the transition to democracy in chile, which took place under the rules established in the authoritarian constitution, led political parties and voters to align along an authoritarian/democratic divide. in the campaign for the constitutional plebiscite in 2022, some of those in favor of a new constitution linked their position to democratic values and labeled those opposed to the new draft as lacking

in the last fifteen years, hosting on airbnb has largely shifted from work done by individuals to work done by organizations. while this fact is well established in both academic and popular literature, relatively little is known about the organization of labor in such companies. although it has been argued that this is a platform-driven phenomenon, using participant observation from a case study of

the 2007 official proposition to suspend oil exploitation in the yasuní national park area of the ecuadorian amazon was received with astonishment and resistance across national and international power spheres. transforming entrenched visions and practices—even after their errors and ineffectiveness have been proven—will always be a complex task. the yasuní-itt initiative, which sought international

this paper provides a reflection on decolonial and feminist struggles in the brazilian amazon. less often categorized as a conflict-affected area, the amazon is, nonetheless, faced with constant violence, from feminicide to deforestation, land invasions and attacks on indigenous peoples. based on the unique training experience “advocacy in gender, race and ethnicity,” led by the instituto mulheres

the 1970s saw intense discussions among feminists about the patriarchal family. while radical feminists called for complete withdrawal from marriage and motherhood, others attempted to reconfigure the roles of parents and children in the light of feminism. a particularly vibrant discussion unfolded in the feminist magazine effe, published in rome between 1973 and 1982, evolving from a largely negative

the article examines the ukrainian courts’ enforcement of the ban on soviet propaganda. since russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, there has been an unprecedented surge in criminal cases and convictions involving the application of article 436-1 of the criminal code, introduced by the de-communization law of 2015. yet until 2022, this article accumulated only trivial criminal legal practice. i examine

this article investigates the functional dereliction of the druzhba cinema in comrat, the major city in the gagauz region of moldova. built in 1970, the cinema served as the city’s main cultural center, providing entertainment and a venue for social gatherings. in the early 1990s, it began playing a quasi-governmental role when the separatist gagauz republic—the first instance of gagauz political self-rule—was

this special issue stems from the 2022 association for the study of modern italy conference, reflecting on key turning points in modern italian history through the lens of ‘small histories’. drawing on contemporary international historiography and the contributions in the present volume, this introduction discusses how microhistorical, biographical and related approaches may challenge or refine dominant

this study introduces a novel approach to measuring the evolution of union power in latin america. using an original dataset covering ten dimensions of union activity across 17 countries from 1990 to 2020, it addresses shortcomings in prior research based on overly broad indicators or narrow case studies. in line with the specialized literature, factor analysis identifies four distinct dimensions of

following the french example, the meloni government has introduced the phrase ‘sovranità alimentare’ (sovereignty in food) into the title of the ministry of agriculture, and makes clear that it is engaging in a very determined effort to defend and promote the cultural heritage of italian cuisine on all fronts, at home and abroad. but the origins of this impulse go back to the 1980s and the arrival

this article analyses the relationship between italian feminism and mental health in the 1970s, focusing on turin. it explores the main theoretical debates that dominated feminist magazines and meetings during those years. in feminist groups and collectives, discussions about women’s wellness and illness began with the broader theme of health and knowledge of one’s body. however, they subsequently

this article examines gendered patterns of cabinet appointments and shuffles by african heads of state. while a handful of previous studies have systematically analysed how regime type influences cabinet reshuffles in african autocracies, the gender dynamics of cabinet survival and replacement in the region remain underexplored. using a cross-national dataset of 3,829 ministerial appointments from

lithuanian prisons are known for their communal dormitory-style living, informal prisoner hierarchies, and dispersed authority, with little staff presence in prisoner housing areas. in such an environment, some incarcerated women have developed a strategy to maintain their individuality and autonomy while resisting the pressure to conform to institutional identities by (re)constructing femininity.

kharkiv, an industrial and academic center of eastern ukraine, has transformed from a soviet heartland into a new post-soviet borderland, and since 2014, into a frontline city. as ukraine has been seeking to join the european union (eu) and north atlantic treaty organization (nato) and facing russian aggression, kharkiv has become a battleground of various civilizationalist discourses conceiving it

using cultural memory studies as my guiding framework, this essay explores how memories of the grenada revolution are shared across generations. arguing that the lack of education and the absence of public sites of memory result in the withholding of recollections of the grenada revolution, i analyze these issues in the context of the artistic representations of the grenada revolution as portrayed

what does the constant recurrence of “colony” and “colonization” as key concepts in nineteenth-century romanian public discourse reveal about the nexus between capital, development, civilization, nation, and state? the present article argues that, in the formative stages of romanian nation-state-building, anxieties regarding the perceived encroachment of (pan-)“german” expansionism were cast in explicitly

this thematic cluster examines the historical relevance of the rail and fluvial-maritime transportation infrastructure for nation-building and modernization of the romanian principalities (later romania) from the 1840s to 1914. since such transportation infrastructures were seen as both “progressive” and “disruptive,” their construction brought immense pressure on local decision-makers. the articles

in 1895, the romanian government entered into a contractual agreement whereby the french entrepreneur adrien hallier was tasked with the construction of modern port facilities in the black sea port of constanța. in due course, disagreements between the two partners intensified, ultimately resulting in the formation of an arbitration tribunal tasked with resolving the matter. during the dispute, political

the topoi of “corruption” and “colonialism” that emerged in nineteenth-century romania in connection to infrastructure projects and the anxieties related to the prominence of foreign capital therein converged into an anti-semitism that acted as a proxy to displace both. around 1900, an emerging far-right further radicalized this rhetoric, with alexandru c. cuza (1857–1947), nicknamed “the patriarch

romania progressed, in a short period of time, from an underdeveloped road network to a large railway infrastructure. within less than 15 years, starting in the mid-1860s, with a huge financial effort and exclusively with foreign capital, several concessions built the main railway network and junctions with the neighboring habsburg, ottoman, and russian empires. around 1,400 kilometers were completed

in 2016, ghana’s new patriotic party (npp) adopted innovative anti-rigging strategies as part of its successful campaign to defeat its main rival. this electoral vigilance system included a nationwide deployment of party agents, digitized parallel tabulation of results, and novel fundraising schemes. the move has been recognized in media and scholarly discussions. however, we still lack a deeper understanding

the roots of aggression and revolt in nigeria, as in many african countries, can be traced to urban areas. cities have also become vibrant environments where citizens openly express humour about their everyday lives, engage in ridicule regarding their economic and social challenges, and share jokes about society, government, and the credibility of institutional agencies in safeguarding lives and property

an enduring feature of rural tanzanian political life has been the organization of villages down to the 10-house cell (nyumba kumi kumi). the cell system was established in 1963 as the smallest unit of the single-party state to eradicate rural isolation and facilitate communication, security, and self-help. even after the 1992 turn to multipartyism, the cell has endured as a salient (though not static)
