48.Jeffrey Haynes.Pdf Religion and Politics in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa In the early twenty- first century, it is now clear that religion is increasingly influ- ential in the political realm in ways which call into question the principles and practices of secularism. The Iranian revolution of 1978–9 marked the decisive ‘reappearance’ of political religion in global politics, highlighting a major devel- opment which is the subject of this edited volume. Addressing a highly salient and timely topic, this book examines the con- sequences of political interactions involving the state and religious actors in Christian, Muslim and Judaist contexts. Building on research, the basic premise of this text is that religious actors – including Islamist groups, the Roman Cath- olic and the Orthodox churches – pose various challenges for citizenship, demo- cracy and secularisation in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The key questions on which the book focuses are: Why, how, and when do reli- gious actors seek to influence political outcomes in these regions? Providing a survey of what is happening in relation to the interaction of reli- gion and politics, both domestically and internationally, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, religion, European and Middle East studies.

The scale of the response was humbling and posed an editorial dilemma, namely whether the pamphlet should be limited to a small number of indicative perspectives, perhaps favouring more established voices, or whether it should capture the full range of viewpoints. As two of the founding principles and core aims of the GPSG are to act as a forum for the free exchange of ideas and also to give voice to younger and emerging scholars, it was decided that all contributions that met our editorial standards of factual accuracy and timely

  • Marxism and Bourgeois Democracy. Reflections on a Debate After the Second World War in Italy
    53 WSCHODNI ROCZNIK HUMANISTYCZNY TOM XVI (2019), No 1 s. 53-65 doi: 10.36121/dstasi.16.2019.1.053 Daniele Stasi (University of Rzeszów, University of Foggia) ORCID 0000-0002-4730-5958 Marxism and bourgeois democracy. Reflections on a debate after the Second World War in Italy Annotation: In this paper is illustrated a debate about the form of State and democracy be- tween N.Bobbio, some Italian Marxist philosophers and intellectuals. The debate took place in 1970s, that is in a period of intense philosophical confrontation, hosted by cultural reviews like „Mondoperaio” and marked by a strong ideological opposition linked to the world bipo- lar system. The paper presents the general lines of that debate, which highlighted the inad- equacies of the Marxist doctrine of State, consistently determining the end of any hegemonic ambitions in the Italian culture of those intellectuals linked to international communism. Keywords: Marxism, democracy, State, Italian philosophy, hegemony, Norberto Bobbio. Marksizm i burżuazyjna demokracja. Refleksje na temat debaty po drugiej wojnie świa- towej we Włoszech Streszczenie: W artykule przedstawiono debatę o kształcie państwa i demokracji, która toczyła się pomiędzy N. Bobbio i niektórymi marksistowskimi filozofami włoskimi w la- tach siedemdziesiątych XX wieku. Okres ten cechuje intensywna konfrontacja filozoficznа we Włoszech związana z sytuacją polityczną na świecie. Debata miała miejsce na łamach czasopisma „Mondoperaio”. W artykule zostały zilustrowane podstawowe tezy owej deba- ty, które podkreślają niedostatki marksistowskiej doktryny o państwie, konsekwentnie wy- znaczając koniec wszelkich hegemonicznych ambicji włoskich intelektualistów związanych z międzynarodowym komunizmem. Słowa kluczowe: marksizm, demokracja, państwo, filozofia włoska, hegemonia, Norberto Bobbio. Марксизм и буржуазная демократия.

  • Originalism and the Ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment
    Copyright 2013 by Northwestern University School of Law Printed in U.S.A. Northwestern University Law Review Vol. 107, No. 4 ORIGINALISM AND THE RATIFICATION OF THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT Thomas B. Colby ABSTRACT—Originalists have traditionally based the normative case for originalism primarily on principles of popular sovereignty: the Constitution owes its legitimacy as higher law to the fact that it was ratified by the American people through a supermajoritarian process. As such, it must be interpreted according to the original meaning that it had at the time of ratification. To give it another meaning today is to allow judges to enforce a legal rule that was never actually embraced and enacted by the people. Whatever the merits of this argument in general, it faces particular hurdles when applied to the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment was a purely partisan measure, drafted and enacted entirely by Republicans in a rump Reconstruction Congress in which the Southern states were denied representation; it would never have made it through Congress had all of the elected Senators and Representatives been permitted to vote. And it was ratified not by the collective assent of the American people, but rather at gunpoint. The Southern states had been placed under military rule, and were forced to ratify the Amendment—which they despised—as a condition of ending military occupation and rejoining the Union. The Amendment can therefore claim no warrant to democratic legitimacy through original popular sovereignty. It was added to the Constitution despite its open failure to obtain the support of the necessary supermajority of the American people.

  • State, Democracy, Socialism
    chapter 6 State, Democracy, Socialism The ‘third way’ to socialism was complementary to the Austromarxists’ reflec- tions on the state and the direction that Social-Democratic politics aspired to take within the bourgeois-democratic framework. The idiosyncratic quality of these analyses was that they understood the state, law, and forms of political order (democracy, dictatorship) as mutually independent forms: they distin- guished between a formal and a sociological order – i.e. they abstracted the form of phenomena from their content and social function. The views of Hans Kelsen, a moderate liberal theorist on law and the state and founder of the ‘pure theory of law’, provided the basis for this differentiation.1 Three fundamental theses of legal normativism were most influential in the Austromarxists’ the- ory of state formation. The first was of a purely formal character of political and legal categories, which granted them the status of a priori ideas. The second served to justify the dualism between being and ought, form and content, facts and values, causality and normativity, and, ultimately, law and politics. The third was the assumption that the state was synonymous with the law, and as such the territorial order was identical to the coercive order. Owing to the fact that they drew on Kelsen’s ‘pure theory of law’, the Austromarxists developed perspectives on democracy and the state which are still discussed today.2 The Austromarxian theory of law and the state was devised mainly by Karl Renner and Max Adler. Renner in particular focused on the formal aspects of the categories under investigation, while Adler researched both normative and sociological functions.

Statement of use of third party for editorial help (if applicable) I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Hilary Wright 2 Abstract The recognition of rights to couples outside the institution of marriage has been, and still is, a contentious issue in Italian Politics. Normative notions of family and kinship perpetuate the exclusion of those who do not conform to the heterosexual norm. At the same time the increased visibility of kinship arrangements that evade the heterosexual script and their claims for legal recognition, expose the fragility and the constructedness of heteronorms. During the Prodi II Government (2006-2008) the possibility of a law recognising legal status to de facto unions stirred a major controversy in which the conservative political forces and the Catholic hierarchies opposed any form of recognition, with particular acrimony shown toward same sex couples.

  • Italy's Recipe for Coming out of Debt Crisis: Reform Packages
    http://rwe.sciedupress.com Research in World Economy Vol. 6, No. 4; 2015 Italy’s Recipe for Coming out of Debt Crisis: Reform Packages Prof. Dr Serap Durusoy1 & Zeynep Beyhan1 1 Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, University of Abant İzzet Baysal, Bolu, Turkey Correspondence: PHD Zeynep Beyhan, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Abant Izzet Baysal University, Golkoy Campus, Bolu 14280,Turkey. Received: November 19, 2015 Accepted: December 15, 2015 Online Published: December 20, 2015 doi:10.5430/rwe.v6n4p104 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/rwe.v6n4p104 Abstract The crisis that came about in Greece in the year 2009 took the European markets under control in a short time and turned into Euro Debt Crisis. Among the economies that are swept into recession by the crisis, Italy is the leading economy. Political depression combined with the shrinkage recorded in its economy dragged the country into chaos. In the fast spreading of the crisis in question, problems created especially by Italy’s own inner dynamics are regarded as to have impact. In that context, following the resignation of Berlusconi in the year 2011, Mario Monti, Enrico Letta and lastly Matteo Renzi Government that has been in the office since the year 2014, has emphasized the necessity of permanent and radical reforms and taken steps towards this direction. Here in this study, it was studied how effective the reform packages consulted by the three governments that have been changing since the year 2011 in solving the structural problems of Italy and saving it from the debt crisis. In addition, the sufficiency of the reform packages that were put into practice were analyzed and alternative solution offers concerning what should be done were proposed.
