Doelstelling: De doelstelling van deze thesis was om te ontdekken of Gordon Brown en Herman Van Rompuy de financiële crisis op een gelijkaardige manier aanpakken, en of "sound bites" prominenter aanwezig zijn in hun speeches dan traditionele retorische stijlfiguren. Middelen of methode: Een selectie van achttien speeches over de financiële crisis, gegeven door Gordon Brown en Herman Van Rompuy, werd geanalyseerd op inhoud en op stijlfiguren. Resultaten: Er werd ontdekt dat Gordon Brown en Herman Van Rompuy de financiële crisis op een gelijkaardige manier aanpakken door overeenkomsten in de socio-economische situatie van hun land. Het kon echter niet worden aangetoond dat in de geanalyseerde speeches zogenaamde "sound bites" prominenter aanwezig zijn dan traditionele retorische stijlfiguren.

Doelstelling: Deze thesis onderzoekt conceptuele metaforen in politieke speeches over the financiële crisis. Speeches van Herman Van Rompuy, Gordon Brown en Barack Obama werden onderzocht. De hypothese van deze scriptie luidt als volgt: De conceptuele metaforen gebruikt door de drie politici zullen grotendeels overeenstemmen aangezien de crisis wereldwijde gevolgen had. Middelen of methode: Eerst werd de relevante literatuur voor dit onderwerp uitgebreid bestudeerd om meer inzicht te krijgen in het onderwerp. Daarna werd een corpus van 26 speeches verzameld en werden de metaforen er uit gehaald. Deze metaforen werden ingedeeld in groepen van conceptuele metaforen. Resultaten: Zoals vooropgesteld was, gebruikten de politici bijna allemaal dezelfde conceptuele metaforen, zoals GOVERNMENT IS PROTECTION, ECONOMY IS A BUILDING, FINANCIAL CRISIS IS WAR, en nog veel meer. De meest gebruikte conceptuele metaforen werden daarna besproken en geïllustreerd met voorbeelden uit de speeches. Daarna werden de verschillen en overeenkomsten tussen de drie politici op het gebied van metafoorgebruik besproken.

Making, amending, and interpreting constitutions is a political game that can yield widespread suffering or secure a nation's liberty and prosperity. Given these high stakes, Robert Cooter argues that constitutional theory should trouble itself less with literary analysis and arguments over founders' intentions and focus much more on the real-world consequences of various constitutional provisions and choices. Pooling the best available theories from economics and political science, particularly those developed from game theory, Cooter's economic analysis of constitutions fundamentally recasts a field of growing interest and dramatic international importance. By uncovering the constitutional incentives that influence citizens, politicians, administrators, and judges, Cooter exposes fault lines in alternative forms of democracy: unitary versus federal states, deep administration versus many elections, parliamentary versus presidential systems, unicameral versus bicameral legislatures, common versus civil law, and liberty versus equality rights. Cooter applies an efficiency test to these alternatives, asking how far they satisfy the preferences of citizens for laws and public goods. To answer Cooter contrasts two types of democracy, which he defines as competitive government. The center of the political spectrum defeats the extremes in "median democracy," whereas representatives of all the citizens bargain over laws and public goods in "bargain democracy." Bargaining can realize all the gains from political trades, or bargaining can collapse into an unstable contest of redistribution. States plagued by instability and contests over redistribution should move towards median democracy by increasing transaction costs and reducing the power of the extremes. Specifically, promoting median versus bargain democracy involves promoting winner-take-all elections versus proportional representation, two parties versus multiple parties, referenda versus representative democracy, and special governments versus comprehensive governments. This innovative theory will have ramifications felt across national and disciplinary borders, and will be debated by a large audience, including the growing pool of economists interested in how law and politics shape economic policy, political scientists using game theory or specializing in constitutional law, and academic lawyers. The approach will also garner attention from students of political science, law, and economics, as well as policy makers working in and with new democracies where constitutions are being written and refined.

War, Memory, and the Politics of Humor features carnage and cannibalism, gender and cross-dressing, drunks and heroes, militarism and memory, all set against the background of World War I France. Allen Douglas shows how a new satiric weekly, the Canard Enchaîné, exploited these topics and others to become one of France's most influential voices of reaction to the Great War. The Canard, still published today, is France's leading satiric newspaper and the most successful periodical of the twentieth century, and Douglas colorfully illuminates the mechanisms of its unique style. Following the Canard from its birth in 1915 to the eve of the Great Depression, the narrative reveals a heady mix of word play, word games, and cartoons. Over the years the journal--generally leftist, specifically antimilitarist and anti-imperialist--aimed its shots in all directions, using some stereotypes the twenty-first century might find unacceptable. But Douglas calls its humor an affirmation of life, and as such the most effective antidote to war.
