He comes to our village every year from his home in Cheltenham, sometimes several times, and has taken to here- abouts like a bird to the sky. He owns a parcel of the New Cactus Hilton, on which the event will take place. He has threatened to take his land away if anyone up- sets him. Last year he went to the sound-check and broke several drum-kits-not belonging to him of course- just to show us he can hit drums as hard as anyone else. And he has persuaded the other members of his long- suffering band- he must have got them drunk- to come and join the party. The Outboys have been spon- sored for their appearance this year by DAYLONG, an interna- tional company headed by fel- low-Agiot Paul Grove. Thank you very much for your contin- ued support of our event.

Greece, over the years, has seen many changes in its Civil Protection legislation, each of them being triggered in different time periods and for different reasons. It is important to compare these changes with the previous Laws that were implemented, to check the responsiveness to emerging needs, as well as to focus on points that are important to be clearly outlined or are maybe in need of revision. The reasons that trigger a change in the regulatory framework can vary and are usually a result of the political situation of the country, the scientific and technological advancements, the responses of country mechanisms as well as the consequences of large scale disasters, the green policies initiatives and the European Guidelines.

  • Viewpoint: Dennis Smith on the Current Crisis in The
    ISSUE 32 SPRING 2012 EDITOR’S MESSAGE As last year’s ESA conference declared, Europe and sociological research are both in the midst of turbulent times. The single European currency and many states are struggling to cope with the fallout of an ongoing global economic crisis. At the same time, researchers across Europe find them- selves under greater pressure due to reforms of their higher education systems and an increased market orientation of national and European funding bodies. In short, changes are rapidly taking place that possess long lasting implications for Europe’s sociological community and European societies. In this issue, change and its accompanying chal- lenges are a central theme: the President’s Message by Pekka Sulkunen and Dennis Smith’s Viewpoint both take up changes currently taking place and the challenges that we all now face; news from ESA’s Research Networks tells us of the establishment of a new Research Network, RN15 Global, Transnational and Cosmopolitan Sociology; and an extended interview article – Meet ESA’s New Executive Committee – introduces those elected to serve on the association’s Ex- Photo Lefteris Pitarakis ecutive Committee during this current term (2011-2013). Ad- ditionally, there are two articles that evaluate the respective successes and challenges of the Pre-conference Doctoral Workshop and the 10th ESA Conference that were both held FEATURE ARTICLE in September 2011. Viewpoint: This theme also extends beyond the content of this issue. Longtime readers may notice that European Sociologist has Dennis Smith on the a new look. Indeed, a new editorial team has supervised this redesign.
