Context The European Particle Physics Communication Network, EPPCN, established as part of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, meets twice a year and reports to the European Strategy Session of Council at its September meeting. Previous reports to Council have covered the establishment of the network and given reports on the network’s activities. This report covers matters arising from last year’s paper (CERN-Council-S/050), reports on activity, proposes an approach to multi-lingual communication from CERN, and discusses greater coordination with both ApPEC and the European Particle Physics Outreach Group (EPPOG). 2. Matters arising from last year’s paper Following the recommendation made by Council in September 2009, the AstroParticle ERA network, ASPERA, was invited to join EPPCN. Among its activities, ASPERA provides communication and outreach for ApPEC. Council had further recommended that the three Observers, Israel, Russia and Turkey that take part in the strategy session should be involved in EPPCN. Nominations for members for these States have not yet been received, and their seats remain vacant. 3. Activity report Communication of the start-up of the LHC on 10 September 2008 was designed to establish CERN and the LHC as globally recognized brands.

  • Codebook for Discursive Actor Attribution Analysis 1|2|3
    Codebook for Discursive Actor Attribution Analysis 1|2|3 2014 – 2015, Version 11.0 Jochen Roose, Maria Kousis, Moritz Sommer, Franziska Scholl, Kostas Kanellopoulos, Marina Papadaki Freie Universität Berlin, University of Crete, University of Wroclaw 1 This codebook profits from codebooks of former projects. Primarily it is based on two sources: a) the codebook of the project “the public attribution of responsibility in EU politics” by Jürgen Gerhards, Jochen Roose, and Anke Offerhaus (see also Gerhards/Offerhaus/Roose 2007) in its translation by Katrin A. Hasler and Anna Christmann for the project “Responsibility Attributions in Multilevel Policy News” and b) the codebook of the EURISLAM project by Marco Giugni and collaborators which is in itself based on the codebook for political claims making analysis in the MERCI project by Ruud Koopmans and Paul Statham (see also Koopmans/Statham 1999). In the codebook we refrain from explicitly marking each passage which is taken from one of these sources. The authors are very thankful for this support. 2 For the coding process, the variables listed in this codebook were integrated into a coding interface. For the programming of the interface angrist.ggcrisi, we want to thank Martin Wettstein from the University of Zurich for his great support! Due to some technical issues such as the integration of filter variables, the order of variables in the tool and that one in this codebook slightly vary. 3 This codebook is primarily designed for the initial sampling period of the project from 2009 – 2013. Thanks to a further extension of the project, this sampling period was later extended to 2016.

  • La Crise Macédonienne (1991-1995) Et La Question Des Slavophones En Grèce1
    Balkanologie VII [1], juin 2003. p. 147-158\ 147 LA CRISE MACÉDONIENNE (1991-1995) ET LA QUESTION DES SLAVOPHONES EN GRÈCE1 Athéna Skoulariki* Dans les années 1990, la vieille question macédonienne a déclenché une crise diplomatique avec des résultats consternants tant pour la situation éco­ nomique et la cohésion sociale en République de Macédoine que pour la qua­ lité de la démocratie en Grèce. Au cœur du litige résidait une question de dénomination. L'État grec re­ fusa formellement la reconnaissance internationale de l'Ancienne République Yougoslave de Macédoine sous son appellation constitutionnelle. La diploma­ tie grecque redoutait la monopolisation par le jeune État limitrophe du nom et du patrimoine historiques macédoniens. Par une mobilisation impression­ nante, le public grec revendiqua même l'association exclusive de la Macédoine et de son histoire millénaire à la Grèce. La presse française parlait alors d'un conflit politico-sémantique. Or les objections grecques n'étaient pas d'ordre symbolique, comme l'insistance sur l'antiquité pouvait le laisser entendre. Derrière la rhétorique sur l'usurpation du patrimoine hellénique couvaient des inquiétudes envers l'irrédentisme macédonien et la revendication d'une minorité nationale en Grèce du nord. L'objet de cet article sera d'examiner les deux dimensions du problème : d'une part, l'importance de la question minoritaire dans le contentieux diplo­ matique entre la Grèce et la République de Macédoine au début des années 1990, et, d'autre part, la réaction des slavophones grecs déchirés entre deux discours nationaux mutuellement exclusifs. 1 Une première version de cet article a été présentée aux Premières rencontres des études balkaniques en France, organisées par l'Association Française des Études sur les Balkans (AFEBalk) à Paris le 19 et 20 dé­ cembre 2002.

  • Street Politics in the Age of Austerity: from the Indignados to Occupy Offers an Authoritative Analysis That Could Not Be More Timely
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS 8 PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Ancelovici, Dufour (eds) & Nez The past few years have seen an unexpected resurgence of street-level protest movements around the world, from the rise of anti-austerity protests in Spain, Greece, and Israel to the global spread of the Occupy movement. This collection is designed to offer a comparative analysis of these movements, setting them in international, socio-economic, and cross-cultural perspective in order to help us understand why movements emerge, what they do, how they spread, and how they fit into both local and worldwide historical contexts. As the most significant wave of mass protests in decades continues apace, Street Politics in the Age of Austerity: From the Indignados to Occupy offers an authoritative analysis that could not be more timely. Marcos Ancelovici is Canada Research Chair in the Sociology of Social Conflicts and Associate Professor of Sociology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). He is also a member of the Montreal Austerity of Age the in Politics Street Interdisciplinary Research Collective on Contention (CRIC). He works on social movements and the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, and is currently Edited by Marcos Ancelovici, Pascale Dufour and Héloïse Nez studying anti-austerity protests. Pascale Dufour is Full Professor of Political Science at Université de Street Politics in the Montréal and Director of the Research Center on Politics and Social Development. She is also a member of the Montreal Interdisciplinary Research Collective on Contention (CRIC). She works on social movements Age of Austerity and collective action in comparative perspective.

  • The Impact of the Greek Crisis On
    Voters, protest and policies: Bridging public opinion, social movements outcomes and policy responsiveness research Leicester, 16-17 June 2014 Panel: The outcomes of regime/system-challenging movements “Protest, elections and austerity politics in Greece” by Maria Kousis Kostas Kanellopoulos Professor Senior Researcher Department of Sociology University of Crete Research Fund University of Crete University of Crete [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the impact of the (euro) crisis on the political system in Greece through a relational approach. Economic contention, democracy and economic voting have been accompanied by rapid distrust in national and European political institutions by Greek citizens. Aiming to understand and illustrate how repertoires of contention and the financial crisis regime have been shaping each other, the paper offers new findings based on protest event analysis of the large contentious events against Memoranda and austerity policies by Troika (European Commission, ECB, IMF) and the Greek state. The sources used to code information on economic and political claims are major, national as well as international newspapers and alternative electronic media. Following Kriesi’s (2011) conceptualization of economic voting in West European (WE) and Central & East European (CEE) countries vis-à-vis the economic crisis, the findings show that Greece stands somewhere in between: both centre-right and centre-left governments imposing austerity in the 2008-2012 period faced a severe electoral punishment like in most WE cases. However, unlike in WE, the political system in Greece changed radically. New political parties, especially of the far right, appeared and had an immediate success in the ballots like in many CEE cases.

  • Greek and Turkish Economic and Social History, and Labour History
    INTRODUCTION AND HISTORIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY Greek and Turkish Economic and Social History, and Labour History Leda Papastefanaki and M. Erdem Kabadayı With this edited volume we are pursuing the challenging task of con- necting the labour histories and historiographies of Greece and Turkey. Our methodological point of departure is largely furnished by the con- ceptual framework of global labour history, which stresses the need for transnational/transcontinental and diachronic comparisons. Until the 1970s, labour historians typically locked themselves into the frame- works of individual nation-states.1 In contrast, we seek to connect labour history studies on both shores of the Aegean within the field of global labour history. In attempting to write a comparative labour history not only of the history of contact between two polities but also of their shared history, we follow the recent twofold critique and suggestion of Marcel van der Linden, which targets Eurocentrism and methodological nationalism.2 The seed of this volume was planted in Istanbul in November 2011, at the close of a conference entitled ‘Working in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey: Ottoman and Turkish Labour History within a Global Perspective’.3 We built upon the ideas and concepts presented there with the double aim, from the one side, to compare, contrast and position the findings and applied methodologies of Ottoman labour history with and within global labour historiography; and from the other side, to bring the labour histories conducted within some of the successor states of the Ottoman Empire into contact. We hope that we can thus contribute to the internationalization of Greek, Ottoman and Turkish labour history.

Fertile debates: a comparative account of low fertility in the British and Greek national press. Katerina Georgiadis ESRC Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Department of Social Policy London School of Economics Telephone: +44 20 7955 7658 [email protected] Keywords: fertility; Greece; United Kingdom; media; newspaper; anthropology This article compares how the British and Greek national press debated the phenomenon of low fertility between 2001 and 2009. Specifically, it presents an overview of each set of newspapers‟ perspectives on the issue, and the most prevalent causes, consequences and solutions with which they associated it. Differences between the print media‟s representations are not only attributed to the distinct „policy climate‟ and „demographic experience‟ of each country but also to culturally-specific ideologies concerning the nation, gender, motherhood and personhood.
