Gli scambi nel mediterraneo nel post-barcellona: il contributo del partenariato euro-mediterraneo all’integrazione economica
No full textLa globalizzazione crescente dei Paesi più e meno avanzati ha comportato un’accelerazione ed intensificazione degli scambi commerciali e finanziari che spesso non ha mostrato nessun tipo di path dependence, manifestando, al contrario, in alcune aree la tendenza a rimanere sui livelli minimi.
Nel 1995 l’UE ha fondato una forma di cooperazione più solida e stabile, il Partenariato Euro-Mediterraneo (PEM). La novità sta nell’unire le due dimensioni proprie della cooperazione: quella multilaterale, che si realizza con le “Euroconferenze” e quella bilaterale, complementare e sussidiaria, che si attua con gli accordi di associazione detti di “seconda generazione”. La lettura degli scambi tra i partner del PEM ha un ruolo preliminare per un’investigazione sulle possibili ricadute positive di questa nuova cooperazione. Il presente contributo illustrerà brevemente le direzioni dei principali traffici commerciali nel Mediterraneo. Al panorama sui flussi commerciali si affiancherà un breve panorama sui flussi IDE tra gli stesse raggruppamenti di Paesi. Le riflessioni sulla coerenza tra gli obiettivi posti a Barcellona nel 1995, l’operato della cooperazione euromediterranea degli ultimi dieci anni e la recente evoluzione degli scambi concluderanno il contributo
CULTURE AND LABOUR MARKET PARTICIPATION
No full textIn recent times, many economists have tried to explain various economic phenomena
trying to identify and measure the effects of the cultural context of the economic system
under observation. Starting with the seminal works of on culture and institutions, many
authors have sought to measure the values and beliefs of individuals in order to use them in
the estimates of various economic phenomena, such as: the relationship between culture,
institutions and economic growth; the link between culture, work and fertility; the
mechanism of intergenerational transmission of migrants to assess, inter alia, the role of
culture in business decisions and fertility.
This paper, based on these studies, aims to contribute to increase the awareness on the
role of culture in the economic dynamic system and, more in depth, to investigate the role
of culture on female participation of women in some European countries, especially from
the South of the EU.
To achieve this goal, data from survey EVS (European Values Study) have been used to
create a "cultural" proxy and analysed against the female activity rates in a MVA
Economic dependence and vulnerability: an intersectional perspective on risk factors for people in same-sex relationships
No full textIntimate Partner Violence (IPV) can manifest in various forms: physical, psychological,sexual, and economic. In particular, economic violence can mark the onset of other forms ofviolence, from which the victim may find it increasingly difficult to escape. A context ofinequalities, whether overt or subtle, in fact enables such violence by reducing thecapabilities and agency of specific groups compared to others. Theoretical approachesfocusing on access to resources and the inherent dependence highlight that asymmetriesbetween partners could set the conditions for violence to occur, fuelled by power imbalancesoperating at both micro and macro levels, among other factors largely through gender-baseddifferentiations. But in the absence of gender differentiation as an organizing principle ofthe intimate relationship, how are patterns of asymmetry and dynamics of dependencestructured within same-sex couples?The study applies a gendered and intersectional approach to the analysis of the conditions ofeconomic dependence and vulnerability, in order to prepare the way to a further analysis oftheir impact across various domains, and outlines potential risk factors and their differentmanifestations according to gender and sexual orientation. Socio-demographic andeconomic indicators, including age, citizenship, education, employment, and propertyregime, are compared here, in order to explore asymmetries that may constitute potentialrisk factors of IPV and especially economic violence. The study uses a descriptive approachbased on ISTAT data on marriages and civil partnerships (2019–2023).The approach presented here is applicable across gender categories and able to highlight thespecific outcomes for each group. In particular for LGBT+ people, who are exposed tospecific gender-based violence that can foster conditions of vulnerability, increasing the riskof dependence on a partner, and creating a vicious cycle that is often difficult to detect beforeit escalates into violence
National interventions on the issues of migration: strategies and programs
Full text linkEurope has become the first continent of attraction for migrants and is
also the first continent as for incidence of the population emigrated to the total
of population. In Italy, in particular, the foreign population has grown from
2000 to 2013 at an average rate of 10% per annum. This scenario, plus the
emergence of immigrant landings on the Italian coast as a point of arrival but
also as a point of departure to other European countries, leads to awareness of
the need for answers, not only at the Italian institutional level but also within a
European convergence framework, in the search of policies and programs most
appropriate to a new social context, strongly characterized by the presence of
the immigrant populatio
Gli effetti delle strategie europee sulla partecipazione femminile al lavoro e la fecondità in Italia
No full textNotes on Macroeconomic and Institutional Convergence of the Economies of Western Balkans Countries
No full textAbstract
The purpose of this contribution is to discuss the economic performance of non-EU Balkans countries
compared to the European Union and some selected other countries of the Mediterranean Basin over
the period 1999-2008. The idea is to highlight different paths of convergence to the European Union of
different groups of countries interacting with the EU for different purposes (access versus partnership).
We also try and make an attempt to assess roughly the different policy strategies to evaluate the
stimula and obstacles to endogenous growth given to Balkans countries through the Process of
Stabilisation and Association
