Introduction. Udmurtia, its development within the framework of the first and the second five-year plans (1928–1932, 1933–1937). The focus is on the three enterprises of Valamaz, Sergievsk and Suginsk, as well as the construction of a new Golushurma factory. Materials and Methods. Analysis of archival materials reveals the state of the glass industry. Results. This industry (one of the oldest in the region) by the 1920’s occupied the leading positions in terms of industrial production. By the beginning of the First Five-Year Plan, the enterprises were in a deplorable state: the equipment and buildings were without repair and proper modernization, transport communication did not ensure stable sales of products. The circumstances were important for the further development of glass production: first, the availability of resources, primarily sand; secondly, the planned construction of the railway line. Five-year plans were to ensure the modernization of existing enterprises, but also to realize the task of building a new large factory, which had the largest volumes of production. Discussion and Conclusions. Despite the importance of glass production, in the 1930’s it ceases to be given due attention. Development plans wasn’t taken into account, the leadership of the region wasn’t invited to meetings on the discussion of core issues. At the same time, statistical data showed a reduction in production volumes, growth of manufacturing defect. Keywords: glass industry, factories, five-year plans, resources, transport, modernization, construction, Nizhny Novgorod Regional Executive Committee.

The Relationship

Turkey is fully engaged in its “hydraulic mission,” very extensively and rapidly “developing” water resources throughout its territory. The extensive hydraulic development attempts conducted by the Turkish government create local, national, inter-state, and transnational contestations among the different interest groups. A great deal of scholarly literature has analyzed the rationale behind Turkey's massive-scale hydraulic development. While some studies link Turkey's hydraulic mission to its energy and food security, others highlight the importance of domestic conflicts, as in the case of the Kurdish issue in the southeast. However, few works examine the relationship between hydraulic development and state- and nation-making processes in the early period of the republic. This paper seeks to analyze the role of hydraulic development in state- and nation-making in the context of Turkey by looking at the institutional documents published by official authorities and speeches made by key politicians. Drawing mainly upon the theory of water nationalism and its related conceptual frameworks, this study argues that hydraulic development has formed one of the important components of the modernization process in Turkey, thereby playing a significant role in its state- and nation-making processes.

Mitigate Climate Change

Scholars and practitioners have come to understand the important role of local governments in the causes and effects of climate change. The literature has examined both the substantive and symbolic determinants of urban sustainability policies in addition to the implementation issues associated with those policies. At the heart of these policies is the idea that local governments have the desire and ability to engage in socially and environmentally responsible practices to mitigate climate change. While important, these studies are missing a key component in the investigation of local government involvement in sustainability policies: government purchasing power. This study examines the effect of administrative professionalism and interest group presence on the determinants of green procurement in the understudied context of counties in the United States.

Politically Active

This chapter examines four fundamental questions relating to political participation. First, it considers different modes of political participation such as social movements, interest groups, and political parties. Second, it analyses the determinants of political participation, focusing in particular on the paradox of collective action. Third, it explains political participation at the macro-level in order to identify which contextual conditions are conducive to participation and the role of economic affluence in political participation. Finally, the chapter discusses political participation at the micro-level. It shows that both formal associations and informal social networks, configured around family and friendship ties, supplement individual capacities to engage in political participation or compensate for weak capacities, so as to boost an individual’s probability to become politically active.

This chapter examines the role of interest groups in European Union (EU) politics. It also considers the way in which the EU institutions influence interest group structures and activities. The chapter begins with an overview of the relationship between the EU institutions and interest groups and examines the steps taken thus far to regulate that relationship. It then looks at the evolution and the structure of the interest group system, focusing in particular on two salient aspects: the difference between national and EU organizations; and the difference between specific and diffuse interests.
