No full textIn 2012 the author was awarded The James Kaye Memorial Prize for the Best Thesis in History and Visuality.Defence date: 28 June 2010Examining Board: Prof. Giulia Calvi (EUI, supervisor); Prof. Anthony Molho (EUI); Prof. Penelope Corfield (Royal Holloway, University of London and University of Leicester); Dr. Yannis Tzioumakis (University of Liverpool)PDF of thesis uploaded from the Library digital archive of EUI PhD thesesThe deconstruction of masculinity crisis in Greece during the 1950s and 1960s has a central part in the research objectives of the current project. More precisely, the main research questions of my study are as follows:
- How are hegemonic and subordinated types of masculinity represented in Greek popular films?
- How are gender relations represented in Greek popular films?
- What is the impact of cultural transfers on the cinematic representations of masculinity and gender relations?
- How do films represent the negotiation of tradition with modernity with regard to changes in masculinity and gender relations?
- How do the representations of masculinity and gender relations relate to those of class and locality?
- How do cinematic representations of masculinity and gender relations connect to their historical context
The interval between initiation of anti-tuberculosis treatment in patients with culture-positive pulmonary tuberculosis and receipt of drug-susceptibility test results
No full textAlthough mycobacterial culture and the subsequent drug-susceptibility test (DST) for anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs take several months to complete using solid media, there are no reports on the turnaround times of these tests under clinical conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the interval between initiation of anti-TB treatment and receipt of DST requested at an outpatient clinic. We prospectively enrolled patients with culture-positive pulmonary TB at Seoul National University Hospital from September 2002 to December 2004.. Patients were followed up monthly. Mycobacterial cultures were done using Ogawa media at Seoul National University Hospital. DST were performed at the Korean Institute of Tuberculosis. Of the 104 patients enrolled, 54 were male. The median age was 41 yr. The median interval from initiation of anti-TB treatment to receipt of mycobacterial culture results by clinicians was 37 days (range, 0-89 days). The median interval from initiation of treatment to confirmation of DST by requesting clinicians was 80.5 days (range, 28-145 days). Clinicians only received the results of DST more than two months after initiation of treatment when they followed up patients monthly and mycobacterial culture was performed using solid media.Y
The impact of the world trade organisation on the protection and promotion of human rights
No full textDefence date: 2 December 2005Examining board: Prof. Ernst-Ulrich Petersmann, EUI (supervisor) ; Prof. Francesco Francioni, EUI ; Prof. Sheldon Leader, Essex University ; Prof. Giorgio Malinverni, Geneva UniversityPDF of thesis uploaded from the Library digitised archive of EUI PhD theses completed between 2013 and 2017This dissertation examines the impact of international trade rules on the promotion and protection of human rights, and explains why human rights are an important mechanism for assessing the social justice impact of the international trading system. The core of the dissertation is an in depth analysis of the impact of international trade law rules on the protection and promotion of human rights, emphasising the significance of the jurisdictional context in which the human rights issues arise: coercive measures that are taken by one country to protect and promote human rights in another country are distinguished from measures taken by a country to protect and promote the human rights of its own population. The author contends that international trade law rules have utilised certain ad hoc mechanisms to deal with particularly pressing human rights concerns in the trade context, but also argues that these mechanisms do not provide systemic solutions to the inter-linkages between the two legal systems. The author therefore examines mechanisms by which human rights arguments could be more appropriately raised and adjudicated upon in WTO dispute settlement proceedings. He concludes by considering broader systemic issues outside the dispute settlement process that need to be addressed if trade law rules are to successfully protect and promote human rights
Reforming transport in Italy : a case study in Europeanisation
No full textDefence date: 10 February 1999Examining board: Prof. Dr. Adrienne Héritier (EUI, supervisor) ; Prof. Dr. Stefano Bartolini (EUI) ; Prof. Dr. Colin Crouch (EUI) ; Prof. Dr. Helmut Willke (University of Bielefeld)PDF of thesis uploaded from the Library digitised archive of EUI PhD theses completed between 2013 and 2017The question this thesis attempts to answer is summarized as follows: what accounts for the amazing stability of Italian transport policy in the face of European challenges, given the fact that - as most national and European policy-makers readily believe - it is not capable of addressing the problem of the sector? This study analyzes the transport policy in Italy from the 1990s into the 21st century. It looks at how the two sub-sectors of surface transport, road haulage and raliways, have been managed by the public and private actors involved. In both sectors the policy appears to have failed, either by not offering a remedy to problems or by aggravating them further. The author believes that studying transport policy in Italy will shed light on the wider question of how national policy-making patterns are influenced by developments in the international environment; in this case looking closely at the influence of the European Union
Globalisation, European integration and the changing role of farmers in the CAP
No full textDefence date: 26 June 2000Examining Board: Prof. Alan Cafruny (supervisor; Hamilton College and EUI) ; Prof. Gerd Junne (external supervisor; University of Amsterdam) ; Prof. Colin Crouch (EUI) ; Prof. Frederick Buttel (University of Wisconsin)PDF of thesis uploaded from the Library digitised archive of EUI PhD theses completed between 2013 and 2017This thesis explores the changing role of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), one of the biggest stumbling blocks to European integration, enlargement, and multilateral trade agreements. Marjoleine Hennis offers a unique perspective by focusing on the interaction between European integration and domestic politics. She analyzes the different levels of policymaking in the EU and applies a comparative analysis of interest intermediation in three important member states: France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Utilizing a political economy lens, the author draws a comprehensive picture of the structural changes in European agricultural policymaking by tracing the impact of globalization and the related changes in European regulation on the key actors in the CAP. Illuminating the dynamics and apparent contradictions of the CAP, this study offers valuable perspective on the contours of future European integration
Network competition for European telecommunications
No full textExamining board: Jörn Kruse, University of Hohenheim ; Stephen Martin, EUI, supervisor ; Roger Noll, Stanford University ; Louis Phlips, EUI ; George Yarrow, Oxford UniversityDefence date: 7 June 1993First made available online: 31 May 2016The telecommunications industry is in the throes of rapid technological and regulatory change. Markets for terminals and services have been liberalized, and only the provision of networks has remained under the control of national operators. This book analyses from an economist's point of view the benefits which may be expected from the introduction of network competition in Europe, and describes how competition can be reconciled with social objectives. The author first looks at the latest technological developments and discusses the impact of new transmission systems such as mobile phones and satellites, and the convergence of broadcasting and telecommunications. He goes on to weigh up the arguments for and against network competition, looking in particular at the natural monopoly view and at universal service. The third part of the book compares policy in Europe and the USA, with a detailed analysis of the European Commission's approach, and an up-to-date view of the regulatory frameworks in five European member states. Finally, the author sets out a strategy for network competition in Europe which takes into account both the latest developments and the characteristics of the European environment
The post-communist tripartition 1990-2005 : contrasting actor-centred and structural explanations
No full textDefence date: 28 September 2007Examining Board: Prof. Peter Mair (EUI); Prof. Herbert Kitschelt (Duke University); Prof. Leonardo Morlino (Istituto Italiano di Scienze Umane); Prof. Laszlo Bruszt (EUI Supervisor)First made available online: 5 September 2009This dissertation seeks to explain the divergent political pathways of twenty six post-communist states, following the breakdown and eventual collapse of communism in 1989-1991. Considering the trajectories of individual states between 1990 – 2007, this dissertation challenges two central bodies of theory relating to democratization and regime change. Through a sustained analysis of global and post-communist developments within this time period, the author shows that claims of an increasing asymmetry between the ‘electoral’ and ‘liberal’ elements of modern democracy have been greatly exaggerated. The author goes on to contend that in accounting for the geographical dispersion of post-communist regime forms, deeper structural factors should be considered as crucial. The dissertation is divided into the following parts: * Part I demonstrates how different conceptualisations of democracy can lead to very different conclusions about the empirical dynamics of democratization. * Part II contrasts different explanations of post-communist political change and provides an integrated framework for explaining the political pathways encountered within the former Eastern Bloc. This dissertation will be of interest to students and scholars of post-communist studies, democratization studies, comparative politics and regime change
