SUBNATIONAL OR REGIONAL PARLIAMENTS with legislative competences are increasingly active in EU affairs and are recognized as POTENTIAL ACTORS IN THE EUS MULTI-LEVEL SYSTEM BY EU LAW. However, studies on the territorial effects of European integration and on the Europeanization of parliaments as well as parliamentarism have so far disregarded this group of parliaments. In the existing theoretical concepts of multi-level parliamentarism subnational parliaments do not have a place until now. The book addresses this theoretical and empirical gap. Referring TO STUDIES ON PARLIAMENTARISM, FEDERALISM, AND EUROPEANIZATION the contributions discuss how to include subnational parliaments in the existing research. A total of 74 subnational parliaments from eight member states is affected by the new system, which allows them to participate in the so-called Early Warning Mechanism of subsidiarity control. The situation in six EU member states is analyzed in detail. The country chapters illustrate and analyze how subnational parliaments in the federal member states (Austria, Belgium, Germany) and in the decentralized/devolved ones (Great Britain, Italy, Spain) functionally adapt to the new opportunity structure and discuss the repercussions on legislative-executive relations as well as on interparliamentary relations.

De Pedro, o Grande, a Putin: entenda a Rússia através de sua dinastia mais implacávelSimon Sebag Montefiore, autor best-seller, traz-nos a extraordinária história da dinastia mais bem-sucedida dos tempos modernos. A familia que criou o maior imperio do mundo e perdeu tudo: Os Romanov. Os Romanov governaram a Russia como czares e imperadores durante trezentos anos. Atraves da força implacavel das suas personalidades, esta familia de autocratas peculiares, mas brilhantes, transformou um reino fraco e arruinado pela guerra civil num imperio que dominou a Europa. Pedro, o Grande, tirano bebedo e assassino, e Catarina, a Grande, a apaixonada princesa alem que destronou o proprio marido para se tornar a estadista mais notavel de uma epoca de ouro, foram os dois maiores governantes da Russia. Isabel, que tinha tanto de promiscua como de glamorosa, continuou a ascenso da Russia como potencia europeia; mais tarde, Pedro III e Paulo I, impotentes e desequilibrados, foram assassinados. Nicolau I censurou Pushkin e travou a Guerra da Crimeia com a Gr-Bretanha. Finalmente, Nicolau II e Alexandra, apesar do seu casamento feliz e da tragedia do seu filho hemofilico, revelaram-se demasiado ineptos para salvar a Russia da Grande Guerra e da Revoluço.Esta e a historia de como a Russia se tornou o pais que conhecemos atualmente.Simon Sebag Montefiore, autor bestseller de Jerusalem e O Mundo, mostra que o imperio dos autocratas e os seus pequenos grupos sempre dominaram a historia da Russia, desde o primeiro czar Romanov em 1613, passando pela magnificencia de Pedro e Catarina e o declinio de Nicolau II, ate aos czares vermelhos Lenine e Estaline no seculo XX e a presidencia autoritaria de Putin no seculo XXI.

Anyone talking about pictures by necessity refers to those using pictures. It is therefore essentially the competence of using pictures that has to be considered. Such competence is not common among higher developed mammals, at least as far as we know today. This fact raises the question whether and to what extent that ability has to be conceived as a strictly anthropological one. In an interdisciplinary approach, the first international conference of the Society for Interdisciplinary Image Science (GiB) titled Origins of Pictures has taken a closer look at the role of pictures for the conditio humana.The primary goal of the conference was to present empirical findings of the origins of picture uses, considering in particular research in paleo-anthropology, archeology, cultural anthropology, and developmental psychology. Furthermore, those findings were to be related to philosophical considerations concerning the conditions of the conceptual formation of picture competence.

With contributions from Lord John Alderdice, Deniz Aribog?an, Abdulkadir Cevik, Senem B. Cevik, Coline Covington, Robi Friedman, David Fromm, M. Gerard Fromm, Hiba Husseini, Aleksandr V. Obolonski, Ford Rowan, Regine Scholz, Edward R. Shapiro, Vamik D. Volkan The International Dialogue Initiative (IDI) is a private, international, multidisciplinary group comprised of psychoanalysts, academics, diplomats, and other professionals who bring a psychologically informed perspective to the study and amelioration of societal conflict. It aims to provide a reflective space to enable an understanding of how the emotional and historical background of hostile relations - often related to trauma - is being experienced in the present. By doing so, antagonists can overcome resistances to dialogue and facilitate the discovery of peaceful solutions to intergroup problems. This book brings together key members of the IDI to present the theory and practice of the important work they do. At its heart, the book holds the idea that, while traumatic experiences may happen to an individual or a family, they also affect society and large-group identity over long periods of time. In that way, trauma plays out between generations and between countries. The book is divided into three parts: theory, application, and methodology. Trauma is the key thread running throughout and the distinguished contributors investigate healing, dehumanisation, memory, the pandemic, war, terrorism, identity, culture, the law, justice, and religion, among many other fascinating topics. The authors bring in case studies from all over the world, including the United States, Northern Ireland, Russia, Israel, Turkey, Germany, Egypt, and Palestine. To make sense of these, they draw on a wide range of approaches: group relations theory, group analytic theory, psychoanalysis, large-group psychology, psychodynamic theory, psychology, economics, sociology, political science, history, journalism, and the law, to name but a few. This must-read book brings theory to vivid life and brings hope that our fractured world can learn to heal.
