destacase, como resultado, a utilização de recursos diversos que permitem a reprodução de grupos já socialmente dominantes, as relações dos trunfos sociais como a posse de redes de relações sociais e um capital simbólico personificado com o acesso e a manutenção de posições sociais dominantes, e, em função destes mecanismos pessoais de dominação e inserções nas redes de reciprocidade, as redefinições dos trunfos profissionais e princípios administrativos importados nas lutas políticas pelo controle do Estado e pela autoridade legítima de construir a nação. / This study is inserted under the scenery of the formation of ruling elites in Brazil and intends to analyse the social origins, social and professional trajectories, inherited and acquired social resources and its principles of legitimacy of a technical elite of the Brazilian state in the period between 1930 and 1945 at the national level, specifically composed by six men who occupied leadership positions in the Administrative Department of Public Service (DASP) during the Estado Novo: Jorge Oscar de Mello Flôres; Rafael da Silva Xavier; Luiz Simões Lopes; Moacir Ribeiro Briggs; Murilo Braga de Carvalho; and Mario Bittencourt Sampaio. Taking as its starting point the peripheral condition of Brazilian society and, consequently, the absence of social structures in which the professional title is the main hierarchical principle, it is proposed to make explicit the social and cultural conditions of formation of such elite who acted as a mediator in the importing process of models, principles and ideologies of the North American Scientific Management. By analysing the changes occurred in the organizational and institutional structure of the national in this period, is appointed the adaptation of the symbolic goods imported into a context that differs from its source and is demonstrated the continuity of the intersections between both the bureaucratic sphere and the political sphere. In face of the proximity of different social universes with politics, it is examined the social origins as well as the social and professional trajectory of these six agents focused by this study and it is highlighted the types of resources and different ways they were managed which leaded them to some well-succeeded trajectories in the State. It is highlighted, as a conclusion: a) the usage of several resources that allowed the reproduction of existing socially dominant groups; b) the relationship between both social resources such as the possession of social networks and symbolic capital based on the person and the access and maintenance of ruling positions; c) according to these personal mechanisms of domination and insertions on reciprocity relations, occurs the redefinitions and reappropriations of professional assets and the imported administrative principles as an resource in the political struggles for the control of the state and the legitimate authority to build the nation.
