Is voting political or cultural? ☆ ⁎ Victor Ginsburgh a, Abdul G.

The dataset makes it possible to analyze the determinants of success, and gives a rare opportunity to run a direct test of vote trading. Though the votes cast may appear as resulting from such trading, we show that they are rather driven by quality of the participants as well as by linguistic and cultural proximities between singers and voting countries. Therefore, and contrary to what was recently suggested, there seems to be no reason to take the result of the Contest as mimicking the political conflicts (and friendships). © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to analyze the determinants of success and voting behavior of judges in one of the most popular singing contest held since 1956 in Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest. The competition is interesting since each country (player) votes for singers (or groups of singers) of all other participating countries.

    This book provides a unique and intriguing insight into current debates concerning the relationship between nation and state Jordan Paul as well as the political management of international image in today’s Europe through an examination of debates on nation branding and the Eurovision Song Contest. Europe is a con- tested construct and its boundaries are subject to redefinition. This work aims to advance critical thinking about contempo- rary nation branding and its relationship to, and influence on, Paul Jordan nation building. In particular it focusses on key identity debates The Modern Tale Fairy that the Eurovision Song Contest engendered in Estonia in the run-up to EU accession. The Eurovision Song Contest is an event which is often dismissed as musically and culturally The Modern Fairy Tale: inferior. However, this work demonstrates that it has the capac- ity to shed light on key identity debates and illuminate wider Nation Branding, National Identity socio-political issues. Using a series of in-depth interviews with and the Eurovision Song Contest political elites, media professionals and opinion leaders, this book is a valuable contribution to the growing field of research in Estonia on nation branding and the Eurovision Song Contest. Paul Jordan obtained his PhD from the University of Glasgow in 2011. His research interests include nation building and nation branding of post-communist states, national identity and nationalist politics.

  • For the Homeland: Transnational Diasporic Nationalism and the Eurovision Song Contest
    FOR THE HOMELAND: TRANSNATIONAL DIASPORIC NATIONALISM AND THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST SLAVIŠA MIJATOVIĆ A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, CANADA December 2014 © Slaviša Mijatović, 2014 Abstract This project examines the extent to which the Eurovision Song Contest can effectively perpetuate discourses of national identity and belonging for diasporic communities. This is done through a detailed performance analysis of former Yugoslav countries’ participations in the contest, along with in-depth interviews with diasporic people from the former Yugoslavia in Malmö, Sweden. The analysis of national symbolism in the performances shows how national representations can be useful for the promotion of the state in a reputational sense, while engaging a short-term sense of national pride and nationalism for the audiences. More importantly, the interviews with the former Yugoslav diaspora affirm Eurovision’s capacity for the long-term promotion of the ‘idea of Europe’ and European diversities as an asset, in spite of the history of conflict within the Yugoslav communities. This makes the contest especially relevant in a time of rising right-wing ideologies based on nationalism, xenophobia and racism. Key words: diaspora, former Yugoslavia, Eurovision Song Contest, music, nationalism, Sweden, transnationalism ii Acknowledgements Any project is fundamentally a piece of team work and my project has been no different. I would like to thank a number of people and organisations for their faith in me and the support they have given me: William Jenkins, my supervisor. For his guidance and support over the past two years, and pushing me to follow my desired research and never settling for less.

  • IHP News 437 : “We Are a World in Pieces”
    IHP news 437 : “We are a world in pieces” (22 September 2017) The weekly International Health Policies (IHP) newsletter is an initiative of the Health Policy unit at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium. Dear Colleagues, For a brief moment, we thought Trump 2.0 had finally arrived, but after his UNGA speech from this week in New York, we realize we might have to dig up some of the irrational numbers of our younger days to label different Trump-versions. In a deeply philosophical speech, Donald was clearly inspired by Guterres’ assessment, ‘We are a world in pieces’. Well. In this intro, we’d like to focus instead on last week’s GBD2016 SDG (health) study, and more in particular on Figure 1 which features for all countries in the world info on (37) health related SDG indicators, as well as an SDG health index. A well-crafted index, no doubt, but perhaps a little complicated - my multivariate/imputing/index constructing days are a while ago now. I can only imagine what it’ll take to also fully incorporate the ‘planetary health paradigm’ in the construction of the index – a milky way of health related indicators, no doubt. Anyway, in an era of fake news, never-ending ideological framing but also relentless benchmarking, we see quite some potential in this table, even if the methodological hocus pocus behind the index is beyond you. This table is pure gold if you want to boost interest for global health at the annual UNGA meeting in New York, and among global citizens.

  • Wild Dances and Dying Wolves: Simulation, Essentialization, and National Identity at the Eurovision Song Contest
    Wild dances and dying wolves: simulation, essentialization, and national identity at the Eurovision Song Contest ABSTRACT This paper examines Eurovision as a site for the public representation of the nation and explores the tendency towards simulation in such representations. The contest’s transnational audience and implication in commercial practices create pressures towards representing the nation through simplified, well-known images. A critique of globalization from south-east Europe argues that cultural production from marginalized countries which emphasizes local distinctiveness is a sign of structural inequality. This critique is tested against representational strategies from Ukraine, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia. Eurovision is then related to tourism through an analysis of the representation of the Mediterranean in Eurovision performances, which reflect symbolic hierarchies constructed by travel writing since the Enlightenment. Finally, the paper considers the overarching representational power exerted by host states. Key words: Eurovision Song Contest, popular music, folklore, national identity, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Ukraine Word count: 9, 235 words including notes and references This paper seeks to explore the tendency towards simulation in contemporary public representations of the nation through a historical account of the representation of national tradition in the Eurovision Song Contest since 2004. Eurovision offers two forms of opportunity for nations to be represented: the production of a live performance (and often a promotional video) by each competitor, and the promotion of the host city and country on the part of the state broadcaster organizing the event. This paper contends that the nature of the Eurovision audience (with viewers in more than 40 countries inside and outside Europe) and the commercial practices in which Eurovision is implicated create pressures towards public representations which play on simplified, well-known images of a country or region.

Ik kan u zeggen dat zelfs na bijna een jaar werken aan deze scriptie waarin het festival centraal staat, mijn liefde voor het internationale liedfestijn nog steeds even groot is. Het festival blijft voor mij een bron van, wetenschappelijke, inspiratie en ik spreek hierbij daarom de wens uit dat andere academici aandacht aan dit fenomeen zullen schenken, niet alleen in publicaties maar ook in het academisch onderwijs. Immers, het festival is het enige internationale televisieprogramma wat al bijna even oud is als het medium zelf en biedt daarom tal van invalshoeken en aanknopingspunten om mediastudenten te confronteren met het steeds veranderende medialandschap. Uiteraard wil ik na het afronden van deze scriptie een aantal mensen bedanken. Allereerst is dat mijn begeleidster, mevrouw Sonja de Leeuw. De vele besprekingen met haar gedurende het schrijven van deze scriptie waren steeds zeer verhelderend en haar vakkundige commentaar heeft deze scriptie absoluut naar een hoger niveau getild. Daarnaast wil ik graag mijn familie en vrienden bedanken en in het bijzonder mijn moeder Marina Boddaert, Anisa Verlinde en Harmen Rooms voor hun rol als “steun en toeverlaat” tijdens het langdurige proces van het schrijven van deze scriptie.

  • Sweden Manual
    Communicating Europe: Sweden Manual Information and contacts on the Swedish debate on EU enlargement in the Western Balkans Supported by the Strategic Programme Fund of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office 2 Communicating Europe: Sweden Manual ABOUT THIS MANUAL Who shapes the debate on the future of EU enlargement in Sweden today as the country takes over the EU Presidency in July 2009? This manual aims to provide an overview by introducing the key people and key institutions. It starts with a summary of core facts about Sweden. It looks at the packed timetable of the Swedish EU Presidency and the many issues on its agenda – including EU enlargement and visa liberalisation for the Western Balkan states. As background to one of the most intensive EU presidencies in recent years the manual describes the Swedish scene; the most important interest groups, the key government institutions, the current government, parliament and the main political parties and the key think-tanks. It looks at the country‟s mix of economic liberalism and welfare policies. It offers an overview of the policy debates on the EU, on future enlargement and the Western Balkans. Space is also given to the media landscape; TV, radio and print media and the internet-based media. As the British academic Timothy Garton Ash has recently written: “Talking here to a leading figure in the upcoming Swedish presidency of the EU, one understands what a hectic circus it will be in the last few months of 2009.” Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt has commented on the government‟s intensive presidency planning: “Sometimes things turn out like the John Lennon song: „Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans‟.” The prime minister added: “Planning is important, but things seldom turn out the way you intended.” Any debate in a vibrant democracy is characterised by a range of views.

Komið var á laggirnar Sambandi evrópska Sjónvarpsstöðva sem sjónvarpaði fjölbreyttri dagskrá sem átti að höfða til allra landa innan SES. Evrópska söngvakeppnin var ein af þeim dagskrárliðum sem naut mestu hylli en sú keppni hefur verið í sjónvarpi Evrópubúa síðan 1956. Keppnin hefur stækkað og breyst mikið síðan hún var fyrst sett á svið og er keppnin orðin að rótgróinni hefð og partur af lífi margra Íslendinga. Íslenska þjóðin tók fyrst þátt árið 1986 og var þá ekki aftur snúið. Á þeim tíma sem Ísland hefur keppt hefur sigurinn aldrei fallið í hendur þess en vonin er alltaf til staðar. Keppninni fylgir mikill undirbúningur og eiga áhorfendur einnig þátt í því að upphefja keppnina með umtali og fréttum í fjölmiðlum. Í rannsókninni voru tekin viðtöl við sjö viðmælendur með mismunandi sýn á keppnina. Spurt var almennt um viðhorf þeirra til keppninnar en einnig var leitað svara við spurningunni: „Er Eurovision hátíð?“ Viðmælendur eiga það allir sameiginlegt að hafa horft á keppnina, þótt sumir horfi bara á í smá stund.
