I diritti umani come tema conflittuale nel Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite
No full textWith the end of the Cold War and the expansion of the international liberal order, human rights have entered the UN Security Council agenda. However, this has become a divisive issue. In a context of greater influence of the US and its Western allies over the decision-making process of the most important multilateral institutions, the UN above all, the interpretation allowing intrusive practices by the Security Council promoted by the Western permanent members has clashed with the defense of sovereignty promoted by Russia and China. Analyzing divisive resolutions with reference to human rights in the period 2001-2017 (Lebanon, Myanmar, Zimbabwe, Libya and Syria) and the only thematic meeting on the issue, the article focuses on voting behavior, sponsoring of draft resolutions and official statements during Council meetings to outline the terms of the conflict

The 2021 G20 and Italy: keeping our dreams alive?
No full textItaly’s presidency of the G20 defied the odds and resulted in costly commitments by the members on a range of issues: global health, climate change, a minimum global tax, and the crisis in Afghanistan. How can we explain this success? Italy’s prime minister, Mario Draghi, and his extensive prior experience and widespread respect was certainly a factor. The global context was also important, with the new Biden administration in the US leading a group of countries seeking multilateral solutions to pressing international problems
Transatlantic Cooperation in Conflict Management
No full textDespite remarkable policy disagreements between the US and the EU, a quantitative analysis of transatlantic cooperation in the field of conflict management shows the existence of a growing cooperative habit between the two actors. Indeed, changes in security culture and, more specifically, in conflict management have led to the creation of a transatlantic cooperative nucleus capable of promoting a wide socialisation process and a favourable environment for multilateral intervention to occur. In particular, the contemporary transition of the organization of the international political system, seems to be the viable environment where US's and EU's apparently opposing visions of international security not only coexist but also produce cooperation
The comprehension of the space between axonometry and perspective
No full textScience and art had often had profitable relationships throughout history. As it is well
known, the turning point to the contemporary era must be attributed to Gaspard Monge at
the end of the “Age of Enlightenment” and to Jean Victor Poncelet in the XIX century,
who arrives to the scientific generalization of the Projective Geometry. An original
approach to the theme of representation was made by the German scholar Gustav
Adolph von Peschka. He published in Hannover, in 1868, with Emil Kounty, an interesting
geometry treatise entitled Freie Perspective in ihrer Begründung und Anwendung; the
intent was to bring out all the methods of representation to a single matrix, the central
projection, especially with regard to what was beginning to be the most used method by
the architects of the time: the axonometry. For the purpose of knowledge it is interesting
to note that the scientific debates of this kind, now almost fallen into the cultural
oblivion, may still be a fertile ground for the comprehension of the mathematicalgeometric
space, also from the academic point of view if one analyzes it under the light
of the experiments carried out by the new technologies. We intend to focus our thoughts
to the actual geometric configuration of these models, organizing the virtual space
through its basic elements, purchasing in this way the required proficiency in the act of
representation
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
