Gli studi sulle politiche di istruzione e di welfare : dal trade-off all’integrazione
No full textThis article analyses the contrasted dialogue between welfare state and education studies. The aim is to, first, shed light on the traditional cleavage between the two, based on the trade-off between the two policy areas; while then addressing the more recent attempts to better integrate the two literatures (through the hypothesis of fruitful interaction between welfare and education). The article is divided in three sections. The first is focused on the historical origin of the separation between the two literatures. The second section analyses the different typologies. The third section focuses on those approaches promoting the integration of education and welfare: “Varieties of capitalisms”, “Social investment”, “Active welfare”, “Capabilities”. The article ends with some critical reflections on these analytical prospects
Istruzione e protezione sociale : modelli e andamento della spesa
No full textThe diffusion of the ‘social investment’ and ‘active welfare state’ paradigms, together with the changes of the different European welfare systems, highlights the need for considering education and social protection as a part of a single strategy for welfare. After showing the main features of the news welfare paradigms, the first aim of this article is to investigate how the contemporary literature has defined the relationship between education and social protection models. The second aim is to analyze the evolution of these policy sectors since the mid-nineties to nowadays. Through the analysis of the evolution of educational and social expenditures, this article investigates the presence of convergence or divergences trends among European countries
Il welfare occupazionale : un’occasione per la ricalibratura del modello italiano?
No full textThis article investigates the «occupational welfare» that concerns welfare provision resulted of bargaining between social partners, or voluntary and unilateral initiatives by companies. The article firstly aims to analyze the main features of the Italian occupational welfare. The focus is on the protection of both «old» and «new» social risk. As regards «old risks», we consider the case of supplementary funds in pension and health care. As regards «new risks», we consider re-conciliation and vocational training. The second aim of this work is to analyze the relationship between occupational and public welfare. In particular, the purpose is to better understand whether occupational welfare promotes the correction of the three typical distortions of Italian welfare model (territorial, functional, distributive) or, on the contrary, occupational welfare schemes reinforce such distortions. The analysis point out that the occupational welfare is able to promote a «functional» recalibration, but it achieves more limited results if we consider both the «territorial» and «distributional» recalibration
The European Governance of Education : progress and challeges, European Trade Union Istitute
No full textIn recent decades the European Union (EU) has put increased emphasis on education and training as a strategic area able to contribute to economic development and a more inclusive society. Soft governance has contributed to progress in attempts to coordinate national policies and institutions. However, national performances and trends are still far from the targets set by the EU. To explain this contradiction between EU ambitions and its limited influence on national performance, we look at the policy content of EU economic and social governance. The inconsistency between short-term fiscal consolidation and long-term social investment seems to be one of the sources of the contradiction Moreover, this inconsistency has become more acute since the ‘Great Recession’. If the EU wishes to make progress in this area, a more coherent set of incentives favouring long-term investments has to be implemented (through revision of the stability rules and/or using the EU structural funds to help Member States invest in this area)

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Europa 2020 e lotta alla povertà : obiettivi «hard», processi «soft», governance in fieri
No full textInitially welcomed as a relevant step forward for the EU social dimension,
the Europe 2020 quantitative poverty target, aimed at lifting 20 million people out of
poverty by 2020, appears less reachable today than three years ago. Not only poverty is
on the rise in Europe and recent austerity measures in several Member States might kill
the «sick patient», also various contributions have cast doubts on the effectiveness of
the new strategy in combating poverty and social exclusion. Against this backdrop, this
article aims to assess whether, and to what extent, the current EU social policy tool-kit is
efficient in counterbalancing the consequences of unfavorable economic developments
and fiscal consolidation strategies, by promoting effective multilevel and multi-stakeholder
governance of anti-poverty policies
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
