Security, immigration and development assistance: an integrated approach
No full textThe European Union’s security and immigration policy requires a set of actions coordinated between the Union and individual Member States, plus a consistent policy of development cooperation within the frame work of European Neightbourhood Policy (ENP). This article takes a look at the European approach in these policy areas. After considering the economic and social causes of international migration, it dwells on the prospective “migratory pressure” on Europe, which is expected to be strong, especially from the southern shores of the Mediterranean. The authors stress the essential role of European Neightbourhood Policy, which must promote development and democracy in the countries bordering on the Union. It is necessary to create an area of stability and security within which to achieve negotiated regulation of migratory flows. It is argued that the financial resources for ENP are inadequate and that a decisive role will be played by bilateral aid to the bordering countries from EU member States. Nevertheless, the author observe that these resources are subject to the budgetary constraints of the Stability and Growth Pact and accordingly recommend that the development assistance should also be treated as investment in stability and security, the benefits of which will be reflected in diminished future costs for individual European countries. The authors therefore call for the application of the “golden rule” to this expenditure, treating it on a par with investment and R&D spending for purpose of calculating government deficits

Carnian stratigraphy of the Dogna area (Julian Alps, northern Italy): tessera of a complex palaeogeography
No full textThe Carnian stratigraphy of the Dogna area (Julian Alps, Northern Italy) has been investigated. Six lithostratigraphic units have been recognized between the Ladinian Sciliar (or Schlern) dolomite and the latest Carnian base of the Dolomia Principale. Facies analysis indicates that the Carnian succession of Dogna has been deposited in a shallow water, carbonate-siliciclastic ramp sedimentary environment. New biostratigraphic data (palynomorphs, and a few ammonoids) allow a correlation with the better known areas of Cave del Predil and Dolomites. This correlation framework highlights striking differences in the evolution of the Carnian carbonate platforms of the Southern Alps
High precipitation rate in a Middle Triassic carbonate platform: Implications on the relationship between seawater saturation state and carbonate production
No full textThree-dimensional geological modeling of the Middle Triassic Latemar carbonate platform is coupled with facies modal analysis to estimate its carbonate precipitation rate (G). The 3D model, strongly constrained by field data, encompasses a specific stratigraphic interval of the platform, bounded by two isochronous surfaces. Modal analysis of thin sections allows estimating the proportion of syndepositional vs postdepositional carbonate in the facies associations of the platform. This, together with the 3D facies distribution in the model that takes into account lateral and vertical facies variability, permits to calculate the volumes of syndepositional carbonate preserved at Latemar between the two considered isochrones. Given the peculiar characteristics of the platform, that does not show evidences of strong dissolution processes or large carbonate mass loss through export in the nearby basins, results can be used to estimate the average precipitation rate of the platform in the considered time interval. This estimate allows discussion in relation to models of ocean water saturation state (Ω) with respect to carbonates in the geological past, and comparison to the calculated precipitation rates of modern tropical coral reef ecosystems at global and reef scale. A high G value is found at Latemar and represents the first empirical confirmation that, in the Triassic, extremes in Ω may have triggered high carbonate precipitation in shallow water settings; moreover, comparison to modern reefs points to a possible common relationship that may link seawater Ω and precipitation rate in carbonate platform ecosystems through geological time. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
