The Changing EU “Pension Programme”. Policy Tools and Ideas in the Shadow of the Crisis
No full textThe aim of the present chapter is to summarize the main traits of what we call the “EU pension programme”, which is made up of three main fields of intervention: the completion of the EU pension market; the financial sustainability of pension programmes; and the broader modernization of national old-age retirement systems. While the first area is related to EU law (the Community method), the two latter dimensions have been progressively integrated into the EU economic and social governance (both contained within the European Semester that avails itself of several legal bases underpinning Macroeconomic and Fiscal coordination as well as the socioeconomic objectives of the Europe 2020 agenda). The key issue explored in this chapter is the evolution of the EU pension programme before and after the economic and sovereign debt crises as well as its (potential) influence on the “new pension mix” in the Member States. Looking back at the past decades of EU policy decisions in the field, we develop two research questions: has the EU pension programme influenced the pension mix in the Member States?; and, has the EU pensions programme changed since the emergence of the economic and financial crisis
Il sistema economico fra declino e riforme
No full textDa molti anni, ormai, quando si parla di Italia e della sua economia la parola d’ordine è quella di ‘declino’. L’Italia è, cioè, spesso rappresentata come un Paese dalle profonde debolezze economiche e dalla cronica incapacità di affrontarle. L’obiettivo di questo capitolo è capire da dove deriva questa narrazione ‘declinista’, al fine di individuare i principali problemi economici con i quali si è confrontato il sistema politico italiano negli ultimi due decenni, tracciarne le cause e valutarne le conseguenze. In particolare, il capitolo si focalizza sui problemi riguardanti la produttività, il welfare e le finanze pubbliche
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
When Political Rights Do Not Translate into Economic Power: The Rise and Fall of the Slovenian Minority's Economy in Italy (1954-2020)
Full text linkLack of economic data based on ethnicity makes the study of minority economies in linguistically or ethnically mixed regions problematic. Yet, there is much to learn from these hard cases of economic development in terms of the policies that guarantee ethnic or linguistic survival and reproduction. The present article investigates the long-term economic development of the Slovenian minority in Italy between 1954 and 2020. It does so by applying the theoretical framework by new institutional economists Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James Robinson (2005), which looks at the dynamic role of political and economic institutions for the generation of economic growth. The parable of this community's economy shows that political power and economic success can be flimsy and ephemeral. Strategic, long-term economic planning and, especially, contingent planning against foreseeable risks, both of which require the systematic collection of accurate data and the coordination of representative organizations, are key to successful reproduction and sustained growth
