Geographies of Federalism during the Italian Risorgimento, 1796-1900
No full text"Ferretti pushes the debate about the radical-democratic strands in Italian Unification (the Risorgimento) beyond the usual oppositions -republicanism v. socialism, centralism v. federalism - to consider how much the contentions of the time extended to consideration of authoritarianism, militarism, and colonialism rather than just administrative arrangements per se. In taking a fundamentally geographical approach to the debate, Ferretti not only provides a new perspective on the radical impulses in the Risorgimento but also contributes to the contemporary rethinking of nation-statehood, territorial sovereignty, and the possibilities of transnational federalism. Perhaps most importantly, this book shows that the form which Italian unification took was never a foregone conclusion. There is a broader lesson here."
John Agnew, Professor of Geography, University of California Los Angeles, USA
Combining intellectual history, geography and political science, this book addresses the relations between geography and the federalist tendencies of key individuals during the nineteenth-century Italian Risorgimento. The book investigates the development of transnational federalist attitudes amongst a political network of intellectuals, and hones in on several understudied figures who played important roles in the Italian radical movements for national and social liberation. Notably, this includes political geographers who mobilised geographical metaphors to foster change and reorganise territories. The author demonstrates how federalism, anarchism and republicanism were all connected and led not only to autonomy in Italy, but more locally within its regions and municipalities, and more broadly across Europe over the ‘Long Risorgimento’ period. Contributing to current debates on federalism and anti-colonialism, this book will appeal to historical geographers, political scientists and those researching the history of federalism, republicanism and anarchism in Europe
Nel segno di Max Scheler. In dialogo con Giovanni Ferretti
No full textA conclusione del volume dedicato alla fenomenologia e all’antropologia personalistica di Max Scheler, negli anni ’70 del Novecento, Giovanni Ferretti osservava con disappunto che, nell'ultima fase della sua vita, Scheler aveva voluto oltrepassare il teismo, per avventurarsi sul terreno di quello che allora venne sbrigativamente etichettato come un dualismo evoluzionistico.In realtà, la movenza di novità ontologico-metafisica, a base fenomenologica, da Scheler peraltro appena accennata e mai condotta a compimento sistematico, esprimeva un’istanza avvertita fortemente dallo stesso Ferretti e proprio in virtù della sua solida formazione neoscolastica. Infatti, nella prospettiva scheleriana sistematicamente incompiuta tanto l’esperienza religiosa quanto la teologia, finalmente liberate dalle dogmatiche e impositive sicumere di «una metafisica della trascendenza teocratica», secondo «il principio per cui “ciò che è fondatamente vero ha senz’altro senso”», possono nuovamente riproporsi alla sensibilità postmoderna, incline a ritenere che «ciò che non ha senso per noi, non può essere vero e fondato». Si tratta d’altra parte di un’apertura che lo stesso paradigma fondazionale consente, visto che il principio di ragione sufficiente, che lo governa, prevede, almeno nella sua teorizzazione leibniziana, che solo Dio possa esaurientemente risolvere in verità di ragione l’inerenza a ciascun soggetto storico dei suoi predicati. A noi uomini spetta attendere al groviglio apparentemente impenetrabile delle verità di fatto nel modesto tentativo, sempre incompleto e sempre in fieri, di ricostruire la rete logica che innerva la totalità dell’essere, seguendo il filo delle ragioni che la nostra esperienza via via ci mostra
International Financial Integration*
No full textIn recent decades, foreign assets and liabilities in advanced countries have grown rapidly relative to GDP, with the increase in gross cross-holdings far exceeding the size of net positions. Moreover, the portfolio equity and FDI categories have grown in importance relative to international debt stocks. In this paper, we describe the broad trends in international financial integration for a sample of industrial countries, and seek to explain the cross-country and time-series variation in the size of international balance sheets. We also examine the behavior of the rates of return on foreign assets and liabilities, relating them to ‘market’ returns .

A Chiral Ligand Accessible in One Step: Synthesis of bis-((R)-(+)-Bornyl)acenaphthenequinonediimine and of its Zinc and Nickel Complexes.
No full textA new neutral chiral nitrogen ligand was obtained in one step from commercially available acenaphthenequinone and (R)-(+)-bornylamine. Use of titanium tetraisopropoxide is the key to obtain good yields of the condensed product. Ring strain in the bicyclic system helps in stabilizing the otherwise unstable Alkyl-BIAN type derivative, but is not enough to render the free ligand indefinitely stable. However, complexes of the ligand with the ZnCl2and NiBr2fragment were prepared and are stable. The single crystal X-ray structure of ((R)-(+)-Bornyl-BIAN)NiBr2has been determined
Patient perception of the quality of Healthcare Services. A psychometric study on the Questionnaire of Quality Perception
No full textIn the present article we examine the psychometric properties of the Questionnaire of Quality Perception (QQP), an Italian survey measuring patients' perceptions on the quality of a recent hospital admission. The authors predict that the 14-item survey will be divided into four factors: 1) satisfaction with the medical doctor, 2) satisfaction with the nursing staff, 3) satisfaction with the auxiliary staff, and 4) satisfaction with the hospital amenities. Considering Coluccia, Ferretti, Lorini, Calamai (2002), we administered the test on 1804 patients from the "Le Scotte" Hospital in Siena. We tested two models using a confirmatory factorial analysis (structural equation modeling): the first model with 4 orthogonal factors, the second model with 4 oblique factors. The SEM fit indices and the test of the difference of the Ï2, lean towards the acceptance of the second model
