  • Pirates of the Australian Election Matthew Rimmer, Australian National University College of Law
    Queensland University of Technology From the SelectedWorks of Matthew Rimmer March 26, 2013 Pirates of the Australian Election Matthew Rimmer, Australian National University College of Law Available at: https://works.bepress.com/matthew_rimmer/151/ Pirates of the Australian Election The Global Mail Dr Matthew Rimmer “Pirate parties” have proliferated across Europe and North America in the past decade, championing issues such as intellectual property (IP), freedom of speech, and the protection of privacy and anonymity. This year, the movement hit Australian shores: The Pirate Party Australia was officially registered by the Australian Electoral Commission in January 2013. (You can read its principles and platform here.) “More than ever before, there is a necessity in Australia for a party that holds empowerment, participation, free culture and openness as its central tenets”, Pirate Party founder Rodney Serkowski said in a press release announcing the group’s successful registration. Their first test will be this year’s federal election, scheduled for September 14, in which the fledgling party will contest Senate seats in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. There has been much political discussion as to how Pirate Party Australia will fare in September’s poll. The Swedish Piratpartiet has two members in the European Parliament. The German Pirate Party has won seats in regional and municipal elections. The Czech Pirate Party had a member elected to the national parliament. But pirate parties contesting elections in the United Kingdom and North American have failed to make an electoral impact. Will Pirate Party Australia emulate the success of its European counterparts? Or will the Pirate Party Australia struggle to gain attention and votes as a micro-party in a crowded field? They might find that the times suit them: this year’s election is shaping up as a battle royal over IP.

Cabinet composition of Juncker-Asseblorn II (or Juncker IV) For the composition of Juncker-Asseblorn II (or Juncker IV) on 1 January 2012, see Dumont et al. (2010: 1078–1079). Changes during 2012: Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade/Ministre de l’Économie et du Commerce extérieur: Jeannot Krecké (1950 male, LSAP) resigned and replaced by Etienne Schneider (1971 male, LSAP) on 1st February 2012. Institutional changes A number of decisions voted on by the Chamber of Deputies in 2011 became effective in 2012: first, as part of a long-term plan of reduction in the number of municipalities, sixteen of them merged into six new entities as of 1 January (Dumont et al. 2010; 2012: 202-205).. Second, as decided by a vote in December 2011, a new ombudsman (“mediateure”) was appointed. On 1 February, Lydie Err, former Socialist MP (and junior minister in 1998–9) took over from Marc Fischbach, who had been a Christian-democratic MEP, government minister in the 1990s, and a judge at the European Court of Human Rights, before being chosen as Luxembourg’s first ombudsman by parliamentary vote in December 2003. Err’s mandate is to last until 2020. Also on 1 February the socialist Etienne Schneider took office, as scheduled by an internal Socialist Worker’s Party (LSAP) vote in November 2011 (Dumont et al. 2012: 201), replacing Jeannot Krecké as Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade. The latter had made his frustration about his role in the government known to the public as early as 2010, arguing that the Economy portfolio was a coordination ministry deprived of the instruments that would enable its holder to initiate and implement reforms.

  • Challenger Party List
    Appendix List of Challenger Parties Operationalization of Challenger Parties A party is considered a challenger party if in any given year it has not been a member of a central government after 1930. A party is considered a dominant party if in any given year it has been part of a central government after 1930. Only parties with ministers in cabinet are considered to be members of a central government. A party ceases to be a challenger party once it enters central government (in the election immediately preceding entry into office, it is classified as a challenger party). Participation in a national war/crisis cabinets and national unity governments (e.g., Communists in France’s provisional government) does not in itself qualify a party as a dominant party. A dominant party will continue to be considered a dominant party after merging with a challenger party, but a party will be considered a challenger party if it splits from a dominant party. Using this definition, the following parties were challenger parties in Western Europe in the period under investigation (1950–2017). The parties that became dominant parties during the period are indicated with an asterisk.

  • Exploring Female Athletes' Body Perceptions
    SQUEEZING IN: EXPLORING FEMALE ATHLETES’ BODY PERCEPTIONS Mallory E. Mann A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2015 Committee: Vikki Krane, Advisor Dafina-Lazarus Stewart Graduate Faculty Representative Nancy Spencer Dryw Dworsky ii ABSTRACT Vikki Krane, Advisor Much attention has been paid to female college athlete body image over the last three decades. However, relatively few inquiries employed a holistic approach that examined the myriad of interrelated sociocultural and personal factors influencing athletes’ body perceptions. The primary purpose of the current study was to explore female college athletes’ body image in both social and sport settings. A secondary purpose was to investigate the sociocultural context and how it influenced athletes’ body perceptions. Finally, this study sought to understand the ways in which female athletes’ social identities helped explain their body-related behaviors. Feminist and intersectional methodological approaches guided this inquiry to create partial, in- depth understandings of how female athletes think about and relate to their physiques. The study is particularly unique in its commitment to representing multiple, diverse stories from athletes without privileging one type of body perception. Using an intersectional methodology contextualized athletes body descriptions to uncover deeper meanings and underlying factors. Twenty female college athletes participated in unstructured interviews. These athletes represented eight different varsity sports at NCAA Division I, II, and III institutions. This study offers a new perspective on the relationship between motivational team climate and female athlete body image. While task-oriented team climates still appear to serve as a protective factor against body disturbances among athletes, findings also indicated that a team’s obsession with the body seemed more closely tied to body image issues than a team’s goal orientation.

Auf den Inhalt kommt es an KANDIDATEN Programm | 10 Debatten | 20 Piratenwelt | 34 Vorwort Herzlich willkommen zur dritten Flaschenpost Print-Ausgabe! Die Piraten sind eine internationale Bewegung. Seit der Gründung der ersten „Piratpartiet“ in Schweden im Jahr 2006 haben sich Piraten in über 60 Ländern rund um Globus zusammengefunden um sich gemeinsam unsere politischen Ziele zu vertreten. Mehr als die Hälfte all dieser Piratenparteien gründete sich in Europa und bilden schon heute eine starke Gemeinschaft. Nun schließen sich diese Parteien sogar unter einer Flagge zusammen, um gemeinsam ins Europäische Parlament einzuziehen. Natürlich brauchte es dafür ein auch gemeinsames Programm, dass die erfolgreichen Piratenabgeordneten dort vertreten können. Bereits in sechzehn Ländern haben die Piraten dieses gemeinsame Programm verabschiedet: Wir werden gemeinsam in ganz Europa für Bürgerbeteiligung, Open Government, Transparenz, Datenschutz, Flüchtlingspolitik, Urheberrecht, Freie Kultur und Freies Wissen und natürlich Netz- politik eintreten. Bis es soweit ist, steht allerdings erstmal der nächste Wahlkampf an; bis zur Europa- wahl am 25. Mai. Das Ziel ist ein gemeinsamer Wahlkampf, ein gemeinsamer Erfolg.

  • The Pirate Party and New Politics in OECD Countries Matt Hastings Political Science Jennifer Fitzgerald
    Politics as Unusual: The Pirate Party and New Politics in OECD Countries Matt Hastings Political Science Jennifer Fitzgerald: Thesis Advisor Committee Members: Andy Baker: Political Science Jennifer Fitzgerald: Political Science David Spires: History University of Colorado, Boulder April 4, 2011 Politics as Unusual: Matt Hastings 1 Abstract: Standard bearer left and right parties, the customary powers for over a century, are under siege from new political movements that range from green and animal rights parties to a resurgent radical right. One piece of this new politics movement is a party that began in Sweden. Focusing on intellectual property rights and technology, specifically the internet, the Pirate Party of Sweden achieved representation in the European Parliament in June of 2009. This success has lead to the emergence of other Pirate Parties across Europe and even Canada. This paper seeks to answer what domestic factors would result in individuals forming and voting for Pirate Parties, a small piece of this new politics movement. Analysis is done using logistic regressions of variables corresponding to four schools of thought. After the data is analyzed, the evidence points to the Pirate Party being the result of electoral structural (the effective number of parties) and the culmination of values change in the 34 OECD countries. Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. Mark Twain, from Life on the Mississippi Politics as Unusual: Matt Hastings 2 I. Introduction: Puzzling Politics There are tremors in the electoral systems of many modern democracies. Outside of Europe, the most recent midterm elections in the United States saw the emergence of the fiscally minded Tea Party carve itself out of the Republican Party, creating a new movement for conservatives to consider in Washington (Barstow 2010).
