What strategies should be adopted to select cases in a qualitative research ? Illustration from a comparative study on the changes in the structure of the executive branch in Ecuador. In a qualitative research design – particularly a comparative one - case selection is undoubtedly one of the most critical issues. The literature proposes a series of individual selection strategies, but in practice, researchers use them in combination. This discrepancy between theory and practice motivated us to propose a sequential combination of qualitative techniques for case selection that meet four objectives: to achieve variation in outcome, to respect the diversity of the set, to highlight the different degrees of a continuum, and to highlight the substantial importance of each case. The process was carried out in two stages: first, a pre-selection made directly by the researcher, and second the selection itself, carried out with the participation of experts by means of the Delphi method. The empirical basis of the proposal is the design of a comparative research on changes in the structure of executive power in Ecuador during the three presidential terms of Rafael Correa Delgado (2007–2009, 2009–2013, 2013–2017).

Modern Republicanism

This chapter contends that Jean-Jacques Rousseau's analysis and appropriation of the Roman Republic deliberately undermines Machiavelli's efforts to reconstruct and promote institutions that both maximize the participation of poor citizens in popular governments and facilitate their efforts to control or contain economic and political elites. Rousseau's radical revision of Machiavelli's appropriation of the ancient Roman Republic historically served to foreclose the possibility of an alternative, popularly participatory, and anti-elitist strand of modern republicanism that in subsequent centuries would have better served democratic theory and practice. Through the promulgation of sociologically anonymous principles like generality and popular sovereignty, and by confining elite accountability to elections alone, Rousseau's institutional analyses and proposals allow wealthier citizens and magistrates to dominate the politics of popular governments in surreptitious and unassailable ways.

Definition Of

The article is devoted to the study of the federal territory organization constitutional and legal foundations. The article analyzes the constitutional acts of Russia on the issues of formation and functioning of the federal territory as a separate type of public law entities. It is established that in legal science there are different approaches to the definition of the concept «federal territory». In this connection the position of applying this term only in the political sense is justified. The author formulates the main characteristics of the federal territory as a public law entity, and examines the provisions of the Federal Law «On the Federal Territory "Sirius"», which defines the status, territorial structure, as well as the order of public power organization in the federal territory. It is indicated that the federal territory in Russia is a public law entity «with a special status», since public authorities are created and operate within its borders, with separate powers of federal, regional and municipal importance. Based on the results of the analysis of Russian legislation and legal literature, the content of the federal territory constitutional legal personality is shown, which has certain differences from other public legal entities (state subjects and municipalities).It is stated that the creation of federal territories is associated with the consistent implementation of the administrative reform stages aimed at improving the efficiency of the executive power in our country. In the study of the federal territory as a new constitutional and law institution, the author uses methods of analysis, synthesis, as well as formal legal, dialectical and systematic methods of scientific research, the combination of which made it possible to determine the constitutional and legal content of the federal territory as a new type of a public law entity.

The Subject

When the legislative and executive power united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty ... Again, there is no liberty if the power of judging is not separated from the legislative and executive. If it were joined with the legislative, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control; for the judge would then be the legislator. If they were joined to the executive power, the judge might behave with violence and oppression. There would be an end to everything, if the same man or the same body, whether of the nobles or the people, where to exercise those three powers, that of enacting laws, that of executing public affairs, and that of trying crimes or individual causes. (Baron Montsquieu, 1989-1755).

Abstract In the early elementary grades, the primary emphasis is on developing skills crucial to future academic and personal success—specifically oral and written communication skills. These skills are vital to student success as well as to meaningful participation in the classroom and interaction with peers. Children with complex communication needs (CCN) may require the use of high-performance speech generating devices (SGDs). The challenges for these students are further complicated by the task of learning language at a time when they are expected to apply their linguistic skills to academic tasks. However, by focusing on core vocabulary as a primary vehicle for instruction, educators can equip students who use SGDs to develop language skills and be competitive in the classroom. In this article, we will define core vocabulary and provide theoretical and practical insights into integrating it into the classroom routine for developing oral and written communication skills.
