The work in the Budapest-based KÉK–Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre(2), and particularly the project Lakatlan(3) conducted between 2012-2016, operated with the notion of building synergies between a variety of local initiatives, when planning the reuse of vacant properties in Budapest. This effort gave birth to the books Vacant City(4)and Civil Város(5) (Civic City). At a more international level, with the organisation Eutropian(6), we have been working across Europe to help citizen initiatives and support public-civic cooperation, exploring 1 https://urbact.eu/active-ngos 2 http://kek.org.hu/en/ 3 http://lakatlan.kek.org.hu/ 4 https://cooperativecity.org/product/vacant-city/ 5 https://cooperativecity.org/product/civil-varos/ 6 https://eutropian.org/ 9 Funding the Cooperative City workshop in Rome, 2016.

    The Earliest East Greek Pottery from North Pontic Native Settlements

    POTS AND PANDEMONIUM: THE EARLIEST EAST GREEK POTTERY FROM NORTH PONTIC NATIVE SETTLEMENTS Gocha R. TSETSKHLADZE (Melbourne, Australia) Since the publication of B.V. Farmakovskii’s studies in 1914 (The Archaic Period in Russia) and 1916 (Milesian Vases from Russia), followed by the article of T. N. Knipovich (On the Trade Links of the Greeks with the River Tanais Region in the 7th‐5th Centuries BC) in 19341, the earliest East Greek pottery from native settlements of the steppes of the northern Black Sea has received considerable attention. A catalogue was produced by N.A. Onaiko in 1966, identifying and dating these finds and other pieces discovered in the previous thirty years according to what was then known2. Over the last forty years a few more pieces have come to light but, more importantly, considerable advances have been made both in the dating of East Greek pottery and the identification of centres of production (see Table 1). During the last decade or so this pottery from the northern Black Sea has received attention on a scale hitherto unknown3. This welcome development demonstrates not only the progress made in the study of such pottery but also the problems that it continues to present: academics have retained the use of different chronologies, whilst some publications give insufficient information about new pieces, or what they do give is confusing or contradictory or both. The principal difficulty is methodological: how should we interpret this pottery? It is important to know how the pottery came here ‐ was it as a result of trading relationships with nearby Greek colonies, or was it something else? There are broader implications.
  • Remaking Italy? Place Configurations and Italian Electoral Politics Under the ‘Second Republic’

    Remaking Italy? Place Configurations and Italian Electoral Politics Under the ‘Second Republic’

    Modern Italy Vol. 12, No. 1, February 2007, pp. 17–38 Remaking Italy? Place Configurations and Italian Electoral Politics under the ‘Second Republic’ John Agnew The Italian Second Republic was meant to have led to a bipolar polity with alternation in national government between conservative and progressive blocs. Such a system it has been claimed would undermine the geographical structure of electoral politics that contributed to party system immobilism in the past. However, in this article I argue that dynamic place configurations are central to how the ‘new’ Italian politics is being constructed. The dominant emphasis on either television or the emergence of ‘politics without territory’ has obscured the importance of this geographical restructuring. New dynamic place configurations are apparent particularly in the South which has emerged as a zone of competition between the main party coalitions and a nationally more fragmented geographical pattern of electoral outcomes. These patterns in turn reflect differential trends in support for party positions on governmental centralization and devolution, geographical patterns of local economic development, and the re-emergence of the North–South divide as a focus for ideological and policy differences between parties and social groups across Italy. Introduction One of the high hopes of the early 1990s in Italy was that following the cleansing of the corruption associated with the party regime of the Cold War period, Italy could become a ‘normal country’ in which bipolar politics of electoral competition between clearly defined coalitions formed before elections, rather than perpetual domination by the political centre, would lead to potential alternation of progressive and conservative forces in national political office and would check the systematic corruption of partitocrazia based on the jockeying for government offices (and associated powers) after elections (Gundle & Parker 1996).

Lūdzu ataunot taisnīgumu Latvijas valstī un izstrādāt un pieņemt likumu, kas paredz kompensāciju izmaksu denacionalizēto ēku īrniekiem to pašreizējās tirgus vērtības apmērā, analoģiski tam, kā tas ir izdarīts kaimiņvalstīs Lietuvā un Igaunijā. Neoficiāli mūsu Valsts vadītāji atzīst, ka denacionalizācija ir bijusi sasteigta un tajā ir bijušas pieļautas daudzas kļūdas, tāpēc lūdzu cienījamos Latvijas valsts vadītājus šīs kļūdas izlabot. Vēsturisks atskats: 1991. gadā Latvijas valstī sākās denacionalizācija, nerēķinoties ar tā laika ekonomisko situāciju, iedzīvotāju dzīves līmeni, vidējo algu un pirktspēju. Vēl vairāk valsts krievvalodīgo izcelsmes iedzīvotājiem par pārcelšanos uz Krieviju par atstātiem dzīvokļiem izmaksāja kompensāciju par dzīvokļu atstāšanu un repatriāciju uz Krieviju. Jauno masīvu, tādu kā Ķengarags, Jugla, Imanta, Zolitūde, Purvciems, Pļavnieki, Ziepniekkalns, u.c. iedzīvotājiem, tiem, kuriem padomju valsts bija iedalījusi dzīvokļus šajos jaunajos masīvos, dzīvokļus atļāva privatizēt, viņiem nav jāmaksā par īri 300 -500 EUR/mēnesī, vēl vairāk – viņi var šos dzīvokļus izīrēt un gūt peļņu no tiem. Visvairāk denacionalizācijas procesā ir cietuši tieši pasaules slavenā Jūgendstila Centra iedzīvotāji, jo viņiem neļāva dzīvokļus privatizēt – lika šķēršļus, uzlauza un demolēja dzīvokļus, salauza un mainīja slēdzenes, atslēdza ūdeni, elektrību un siltumu, dedzināja un šāva, organizācijām vienojoties, neizmaksāja algas, radīja mākslīgus parādus. (Ir dokumentāli pierādījumi). Drīz pēc denacionalizācijas īres maksa Centra dzīvokļos sasniedza 5 LVL/m2. Piem., ja vidēji liels Centra dzīvoklis bija 90 m2, tad īre par to sastādīja 450 -500 LVV/mēnesī plus komunālie maksājumi, kas kopā ar īri sastādīja 600 – 1000 LVL/mēnesī.

    The 2015 Regional Election in Italy: Fragmentation and Crisis of Sub-National Representative Democracy

    The 2015 regional election in Italy: fragmentation and crisis of sub-national representative democracy Author: Davide Vampa Affiliation: European University Institute Address: (permanent) Via Dei Roccettini 50014 San Domenico di Fiesole (FI) – Italy (current) Flat 5 83 Palmerston Road, N22 8QS, London, UK Phone Numbers: 0039 3459228161 or 0044 7760458564 Email: [email protected] Biographical note of the Author: Davide Vampa is researcher at the European University Institute, where he is completing a PhD project on the territorialisation of social policy in Western Europe. Part of this project has already been published in Regional and Federal Studies. He has also worked and published on political parties and elections in Italy and Western Europe. 1 Abstract. In May 2015, voters in seven Italian regions went to the polls to elect new regional councils and governments. The final election result was apparently similar to that of 2010: centre-left coalitions won in five out of seven regions, like in the previous election, leaving the remaining two to the centre-right. Yet behind this picture of stability, dramatic changes have occurred in the internal composition of regional coalitions, cross-party equilibriums and levels of participation. Generally, regional party-based democracy seems to be experiencing increasing fragmentation and a crisis of representation and legitimacy. Keywords: Italy, Regional Election, Party Politics, Electoral Participation, Sub-national Democracy Introduction Until 2010 regional elections had always been held on the same day in all, or almost all, ‘ordinary status’1 Italian regions. Yet on the 31st May 2015, for the first time, only seven of fifteen regions went to the polls since the remaining ones had to call early elections in previous years after their governments collapsed.
