“…Other studies point in a similar direction (Berman 1997;Hagtvet 1980;Kaufman 1999;Koshar 1986;Kwon 2004). The research of Koshar (1986:96), Hagvet (1980), andBerman (1997) has effectively demonstrated that the Weimar Republic in Germany had a dense associational sphere.…”

What is the relationship between civic associations and authoritarian regimes? While Tocquevillian theories have concentrated mostly on the connection between civic associationism and democracy, this article develops a Gramscian approach, suggesting that a strong associational sphere can facilitate the development of authoritarian parties and hegemonic authoritarian regimes. Two countries are used for comparison, Italy from 1870 to 1926 and Spain from 1876 to 1926. The argument here is that the strength of the associational sphere in north-central Italy provided organizational resources to the fascist movement and then party. In turn, the formation of the party was a key reason why the Italian regime developed as a hegemonic authoritarian regime. The absence of a strong associational sphere in Spain explains why that regime developed as an economic corporate dictatorship, despite many similarities between the two cases.

“…Social capital is often viewed as having two main ingredients: resources and relations. Despite its popularity, the concept has been the subject of substantive critique (Kwon, 2004; Portes, 1998; Portes & Landolt, 2000). It has been stressed that interpretations of social capital that hold more than one variable that could be correlated need to be analytically separated and given independent empirical measures (Portes, 1998).…”

ResumenEl análisis de redes de actores de políticas públicas ha sido aplicado por la literatura en diferentes casos en los que se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de crear, en determinadas situaciones de gestión compleja, relaciones estables entre los actores intervinientes que no siempre son necesariamente de tipo formal. Analizar estas relaciones podría mejorar la propia gestión de las organizaciones públicas responsables de llevar a cabo las políticas públicas para la integración de los MINA. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo es plantear la posibilidad de aplicar el análisis de redes de actores con la finalidad de mejorar la integración final de los MINA en la sociedad española, a través del estudio de los actores intervinientes en el caso de la Comunidad Valenciana. Palabras clave: análisis de redes, menores inmigrantes no acompañados (MINA). AbstractSocial Network Analysis (SNA) has been applied by the literature in different cases in which it is highlighted the need to create, in certain situations of complex management, stable relations among the stakeholders when these relations are not formal. Therefore, to analyze these relations could improve the management of those public organizations responsible for carrying out public policies for the integration of the Unaccompanied Foreign Minors (UFM). Thus, the objective of this study is to raise the possibility of applying social network analysis with the aim of improving the final integration of UFM in the Spanish society, through the study of all the stakeholders involved in the case of the Valencia Region.

This has raised doubts as to the civic effects of associationalism (Norris 2001;Eliasoph 2001;Wollebaek and Selle 2002;Kwon 2004;Lichterman 2006;Newton 2006). Although not all research raises this doubt regarding democracy and associationalism Hirst 2002;Kwak et al 2004), the question remains.…”
