    The open method of coordination – effectively preventing welfare state retrenchment?

    No full text
    This article re-examines the division between "optimists" and "pessimists" within the literature on the Open Method of Coordination’s (OMC) effectiveness. Each of those "camps" tends to focus on a different question. "Optimists" are more concerned with the question of whether the OMC exerts an influence on the national level and through which mechanisms, whilst "pessimists" concentrate on the question of whether the OMC can "strengthen" EU social policy and therefore European welfare states. This article combines these two perspectives and argues that the OMC is indeed capable of influencing national policies through the dissemination of ideas and "learning" as the "optimists" stress. However, policy "learning" at the member state level is shaped and constrained by a variety of internal and external pressures. Against the hopes of most of the OMC "optimists", this makes the OMC largely ineffective in preventing welfare state retrenchme

    How legitimate is the open method of coordination?

    No full text
    This article argues that the OMC's legitimacy can be improved only by strengthening parliamentary channels of input-legitimacy since output-legitimacy alone is inappropriate and cannot be achieved without input-legitimacy. In addition, concepts and practices of direct 'stakeholder' participation currently applied within the OMC are insufficient in strengthening input-legitimacy

    Manejo Aplicado al Sistema Porcino Tradicional En los Llanos Colombo-Venezolanos

    No full text
    Purpose: The purpose of this article was to analyze the traditional management applied to the production of native pigs in the Colombian-Venezuelan plains. Description: Initially, the origin of native pigs is described as an animal genetic resource that inhabits the Colombian-Venezuelan savannas, as a result of natural selection. Then, the socio-economic importance to the Venezuelan plains of Apure, Guarico and Barinas, and to the east of the Colombian departments of Casanare, Vichada, and Arauca is revealed. Some of the management practices implemented in this type of system are described and certain production indicators are shown. Point of view: Generally, the savanna pig shows particular independence from conventional production systems and, therefore, it has survived within the traditional exploitation system. This is a good example of clean production and an invitation to reflect which should be analyzed in more detail in order to adjust production to commercial parameters that allow continuity and survival of this valuable local genetic resource. Conclusions: It is concluded that there is an opportunity to offer quality organic products and that, after this reflection on the potential of savanna pig to meet the demand of sophisticated and demanding markets, it is necessary to conduct research in order to establish productive and reproductive parameters that improve the efficiency of this exploitation system with an underused pig race in the flood savanna ecosystem.Propósito: el objetivo del presente artículo fue realizar un análisis del manejo tradicional aplicado a la producción de cerdos criollos en los llanos Colombo-Venezolanos.  Descripción: inicialmente se describe el origen de los cerdos criollos como un recurso zoogenético que habita en las sabanas colombo-venezolanas, producto de la selección natural. Seguidamente se revela la importancia socioeconómica para los llanos venezolanos de Apure, Guárico y Barinas, y el oriente de los departamentos colombianos de Casanare, Vichada y Arauca. Consecutivamente se describen algunas de las prácticas de manejo que hacen en este tipo de sistema y se muestran ciertos indicadores productivos. Punto de vista: en general, el cerdo sabanero demuestra una particular independencia frente a los sistemas de producción convencional, razón por la cual ha podido sobrevivir dentro del sistema de explotación tradicional, constituyéndose así en un buen ejemplo de la producción limpia, invitando a una reflexión que bien vale la pena analizar con más detalle para tratar de ajustar la producción a parámetros comerciales que permitan la continuidad y la supervivencia de este valioso recurso genético local. Conclusiones: se concluye que hay una oportunidad de ofertar productos orgánicos de primera calidad, que después de esta reflexión acerca del aporte del potencial del cerdo sabanero para satisfacer la demanda de mercados sofisticados y exigentes, se hace necesario realizar investigaciones que conduzcan a establecer parámetros productivos y reproductivos que permitan mejorar la eficiencia de este sistema de explotación con una raza porcina subutilizada en el ecosistema de sabanas inundables

    No full text
    The thesis deals with the journalistic works of Milena Jesenská not only in Lidové noviny but also in the magazine Přítomnost in 1929 - 1930, resp. in 1937 - 1939. In her works we can find a number of repetitive topics. Most of them have in large part roots in her life. Her literaty output is permanently penetrated by her permanent need to help her surroundings and to protect her weaker residents, which is according to author's biographers for Milena Jesenská sheer crucial. The author stood in the years 1929 - 1930 as the head of women's section of Lidové noviny and was trying very hardly to fight for the change of the form of this section in the print at that time. Another significant topic was the issue of a modern woman and her role in the society at that time. The thesis deals also with the resonance of social relations and historic events in the examined texts. Politically tuned reflections or reports and reportage by Milena Jesenská in the magazine Přítomnost bring an authentic perspective to the atmosphere in the Czechoslovak society at that time

    Milena Marković's plays Пьесы Милены Маркович

    Сажетак: Предмет истраживања је драмски опус Милене Марковић. Дисертацијом је обухваћен целокупан досадашњи драмски корпус Милене Марковић, укупно десет објављених драма (од Павиљони до Ливада пуна таме). Поред драмских дела, анализом је обухваћен и поетски опус ауторке у оном смислу у којем кореспондира (тематски и идејно) са наведеним драмама. Такође, успостављене су и везе са текстовима који се налазе у подтексту драме Наход Симеон, уз осврт на митске и архетипске одреднице присутне у свим драмама. Научно истраживање се фокусира на структуралне, али и на тематске одлике драмског опуса Милене Марковић, те се бави како драмским елементима читаним и постављеним у постдрамском кључу, тако и проблемским питањима која извиру из драмских текстова. Проучавања су вршена и са освртом на социологију уметности, на филозофске проблеме питања зла и слободе, те међуљудских односа, питања моћи, идентитета, потом на теорију рода и места трагичког, односно комичког дискурса у постмодерном свету. Циљ истраживања је био да се проникне у драматуршку поетику Милене Марковић, са резултатом у виду прве монографије о драмском делу ауторке. У тематским и проблемским оквирима драмских текстова, препознати су простори универзалних, архетипских, симболичких и семантичких вредности, преко којих се може претендовати достизање целине људског искуства, његове репрезентативности која се очитује у активирању универзалних митских значења и општељудских вредности. Истраживање је донело један свеукупни приказ драматуршких особености дела Милене Марковић, као и приказ статуса њеног дела у оквиру историје српског драмског стваралаштва. Приликом истраживања служили смо се различитим методама, херменеутичком, биографском (нови позитивизам), социолошком, затим текстолошком, компаративном, структуролошком.Abstract: The subject of the research is Milena Marković's dramatic oeuvre. The dissertation covers the 10 dramas published by Milena Marković to date (from Paviljoni to Livada puna tame). In addition to her dramas, the analysis covers the poetic works of the author in the sense in which it corresponds (thematically and conceptually) with her dramas. Furthermore, a relation was established with the texts found in the subtext of the play Nahod Simeon, with reference to the mythical and archetypal determinants present in all plays. Scientific research focuses on the structural, as well as on the thematic features of Milena Marković's dramatic oeuvre, and deals with both dramatic elements read and set in a post-dramatic key, as well as problematic issues arising from dramatic texts. The research was also carried out with reference to the sociology of art, to the philosophical problems of evil and freedom, interpersonal relations, issues of power, identity, then to gender theory and the place of tragic and comic discourse in the postmodern world. The goal of the research was to delve into Milena Marković's dramatic poetics, with the result being the first monograph on the author's dramatic work. Universal, archetypal, symbolic and semantic values are recognized in the thematic and problematic frameworks of dramatic texts, through which one can aspire to reach the entirety of human experience, its representativeness, which is manifested in the activation of universal mythical meanings and universal human values. The research compiled a comprehensive presentation of the dramaturgical peculiarities of the work of Milena Marković, as well as a presentation of the status of her work within the history of Serbian drama. Different methods were used during this research – hermeneutic, biographical (new positivism), sociological, textological, comparative, and structural
