We address this challenge with a multilingual sentiment-based approach and show that such a measure can effectively capture different types of parliamentary conflict. We also demonstrate that an automated translation of the dictionary yields valid results and therefore greatly facilitates comparative work on legislatures. Our applications show that a sentiment approach recovers government-opposition dynamics in various settings. The use of a simple, translatable sentiment dictionary opens up the possibility of studying legislative conflict in bill debates across languages and countries.}, language = {en} } @article{Galand, author = {Galand, Alexandre Skander}, title = {The Nature of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (and its Amended Jurisdictional Scheme)}, series = {Journal of International Criminal Justice}, volume = {17}, journal = {Journal of International Criminal Justice}, number = {5}, issn = {1478-1387}, doi = {10.1093/jicj/mqz051}, pages = {933 -- 956}, abstract = {This article shows that in the 20 years following the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court its nature has surfed on three waves. Building upon the Court's case law on the principle of legality and the immunity of state officials from non-party states, it shows that the Statute was initially conceived to be of universal nature, transcending the interests of all states. However, following a series of pushbacks, the Court revised this case law to rightly acknowledge that its Statute is first of all a multilateral treaty regulating the conduct committed in the territory and by nationals of its states parties. Yet, this second wave maintained the potential for the Statute to be universally applicable when the Court's jurisdiction is based on ad hoc declarations of acceptance or Security Council referrals. However, the journey to amend the Statute to define the crime of aggression and new war crimes might have made the prospects for universal application dependent upon universal ratification. This article argues that this third wave certainly evinces a novel shift towards state consent, but that direct and indirect forms of consent can still premise the Court's jurisdiction over situations concerning states which have not ratified the Statute or its amendments.}, language = {en} } @article{AuzVaca, author = {Auz Vaca, Juan}, title = {La Crisis Clim{\´a}tica y sus impactos en los Derechos: una Mirada en Clave Latinoamericana}, series = {Justicia Ambiental}, journal = {Justicia Ambiental}, number = {11}, issn = {0718-736x}, pages = {41 -- 47}, language = {es} } @techreport{AnheierKnudsenAntesetal., type = {Working Paper}, author = {Anheier, Helmut K. and Knudsen, Edward L. and Antes, Nicole and Hamad, Mariam and Kibwana, Aisha and Markovic-Vastag, Darinka}, title = {External Cultural Policy in International Comparison: Summary of the Report}, publisher = {Hertie School}, address = {Berlin}, doi = {10.48462/opus4-4503}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-45030}, pages = {94}, language = {en} } @article{MaricutAkbik, author = {Maricut-Akbik, Adina}, title = {EU politicization beyond the Euro crisis: immigration crises and the politicization of free movement of people}, series = {Comparative European Politics}, volume = {17}, journal = {Comparative European Politics}, issn = {1472-4790 (print), 1740-388X (electronic)}, doi = {10.1057/s41295-018-0113-6}, pages = {380 -- 396}, abstract = {This article explores the applicability of democratic functionalism as a theoretical framework explaining mechanisms of European Union (EU) politicization during immigration crises. Since most existing studies on the politicization of EU crisis situations focus on the Euro crisis, it is unclear if and how the politicization of EU immigration crises differs. Drawing on a 2011 crisis with legislative implications for the free movement of people in the Schengen Area, the article illustrates that immigration crises are politicized along exclusionary identities rather than along pro-/anti-European lines—as expected by democratic functionalism. Moreover, unlike in the Euro crisis, the 2011 case illustrates how the media can be instrumentalized by governments during immigration crises, with little political mobilization from the public. This case is relevant given the widespread politicization of the 2015 refugee crisis, which conversely attracted close media attention and caused serious public concern. As it stands, democratic functionalism is shown to lack a conceptualization of how much and for how long an issue needs to be contested in the European public sphere for the mechanisms of EU politicization described by the theory to hold.}, language = {en} } @incollection{vanZebenBobić, author = {van Zeben, Josephine and Bobić, Ana}, title = {Conclusion - Pathways to Polycentricity}, series = {Polycentricity in the European Union}, booktitle = {Polycentricity in the European Union}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, address = {Cambridge}, isbn = {9781108528771}, publisher = {Hertie School}, language = {en} } @misc{vanZebenBobić, author = {van Zeben, Josephine and Bobić, Ana}, title = {Polycentricity in the European Union}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, address = {Cambridge}, isbn = {Online: 9781108528771, Print: 9781108423540}, doi = {10.1017/9781108528771}, pages = {340}, abstract = {Supranational governance is being challenged by politicians and citizens around the EU as over-centralized and undemocratic. This book is premised on the idea that polycentric governance, developed by Vincent and Elinor Ostrom, is a fruitful place to start for addressing this challenge. Assessing the presence of, and potential for, polycentric governance within the EU means approaching established principles and practices from a new perspective. While the debate on these issues is rich, longstanding and interdisciplinary, it has proven difficult to sidestep the 'renationalisation/federalisation' dichotomy. The aim of this volume is not to reject the EU's institutional structure but provide a different benchmark for the assessment of its functioning. Polycentric theory highlights the importance of multilevel horizontal relationships within the EU - between states, but also between many sub-state actors, all the way down to individuals.

One prominent strand of the debate argues that such acceptance can be enhanced by ensuring higher levels of compliance with the democratic standards of accountability and transparency. This article critically assesses this 'standards-support nexus' and its underlying assumptions. We suggest that three conditions need to be fulfilled for the argument to hold: (i) citizens are aware of the ECB and its design; (ii) citizens prioritise democratic standards over alternative motivations for acceptance; and (iii) citizens are able to differentiate between the ECB and the European Union's wider multilevel system. Drawing from the established literature on support for European integration and trust in the ECB and from descriptive Eurobarometer data, we conclude that these three conditions are unlikely to bear out empirically. Moreover, increasing the ECB's accountability and transparency in times of crisis and heightened politicisation could adversely affect the Bank's policy-performance and public image. Hence, whilst not questioning the normative desirability of accountability and transparency, we caution against assuming too easily that such democratic standards alone will enhance citizen support, and against assuming that they come without trade-offs.}, language = {en} }
