Abstract

Battleground models Wisconsin's contentious political communication ecology: the way that politics, social life, and communication intersect and create conditions of polarization and democratic decline. Drawing from 10 years of interviews, news and social media content, and state-wide surveys, we combine qualitative and computational analysis with time-series and multi-level modeling to study this hybrid communication system - an approach that yields unique insights about nationalization, social structure, conventional discourses, and the lifeworld. We explore these concepts through case studies of immigration, healthcare, and economic development, concluding that despite nationalization, distinct state-level effects vary by issue as partisan actors exert their discursive power.

Abstract

Pen in the Park is a unique revolutionary children's book written by Raşel Meseri and illustrated by Sanne Karssenberg. Meseri narrates the Gezi Park protests in Istanbul through the figure of a penguin named Pen, whogoes on a trip from Antarctica to Gezi Park to save his fellow penguins, and gets involved in various adventures with his friends Chapulletta, the cat Trafo, and the dog Loukanikos. The Gezi movement of 2013-14 started with the threat of the destruction of the Gezi Park, a public space, which became quickly occupied by protestors from all generations and political backgrounds to build a movement that addressed not only the destruction of green areas and gentrification of public space, but also the democratic deficit of the country as such. At the height of the protests, dozens of protesters were killed and thousands injured. As the result of the protests, the park remained a public space and the struggle continues in different forms up to this day. During the protests, penguins were reclaimed as one of the symbols, as the main television channels preferred to show documentaries about the lives of penguins, instead of the uprising in Turkey. In Meseri's story, Pen the brave penguin, Pen, is both a symbol and an active agent in the course of events, guiding us through the process of political emancipation, democratic experiment, friendship, and solidarity that characterizes the Gezi movement.

Abstract

"This book examines to what extent politics in Iceland have been transformed in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The book focusses on whether the short-term sudden shock caused by the Great Recession has permanently transformed politics, political behaviour and the Icelandic party system or whether its effect was primarily transitory. These questions remain highly relevant to the wider field of political science, as the book examines under what circumstances sudden shocks lead to permanent changes in a political system. As such, the book situates the post-crisis Icelandic case both temporally and comparatively, and evaluates to what extent the Iceland experience is reflective of broader patterns found in other Western democracies, particularly those other countries which were also hard hit by the Great Recession (e.g. Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy). This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic politics, Icelandic politics and society, electoral studies, political parties and party systems, representative democracy, political behaviour and more broadly to European and comparative politics"--

Abstract

La Ve République s’installe à un moment où deux processus complexes et à géométrie variable – la décolonisation, d’une part, et l’essor économique sans précédent, de l’autre – dessinent de nouveaux périmètres pour la vie de la Cité. Après plus de soixante ans d’existence, ce régime, qui apparut à beaucoup comme la structure politique d’accompagnement de la modernisation du pays et de sa métamorphose, semble peiner à conduire la nouvelle mue de la société française au sein d’un monde globalisé. En historien, Jean-François Sirinelli observe le fonctionnement de l’écosystème quinto-républicain. Il en analyse les crises conjoncturelles et éclaire les mouvements structurels de la démocratie française de ces dernières décennies.

Abstract

La Ve République s'installe à un moment où deux processus complexes et à géométrie variable - la décolonisation, d'une part, et l'essor économique sans précédent, de l'autre - dessinent de nouveaux périmètres pour la vie de la Cité. Après soixante ans d'existence, ce régime, qui apparut à beaucoup comme la structure politique d'accompagnement de la modernisation du pays et de sa métamorphose, semble peiner à conduire la nouvelle mue de la société française au sein d'un monde globalisé. En historien, Jean-François Sirinelli observe le fonctionnement de l'écosystème quinto-républicain. Il en analyse les crises conjoncturelles et éclaire les mouvements structurels de la démocratie française de ces six dernières décennies.
