National Constraints and Scale Shift in Current Transnational Activism
Since Charles Tilly’s path-breaking work on the emergence of the modern pro- test politics during the historical transformation from an old to a new repertoire of contention (Tilly 1984, 1986 and 1995), social movements have been conceptualised as being inherently national or sub-national phenomena. Now, things seem to have changed. Over the past few years, transnational contention...

The Contentious Politics of Unemployment in Europe: Some Conclusions
This book has taken a look back at a difficult period for the labor market in order to inquire into the relationships between political institutional approaches to employment policy and political conflicts mobilized by collective actors over unemployment in the public domain. This is what we have called the contentious politics of unemployment. In more prosaic terms, we have looked...

Globalization and the Contentious Politics of Unemployment: Towards Denationalization and Convergence?
We are all inclined to think today that processes of globalization have a strong impact on national political structures and processes. Most commonly, we refer to a gradual transnationalization of economic, political and cultural reality at the national and local level that poses a challenge to national political institutions and public policies, political contentions and national...

Welfare States, Political Opportunities, and Claim Making in the Field of Unemployment Politics
The idea that the political context sets the parameters within which political participation and mobilization occur is quite common among scholars of collective action, but it has found only limited space among scholars dealing with the political activities of the unemployed. In this chapter, we assess the extent to which objects, positions, and forms of political claim making in the...

Les conséquences des mouvements sociaux
La question des conséquences des mouvements sociaux est un sujet essentiel, qui est cependant longtemps resté peu étudié en raison des nombreuses difficultés qu’elle soulève [Amenta, Caren, 2004 ; Earl, 2000 ; Giugni, 1998, 2008 ; Kowalewski et al., 1981 ; Rucht, 1992]. La complexité des configurations sociales et politiques, par nature multi- factorielles, rend en effet...

Generalized monotone additive latent variable models
For manifest variables with additive noise and for a given number of latent variables with an assumed distribution, we propose to nonparametrically estimate the association between latent and manifest variables. Our estimation is a two step procedure: first it employs standard factor analysis to estimate the latent variables as theoretical quantiles of the assumed distribution;...

EuroCow, the Calibration and Orientation Workshop (Euro- pean Spatial Data Research)
This research presents methods for detecting and isolating faults in multiple Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) configurations. Traditionally, in the inertial technology, the task Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) is realized by the parity space method. However, this approach performs poorly with low-cost MEMS-IMUs, although, it provides...

Goodness-of-fit for Generalized Linear Latent Variables Models
Generalized Linear Latent Variables Models (GLLVM) enable the modeling of relationships between manifest and latent variables, where the manifest variables are distributed according to a distribution of the exponential family (e.g. binomial or normal) and to the multinomial distribution (for ordinal manifest variables). These models are widely used in social sciences. To test the...
