Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to investigate the Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) employed by international students who are studying English as a second language at the English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students Program (ELICOS) of the University of Canberra College English Language Centre (UCCELC) in Australia. A qualitative design was used to gather information from six international students from different countries including Indonesia, China, Philippine, and Japan by using interviews. The results from the interview were then analyzed and presented by using the qualitative research procedures including coding, grouping, argument construction, and drafting. The finding of this research revealed that students at the ELICOS program employ various VLS including cognitive, metacognitive, memory, and social strategies. Cognitive strategies are identified as the most popular strategies used by the students, followed by metacognitive and memory strategies respectively and social strategies are recognized as the least popular. These findings have important implications in improving the quality of language teaching and learning process and enriching the research repertoire in the field of VLS.

Abstract:

Video in the classroom has been used mainly as source material for teacher and student exploitation. It is also used to a lesser extent as a medium for oral language development and self-evaluation where the content of the video is the learner’s own performance. This second use involves camera-work and providing feedback on learner performance. This paper, based on a video programme conducted in an ESP course for Thai Government Officers over 2 years at the ELICOS Centre University of Sydney, argues that video is still under-utilised and can play a more integral role in programme development. We discuss how a more systematic approach to using video can develop learner self-monitoring strategies and communicative competence in a range of contexts.

Abstract:

Abstract Employing an ecological framework, this study explores learners’ visual representation of their language learning practices and environments beyond the classroom in an Australian context. Specifically, this study’s aim is to better understand the features of individual language learning environments, the role of self-reflection, and the affordances involved in the construction of these environments. One hundred and seventy international students enrolled in English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) in Sydney drew mind maps on “Activities to improve my English in Australia.” The mind maps were analyzed thematically using NVivo 11 software and subsequent themes were developed. Findings showed individual differences in features of language learning environments, learners’ perceptions of their affordances, and insight into the degree of learner agency as seen from the visualization. This article closes by discussing the implications for using such visual materials in second language pedagogy in order to understand student language learning beyond the classroom.

Abstract:

Abstract Somatic mutations in cancer cells can give rise to new MHC epitopes referred to as neoepitopes. Neoepitopes have been clearly demonstrated to elicit an antigen specific T cell response, which are capable of mediating targeted killing of cancer cells. Despite recent advancements, exactly what criteria make a good neoepitope for personalized therapy is currently unknown. Here, using a syngeneic tumor of C57BL/6 mice, named FABF, we present results of an exhaustive and exhausting study where we have tested hundreds of long peptides each containing a single nucleotide variant (SNV) (with the mutation in the center of the peptide) for their ability to elicit tumor rejection and independently, CD8+ T cell response. We observe that (i) about 2% of all SNVs lead to generation of peptides that can mediate tumor rejection to any significant degree; (ii) each peptide alone elicits a modest protection, and a combination elicits stronger protective immunity, (iii) all the neoepitopes that elicit tumor rejection have poor binding affinity for MHC I, and have positive values for Differential Agretopic Index (1). (iv) Even though the protective responses are CD8-mediated, there is no correlation between a neoepitope’s ability to elicit a CD8 response and tumor rejection. Some of these observations are inconsistent with some aspects of the current consensus about the defining characteristics of good neoepitopes.

Abstract:

The main barrier to reduction of morbidity caused by influenza is the absence of a vaccine that elicits broad protection against different virus strains. Studies in preclinical models of influenza virus infections have shown that antibodies alone are sufficient to provide broad protection against divergent virus strains in vivo. Here, we address the challenge of identifying an immunogen that can elicit potent, broadly protective, antiinfluenza antibodies by demonstrating that immune complexes composed of sialylated antihemagglutinin antibodies and seasonal inactivated flu vaccine (TIV) can elicit broadly protective antihemagglutinin antibodies. Further, we found that an Fc-modified, bispecific monoclonal antibody against conserved epitopes of the hemagglutinin can be combined with TIV to elicit broad protection, thus setting the stage for a universal influenza virus vaccine.

Abstract:

AIDS is a preventable disease. Nevertheless, according to UNAIDS, 2.1 million individuals were infected with HIV-1 in 2015 worldwide. An effective vaccine is highly desirable. Most vaccines in clinical use today prevent infection because they elicit antibodies that block pathogen entry. Consistent with this general rule, studies in experimental animals have shown that broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 can prevent infection, suggesting that a vaccine that elicits such antibodies would be protective. However, despite significant efforts over the last 30 years, attempts to elicit broadly HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies by vaccination failed until recent experiments in genetically engineered mice were finally successful. Here, we review the key breakthroughs and remaining obstacles to the development of active and passive HIV-1 vaccines.

Abstract:

Brain activity knowledge of healthy subjects is an important reference in the context of motor control and reeducation. While the normal brain behavior for upper-limb motor control has been widely explored, the same is not true for lower-limb control. Also the effects that different stimuli can evoke on movement and respective brain activity are important in the context of motor potentialization and reeducation. For a better understanding of these processes, a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to collect data of 10 healthy subjects performing lower-limb multijoint functional movement under three stimuli: verbal stimulus, manual facilitation, and verbal + manual facilitation. Results showed that, with verbal stimulus, both lower limbs elicit bilateral cortical brain activation; with manual facilitation, only the left lower limb (LLL) elicits bilateral activation while the right lower limb (RLL) elicits contralateral activation; verbal + manual facilitation elicits bilateral activation for the LLL and contralateral activation for the RLL. Manual facilitation also elicits subcortical activation in white matter, the thalamus, pons, and cerebellum. Deactivations were also found for lower-limb movement. Manual facilitation is stimulus capable of generating brain activity in healthy subjects. Stimuli need to be specific for bilateral activation and regarding which brain areas we aim to activate.

Abstract:

The process of second language vocabulary acquisition (L2VA) is investigated by looking at the learning, teaching, learner and environmental factors that affect the ways that adult Vietnamese learners of English acquire, store and use words. Data were collected by examination of informants' diaries, recorded classes, free conversations, interview-questionnaires and regular interviews during the English program. The data show that the process of building up the mental lexicon is slow, long and complicated. For adult learners coming from different English and job backgrounds, full time classroom learning is the biggest and most important source of L2 word input. It is also in this environment that the word storage and recall mechanisms are most facilitated. The L2VA process varies according to individual learners at different levels, with different learning goals, motivations, determination, areas of interest and word learning methods. It is hoped that the findings of the study help increase Vietnamese teachers' awareness of how to teach English vocabulary effectively and how to help learners work out individually suitable word learning methods.

Abstract:

Si bien una considerable literatura afirma que las democracias tenderían a redistribuir el ingreso de ricos a pobres, incluso desde un punto de vista meramente procedimental, existe evidencia que apunta a señalar lo contrario: los regímenes democráticos pueden mantener e incluso acentuar la desigualdad, rasgo aún más evidente en países pobres o en vías de desarrollo. Esta tesis busca enfatizar un factor importante que interviene significativamente en la manera en que el ingreso se distribuye en contextos democráticos: el tipo de relaciones que las elites establecen. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo explorar hasta qué punto las relaciones de la élite afectan la redistribución del ingreso en contextos democráticos y de alta concentración de ingresos. Tres hipótesis guían el desarrollo de esta tesis. En primer lugar, si las élites establecen relaciones cohesivas con i) las élites políticas, por una parte, y ii) con las élites militares, por otra parte, menor será la posibilidad de que el ingreso se redistribuya. Así mismo, entre más conflictivas sean las relaciones entre las élites terratenientes y la burguesía, mayor posibilidad de redistribución. Tomando países durante períodos de tiempo específicos como unidades de análisis, esta investigación usará el Análisis Histórico Comparado (AHC) como aproximación metodológica. Siguiendo el diseño de casos muy similares, El Salvador y Honduras fueron seleccionados como los casos a comparar. Tres maneras de abordar los casos fueron consideradas. En primer lugar, usamos el rastreo de procesos para buscar explicaciones causales en la historia. En segundo lugar, dividimos los casos en tres períodos de tiempo diferentes, coincidiendo éstos con momentos coyunturales en la historia de los casos, un uso muy frecuente en la técnica de rastreo de procesos. En tercer lugar, codificamos las preferencias de los actores hacia programas de amplia redistribución que se implementaron o que se buscaba implementar durante tales momentos coyunturales. Nuestras hipótesis fueron confirmadas. Sin embargo, mientras las dos primeras se muestran como condiciones potencialmente suficientes, la tercera condición parece ser una condición del caso, mas no suficiente. Palabras claves. Amenazas redistributivas en democracia; Redistribución del Ingreso; Cohesión intersectorial de la élite; Conflicto intersectorial de la élite; Economía Política
Despite the existence of a sizable body of literature claiming that democracy would tend towards income redistribution, even from a merely procedural perspective, there is evidence that points in the opposite direction: democratic regimes can maintain—even accentuate—inequality, more obviously so in poor or developing countries. This thesis wants to emphasize one important factor which strongly intervenes in the way income is allocated under democracy: the type of relationships the elites establish. This research aims to explore the extent to which elite’s relations affect income redistribution under contexts of democracy and of high income concentration. Three hypotheses guide the development of this thesis. Firstly, if the economic elites establish cohesive relationships with i) the political elites, on the one hand, and ii) the military, on the other hand, the less the likelihood of income redistribution. Moreover, iii) the more conflictive the relations between the landed elites and the bourgeoisie are, the lower the likelihood of redistribution. Taking countries during certain periods of time as units of analysis, this research will use comparative historical analysis (CHA) as its methodological approach. Using the most similar cases design, El Salvador and Honduras were selected as the cases to compare. Three ways to approach the cases were also considered. Firstly, we use process tracing in order to look for causal explanations in history. Secondly, we break each case in three different periods of time, coinciding such periods with critical junctures of the cases, a very frequent use in process tracing. Thirdly, we codify the preferences of the actors towards wide redistributive programs which were either implemented or planned during those junctures. Our hypotheses were confirmed. However, while the two first hypotheses are displayed as potential sufficient conditions, the third one seems to be only condition of a case.

Abstract:

Cette thèse est composée de trois chapitres. Chacun traite de l'un des aspects du rapport entre élites, définies par leur contrôle de la mise en oeuvre des politiques publiques, et développement, en particulier dans ses dimensions économiques et politiques. Elle met en valeur deux éléments : la structure économique de la société - qui contrôle quels actifs de production, et l'articulation entre différents détenteurs d'actifs au sein du processus de production - et l'environnement extérieur dans lequel s'inscrit une entité politique. Le premier chapitre propose un nouveau cadre dans lequel modéliser les conflits et les institutions de protection de la propriété privée. Celui-ci permet de mettre en valeur le rôle des complémentarités éventuelles entre actifs de production. Le deuxième chapitre examine le rôle de la mobilité des agents et de leurs actifs de production - exit, aurait dit Albert Hirschman - dans la détermination des politiques publiques. Les politiques publiques favorisent les détenteurs d'actifs les plus mobiles. En retour, ceux-ci s'enrichissent, et accèdent plus facilement à l'élite. Ce chapitre montre ensuite que ce mécanisme favorise les régimes patrimoniaux dans les pays en développement, et génère les conditions de l'existence des paradis fiscaux. Le troisième chapitre part du postulat qu'une guerre civile peut favoriser le déclenchement de guerres civiles dans les pays voisins. Le modèle permet d'expliquer le regroupement spatial et temporel des conflits, ainsi que plusieurs observations. En particulier, un pays souhaitant éviter la contagion d'une guerre civile a le choix d'améliorer ses institutions de propriété privée
This dissertation is composed of three chapters. Each covers one aspect of the role of elites, defined by their control over the implementation of public policies, and development, particularly in their economic and political dimensions. It emphasizes two aspects: the economic structure of society—who controls which productive assets, and how they can be combined in the production process—and the external environment of a given political entity. The first chapter offers a new framework in which to model conflicts and property rights institutions. This framework uncovers the role of the complementarity between various productive assets. The second chapter examines the role played by the mobility of productive assets—their exit option, would have said Albert Hirschman—in the determination of public policies. These favor the owners of the more mobile asset over those of less mobile ones. As a result, the former get richer, and it is easier for them to reach elite status. This chapter then argues that this mechanism accounts for the stability of the patrimonial elites in developing countries, and is at the heart of the existence of tax havens. The third chapter starts from the observation that civil war are contagious: civil war in one country may spill over to its neighbors. The model explains the spatial and temporal clustering of conflicts, as well as several observations. In particular, to avoid contagion from a neighboring civil war, a country may be in the position to improve its property rights institutions. It also offers a framework to discuss the motivations of foreign intervention in fragile regions

Abstract:

Dissertation thesis analyses the ideological processes of art discourse in the last decade of the 20th century – the formation and decline of different value related and ideological orientations, and their correlation, which makes an influence upon the changing conception of art and artist. These processes are analyzed referring to the reviews of the exhibitions of the discussed period, the exhibitions themselves, the declarations by the artists, who actively participated on the art scene, and their works, which were shaping the public art life. A separate attention is devoted to various layers of the artistic field – to the sociopolitical context, the works of art, the institutional exhibitions, and to the texts in cultural periodicals. The main aim of the thesis is to make a thorough analysis of the ideological and value related changes, which took place in the Lithuanian art discourse in the 1990s, and by underlining the artistic, institutional and sociopolitical contexts to reveal the changing content of symbolic constructions and their influence on the struggles for legitimization in the artistic field. The tasks of the research are: to define the role of the postsoviet intellectual (artist) in the Lithuanian art processes during the Rebirth period and in the years of independence; to explore the forms of politics of memory, which were established in the public discourse; to define the specificity of the concept of ideology in the postsoviet society; to analyze the...

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é empreender uma avaliação do uso da internet pelas elites parlamentares de todos os estados brasileiros nos vários níveis e dimensões em que se dá esse uso. A partir das idéias de modos de concretização da democracia e de “graus de representação” buscaremos avaliar as várias dimensões da utilização das novas tecnologias pelas elites parlamentares brasileiras. Inicialmente, efetuamos um exame do grau de informação sobre o perfil social, a trajetória política, o comportamento parlamentar e a “inclusão digital” de tais elites, e elaboramos um indicador para avaliar o “grau de accountability” sobre os deputados estaduais apresentados em cada casa legislativa. Em seguida, faremos uma análise da relação entre os diferentes padrões de recrutamento dos deputados estaduais e de sua relação como o tipo de uso da web pelos deputados. Em terceiro lugar, uma análise de conteúdo dos websites dos deputados usuários da internet, a fim de mapear algumas experiências mais avançadas de participação e deliberação online. As principais hipóteses ou proposições que norteiam o presente enfoque são as seguintes: (i) há uma acentuada desigualdade no grau de disponibilização de informações e erramentas que possibilitem uma maior responsabilização (accountability) dos deputados nas diferentes casas legislativas; (ii) embora possamos detectar uma “fratura digital”(digital divide) no uso da internet pelos diferentes grupos de deputados na última legislatura, as variáveis políticas também devem ser levadas em conta para explicar os diferentes padrões de uso da internet pelos deputados estaduais brasileiros; (iii) apesar de mídias sociais tais como twitter, facebook e Orkut terem se difundido com relativa intensidade entre os deputados estaduais na última legislatura, ainda são raros casos bem sucedidos de processos participativos e deliberativos mais profundos a partir dos usos das ferramentas digitais.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Economics, 2010.
"September 2010." Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 146-157).
This dissertation consists of three essays on the behavior of political elites and their effect on economic development. The first two chapters focus on political dynasties in the Philippines while the third chapter analyzes the long-run economic effects of the concentration of political power in the state of Cundinamarca, Colombia. In Chapter 1, I use a regression discontinuity design based on close elections to estimate the causal effect of entering the political system on dynastic persistence. I find that candidates who barely win their first election are four times (22 percentage points) more likely to have a future relative in office than those who barely lose and never serve. The magnitude of the effect is remarkable and substantially larger than the effect on the intensive margin reported by Dal Bo, Dal Bo and Snyder (2009) for the United States. These results suggest that the prevalence of dynastic politicians does not simply reflect the existence of a fixed set of historically powerful families, but rather that the political system itself creates persistence. In Chapter 2, I study whether the introduction of term limits in 1987 by the Philippine Constitution was effective at breaking the dynastic pattern in Philippine politics documented in chapter 1. In particular, I explore the potential countervailing effects created by dynasties in response to the introduction of term limits: (1) replacement of term-limited incumbents by relatives and (2) running for a different office. I find that term limits are not effective in reducing the probability that the same family remains in power both in the short and long-run. Moreover, term limits made incumbents safer in their early terms before term limits bind, by deterring high-quality challengers who prefer to wait for the incumbent to be termed-out and run in an open-seat race. These results suggest that political reforms that do not modify the underlying sources of power of dynasties will be ineffective in changing the political equilibrium. In Chapter 3, which was co-authored with Daron Acemoglu, Maria Angelica Bautista and James Robinson, we explore the relative importance of political and economic inequality in explaining long-run development outcomes in the state of Cundinamarca, Colombia. Using micro data on land ownership we find that municipalities that were more unequal in the 19th century (as measured by the land gini) are more developed today. However, we argue that political rather than economic inequality might be more important in understanding long-run development paths and we document that municipalities with greater political inequality, as measured by political concentration, are less developed today. We also show that during this critical period the politically powerful were able to amass greater wealth, which is consistent with one of the channels through which political inequality might affect economic allocations. Overall our findings shed doubt on the conventional wisdom and suggest that research on long-run comparative development should investigate the implications of political inequality as well as those of economic inequality.

Abstract:

This paper presents an empirical case study of the company Elicom AB. Elicom AB is producing electrical devices that are mostly used in the telecom market where the main customers are. The data that was collected from this case was collected through observations, interviews and the study of company documents. This allowed the author to compare secondary and primary data, as well as quantitative and qualitative information. The problem, the company is facing in the logistical field, was discovered in the labeling production process.

The production of the labels is unnecessarily complicated and inefficient due to incompatibility of the computer systems. Therefore some parts of the label design have to be made manually, even though the company has a scanning system. When analyzing the problem in detail it became clear to the author that it could be fixed easily and fast and that the key individuals involved in the process already knew the answer to the problem. Therefore the question of the underlying cause of the problem arose. Why has the company not yet fixed the problem if it is so obvious and also everybody in the organization is aware of it?

When further reanalyzing the problem, the author discovered a second problem, which was not lying in the logistics of the production process, but had its roots in the organizational structure. The problem of interfering authorities and responsibilities made it impossible for the company to overcome the changes needed to solve the logistical problem in the labeling production process. Therefore this problem must be addressed first, together with overcoming the obstacles to change in the organization, to make a problem-solving-process in the logistical area possible.

In general this paper shows the interrelation of logistics with organization and the highly complex environment manufacturing companies are facing when it comes to changes in the production process.

Denna uppsats är en empirisk fallstudie som gjordes på Elicom AB. Elicom AB är en tillverkare av elektrisk apparatur som till mestadels används inom Telecom-marknaden, vilket också är den marknad som de flesta av företagets kunder finns inom. Den data som författaren samlat in är igenom observationer, intervjuer samt analys av olika interna företagsdokument. Detta gjorde att författaren kunde jämföra sekundär-och primär-data samt kvalitativ-och kvantitativ-data. Problemet som företaget hade framför sig var av logistisk karaktär och upptäcktes i etikettproduktionsprocessen.

Produktionen av etiketter är onödigt komplicerad och ineffektiv pga icke kompatibla datasystem. Därför sker visa delar av skapandet av etiketter manuellt, även om företaget har ett scanning system. Efter viss analys blev det dock klart för författaren att problemet var lätt att ordna upp och att huvudpersonerna som var involverade, i etikett hanteringen, visste om att problemet var lätt löst men gjorde inget åt situationen. Detta ledde till att författaren fråga sig vad den underliggande orsaken, till detta problem, kunde vara. Varför har inte företaget gjort något åt problemet om det har varit uppenbart för dem att problemet existerar?

När all information sedan om analyserades, upptäckte författaren ett andra problem vilket inte var inom logistikområdet utan hade sina rötter i organisationens struktur. Problemet med överlappande auktoritet, samt ansvarsområden, gör det omöjligt för företaget att lösa deras logistiska problem inom etiketthanteringen. Därför måste detta problem ses över först, samtidigt som inställningen till förändring måste ändras för att göra det möjligt att skapa en ”problem-lösnings-process” i den logistiska delen.

Abstract:

Military intervention in internal conflicts represents a recurrent practice in international history. This thesis provides a theoretical framework for the study of the political and sociological processes that lead political elites to militarily intervene in internal conflicts. Following the renewed interest in political elites both in Sociology and International Relations, the thesis draws on Elite Theory to address the dual nature of political elites as both domestic and international actors. In doing so, it develops a framework for the study of military intervention centred on political elites that overcomes the limits of existing contributions on the subject. In particular, the thesis highlights how interventionary policies are shaped by three overlapping causal antecedents: elites’ contending ideological claims; elites’ struggle for both domestic and international power; and the relationship established by the intervener’s elite with elite and counter- elite groups in the target state. The thesis tests the plausibility of the proposed framework by examining US decisions in three cases: US intervention in the Cuban War of Independence (1898-1902); US intervention in the Russian Civil War (1918- 1920); and US non-intervention in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). This analysis highlights three elements. First, ideological considerations set significant limits to US cooperation with leaders in the target country despite the strategic rationale for cooperation against common enemies. Second, the interplay between international and domestic political considerations represented a fundamental ‘push factor’, shaping the objectives US elites sought. Third, foreign elite groups played a crucial role in ‘pulling’ US interventions, both by representing local allies instrumental to Washington’s objectives and by directly accessing and influencing US decision-making processes. For the same reasons, the lack of these push and pull factors are key to explaining US non-intervention in the Spanish case. Overall, the thesis offers a twofold contribution to the study of military intervention. First, it explores how military intervention permits decision- makers to affect the ‘circulation of elites’ in both their own societies and in other societies. Second, it indicates how military intervention affects the international system by altering ideological homogeneity, international alliances and hierarchical relations between elites.

Abstract:

Através de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, procuro identificar, descrever e analisar a composição, mutações e papeis das elites na sociedade portuguesa, nos últimos 40 anos do século passado, focalizando a atenção, numa cidade de média dimensão -Évora. Tal objectivo encaminha-me para a análise e discussão teórica em torno das questões urbanas e das cidades – as aproximações e afastamentos semânticos dos conceitos e as questões associadas à defesa de uma ruptura epistemológica que conduza a uma sociologia das cidades em detrimento da clássica sociologia urbana. Para a análise às composições e papeis das elites delimitei dois planos distintos onde as situei: o plano das elites de situação e o das elites de acção. Comum a esse percurso e de forma transversal procedo a uma verificação do grau de concretização dos pressupostos da modernidade. /***Abstract - Through an interdisciplinary perspective, I try to identify, describe and analyse the composition, mutations and the roles of the elites in Portuguese society, in the last 40 years of the past century, focusing attention, in a medium sized town - Évora. Such objective leads me to analysis and theoretical discussion about the urbane and cities questions the semantics approximations and distances of the concepts of the questions associated to the defence of an epistemological rupture that leads to a city's sociology to the detriment of classic urbane sociology. For analysis to compositions and roles of elites I delimited two distinct plans where I have placed them: the situation elites plan and the action elites plan. Common to that route and in a transversal way I precede to a verification of the realization degree of the modernity presuppositions.

Abstract:

Resumo: O objetivo dessa dissertação é fazer uma avaliação do uso das tecnologias digitais, especialmente daquelas tornadas possíveis pela internet (perfis online, websites e mídias sociais), pelos vereadores brasileiros da legislatura compreendida entre os anos de 2008 e 2012, concentrando-nos na segunda metade da legislatura e no período eleitoral. Buscaremos examinar as várias dimensões do uso da internet por este segmento das elites parlamentares, de modo a nos concentrar nos vereadores das capitais das regiões sul, sudeste e nordeste do Brasil, avaliando a utilização dos recursos digitais no cumprimento do mandato parlamentar. Para isso vamos procurar articular o estudo do uso das novas TICs pelos vereadores com algumas variáveis de background (contexto) e dos perfis socioeconômicos dos mesmos, a fim de caracterizar eventuais condicionantes desse processo. Trabalharemos com as seguintes hipóteses básicas: (i) vereadores com distintos perfis usam de forma desigual as tecnologias digitais, verificando-se uma fratura digital também no uso das novas tecnologias pelos vereadores brasileiros, de modo que os representantes dos estados e regiões com maior IDH e inclusão digital do eleitorado apresentem maior grau de uso de website e mídias sociais; (ii) devido aos incentivos institucionais vigentes no sistema político brasileiro (especialmente de seu sistema eleitoral), podemos observar um uso altamente personalizado dos recursos digitais pelos vereadores, embora tal uso personalizado não se distribua de maneira homogênea pelos diferentes partidos políticos e correntes político-ideológicas. Para demonstrar tais proposições, procuraremos aplicar uma metodologia sistemática de análise do uso das TICs pelos representantes pelo lado da "oferta", definindo inicialmente um indicador meramente quantitativo da magnitude dos recursos digitais utilizados pelos vereadores, analisando várias dimensões do uso da internet e das mídias sociais pelos representantes, e incorporando variáveis off-line para caracterizar subgrupos de parlamentares que usam a internet de maneira diferente. Dessa forma, vamos procurar caracterizar as diferentes estratégias de comunicação políticas empreendidas através das plataformas virtuais, bem como alguns dos condicionantes deste processo.

Abstract:

The world is urgently facing the need for a “green transformation”, involving not only a transition towards the use renewable energy and reduction of biodiversity loss, but a deep social change towards social justice and sustainability. Such action requires social compromises between elites and popular sectors that allow the building of strong institutions to implement changes. Latin America is faced with huge tasks to increase equality, justice and sustainability, but it also plays a pivotal role in the global green transformation. The region is further characterized by both strong elites, strong socio-environmental movements and deep environmental conflicts making social compromises difficult. This Working Paper discusses elite reactions to the most advanced regional agreement on environmental regulation and conflict resolution, the Escazù Agreement. In many countries, elites opposed it vehemently referring to national sovereignty, but particularly rejecting the institutional implications of the agreement involving a stronger compromise to allow popular participation. This was opposed by economic elites in democratic countries (Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Peru) as well as governmental elites in authoritarian countries (El Salvador and Venezuela). However, in various cases, elite opposition was overcome after popular mobilization and dialogue. The paper discusses what we can learn from elite reactions to the Escazú Agreement of importance for future social compromises as a basis for the emergence for transformative states in Latin America.
