Contested Legitimacy
Get PDFThere is a growing demand to change the institutions and constitutional design as responseto the impact of the electorate or other recently emerging movements supported mostly from variousstreet protest actions or citizens rallies. Despite of how it may be difficult to bring about any general typology of diverse motivations, forms of manifestation and outcomes they lead to, I am inclined to believe, that their objective is to challenge the institutions. The institutions are thought to fail because theycannot fully deliver legitimacy. In other words, public pronouncement of discontent over policies is easily transferred to the common disapproval of the established institutions. And the institutions that are becoming an easy target of all the malaises, even though they had been established through free and fairelections, are becoming handy victims as a result of peace-building negotiations

Violenta impotriva femeilor rome
Get PDFThe present article introduces to the academic agenda a subject that is still largely invisible, namely violence against Roma women, and creates a necessary climate for dialogue between scholars dealing with this subject. The aim of the paper is to investigate the impact of cultural and gender essentialism on violence against Roma women. The research proposal develops a description of the inequalities in combating violence against Roma women and further discusses the mechanisms that could remedy these inequalities. The proposed study regarding violence against Roma women is a theoretical inquiry that investigates this acute contemporary phenomenon by using a conceptual framework based on radical feminist theories
Reformismul islamic si impactul asupra studiilor de gen
Get PDFOne of the characteristics of modern Islamic reformist movements is represented by the emergence of the gender question as a major theme in theoretical discourses and public policies. AI lslah / the reform illustrates the Islamic tradition's potential for transformation and self - transformation. lslah constituted itself as a reaction towards what had been conceptualized and perceived as fasad (corruption, injustice) in certain moments of time and specific places. The disponibility of taking in to consideration the injustice Muslim women were subjected to faded away considerably as the atomized Quranic interpretations and legalist manipulations of the ethical substance of lslamic principles started to spread. Despite the sporadic turbulences it has sparkled, the only feasible and tasting solution for promoting an egalitarian perspective on gender relations in Islamic cultures is the critical deconstruction within the tradition. In this article I will discuss some of the Quranic justifications regarding the legitimacy of the reformist approaches endorsed by women and the relevance of Islamic reform in gender studies
Este statul o persoana? Argumentele realismului stiintific explicate prin realismul ofensiv
Get PDFScopul acestui studiu este de a identifica argumentele realismului stiintific, formulate de catre Alexander Wendt, pe baza carora statul se defineste ca persoana sau ca actor in sistemul de state. Voi vorbi despre aceste argumente si motivele pentru care acestea pot explica comportamentul statelorca actori rationali. In prima parte mi-am propus sa identific componentele teoretice din cadrul realismului stiintific, conform carora statele sunt autoorganizate, seamana cu organismele biologice, adica au o structura interna cu elemente constituente functionale care actioneaza in sens colectiv in virtutea reproducerii si supravietuirii sistemului, iar spre exterior acestea isi stabilesc limite/granite pentru a se defini ca o identitate. Pe baza componentelor biologice ale sistemului voi identifica si componenta cognitiva a unui stat, ceea ce il defineste ca o persoana psihologica cu interese, constiinta si memorie, astfel elementele constituente actioneaza in sensul supravietuirii identitatii colective. Fiind date functiile cognitive ale statului acesta isi va putea proiecta si strategii de relationare cu ceilalti actori statali. In a doua sectiune a lucrarii voi vorbi despre paradigma realismului ofensiv, din cadrul relatiilor internationale. Astfel pe baza structurii teoretice din realismul stiintific voi extrage conceptele cheie si le voi operationaliza, sau cel putin le voi asocia cu asumptiile mai aplicate din realismul ofensiv formulate de John J. Mearsheimer care susþine ca principalul factor motivant pentru state in sistemul international il reprezinta dorinta de putere astfel voi testa asumptia principala a lucrarii conform careia statele sunt persoane supradimensionate
Superman. A Hero of the Culture Industry
Get PDFSuperman’s image symbolizes the utopian and ideal narrative of the American Dream. Yet, the feasibility of the American Dream transformed this national hero into a commodity meant to be consumed. Thus, one of the most beloved heroes of the 20th century became what Theodor Adorno foresaw: a commodity designed to be reproduced and to be a part of the culture industry. This paper examines how consumerist tendencies resulted in Superman no longer being able to represent the core principles of the American Dream. The theoretical framework consists of Umberto Eco’s interpretation of Superman’s heroic structure and its Greek reminiscences. The works of Andrew Terjesen, (Superman and Philosophy. What would the Man of Steel do?) and Larry Tye (Superman. The High Flying History of America’s Most Enduring Hero) will be used to analyze the scale on which Superman has been used as a soft-power means of disseminating American value
Analiza comparativa a schimbarilor din comunitatile de intelligence din Statele Unite ale Americii si România post-razboi rece – perspectiva izomorfismului mimetic
Get PDFEach state is responsible for the security of its citizens. The way in which it understands to build this desiderate differs from state to state. A common element between these forms of human organization, as can be seen if we analyze the state structures, is represented by the existence of specialized institutions (e.g. intelligence agencies) in filling in the security needs of these states. The following paper tries to see how the security needs and the constant change in the international environment shaped the Romanian intelligence community by using specific methods and elements used by the USA’s intelligence community. In order to achieve this objective the theoretical framework used will be the neoinstitutionalism, specifically the sociological institutionalism through its mimetic isomorphism

Identities under Construction: Towards a Museum of Roma People in Romania
Get PDFThis article is a rejection upon the timeliness and possibility of establishing a Museum of Roma People, more specifically, a museum able to (re)present the Roma cultural identity in contemporary Romania. Having in mind Bauman's reflection on identity, the aim of this study is to provide arguments in favor of the idea that the purpose of a Museum of Roma People should be to bring to life and give voice to various Roma identities, as lived and negotiated nowadays within compact Roma communities, as well as outside them
