Democratic epistemology and democratic morality: the appeal and challenges of peircean pragmatism
Does the wide distribution of political power in democracies, relative to other modes of government, result in better decisions? Specifically, do we have any reason to believe that they are better qualitatively – more reasoned, better supported by the available evidence, more deserving of support – than those which have been made by other means? In order to answer this question we...

A computationally efficient framework for automatic inertial sensor calibration
The calibration of (low-cost) inertial sensors has become increasingly important over the past years since their use has grown exponentially in many applications going from unmanned aerial vehicle navigation to 3D-animation. However, this calibration procedure is often quite problematic since the signals issued from these sensors have a complex spectral structure and the methods...

Trois modèles comparés de gestion urbaine de l’eau en Europe: régulation des services, gestion des réseaux et participation à la decision
La gestion des services d’eau urbains en Europe dépend d’une règle commune, la Directive Cadre sur l’Eau. Promulguée en 2000, cette directive européenne vise à moderniser et accroitre la soutenabilité de la gestion de l’eau en instituant des principes communs. Dans le cas des services d’eau, elle s’accompagne de directives sur les marchés publiques, la concurrence et la délégation....

Policy evaluation in parliament: interest groups as catalysts
Members of Parliament (MPs) request policy evaluations and use the resultant findings to inform law-making and hold the government to account. Since most elected representatives have developed strong ties to interest groups, one might wonder whether these privileged relationships influence MPs' parliamentary behavior. This study investigates how MPs' affiliations to groups...

Work opportunities and organizational commitment in international organizations
This article applies social exchange theory to investigate the relationships between work opportunities and organizational commitment in four United Nations agencies. It demonstrates that international civil servants who are satisfied with altruistic, social, and extrinsic work opportunities are more likely to declare high levels of organizational commitment. Furthermore, the...

Interest groups as multi-venue players
Whereas some recent studies underline interest groups’ strategy to specialize in certain venues when lobbying, we investigate under which conditions groups develop a multi-venue strategy. This study examines and compares groups' advocacy activities during three issues that were each debated in California and Switzerland. Empirical evidence shows that the policy issue at stake...

Economic context and attitudes towards the welfare state: the relationship between (perceived) unemployment risk and demand for social policy
Welfare states provide individuals with an insurance against a variety of risks. Therefore, how much an individual is exposed to these risks is expected to influence their support for social spending. In this chapter, we focus on the evolution of perceived unemployment risk and its relationship with attitudes towards social policy in Switzerland over the 1999–2014 period. Aggregate...

Europe’s Existential Crisis. Facing the Threats and Challenges
The European Union is in a state of emergency. The crisis it is facing today is a global one, rather than merely sector-specific as in the past. It therefore requires a global response, in other words at a political level. This is the central message conveyed by this selection of texts. Having presented some of the main challenges, both internal and external, with which the Union is...

The radical right, the labour movement and the competition for the workers’ vote
This article analyses the capacity of radical right parties to attract support from un-ion members in recent elections in Western Europe. It is argued that unionized vot-ers resist the appeals of the radical right better than non-union members. Using data from the European Social Survey 2010–2016, the article shows that union members are overall less likely to vote for the radical...

Questo capitolo intende illustrare più precisamente se e come le due ultime dimensioni hanno potuto...

The most reluctant country with regard to european integration
Switzerland is unique in its reluctance to join the EU. Indeed, all governments and parliaments in Europe have at least once in their history sought to become a member. This is not the case for Switzerland, which has never started accession negotiations and does not intend to do so soon. Currently the debate is between supporters of maintaining bilateral agreements with the EU and...
