The path and multi-level dependencies of three second-tier European cities – challenges to local social inclusion efforts
We present a distinct picture of the capacity of municipalities to act when faced with the challenges of migrants’ social inclusion, by applying the combined lens of path dependency and multi-level dependency to three second-tier European cities: Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Bologna (Italy), and Halle/Saale (Germany). Based on expert interviews, the case-oriented research addresses facets of local social inclusion policies: the adaptation to migration-…
Home heating transition in Finland, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom through the combined lens of energy democracy, energy citizenship and energy justice
What happens in schools stays in schools! A critical assessment of environmental education in Romanian local communities
Mapping societal resilience across eight European nations in the context of multifaceted associations with global indices
From compassion to controversy
Global conflicts and geopolitical tensions are causing mass displacement, making refugee integration a pressing issue. The aftermath of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine has resulted in over 5 million internally displaced Ukrainians and more than 8 million refugees settling across Europe. The success of their integration relies on the hospitality and attitudes of citizens of host nations. This study investigates factors influencing attitudes towa…
The European Green Deal and its translation into action
This paper explores the extent to which the concept of justice, embedded at the core of the European Union's public communications regarding its climate goals, is regarded coherently across governance levels. What do stakeholders across governance levels understand by justice and how is this reflected in their overall perceptions regarding the just transition? We aim to make both a conceptual and an empirically informative contribution by qualita…
Energy and the social contract
Throughout the last decade, the goal of acknowledging and alleviating energy poverty has made its way to the core of energy policies across the world, including the high‐standing SDG7 as a benchmark. While much debate is still devoted to conceptual and empirical clarifications, its measurement through indicators, or the appropriate policies aimed at tackling it, there is widespread acceptance that energy poverty impacts tens of millions of lives …
Addressing energy poverty through technological and governance innovation
The critical role of trust in experiencing and coping with energy poverty
Playing Their Cards Right
This article seeks to identify the determinants of ethnic parties’ access to coalition governments in Bulgaria, Romania, and Slovakia between 1990 and 2013. We conducted a cross-national and longitudinal analysis in which we took into account all the elections in which the ethnic parties gained parliamentary representation. With 21 cases over two decades—with the party at the election being the unit of analysis—and Qualitative Comparative Analysi…
The Interethnic Stalemate in Romania
The accommodation of ethnic diversity has played an important role in the development of the Romanian political system following the fall of communism. The first decade of transition witnessed a sinuous path of interethnic relations between the Romanian majority and the Hungarian minority, from violent clashes and implementation of minority unfriendly legislation to minority inclusion in the national government . The second stage, associated with…
Where Does the Mechanism Collapse? Understanding the 2008 Romanian Electoral System
Following six rounds of national parliamentary elections disputed under a closed-list PR system, in 2008 Romania adopted an electoral reform. The new system is triple-layered and combines proportional representation with voting in single-member districts. Its first use reveals discrepancies between the logic of proportional representation, for which it was chosen, and the produced results. By focusing on the system's functioning mechanisms, this …
Explaining Ethnic Mobilisation in Post-Communist Countries
The complex dynamics of inter-ethnic relations in post-communist countries leads to a puzzle: why do some ethnic minorities mobilise to obtain political representation whereas others do not? We use qualitative comparative analysis to capture complex causal patterns explaining the formation of ethnic parties and to analyse the combined effect of social, economic and political variables. Our article bridges a significant gap in the existing literat…
