  • Vom Abstellgleis Zur Nebenregierung1
    05_Hornig Seite 454 Donnerstag, 13. Dezember 2007 9:06 09 Eike-Christian Hornig »Camera obscura« – Der italienische Senat und seine Mitglieder auf Lebenszeit: Vom Abstellgleis zur Nebenregierung1 Das italienische Parlament gilt im internationalen Vergleich als eine Besonderheit, da es mit dem Abgeordnetenhaus und dem Senat über zwei gleichberechtigte und direkt gewählte Kammern verfügt. Dieser »bicameralismo perfetto« ist seit den Umbrüchen der 1990er Jahre verstärkt in das Fadenkreuz institutioneller Reformen gerückt, da er als Quelle der Instabilität der Regierungen schnell auszumachen war. Da aber eine Kopplung des Senats an eine Dezentralisierung bzw. Föderalisierung Italiens bislang ausblieb, ist der Senat nach wie vor der »machtvolle Zwillingsbruder der Abgeordnetenkammer«2. Seit der Parlamentswahl im April 2006 steht er beson- ders im Mittelpunkt der Aufmerksamkeit, da die Regierung Prodi hier nur über eine hauchdünne Mehrheit verfügt. Bei einer symbolträchtigen Abstimmung über die Außenpolitik im Februar 2007 kam diese Mehrheit nicht zu Stande und stürzte die Regierung in die Krise. Dafür ausschlaggebend waren, neben der Abwesenheit zweier kommunistischer Senatoren der Regierungskoalition, auch zwei Senatoren auf Lebenszeit (SaL). Insbesondere der Pate der italienischen Politik, der mehrfache Ministerpräsident Giulio Andreotti sorgte mit einem kurzfristigen Stimmungs- wechsel für Kritik an der Rolle der Senatoren auf Lebenszeit als Zünglein an der Waage3. Diese war zuvor schon im Dezember 2006 laut geworden, da der Haushalt der Regierung nur Dank der massiven Unterstützung der Senatoren auf Lebenszeit verabschiedet werden konnte, was Oppositionspolitiker wie der Vorsitzende der Oppositionspartei »Alleanza Nazionale«, Gianfranco Fini als undemokratisch kri- tisierten4. 1 Für ihre Hinweise danke ich Ralf Kleinfeld, Anna Lena Etzbach und David Grewe. 2 Jörg Seisselberg, »Der italienische Senat: Machtvoller Zwillingsbruder der Abgeordne- tenkammer«, in: Gisela Riescher / Sabine Ruß / Christoph Haas (Hg.), Zweite Kam- mern, München 2000, S.

  • El MSI Y El Lugar Del Fascismo En La Cultura Política Italiana = the Msi and the Role of Fascism in Italian Political Culture
    El msi y El luGar DEl Fascismo En la cultura Política italiana The msi and the role of fascism in Italian political culture Ferran GallEGo Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona Fecha de recepción: 17 de febrero; revisión: 17 de mayo; aceptación definitiva: 23 de octubre rEsumEn: En este trabajo se analiza el papel del movimiento social italiano en la política del país transalpino del siglo xx. la clave de su influencia estaría en las peculiaridades del régimen político surgido de las ruinas del fascismo. con la proclamación de la república muchos fascistas se enrolaron en las filas de la Democracia cristiana y otros partidos de la derecha, dejando al msi como único heredero del fascismo. Eso no le impidió colaborar con la Democracia cristiana a través de la estrategia del «inserimento». cuando la Democracia cristiana empezó su aproximación al Partido socialista italiano, el msi se vio claramente excluido y situado en una posición relativamente marginal. su resurgimiento estará relacio- nado con los cambios radicales ocurridos en la política italiana en las décadas de los sesenta y setenta que propiciaran la llegada al liderazgo de Giorgio almirante en 1969. El msi se presentará como un partido restaurador del orden y dispuesto a combatir por sí mismo la subversión. Durante los años 80 el msi se moverá entre la estrategia del Partido-Protesta de almirante y la idea de un partido de la sociedad civil defendido por rauti. al final, el msi, tras el cambio de liderazgo de almirante por Gianfranco Fini, inició un nuevo camino donde se afirmaba la lealtad a los valores del fascismo, corroborado por la crisis del comunismo.

  • Emanuele Ottolenghi
    Emanuele Ottolenghi Senior Fellow, Foundation for Defense of Democracies A unique combination of analytical skills, scholarship and grasp of international crises, make Emanuele Ottolenghi a valued member of FDD's staff. Dr. Ottolenghi is a leader for his work on Iran. He has advised several foreign ministries in Europe, and testified before the Canadian and European parliaments. Dr. Ottolenghi's extensive research exposed the connections between Iran's energy companies and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the paramilitary organization responsible for the regime's political repression and international terrorism activities. Dr. Ottolenghi believes Western countries should redouble their efforts and ensure that Iran's procurement networks and IRGC companies, at home and abroad, are named, shamed, and banished from the polite company of the corporate world. He also believes that Western toughness against Iran's human rights abuses would spur progress in the nuclear standoff. Dr. Ottolenghi addressed these matters in his 2010 book, Iran: The Looming Crisis - Can the West Live with Iran's Nuclear Threat? It updates his 2009 work, Under a Mushroom Cloud: Europe, Iran and the Bomb, and includes an analysis of President Obama's overtures to Iran, the disputed re-election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the latest developments in Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, the diplomatic stalemate and domestic protests against the clerical regime. The former chief of the United Kingdom's Defence Staff, General Lord Charles Guthrie, praised Under a Mushroom Cloudas "an important contribution to the debate about Europe's approach to Iran." His most recent book, The Pasdaran: Inside Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, released in September 2011.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs J_ HE YEAR 1986 WAS marked by sharply contrasting trends in political and economic affairs. Notable improvement took place in labor-industrial relations, with the total of working days lost through strikes the lowest in over 20 years. By contrast, the total of 3.2 million unemployed—about 11 percent of the working population—represented only a slight decline over the previous year. Politically, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government made a remarkable late-year recovery, following some early disasters. The year began with two cabinet resignations, first that of Defense Secretary Michael Heseltine, soon after that of Secretary of Trade and Industry Leon Brittan. The two ministers had clashed over conflicting plans for saving the ailing Westland helicopter company. Following this controversy, the government retreated, in the face of opposition on patriotic grounds, on plans to sell Leyland Trucks to the General Motors Corpora- tion and Leyland Cars to the Ford Motor Company. Another threat to the govern- ment was the drop in the price of North Sea oil from $20 a barrel in January to $10 in the summer, although it recovered to $15 by the end of the year. Early in the year, public-opinion polls showed the Conservatives having 33 per- cent support, compared to Labor's 38 percent, and the Social Democratic/Liberal Alliance's 28 percent. By the end of the year the respective percentages were 41, 39, and 18. Although several Tory victories in local elections in September and October appeared to signal an upward trend, the recovery was perhaps due less to the Conservative party's achievements than to opposition to the defense policies of Labor and the Social Democratic/Liberal Alliance.

    Israeli-German Relations in the Years 2000-2006: A Special Relationship Revisited Helene Bartos St. Antony’s College Trinity Term 2007 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Modern Middle Eastern Studies Faculty of Oriental Studies University of Oxford To my mother and Joe Acknowledgements I would like to use the opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi, who generously agreed to oversee my thesis from afar having taken up his post as the Executive Director of the Transatlantic Institute in Brussels in September 2006. Without his full-hearted support and his enduring commitment my research would not have materialised. I am further deeply indebted to Dr. Michael Willis who dedicated his precious time to discuss with me issues pertaining to my research. Special thanks also goes to Dr. Philip Robins, Senior Tutor at St. Antony’s College, for having supported my field work in Germany in the summer vacation of 2006 with a grant from the Carr and Stahl Funds, and to the Hebrew and Jewish Studies Committee and Near and Middle Eastern Studies Committee for having awarded me two research grants to finance my field work in Israel in the winter of 2006. Without listing everyone personally, I would like to thank all my interview partners as well as colleagues and friends who shared with me their thoughts on the nature of the Israeli-German relationship. Having said all this, it is only due to my mother and my boyfriend Joe who have supported me throughout six not always easy years that I have been able to study at Oxford.

    Political satire in Italy: a successful television genre Rossend Domènech . Political satire is present in every Italian media, There's a lot of political satire on Italian television: two daily specially on television. The author examine in this programmes on national channels and four weekly article the most outstanding satirical scheduled programmes, not to mention the doses of satire dotted programmes and analyses its evolution. He ends throughout many programmes that are not specifically claiming that politics has been transferred to the satirical. During the last season (2006), there were five television stage, instead of any Parliament, and it has exclusive daily programmes and, in previous seasons, from also assumed the television laguage, even satire. 1994 to 2006, half a dozen appeared and disappeared. Since spring 2007, and in addition to these programmes, broadcasters have started to show new comedy and satire programmes in general that sometimes include political sketches.

But, where the genre tempo che fa, Crozza Italia. is most abundant is on the Internet, principally since Silvio Berlusconi entered politics (1994), when satire on the ruling classes was more difficult to carry out by means of traditio- nal public and private instruments. This was due to relent- less censorship of this category. We can therefore say that satire has become fashionable.
