  • CEPS Working Document Policy No
    Centre for European CEPS Working Document Policy No. 214/November 2004 Studies Europeanisation as a Gravity Model of Democratisation Michael Emerson & Gergana Noutcheva Abstract Much analysis of trends in democratisation in the world nowadays gives a rather pessimistic message, with such sweeping notions as the end of the third wave of democratisation, or of the democratic transition paradigm. A closer look at what has been happening in Europe, however, suggests that such analyses have often overlooked an important explanatory variable, captured in what we may call a ‘gravity model’, borrowing here a term from trade theory in economics. The gravity model of democratisation joins up with the mechanisms of Europeanisation, with democratisation progressing fast and deeply in 20 European states that were recently non-democratic, and which have various integrative relationships with the European Union. The trends and levels in the democracy scorecard in Europe as a whole show a clear correlation with the degrees of strength of these integrative relationships, and the results can be seen to be linked to the political conditionality and socialisation mechanisms of Europeanisation. Unfortunately for the advocates of universal democracy, other continents are presently unable to organise or access something similar, even Latin America where the US might have been expected to play more of an analogous role, and even less the Arab/Islamic world. This is not to argue that the values and mechanisms of democracy do not have universal plausibility, at least in the long run. But in the absence of the gravity variable in other continents, there should be soberly realistic expectations over the prospects for fast and deep democratisation.

  • CMS.603 / CMS.995 American Soap Operas Spring 2008
    MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu CMS.603 / CMS.995 American Soap Operas Spring 2008 For information about citing these materials or our Terms of Use, visit: http://ocw.mit.edu/terms. Jenn D’Ascoli CMS.603 Term paper Neighbours – Good Friends and Good Success In the 20 years leading up to 1995, soaps operas were “the dominant form of drama on Australia television screens” (Moran, 344) While that trend has since shifted to serial dramas, there are still two Australian soap operas popular enough to remain on the air. Neighbours,the longest running Australian drama ever produced, is a “nightly soap opera exploring the various domestic dramas of the families in a group of homes in an average suburb” (Moran, 270). Originally concentrating on everyday life without a lot of added melodrama, Neighbours developed over the years to include such dramatic storylines as bombings and lesbian kisses. Faced with declining ratings, Neighbours was refocused in March 2007, moving away from the sensational and back to the simple storylines about family that it began with (Kilkelly). In this paper, I examine the current production of Neighbours using the characteristics of the show that made it an initial success, both in Australia and in the UK, and offer a contrasting analysis of the popular, long-running American soap opera, As the World Turns (ATWT), to provide insight into some of the major differences between successful Australian and American soap operas. An examination of several key facets that lay the foundation for Neighbours' success, and their manifestation (or lack thereof) in the current series of Neighbours and As the World Turns, demonstrates one of the reasons behind the failure of Neighbours in the US market.

A source said: “Kanye is obsessed with space and anything sci-fi - he’s shot many space- ship-themed videos and he even considered training as an astronautical engineer. Now he’s fixated on the idea Nadine Coyle puts a ring on it of honeymooning in space. “Apparently, Kim wasn’t keen at first but Kanye has talked her round and there’s even he former Girls Aloud star’s partner Jason Bell is said to have proposed over Christmas and the couple - who are expecting a baby girl next month talk it will be chronicled on her reality show.” Kanye - “can’t wait” to plan their wedding once they have become parents.

I draw upon examples from the group and from a series of interviews1 with its members to argue that the paratextual ‘play’ these fans partake in replicates the notion of Australian soap Neighbours (1985-present) as being a programme whose pleasures come through a combination of affection and having ‘much to laugh at’ (Wober and Fazal 1994, 85) - indeed, the show itself encourages a playful approach to its narratives. Neighbours has a history of attracting a following who often enjoy the programme partly because they feel able to 'laugh at' it - often including teenagers, students and young adults – or those who first came to watch the show in their youth and have continued to watch (see: Wober and Fazal 1994: 85; Gillespie 1995; Williams 2010).
