Resilience through a multisystemic perspective: Analyzing individual, family, and community systems
Couple-to-work spillover: Assessing work performance of individuals in a cross-sectional study
Early Bloomers in Intergenerational Family Solidarity: An Exploratory Study on the Phenomenon of Young Carers in Spain
Inherently, parents take care of their children until they become independent adults; similarly, children care for their progenitors in their old age. However, this socially normal order may be reversed when progenitors experience a chronic disease while their children are still young. This paper analyses the lived experiences of young caregivers (YCs) and how a family member's illness affects them. The present study employs the intergenerational…
Evoking ‘other countries’ in media discourses: The case of the Covid-19 pandemic in six countries
The COVID-19 pandemic did not only imply a spread of a virus, it also set in motion a series of global measures and discourses that likewise diffused worldwide. This article explores the global dissemination of knowledge and cross-national comparisons in the context of a global pandemic. We approach the question by analysing coverage of COVID-19 in newspapers published in Australia, Russia, Singapore, Tanzania, the United Kingdom, and the United …
Family Social Capital's Impact on the Family Stress Model: A Cross-Sectional Spanish Study During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article has a dual purpose. First, it corroborates the empirical evidence of the Family Stress Model (FSM) to the Spanish population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Second, this article contributes to extending the FSM by investigating the impact of Family Social Capital (FSC) on the well-established FSM. In other words, it assesses if families with high FSC, when affected by economic hardship and distress, avoid the deterioration of their inn…
Managing the crisis: International organisations’ responses to the Covid-19 pandemic as legitimation work
This paper analyzes legitimation practices of international organisations in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic. We analyse a sample of 252 major international governmental organisations (IGOs) and 250 international non-governmental organisations (INGOs), using information collected from their websites in September – December 2020. We seek to understand why the vast majority of both IGOs and INGOs responded to the crisis and what were the d…
Shadowboxing in silence: Balancing with European Semester guidelines in national parliamentary debates on economic policies
This article examines national responses to the introduction of a strong policy coordination tool by the European Commission: the European Semester. The tool was introduced in 2012 in reaction to the economic crisis to prevent unsustainable policy choices within EMU. It sets annual country-specific recommendations for economic policies, which the Member States are expected to implement when drafting national budgets. We study the uptake of the po…
Intergovernmental organizations in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic: Organizational behaviour in crises and under uncertainty
When Covid-19 broke out, many interpreted it as a crisis that would lead to fundamental changes in different areas of life. The article aims to assess whether this also applies to intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). By analysing the websites of a sample of intergovernmental organizations, we ask: How did the Covid-19 pandemic affect the behaviour of intergovernmental organizations? How can one explain this behaviour of intergovernmental organ…
The Spread and Domestication of the Term “Austerity: ” Evidence from the Portuguese and Spanish Parliaments
This article explores what happens when the term “austerity” becomes a global catchword. Specifically, we study how this term has been used in national policy making in the Portuguese and Spanish parliaments from the 1970s until recently. We show that although Portugal and Spain were in a somewhat different situation regarding the 2008 economic crisis, the increased popularity of the term austerity occurred practically simultaneously in the Portu…
Navigating coercion in political rhetoric: Shifting strategies to cope with intervention by the Troika in Portugal
This article examines how government actors of a nation-state cope with coercion exerted on them by an external source and how they evolve justifications and persuasive arguments when debating and reporting new policies in a setting that threatens to compromise national sovereignty and integrity. We approach the question by analyzing two diverse political arenas: parliamentary debates and public accounts by political leaders in the media during t…
Looking at others in national policy-making: The construction of reference groups in Portugal and Spain from 2008 to 2013
Why is it that when debating the economic crisis, actors in the Portuguese parliament invoke more frequently countries affected by the crisis, whereas actors in the Spanish parliament invoke economically well-off countries more often? This article explores this mystery by studying how and why certain countries are evoked in the decision-making process. The analysis reveals that the actors mention different countries to contextualize the nation. W…
