Europeanization, integration and identity: a social constructivist fusion perspective on Norway
In: Routledge advances in European politics, 83
This book analyses how domestic and European structures impact on national actors' identities, interests and foreign policy practices. Employing Norway as the case study area, the author uses this nation as an example to assess Europeanization and identity politics across the European Union (EU).Utilising an original and innovative approach called 'social constructivist fusion perspective', the author addresses Europeanization across several key factors. The author assesses the influence of the EU on 'half-way member countries', and the impact of identity politics and domestic.

HOSTILE TAKEOVER: ANTIUNIONISM AND THE NEOLIBERAL POLITICS OF URBAN SCHOOL REFORM IN NEW YORK
In: Working USA: the journal of labor & society, Band 9, Heft 2, S. 225-243
ISSN: 1743-4580
Much of the current discourse on public educational reform in the U.S. collapses into concerns over testing and/or school governance. Yet there are neoliberal policies being promoted in the guise of educational reform initiatives that are eroding teacher union gains, particularly in urban centers. This article focuses on a recent conflict between the United Federation of Teachers and Mayor Michael Bloomberg over a fair labor contract in New York City as an illustrative example of the antiteacher union trend taking place in urban education reform efforts in the U.S. The author calls for greater teacher union–community solidarity to recapture public education.

PANDEMIC SARS-COV-2 DEVELOPMENTS AND PROJECTIONS. SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRY CASES
Abstract: This article below sees the countries' behaviours while a quick, although gradual resuming the economic activity previously interrupted by the pandemic crisis of Sars-Cov-2. There will be reviewed measures adopted, statistics, related policies applied since the beginning of this crisis and, where appropriate, expected for the immediate future in the governments' agenda. Details, here including opinions inserted in this text, return in search of questions such as: (1) Why these countries and not those ones?; (2) Were these measures taken better or more efficient than the others?; (3) Were the earlier measures taken, e.g. in just primary moments of pandemic, more appropriate than the others for this exact reason, and which are these measures?; (4)What exactly makes these measures taken more credible?; (5)Who's interest(s) and responsibilities for these measures, of course, as the country's public authorities?

Marxistisch-feministisch - Geschichte einer Verbindung im Streit ; Marxism-Feminism. The history of a union in contest
After positioning the topic in a historical framework, sketching the main paradigm in discussion, the article concentrates on three main areas: 1) the challenge of discussing subjectivity within a marxist tradition which is mainly concentrated on the economic sphere; thus linking the possibility to change society to the necessity of changing oneself. 2) the challenge of criticizing Marx' concept of labour and value-theory and thus bringing domestic labour into the heart of marxism, and connecting the problem with the necessity of reorganizing 'work-society' today. 3) the challenge of linking the critique of political economy to patriarchy and thus doubting the usefulness of thinking domination in a one-dimensional way, and offering a new idea on the fundamental part women's oppression plays in capitalist society. The author summarizes the main discussions from the seventies up to now and links them to her own experiences and contributions in this field. As a feminist she transgresses the boundaries of academic disciplines and covers psychology, sociology, economy and politics. ; After positioning the topic in a historical framework, sketching the main paradigm in discussion, the article concentrates on three main areas: 1) the challenge of discussing subjectivity within a marxist tradition which is mainly concentrated on the economic sphere; thus linking the possibility to change society to the necessity of changing oneself. 2) the challenge of criticizing Marx' concept of labour and value-theory and thus bringing domestic labour into the heart of marxism, and connecting the problem with the necessity of reorganizing 'work-society' today. 3) the challenge of linking the critique of political economy to patriarchy and thus doubting the usefulness of thinking domination in a one-dimensional way, and offering a new idea on the fundamental part women's oppression plays in capitalist society.

The Politics of Personality in Brazil
In: Journal of democracy, Band 22, Heft 2, S. 75-88
ISSN: 1086-3214
President Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva steered Brazil into an era of economic stability and growth. Under his administration, redistributive social policies lifted thirty-million people out of poverty and the country rose as a player in world politics. Riding his coattails, Workers' Party (PT) candidate Dilma Rousseff, a newcomer to electoral politics, won Brazil's highest office on 31 October 2010 by a 12-point margin over José Serra of the Brazilian Social Democratic Party (PSDB). Yet it is debatable whether he created a lasting electoral realignment. Lulismo remains an expression of personalized politics rather than a manifestation of more enduring partisan commitments.

L'émigration de l'ex-Union soviétique : prémices et inconnues
Anatoli Vichnevski et Jeanne Zayontchkovskaia
On peut distinguer dans l'émigration soviétique, entre 1917 et 1990, trois principales vagues : les deux premières correspondent aux conséquences de la révolution de 1917 et des deux guerres mondiales ; une troisième qualifiée « d'ethnique » concerne les dernières décennies. Elle est constituée par les représentants de minorités nationales insatisfaites de leur statut qui recherchent, soit leur patrie d'origine, soit l'intégration à une puissante diaspora à l'étranger. Depuis 1988, la situation s'est modifiée : un début de libéralisation des déplacements a augmenté très fortement le flux de l'émigration qui se dirige principalement vers Israël et l'Allemagne. Ces émigrés viennent essentiellement des grandes villes de Russie, d'Ukraine et du Kazakhstan. L'entrée en vigueur en janvier 1993, de la loi votée sur la liberté de déplacement va accélérer ce processus. Ce sera la « quatrième émigration », thème essentiel de cet article.
Cette nouvelle émigration, a plusieurs aspects. Les auteurs font un rappel historique de l'expansion territoriale russe, de la colonisation « interne » au XIXe et XXe siècles. Le maximum de cette émigration vers les villes en expansion de Biélorussie, Moldavie, Asie Centrale, Kazakhstan mais aussi Lettonie, Estonie, se situe vers les années 60. On assiste maintenant au renversement de la tendance, au retour des Russes dans leur république et parallèlement à un afflux des autres nationalités vers la Russie.
L'émigration européenne vers l'étranger affecterait les populations déjà « modernisées », plus ouvertes au mode de vie occidental, habitant surtout la partie européenne de l'URSS, la Sibérie et l'Extrême-Orient. Son évolution va dépendre de la tournure des événements intérieurs du pays. L'émigration des populations « asiatiques » serait due essentiellement à l'augmentation de la main-d'œuvre autochtone provoquée par la concurrence sur le marché du travail. Le départ des « éléments étrangers » est loin d'avoir réglé les problèmes de surpopulation en Asie Centrale générateurs de la montée du chômage et du renforcement des tensions et du nationalisme. La situation se dégrade même en Russie restée jusque là ouverte aux diverses migrations internes. Le départ à l'étranger devient alors l'ultime remède pour améliorer des conditions de vie de plus en plus mauvaises.
Une autre caractéristique de cette nouvelle vague est le départ de la main-d'œuvre qualifiée (« fuite des cerveaux »), surtout en provenance des républiques européennes (85 % des émigrants potentiels sont des citadins), mais il est difficile d'en évaluer l'importance qui va aussi dépendre des accords conclus avec les gouvernements occidentaux.
Tous les scénarios de l'émigration sont possibles en URSS. De l'exode massif au blocage des frontières à la suite d'une crise politique violente. Les évaluations qui en sont faites se rapportent seulement à une émigration de type économique. Des difficultés techniques et psychologiques peuvent freiner le courant migratoire. Tout peut être envisagé sans que l'on puisse apporter, dans l'état actuel des choses, d'autres précisions.
