Papers
Tracing the Gender Gap in Public Support for European Membership
I develop a theoretical framework which is designed to identify the roots of the gender gap. The preliminary results of my analyses indicate that material conditions and gender-specific socialization of men and women both play a role for the gender gap in public opinion on the EU.
The 2014 European Elections. New Players, New Rules, New Battlefield: A New Game?
With the aim of extending the existing literature on EP elections, the objective of this paper is to assess whether and to which extent the May 2014 elections differ from the previous voting. Against the background of the euro zone crisis and the spread of Euroscepticism, a study of sensitive proceedings in light of the electoral outcomes, will provide an interesting reflection on the rising importance of European issue in contemporary European politics.
It Walks Like a State and Talks Like a State But It’s Not a State: A Contribution to European Political Order Theory
This research addresses the issue of creating a comprehensive theory of EU’s territorial order construction. In an effort to determine the underlying conditions for the construction of a supranational shared political space, I am tackling the question: What do Europeans say about their community when they talk about the enlargement?
Florence in The Middle East – The Middle East in Florence: Old and New Challenges for Art History
This paper will show how major figures in the canon of European painting such as Masaccio have intriguingly and creatively dealt with these non-European artifacts in their artworks, thus questioning the ›Europeanness‹ of Italian art and the borders and the role of ›Europe‹ in the middle ages and early modern period.
Depictions of America in Humboldt’s Work: The Art Dialogue
Vues des Cordillères is a work from different contributions and disciplines, which creates a collective document of American space on the move, in a time when America and Europe were exchanging their world knowledge. This paper will explore the depiction of different cultures in one book, through the European imaginary.
The Inner Guide: Victor Burgin’s Exploration of European Topoï
In his most recent videos such as A Place to Read (2010), Burgin virtually rebuilds, thanks to computer technology, a past that has vanished. It is not merely an archeological gesture but a testimony of his 'will to art' (kunstwollen). Through Burgin's practice, this paper aims to interrogate the interactions between History and Memory in the European context.
Questions Leading to Re-Thinking of Democracy: The Sum of All Minorities is the Majority
Abstract: Dealing with diversity as a fundamental right not to be repressed by anyone, also not on the grounds of quantitative criteria, be it because of being "better" or because of being "more" – and less because of being "more – and, thus, better" (or "more right" because of an incidental majority), leads to rethinking some of the basic concepts of current understanding of democracy. Moreover, the same fundamental right of diversity, which in the end leads to all people being minorities and, thus, serving economy and prosperity with their different demand, dealing with d
Empirical Models for Analysis of the Black Economy
Despite the high number of paper analyzing the Black Economy, this is a difficult field to study. This paper analyzes several models used to evaluate the size of the black economy. Unlike the direct model approaches, as the currency demand approach, that are used to evaluate the black economy, empirical models offer an opportunity to analyze the black economy and corruption, as well as their interconnection.
