Cultural Citizenship in India: Politics, Power, and Media

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

The volume explores discursive plurality and the monopolization of interpretation as the poles from which inclusion in and exclusion from the national community are negotiated. By interfacing political science’s interest in the power of institutions and cultural studies’ focus on the power of discourse, the author is able to investigate into the ways in which citizenship manifests itself—and is contested—outside the institutional realm, thus revealing conceptual relativity, ruptures, and creative re-interpretations of citizenship.

I thereby aim to offer a revised account of what counts as a feasible action. In particular, I argue that we can best preserve the spirit of what is known as the conditional account of feasibility if we move to what I call the constrained account.

The international dimension of drug policy reform in Uruguay

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

This paper shows that, when, and, how international factors and actors contributed to Uruguay's drug policy reform process.  Two ways in which the international dimension manifested itself are identified.  First, as drug policy debate around the world changed, the context for reforms in Uruguay evolved.  This resulted in a rather mixed international reaction to Uruguay's reform proposal.  Second, international actors became directly involved in the process.  Drug policy experts informed and legitimated cannabis reform and transnational advocates supported campaignin
