Maastricht Overcome: An Evolving Disconnect Between the ECB’s Power and Independence by Anna-Lena Högenauer, Joana Mendes

“…Many critical voices warned—long before the crisis—that the ideal of highly independent central banks with narrow technocratic mandates would not work in the long term and would come under particular pressure during periods of instability. Indeed, after over a decade of ongoing crisis, the ECB’s functions have expanded considerably, which in turn altered its relationship with other institutions and its role in the economic and political system of the European Union. …”

Physicalités en transition : le cas des barrages hydroélectriques dans les vallées alpines françaises by Emmanuelle Santoire, Jean Desroche, Romain Garcier

“…To answer this question, we use Philippe Descola’s distinction between materiality and physicality and apply it to a case study of the Sautet hydroelectric dam in the French Alps. Indeed, the European energy transition is partly based on the realization of a single liberalized market and the competitive renewal of dam concessions is a key step in this process. …”

L’écriture après l’écriture : Öyvind Fahlström, au prisme de la pensée de Vilém Flusser by Ludovic Bernhardt

“…Through the encounter of Flusser and Fahlström’s fields of reflexion and creation, we would like to stress the question of apparatuses in a redefinition of writing, leading to a recoding of art : indeed, in the second half of twentieth century, alphabetic writing seems to be on the threshold of radical transformations. …”

White Women and the Fight for Equality in the Southern United States (1920-1964) by Anne Stefani

“…If the modern Civil Rights Movement that led in a few years to the historic abolition of segregation by the federal government came as a surprise to many Americans at the time, as the so-called Solid South was adamant in its determination to maintain its racist institutions forever, it was indeed welcomed by a significant minority of southerners as the logical outcome of a painful reform movement that had started decades earlier in the region. …”

Playing the Game, or Not: Reframing Understandings of Children’s Digital Play by Magladry Madison, Willson Michele

“…Many of these fears, hopes, and hype are replaying older tropes that circulate around any new technology, media forms and associated changes in practices, but are amplified further by having children as their central focus. Indeed, all of these stakeholders in children’s futures have particular understandings of what is good for children and what an ideal child should be. …”

Accessibility, equity and the sharing of water resources by Rémi Schweizer

“…We examine these dimensions in three case studies with a view to highlighting the limitations of the aforementioned models. Indeed, despite their cooperative and endogenous nature, they tend to not only exclude certain members of the population, but also to reproduce rather than reduce social inequalities within the community. …”

Le pluralisme politique de l’Ouest canadien by Florence Cartigny

Le Parlement écossais et la démocratie participative by Annie THIEC

“…The Scottish Parliament and participative democracyThe Scottish Parliament set up in 1999 was designed to embody a new model of governance. Indeed the Constitutional Steering Group on the Scottish Parliament set up in November 1997 by the then Secretary of State for Scotland and whose remit was to prepare draft standing orders for the new institution, recommended in its report published in December 1998 that a “participative approach to the development, consideration and scrutiny, of policy and legislation” be adopted by the Scottish Parliament.As the people of Scotland are about to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their new devolved institution, can it be said that the ‘people’s parliament’ has lived up to its name?…”

Biochemical Analysis of Histone Succinylation by Atsushi Yokoyama, Shogo Katsura, Akira Sugawara

A Mathematical Analysis of Fractional Fragmentation Dynamics with Growth by Emile Franc Doungmo Goufo

“…We make use of the theory of strongly continuous solution operators for fractional models together with the subordination principle for fractional evolution equations (Bazhlekova (2000) and Prüss (1993)) to analyze and show existence results for a fractional fragmentation model with growth characterized by its growth rate r. Indeed, strange phenomena like the phenomenon of shattering (McGrady and Ziff (1987)) and the sudden appearance of infinite number of particles in some systems with initial finite particles number could not be fully explained by classical models of fragmentation or aggregation. …”

National Spatial Planning and the Constraints pertaining to the New Territorial Governance in Post-Revolutionary Tunisia by Mourad Ben Jelloul

“…And in order to reduce territorial inequity public authorities committed themselves on the one hand to major projects in the field of infrastructure and large-scale public facilities, on the other hand to deep-reaching institutional and legislative reforms namely by issuing and adopting the new Local Authorities Code and Urban Planning Code. Indeed, the analysis of the reconfiguration of territorial policies in Tunisia after 2011 is likely to allow us to highlight the difficulty of shifting from a highly centralized model to one that takes into consideration local authority players and citizen participation. …”

L’Art du détour selon Shakespeare : les déviations de Troilus and Cressida, d’Othello et de The Tempest by Sophie Alatorre

“…But not only is the dramatic world of the Elizabethan and Jacobean era based on stylistic erring, it is also deeply rooted in the art of perspective: we are continually made to change our points of view when we probe Shakespeare’s universes, teeming with deviant characters. Indeed, a labyrinthine scene necessarily echoes a problematic text. …”
