  • Power Indices and Minimal Winning Coalitions in Simple Games in Partition Function Form
    Power Indices and Minimal Winning Coalitions in Simple Games in Partition Function Form J.M. Alonso-Meijide1, M. Alvarez-Mozos´ ∗2, and M.G.

Campus Lagoas-Marcosende, 36310, Vigo (Pontevedra), Spain. Abstract We propose a generalization of simple games to partition function form games based on a monotonicity property that we define in this context. This property allows us to properly speak about minimal winning embedded coalitions. We propose and characterize two power indices based on this kind of coalitions. Finally, the new indices are used to study the distribution of power in the Parliament of Andalusia emerged after the elections of March 22, 2015. Keywords: Deegan-Packel index; Public Good index; Simple games; Partition function form; Monotonicity 1 Introduction Game theory provides valuable tools to study how power is distributed among the members of a decision making body. Most of the literature identifies the power of an agent with her ability to change the outcome of a ballot. The Shapley-Shubik index (Shapley and Shubik, 1954) is probably the most well known and widely accepted way to measure power. However, many different power indices have been proposed in the literature so far.

  • 1 Devolution (Further Powers) Committee
    Devolution (Further Powers) Committee Report on Fact Finding Visit to Madrid and Seville: 10-11 December 2015 Purpose 1. This report summarises the key findings from a recent fact finding visit to the Parliament of Seville and the Cortes Generales in Madrid. The purpose of the visit was to gain an improved understanding of the operation of inter- governmental relations within Spain, from a ‘federal’ level parliament and a ‘regional’ parliament, with a particular emphasis upon the means via which legislatures within Spain scrutinise these relationships. 2. We wish to express our thanks and gratitude to the people whom we met in Madrid and Seville. In particular, we wish to express our thanks to Maria Roso from the Parliament of Andalusia and Fernando Galindo Elola-Olaso of the Congress of Deputies who organized the visit. 3. We are also grateful to our adviser, Professor Nicola McEwen of the University of Edinburgh and to Dr Sandra León of the University of York for this assistance in the preparation of briefing material in advance of the visit. Spanish Constitutional Structure 4. The 1978 Spanish Constitution details the territorial organisation of the Spanish State. Section Two of the Constitution states- “The Constitution is based on the indissoluble unity of the Spanish Nation, the common and indivisible homeland of all Spaniards; it recognises and guarantees the right to self-government of the nationalities and regions of which it is composed and the solidarity among them all”. 5. The territorial organisation of the State and in particular the competences of autonomous communities are set out in Part 7 of the Constitution.

The research is focused on the analysis of the parliamentary initiatives and the corresponding parliamentary debates, with special emphasis on the legislative initiatives prior to the 2005 Law of Advertising and Institutional Communication, and its value as predecessor of other regulations. The first proposal of the law, still rejected, was taken by different political forces as the basis for subsequent regulative proposals concerning institutional advertising. The position of different groups, and their arguments, shows a clear lack of coherence in many cases. The comparison of the different initiatives in different Spanish chambers –and the debates around them- is a first step to establish the policy memory which, beyond the specific case of institutional communication, becomes a very useful instrument in the field of Political Communication. Keywords: Political communication; institutional advertising; debate; parliament; regulation. Summary: 1. The Spanish parliament as public space. 2. Institutional Advertising in the Spanish parliaments. 3. Parliamentary Initiatives in the Spanish Congress of Deputies. 4. Elements of the Parliamentary Debate. 5. Conclusions. 6. Bibliography. 7.

No son pocas las voces que demandan una revisión del mismo, habida cuenta de las transformaciones sobrevenidas desde entonces; transformaciones que se han hecho patentes en los resultados obtenidos de su seguimiento y evaluación periódicos. El último de es- tos informes sostiene la necesidad de revisar el POTAUG, circunstancia que ha sido refrendada por el Parlamento de Andalucía en febrero de 2018. Es por ello que el objetivo de este artículo es valorar la verdadera necesidad y urgencia de su revisión y, en última instancia, esbozar la for- ma en la que esta revisión debiera realizarse, a fin de consolidar los logros obtenidos, acabar de cumplir las propuestas que aún se consideren vigentes y resolver los nuevos retos ante los que se enfrenta la Aglomeración Urbana de Granada.

  • El “Yo” De Los Políticos: ¿Cuestión De Género?*
    Copyright © 2009 ISSN 1887-4606 Vol. 6(1) 5-20 www.dissoc.org _____________________________________________________________ Artículo _____________________________________________________________ El “yo” de los políticos: ¿cuestión de género?* The “I” of the politicians: Question of gender? Esperanza R. Alcaide Lara Universidad de Sevilla (España) Discurso & Sociedad, Vol. 6(1) 2012, 5- 20 Esperanza R. Alcaide Lara, El yo de los políticos: ¿cuestión de género? 6 Resumen En este trabajo, nos centramos en el fenómeno de la explicitación del pronombre personal sujeto en el discurso político, concretamente en la intervención parlamentaria. Nuestro objetivo es descubrir si el uso de este uso está condicionado por la variable sexo, o, por el contrario, son otros factores (ideología, rol social, etc.) los que lo propician. Para ello hemos llevado a cabo un estudio cuantitativo y cualitativo de este aspecto en diarios de sesiones del Parlamento de Andalucía en un periodo comprendido entre enero de 2010 y diciembre de 2011. La conclusión a la que llegamos es que el uso del PPS está ligado a factores como el rol desempeñado por el individuo y el objetivo comunicativo que este se marca en su discurso, aunque la variable sexual parece ser determinante en algunos usos. Palabras clave: Análisis del discurso político; explicitación del pronombre personal sujeto; género; rol social. Abstract In this paper, we approach to the study explanation of the personal subject pronoun yo (PSP) in the political discourse, specifically in the parliamentary intervention. Our aim is to detect the connection between this phenomenon and social variables, like sex, or other factors, like ideology, social rol, etc. We have realized a quantitative and qualitative study of this aspect in reports of proceedings in Parliament of Andalusia between January of 2010 and December of 2011.

  • 2020 Spain Country Report | SGI Sustainable Governance Indicators
    Spain Report Mario Kölling, Ignacio Molina, César Colino (Coordinator) Sustainable Governance Indicators 2020 © vege - stock.adobe.com Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2020 | 2 Spain Report Executive Summary The social and economic crisis (2008 – 2013), which included several corruption scandals, eroded public trust in Spain’s political system. This has had a remarkable impact on the party system since 2015. In addition to the two traditional forces, the conservative Popular Party (PP) and the Socialist Party (PSOE), the left-wing Podemos, the liberal Ciudadanos and the far-right party Vox have emerged, and are now crucial for the formation of majorities in the parliament. Since a grand coalition between the two traditional parties is still unlikely, the new parties are key potential partners in coalition or (possibly via confidence and supply agreements) for minority governments. A wider choice of political alternatives may represent a positive development, but it has come at the cost of reformist momentum and government stability. After the no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in May 2018, the Socialist government – drawing on the support of less than 25% of deputies –conveyed a picture of political change, but lacked the authority to implement deep policy changes. Nevertheless, the PSOE minority government announced ambitious policy reforms and focused on symbolic measures aimed at appealing to progressive voters. However, in February 2019, Spain’s parliament failed to approve the annual budget for 2019, underlining the instability of the PSOE government. As a result, Prime Minister Sánchez decided to call for early elections on 28 April 2019. PSOE’s victory in the elections, with 29% of the vote, seemed to be a sign of democratic resilience.

  • Act 1/2014, of 24 June, on Public Transparency of Andalusia. THE
    Act 1/2014, of 24 June, on Public Transparency of Andalusia. THE PRESIDENT OF THE REGIONAL GOVERNMENT OF ANDALUSIA HEREBY MAKES KNOWN TO ALL THOSE THAT MAY SEE THIS INSTRUMENT: That the Parliament of Andalusia and I, on behalf of the King and pursuant to the authority granted to me by the Constitution and the Statute of Autonomy, enact and order the publication of the following ACT ON PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY OF ANDALUSIA PRESENTATION OF REASONS I Transparency is inherent to democracy and constitutes an essential part for establishing an advanced democratic society, which is one of the objectives announced in the introduction to our Constitution. Without the knowledge gained by citizens being able to access public information, it would be almost impossible to form a critical opinion and allow all citizens to take part in political, economic, cultural and social life, an undeniable objective that must be fostered by public authorities (articles 9.2 of the Constitution and 10.1 of the Statute of Autonomy for Andalusia). The assessment of public programmes and policies is also recognised as an administrative instrument for complying with transparency objectives. Therefore, the Regional Government of Andalusia has established the target of designing an Andalusian system for assessing public policies, pursuant to article 138 of the Statute of Autonomy and for ensuring maximum transparency in public administration. The aim of this act is to provide greater insight into the transparency of actions by public authorities, understood to be one of the instruments that enable democracy to be more real and effective. This should not be limited to merely exercising the right to vote.
