Euro area governance: What went wrong in the euro area? How to repair it?
No full textBruegel Director Jean Pisani-Ferry focuses on the institutional response to the euro area crisis with the Van Rompuy Task Force being set up to reform economic governance. The task force is due to present its progress report shortly and the author examines two basic questions in this contextÂ? what went wrong in the euro area (and the lessons learnt from this) and consequently what are the three choices for reforming governance. He explains why implementation of existing rules need to be strengthened and why the Van Rompuy Task Force should revisit the fundamental principles on which the EMU is founded and resist the temptation to solely address divergences.

O Trianon do MAM ao MASP. Arquitetura e política em São Paulo (1946-1968)
No full textAo concentrar sua investigação na história de um único lote na cidade de São Paulo, Daniele Pisani, professor de história e teoria da arquitetura contemporânea em Milão, estudioso da arquitetura brasileira moderna e autor, entre vários outros livros, de Paulo Mendes da Rocha: obra completa (2013-14), tocou numa espécie de nervo sensível da nossa história cultural.
Em O Trianon do MAM ao MASP: arquitetura e política em São Paulo (1946-1968), Pisani ilumina passagens decisivas de uma história que permaneceu soterrada por muitas décadas, na qual se entrecruzam, como num roteiro teatral, não só figuras de alto poder econômico e político, como Ciccillo Matarazzo, Assis Chateaubriand, Nelson Rockefeller, Armando de Arruda Pereira, Jânio Quadros, Adhemar de Barros e Faria Lima, mas também arquitetos da maior importância, como Affonso Eduardo Reidy, Oscar Niemeyer, Vilanova Artigas, Lina Bo Bardi e muitos outros.
Com uma atenção rigorosa aos documentos, o recurso constante a fontes primárias e um senso crítico extremamente apurado, O Trianon do MAM ao MASP subverte interpretações consagradas e se revela uma referência obrigatória para compreender as relações entre arquitetura, política e cultura na São Paulo das décadas de 1940 a 60
Uma genealogia da imaginação de Paulo Mendes da Rocha. Lições de Veneza
No full textEste livro procura examinar o fascínio que a cidade de Veneza exerce no pensamento e na obra de Paulo Mendes da Rocha, um dos mais importantes arquitectos da actualidade. Quem já leu ou ouviu as suas palavras sabe que Mendes da Rocha recorre frequentemente à cidade lacustre para tentar definir a natureza profunda — e os deveres genuínos — da arquitectura. Para o arquitecto, Veneza é um «exemplo» necessário, um «modelo» ou «paradigma» da arquitectura. Ao observar Veneza através de Mendes da Rocha, e ao descobrir Mendes da Rocha através de Veneza, este livro constrói novas perspectivas sobre ambos. Ao contrário da imagem estereotipada e vazia que Veneza teima em apresentar nos dias de hoje, Daniele Pisani põe-nos perante uma Veneza invulgar, rica em projectos e formas alternativas de ver o mundo, permitindo-nos acompanhar a descoberta de uma genealogia da imaginação — talvez a mais íntima e profunda de entre tantas possíveis — do arquitecto brasileiro
Infinitely Many Solitary Waves in Three Space Dimensions
No full textIn this paper we give some existence results obtained by V. Benci, P. d’Avenia, D. Fortunato, A. Masiello and L. Pisani about a model of Lorentz-invariant nonlinear field equation in three space dimensions which gives rise to topological solitary waves
Handle with care! Post-crisis growth in the EU
No full textIn this policy brief, Jean Pisani-Ferry and Bruno van Pottelsberghe show that although the crisis originated in the US, Europeâ??s outlook has deteriorated faster and more sharply leading to the worst crisis observed during the post-war era. However, the length of the crisis matters at least as much at its depth, and policymakers should not overlook the medium term consequences of their actions.
Handle with care! Post-crisis growth in the EU. Bruegel Policy brief 2009/02, April 2009

Avoiding a new European divide
No full textThe financial crisis, which is now hitting the new member states severely, highlights the shortcomings of the existing institutional architecture in Europe. Current strains reflect a revaluation of risks but they also result from policy mistakes. In this policy brief, Zsolt Darvas and Jean Pisani-Ferry show that some of the non euro-area new member states suffer from serious vulnerabilities, to which policy has been slow to respond. They believe that the crisis management in the euro area has had the unintended consequence of putting non euro-area new member states at disadvantage. These are unhealthy developments and without decisive action, a new political and economic divide within Europe may emerge.
The Hidden Beginnings of a Breakthrough: Lina Bo Bardi’s First Steps in Brazil
No full textItalian-born architect Lina Bo Bardi always claimed that she had moved to Brazil in the aftermath of World War II because the freedom ideas of the Italian Resistance had been betrayed. Recent studies argue she was merely accompanying her husband, Pietro Maria Bardi, who was organizing art exhibitions in Rio de Janeiro. However, as documented by the correspondence published here for the first time, Bo Bardi did not embark on the journey to the New World because of the failures of the Italian Resistance or simply as a companion to her husband: she had been charged with the task of ensuring Brazil’s participation in the eighth edition of the Triennale di Milano (1947). On the basis of the correspondence documenting this assignment, this essay fills a historiographic gap and, more importantly, aims to radically revise the narrative around the initial phase of Bo Bardi’sstay in Brazil, the country she increasingly felt asher own and where she eventually spent her en-tire life
