they have not been able to exercise the right to vote by making a complaint to the Equality Ombudsman (Diskrimineringsombudsmannen). However, in Sweden, inadequate accessibility is not included in the Discrimination Act (Diskrimineringslagen). A memorandum proposed the introduction of a new provision on prohibiting in the form of inadequate accessibility for people with disabilities which would include accessibility of information as well . The proposal is still being processed in the Government Offices with no timeframe of adoption. In the latest European Parliament elections 2009, four municipalities were reported to the Equality Ombudsman (Diskrimineringsombudsmannen) on the grounds that they had used voting premises with poor accessibility for people using wheelchairs (see also under 23 and 24). PROCESS INDICATORS Process indicators Source and supporting information Do national, regional, local and municipal election authorities have and accessibility action plans and guidelines in place? The Central Election Authority produced guidelines to voting clerks and other election officials during the General Elections in 2010. The information does not focus on on the grounds of disability, accessibility and reasonable accommodation. Rather the guidelines focus on the procedures of counting and receiving votes at the polling stations. The guideline on how to provide assistance to those with disabilities is that: “A voter who cannot personally vote due to a disability, can receive assistance from a voting clerk. It is then allowed for two people to be present in the voting booth.” Furthermore, the guidelines also point out that in case a voter with disability cannot enter the premises of the polling station, the voting clerk can receive their vote outside, if this can be done in a secure manner. There is also a film available at the website of the Central Election Authority in five languages (Swedish, English, Turkish, Arabic and Farsi) about how to vote at a polling station, but there are no details on providing assistance to people with disabilities.

Clustered Policy Attention and Punctuated Equilibrium: The Case of Energy and Environment Policy Alex DeGolia Bren School for Environmental Science and Management University of California, Santa Barbara April 6, 2014 Analysis of US policy dynamics through the lens of punctuated equilibrium provides a strong rebuttal against methods that presuppose the ability to effectively predict which policies will be the subject of Congressional action, and when. In this paper, I offer an analysis of the interaction between public opinion, attention, Congressional attention, and Congressional action between issue areas, in particular spillover and crowding out effects. The same psychological limits that have a strong bearing on the production of policy outputs in the punctuated equilibrium model also result in heterogeneous levels of attention addressed to public concerns translation of that attention into laws between these issue areas. These psychological factors, in particular cognitive linkages between issues and associated cognitive cost savings, may indicate that Congressional attention on some issues will affect the timing of policy production between issues that are not obviously or relevantly linked.

Key Explanatory Variable: Gender Intensity Here, the concept of interest is the gender intensity of a language. Specifically, how easy is it for a speaker of a given language to make a statement without referencing the gender of the subject? The statement of interest here is: He is my friend. While this statement is most certainly neither the most representative nor the most important in any language, it is a commonly stated sentence by individuals across all languages. In the English language, the use of the word “he” indicates gender. So from this conversation, it becomes clear from the onset that the individual of interest is a man. Some languages do not make such gender distinctions. For example, in Chinese, the statement ta shì wŏ de péngyŏu indicates nothing regarding the gender of the friend. The word ta simply refers to a third-person singular nominative pronoun. Likewise, in Hungarian, ő a barátom translates into [a gender non-descriptive third person] is my friend. The same is true in Indonesian (dia adalah teman saya). The word dia makes no reference to whether the person is a man or a woman. In contrast to Chinese, Hungarian, and Indonesian, some languages do make a distinction in the gender of the third-person. English is one example of such a language. Another example is French. If the friend is a man, the correct statement is il est mon ami; but if the friend is a woman, then the statement becomes elle est mon amie. Note the distinction between il (masculine) and elle (feminine). Moreover, note that the word for friend (ami) takes on a different spelling if the subject is feminine (amie). Similarly, in Russian, on moy drug is a male friend, but ona moya podruga is a female friend. These languages force the speaker to indicate whether the subject is a man or a woman. While the three aforementioned languages do impose gender on the subject, it is also important to note that some languages such as English and Russian do have gender “escape clauses.” An English speaker, for example, can say it is a friend or they are a friend to convey the information sans gender. The same cannot be said for French. There is no equivalent of a

There is little change from the legacy US specification other than slightly more emphasis on knowledge of specific landmark Supreme Court cases, Pearson Edexcel Ideologies All compulsory and optional ideologies include significant consideration of the “spectrum” and range of views/subcategories within that ideology, above and beyond that required by Ofqual US option No additional changes/additions – but centres will find that the specification presents the order and combination of topics rather differently than when US Politics and US Government were separate units, and this must be taken into consideration when planning. Global option Significant emphasis on sovereignty, and challenges to sovereignty e.g. humanitarian intervention Globalisation and the impact on peace In-depth analysis of the UN, including the Security Council Attempts to resolve poverty through SAPs, economic development theories, aid, debt relief Significant emphasis on climate change, including international treaties, developed vs non-developed countries, IPCC, and even more emphasis on detailed policies to mitigate climate change Failed states and rogue states Type of assessment AQA New proposed assessment Our view on AQA assessment

While there is no precedent in relation to the imposition of fines on individuals, it is likely that the BCA would impose such sanctions in the same procedure and would adopt one decision targeting all undertakings and individuals concerned. In such a scenario, the legal position of the individuals would depend on the nature of the successful legal challenge. If the Court annuls the decision of the BCA in its entirety, this would annul the decision in relation to all the undertakings and individuals to which the decision was addressed. Conversely, if the Court only partially annuls the decision (e.g. in relation to the calculation of the fine of an undertaking not related to the individual), this may leave the legal position of the individual unchanged. 29. To what extent have these sanctions been used? Are there studies about the effectiveness of individual sanctions? Individual sanctions have not been imposed yet. The BCA has not conducted any study on the effectiveness of such sanctions. 30. If there are no such sanctions, has there ever been intent to introduce it? If so, why did it fail? Not applicable. 31. If there are no such sanctions, what hurdles to their introduction and successful use do you see in your national legal system? Not applicable.
