What Measures for What Politics? Gender-Based Violence Protection and the RDL Policy Gap for Women in Italy (2021-2024)
Get PDFAll forms of gender-based violence (GBV), particularly intimate partner violence (IPV), have intensified with the onset of the pandemic, partly because of closures associated with Covid 19. The pandemic has brought into sharper focus the link between GBV/IPV and economic or livelihood deprivation, highlighting that shelters and helplines for women are necessary but insufficient. The picture is even bleaker for immigrant women. The Italian case is very interesting. The government's decision to adopt a measure to protect women victims of domestic violence, the Reddito di Libertà (RDL) policy, during the pandemic was undeniably innovative, even if a few years later it shows limitations. This article examines GBV from an intersectional perspective and attempts to assess the coverage capacity of the RDL policy among Italian and foreign women living in Italy who are victims of IPV. The findings highlight how the RDL policy seems to have been designed more to manage emergencies than to effectively address GBV. Highlighting the selectivity in the application of the policy, the article concludes by arguing that it is necessary to consider the structural intersectionality that GBV feeds on to plan a more effective and inclusive policy strategy
Streets, Ballots, and Bullets: Kurdish Engagement and Activism
Get PDFThis article analyzes profiles, trajectories, motivations, and subjectivity of individuals opting to join pro-Kurdish organizations, associations, or political parties in Turkey. Departing from organizational-centric models, it applies an analytical approach rooted in social movement theories, emphasizing agency-centered perspectives to analyze pro-Kurdish activism. The research encompasses seventeen organizations, spanning locations in Turkey, Iraqi Kurdistan, and France, drawing on 77 semi-structured interviews, including 11 with former militants and guerrillas. The article examines the demographic characteristics of Kurdish activists and identifies three groups: associative, office, and professional activists. Through a comparison of dimensions such as degree of investment, ideological commitment, autonomy of action, and objectives, the study aims to provide nuanced understanding of these activism forms. Furthermore, the research delves into the biographical narratives of Kurdish activists, tracing motivations guiding their alignment with associations, political parties, or armed groups. Finally, the actor-event dialectic is employed to elucidate the rhythm of engagement, analyzing events at different life stages as accelerators, conjunctions, or sequences influencing participation. The actor-centric perspective enhances understanding of motivations and dynamics influencing engagement in pro-Kurdish activism in Turkey, and sheds light on an emerging trend within the Kurdish movement, positioning itself as the confluence of various social, cultural, and political conflicts
Trajectory of Socio-economic Development of Ukraine in 1991–2021 from a World-system Perspective

The decline in technological competitiveness and the social and demographic crisis are highlighted as underlying constraints that Ukraine faces today.

«Dominium» e «libertas». Corsi e ricorsi storici.
Get PDFThe relationship between 'ownership' and 'freedom' has been heavily modified over time. While in the past they were considered two inseparably linked values, after the enactment of the Civil Code of 1942 and of the Constitution, that link was considered no longer existing. With EC law, however, there has been a return to the traditional view, as the 'ownership' is considered as a fundamental human right, intimately connected with 'freedom'
