Changing local elite selection in Thailand : emergence of new local government presidents after direct elections and their capabilities

Before rural local government units were established in Thailand, reform debates within the country faced a crucial issue: Candidates at the rural sub-district levels might adopt electioneering methods such as vote buying and the patronage system of the local political and economic elite, the methods that had been used in the national elections. In fact, the results of the 2006 survey in this paper, which followed the introduction of direct elections in rural local government units in 2003, contrast with the result anticipated during the debates on political reform. The preliminary data of the survey shows that the decentralization process and the introduction of the direct election system in the rural areas had some effect in changing the selection process of the local elite in Thailand.

Les defenses militars de la Guerra d'Espanya a Santa Pola

El capítulo inventaria y estudia los blocaos de defensa, los búnkeres y los asentamiento antiaéreos construidos por el ejército republicano hacia 1937-38 en el entorno de las playas desde el Tamarit al Carabassí y el cabo de Santa Pola, en los términos de Santa Pola y Elche (Alicante). Se trata de una primera aproximación para la puesta en valor de un patrimonio de arquitectura militar del siglo XX (de autoría anónima) que está degradándose y permanece olvidado, cuando no silenciado. Su recuperación es importante como monumento (documento) para que la historia no se vuelva a repetir. Se trata de un trabajo de inventariado, catalogación y valoración de piezas de arquitectura militar del siglo XX, como testigos de una época que no debe pasar al olvido. Se trata de un patrimonio que se inserta en las nueva sensibilidad ante el patrimonio surgido en la segunda mitad del s. XX: aquella que ensalza 'la vergüenza' y 'la calamidad' frente al heroísmo. Salvaguardar la 'memoria' para que los graves acontecimientos no se repitan.

The Great Transformation: Memo to the Incoming EU Presidents. Bruegel Policy Brief 2014/04, July 2014

The European Union’s leadership spent the last five years fighting an acute and existential crisis. The next five years, under your leadership, will be no less difficult. You will have to tackle difficult economic and institutional questions while being alert to the possibility of a new crisis. You face three central challenges: (1) The feeble economic situation prevents job creation and hobbles attempts to reduce public and private debt; (2) EU institutions and the EU budget need reform and you will have to deal with pressing external matters, including neighbourhood policy and the EU’s position in the world; (3) You will have to prepare and face up to the need for treaty change to put monetary union on a more stable footing, to review the EU’s competences and to re-adjust the relationship between the euro area and the EU, and the United Kingdom in particular.
