   Abstract : Including civil society organizations in the policy process is a distinctive trait of democratic governance. But, while being highly valuable from a democratic point of view, not all civil society organizations are represented in the policy process. READ MORE

4. 2. Political Representation in the European Union : A Multi-Channel Approach

   Author : Moa Mårtensson; Christer Karlsson; Sverker Gustavsson; Torsten Svensson; Hans Agné; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : The European Union (EU) is the most far-reaching attempt yet undertaken to institutionalize democratic policy-making beyond the nation-state. To what extent, and in what ways, do various channels of representation contribute towards the realization of this aim? This dissertation takes stock of current research on the EU’s system of representation, and seeks to expand its agenda so that this central question can be properly addressed. READ MORE

7. 5. Majorana Representation in Quantum Optics : SU(2) Interferometry and Uncertainty Relations

   Author : Saroosh Shabbir; Gunnar Björk; Maria Chekhova; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Majorana representation; Quantum optics; interferometry; SU 2 group; angular momentum; arbitrary optical gates; Fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : The algebra of SU(2) is ubiquitous in physics, applicable both to the atomic spin states and the polarisation states of light. The method developed by Majorana and Schwinger to represent pure, symmetric spin-states of arbitrary value as a product of spin-1/2 states is a powerful tool that allows for a great conceptual and practical simplification.
