No full textWith only about 8000 inhabitants, Arenys de Munt, the small stronghold of secessionist
forces near Barcelona, celebrated the first – symbolic, nonbinding – municipal referendum on Catalan independence in 2009 as an act of protest against the Constitutional
Court that ruled out the possibility of holding a referendum on self-determination.
Promoters could hardly imagine that a few years later, on 10 October 2017, the then
president of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, would step in front of the Catalan Parliament to declare unilateral independence – even if Puigdemont immediately put the
declaration on hold and it was never put into effect. While Catalonia’s immediate bid
for independence failed – secessions are indeed rare phenomena – polarization over the
territorial framework and the struggle for self-determination in Catalonia continued
Political Participation in a Globalized World
No full textSince the beginning of the Millennium, attention to globalization as well as transnational forms of political participation has grown. Economic globalization has been a main target for progressive social movements, which have held it responsible for changing material conditions, labor market dynamics, and increasing inequalities within and across nations. Cultural globalization has been instead targeted by regressive organizations that have mostly addressed the issue of migration. While some collective action frames have spread across countries, the forms and paths of internationalization of mobilizations have varied in time and for different actors, developing through paths of domestication, externalization, and transnationalization
The impact of intolerance on young people’s online political participation
Full text linkThis article investigates the impact of intolerance on online political participation among young Europeans. Based on the theoretical insights of (in)tolerance, political participation, youth, and media studies, we explore whether and to what extent intolerant attitudes drive young people’s online political participation. In doing this, we draw on original survey data with booster samples for young people, covering nine European countries. Our results show that intolerance leads to more online political activities among young people. However, these individuals are not socially isolated and marginalised; in fact, the effect of intolerant attitudes on online political engagement is reinforced by participation in offline unconventional forms of participation and social capital. Our findings bear important consequences for the understanding of intolerant attitudes, youth politics, and (online) political participation.This article investigates the impact of intolerance on online political participation among young Europeans.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
