Transnational Activism, Global Governance, and the EU Syllabus for the course on Transnational Activism, Global Governance, and the EU LUISS – MIPA and MES Instructor: Raffaele Marchetti [email protected] Academic Year: 2012/2013 This is a joint, but differentiated MIPA-MES course. MIPA students are required to attend sessions 1-5 (I term). MES students are required to attend sessions 1-10 (I and II term). Course Description: It is now widely recognised that global or transnational civil society plays a significant role in global governance. In the last 30 years, and especially after the end of the Cold War, the presence of civil society organisations (CSOs) in international affairs has become increasingly relevant. They have played a role in agenda setting, international law-making and governance, transnational diplomacy (tracks II and III), and the implementation and monitoring of a number of crucial global issues ranging from trade to development and poverty reduction, from democratic governance to human rights, from peace to the environment, and from security to the information society. CSOs have thus been significant international actors as advocates for policy solutions, service providers, knowledge brokers, or simply watchdogs and monitors of state and intergovernmental actions. This course is divided in two parts: the first part will examine the particular political constellation produced by the combination of institutional backing, socio-economic processes, technological innovation, and the dominance of a specific political ideology within which this global activism has taken place. The second part will examined more closely the relationship between CSOs and European institutions for what concerns the areas of global governance and peacebuilding. Course Methodology: Classes will consist primarily of seminar discussions, involving both short lectures by the professor and presentations by the students on the topics of the class. All students are expected to read the required literature of each seminar in advance and be ready to engage in a critical discussion with each other and with the instructor. Each seminar will be organized as follows: after the presentation by the instructor of the topic to be discussed, a group of 2-3 students is expected to 1 introduce the discussion, acting collectively as ‘discussion leader’. The discussion leaders will have to outline the main points of the readings thus highlighting questions for class’s discussion. One leader will present the strengths of the readings, the other the weaknesses. Critical remarks on the reading are always welcome. The first seminar, introduced by the instructor, will be used for clarifying the aims of the course and for assembling the discussion groups of the following seminars. Assessment: The students will be evaluated on the basis of class participation and a written assignment. The student will be expected to participate actively in class discussions, and must be able to discuss the main ideas presented in the required readings. Students will submit one jointly-written case study/strategy paper (2500 words). The paper will have to be submitted by January 4 th for MIPA students, and by June 7 th for MES students. The final evaluation will thus consist in the aggregation of the single assessments as the following: - Case Study/Strategy paper (60%) - Class presentation (20%) - Participation in class discussion (20%) ECTS grading Numerical grading in % Description (MES / MIPA) A+ 96 - 100 Outstanding A 91 - 95 Excellent A- 86 - 90 Very good B+ 81 - 85 Good B 76 - 80 B- 71 - 75 Satisfactory C+ 66 - 70 C 61 - 65 Pass C- 56 - 60 Resubmit D < 55 Fail 2 Course Schedule and Readings: Session 1 The Politics of Norm Change: Transnational Civil Society and Global Politics Required readings: Finnemore, M., and Sikkink, K.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19784-7 - Global Democracy: Normative and Empirical Perspectives Edited by Daniele Archibugi, Mathias Koenig-Archibugi and Raffaele Marchetti Frontmatter More information Global Democracy Democracy is increasingly seen as the only legitimate form of govern- ment, but few people would regard international relations as governed according to democratic principles. Can this lack of global democracy be justified? Which models of global politics should contemporary democrats endorse and which should they reject? What are the most promising pathways to global democratic change? To what extent does the extension of democracy from the national to the international level require a radical rethinking of what democratic institutions should be? This book answers these questions by providing a sustained dialogue between scholars of political theory, international law and empirical social science. By presenting a broad range of views by prominent scholars, it offers an in-depth analysis of one of the key challenges of our century: globalizing democracy and democratizing globalization. daniele archibugi is Research Director at the Italian National Research Council and Professor of Innovation, Governance and Public Policy at Birkbeck, University of London. mathias koenig-archibugi is Senior Lecturer in Global Politics in the Department of Government and the Department of Inter- national Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science. raffaele marchetti is Assistant Professor in International Relations

  • Precarious Citizenship: Rights Claims of EU Migrants in the UK
    Precarious citizenship: Rights claims of EU migrants in the UK Kuba Jabłonowski Submitted by Jakub Jablonowski, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography, March 2019. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that any material that has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University has been acknowledged. Signature: Abstract EU citizenship comprises a set of rights, but it is most closely associated with free movement across member states. However, while free movers formally enjoy equal civil, social, economic and residence rights throughout the European Union, informal application of these rights is spatially uneven. Further, political rights of EU citizens remain curtailed as free movers usually cannot vote in national elections in their country of residency, but they can vote in local and external elections. This dynamic of inclusion and exclusion generates a democratic deficit, but it also produces emergent spaces of political action. My thesis engages with this opening to analyse how EU migrant citizens claim their electoral, socioeconomic, and residence rights in Bristol: a culturally and economically vibrant English city, where the density of migrant networks generates a fertile ground for both political engagement and engaged research. The study is theoretically informed by geographic and political literatures on citizenship and interdisciplinary citizenship studies – with the acts of citizenship approach being particularly useful – as well as social and political theory.

They are therefore in a unique position to Global Governance address the widely perceived ‘democratic deficit’ in global governance. This volume, which includes chapters derived from reports originally presented at the 2010 EUISS Building on the civil society Annual Conference on the theme of civil society, examines the role of civil society actors with specific reference to the emergence of a global public sphere. It explores how civil society organisations are contributing to the global dialogue on key issues, with a particular focus on humanitarian assistance, peacebuilding and development. The book also highlights regional perspectives on the impact of civil agenda society on governance and democratisation processes.
