  • Romanian Political Science Review Vol. XXI, No. 1 2021
    Romanian Political Science Review vol. XXI, no. 1 2021 The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the “great transformation” that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures.

  • Allied Relations and Negotiations with Spain A
    Allied Relations and Negotiations With Spain A. From Spanish "Non-Belligerency" to Spanish Neutrality1 Shortly after the outbreak of the War in September 1939, Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco released an official decree of neutrality in the conflict, despite his open ideological affinity with the Axis leaders who had provided him with critical support in the Spanish Civil War. Nevertheless, he hovered on the brink of intervention on the side of the Axis through much of 1940 and 1941, and even contributed a force of Spanish volunteers estimated to be as many as 40,000, known as the Blue Division, which served as the German 250th Division on the Russian Front from mid-1941 until October 1943. The possibility of Spanish belligerency was premised on an early German victory over Britain and on German agreement to Spanish territorial expansion in Africa into French Morocco and perhaps even in Europe at the expense its neighbors, Vichy France and neutral Portugal. The United States and Britain joined in a continuing effort to keep Franco's Spain out of the War by providing essential exports like gasoline and grain to prop up the Spanish economy, which had been in a state of collapse since the end of the Spanish Civil War. The close ideological and political ties between the Franco dictatorship and those of Germany and Italy were never misapprehended by the United States and Britain. After 1941 Spain drifted gradually from imminent belligerency toward a demonstratively pro-Axis neutrality. Spain cooperated with the Allies in humanitarian efforts, allowing safe passage through Spain of downed Allied fliers, escaped Allied prisoners, and civilian refugees, including Jews.2 The nature of Spain's neutrality in World War II turned in significant measure on Allied and Spanish perceptions of the danger of German invasion.

I also want to thank everyone who made it possible for me to get to this point and all those who assisted me in collecting the data used in this dissertation. And for DFID for granting me physical access to their archive for consultation. This dissertation would not have been possible without the financial support from Royal Holloway, University of London, which supported me with a maintenance scholarship. I am most grateful for this support. Christopher Napier has read and commented on all parts of this dissertation for which I am extremely grateful. Signed: Nicolae Ionut Bertalan Date: 08-02-2019 3 ABSTRACT The general purpose of this research is to identify, explain and theorise into how the transition to Western financial reporting happened after 1989 in former communist countries based on the case study of Romania.

  • Caudillo Leadership
    TOWARD A MORE HOLISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF CAUDILLO LEADERSHIP Taylor A. Landrie This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Research Honors Program in the Department of Leadership Marietta College Marietta, Ohio April 28, 2013 Toward a More Holistic Understanding of Caudillo Leadership!Landrie 2 Toward a More Holistic Understanding of Caudillo Leadership!Landrie 3 Introduction Thesis Statement The term caudillo is used to describe Latin American leaders with military back- grounds who are charismatic and authoritarian. However, the concept of caudillo lead- ership involves more than a leader with certain traits. Caudillo leadership, as a phe- nomenon, is holistic and occurs only when specific criteria are met by the leader, follow- ers, and the cultural values and norms that shape the environment in which the leader and followers interact. Overview Historians and political scientists have noted the frequency of military dictators in Latin America since the revolutions that liberated much of the continent in the early 1800s. The “Caudillo” is an authoritarian leader with a background in the military who attracts a following through his or her charismatic personality. Frank Tannenbaum de- scribes the caudillo as, “the leader…who governs because he can, not because he was elected” and applies this definition to both democratically elected caudillo leaders and leaders who came to power during a coup d"état or through other forceful means (Tan- nenbaum 497). One assumes a caudillo acts to promote his or her self-interest and holds a position of power through force, both in cases of traditional, dictatorial caudillos and modern, elected caudillos.

  • American Caudillo: the Rise of Strongmen Politics in the United States and Latin America
    American Caudillo: The Rise of Strongmen Politics in the United States and Latin America Dinorah Azpuru, PhD, Wichita State University Mary Fran T. Malone, PhD, University of New Hampshire Orlando J. Pérez, PhD, Millersville University Abstract Why do citizens vote for leaders who disregard democratic norms? The 2016 U.S. election has propelled this question to the forefront of political discussions not just in academic circles, but among journalists and practitioners as well. To answer this question, we examine support for populist “strongmen” in the United States and the ALBA countries of Latin America. Relying upon the Latin American Public Opinion Project's (LAPOP) AmericasBarometer and the American National Election Study (ANES), we identify similar survey questions to predict votes for caudillos in very different national contexts. To understand why voters support strongmen and their authoritarian values, we analyze the impact of perception of threat, authoritarian values, alienation from the political system, nationalism, populism, and intolerance. When we compare the results across our ALBA and U.S. models, we find two variables tend to explain support for strongmen: support for a strong leader who will bend the rules/limit the voice of the opposition and ideology. Paper prepared for delivery at the 2017 conference of the Latin American Political Science Association, ALACIP, Montevideo, Uruguay. 1 American Caudillo: The Rise of Strongmen Politics in the United States and Latin America The 2016 American presidential elections were historic. These elections marked the first time a major political party nominated a woman as well as the rise of an outsider, real estate magnate and TV reality show host Donald J.

    ITALIAN NAVY: THE TRAINING SHIP AMERIGO VESPUCCI WILL VISIT NEW YORK FROM 26th TO 31th JULY New York is the 8th port of call of the Training Campaign 2017 for the Italian Navy Training Ship Amerigo Vespucci Follow the #MarinaMilitare live on Twitter: @ItalianNavy #ProfessionistiDelMare #ilFuturoèilMare From the 26th to the 31st July 2017, the Italian Navy Training Ship Amerigo Vespucci will be in New York in the United States, the eighth port of call of the Training Campaign 2017. The Training Campaign on board the Amerigo Vespucci represents a key element in the cadet professional development, passing on the Italian Navy’s core values of love for the sea, ethics, loyalty and honor. On the 19th of April the ‘most beautiful ship in the world’ set sail from the Italian Naval Base in La Spezia, to start the Training Campaign 2017 and visited so far two ports in Portugal (Sines and Funchal), then, after 20 days of navigation across the Atlantic ocean, Hamilton, in the Bermuda islands, and three ports of call in Canada: Halifax, Montreal and Quebec City. New York is the second port of call in the U.S.A., after Boston. During a port visit in Montreal (Canada) the 79 on-term volunteers (VFP4) of the 24th Course which had been on board since the unmooring from La Spezia, were replaced by the 125 Italian Naval Academy of Livorno (including 18 foreign cadets). Navy cadets learn the basics of seamanship, they put into practice what has been studied so far in the books by getting familiar with the marine equipment, climbing up the masts, and using the sextant to calculate the position of the ship with the stars.
