Giuristi e no. L’utilità di un approccio interdisciplinare allo studio della cittadinanza
No full textThe article critically engages with international scholarship on citizenship studies and it argues in favour of an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, when it comes to discuss the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion associated with citizenship laws, policies and practices. It advocates that the Italian discussion on citizenship catches up with the international literature, where the cross-fertilization of Law with other disciplines has proved particularly useful. In the first section, the authors show how the disciplines of History, Reflexive sociology and Historical institutionalism, when profitably bridged with Law, provide essential lenses to a sound understanding of citizenship. They focus on the complex entanglements that link citizenship with the definition of the "demos", international relations, nation-building, state sovereignty, international migrations, social and economic marginalization, race, gender, and power relations. In the second part, they deal in depth with the notion of marginalization with respect to the Italian case. In conclusion, the article contends that an interdisciplinary discussion of citizenship, in the Italian case, might yield to a beneficial «devaluation» of the concept in the political debate, allowing for a more pragmatic, functionalist, informed approach, instead of the ethno-nationalistic, ideological, hyper technical one that is currently featured in Italy

"La materia quando inizia a soffrire": Denial Figures in Guido Morselli's Work
No full textopenIl presente lavoro si propone di indagare la questione della crisi del soggetto così come discussa dall'autore italiano Guido Morselli, nelle diverse sedi dei romanzi, della produzione saggistica e del diario personale. Da qui si analizzeranno temi quali il solipsismo e gli interrogativi esistenziali, fin dai loro primi riverberi nella filosofia centro-europea di fine Ottocento, inizio Novecento.The present work aims yo investigate the issue of the crisis of the subject, as it is discussed by the Italian author Guido Morselli, on his novels, essays and personal diary. We will also analyze topics such as solipsism and existential questions from their first reverberations on the late eighteen century and early nineteen century middle European philosophy
A place-based approach to migrant integration
No full textThis Science for Policy report focuses on urban and territorial strategies promoted by the EU Cohesion Policy during the 2014-2020 programming period, namely Sustainable Urban Development (SUD), Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) and Community-led Local Development (CLLD), and explores whether and how they may contribute to the integration and inclusion of international migrants in the local context. The study illustrates the findings of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) Exploratory Research Activity (ERA) International migrants in Functional Urban Areas. How strategies of sustainable urban development can foster the integration of migrants?, which integrates two analytical approaches, with in-depth case studies based on local data and performed by local academics complementing the analysis carried out at EU-level

No full textMultiscale and multidimensional segregation of non-Western: migrants in seven European capitals
No full textThe project investigated ethnic segregation in seven European capitals, namely Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Paris, and Rome. These cities present a mix of immigration and welfare contexts in Europe. The study looked at the levels of ethnic segregation in each city and how these levels vary between them, how segregation manifests itself at different geographical scales and how it varies between the cities, and whether segregation varies between metropolitan cores and hinterlands.OLD Urban Renewal and Housin
A rural-urban divide in Europe? An analysis of political attitudes and behaviour
No full textThis Technical report offers insights on how the spatial dimension of attitudes and political behaviour across Europe relates to the underlying socio-demographic and economic features. In investigating the existence and nature of a rural-urban divide, it aims to support the Commission’s activities towards a Communication on a Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas. This work builds upon the JRC Science for Policy report Immigration and trust in the EU. A territorial analysis of voting behaviour and attitudes (Scipioni, Tintori et al. 2019). It examines if and how a rural-urban divide may correlate and impact on Europeans' opinions and political choices, with specific reference to a series of issues considered to be particularly divisive in European public discourses in recent times. The study splits the analysis in two parts: one related to data on attitudes, the other on political behaviour. In the part based on survey data, it first looks at the 2018 Flash Eurobarometer on Regions and then, to gain a time perspective, it considers the Standard Eurobarometer series from 2003 to 2019. This section focuses on whether and how attitudes have shifted in rural versus urban areas towards the EU and national governments, as well as over immigration.
The part on the political behaviour looks at the European Parliament elections of 2014 and 2019. The section first describes how the political offer of European parties has evolved between the two elections, in relation to the EU and immigration policies according to the Chapel Hill Expert Survey (CHES). Then, it analyses how European voters, divided according to their residence in urban, rural or intermediate territories, cast their votes in both elections for parties coded according to their positions towards the EU and immigration. Overall, the empirical analysis detects some signs of a rural-urban divide in the political attitudes and behaviour of Europeans, but unevenly across various Member States and, importantly, their occurrence is issue-dependent.
In addition, the observed geographic differences are less territorial in nature than a second-order manifestation of socio-demographic structural characteristics. The study thus contributes to the framework of the JRC work to provide scientific analyses to identify and understand socio-demographic drivers and implications of territorial disparities across the EU, with a view to support knowledge-based policy design and inform tailored measures.JRC.E.6 - Demography, Migration and Governanc

The transnational political practices of “Latin American Italians”
No full textFirst published online: 19 May 2011The article analyses the political institutional patterns between Italy and Latin America through a study of South American dual nationals who retain full political rights in Italy. It adopts a socio-historical approach to study the genesis, evolution and consequences of Italy’s external citizenship policies, assessing their impact on the transnational political activities of “Latin American Italians”. It identifies the outputs and outcomes from the transnational political practices of “Latin American Italians”, both in Italy and the countries of residence, if and how these have created overlapping polities, affected the conception of membership, and challenged the definition of “home” and “host” country. The findings are based on over one year of field research, including interviews with key actors in Argentina, Uruguay, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom; in-depth interviews with seventy-four Latin Americans who had recently obtained their Italian citizenship by descent; and a statistical analysis. The article concludes that the current rise of transnational institutions linking sending and receiving countries does not totally break with the past. The strategic use of European nationality laws influences political participation of Latin American Italians in a limited way, and when a transnational political engagement does occur, it produces a disjunction between politics and territory more in terms of a re-territorialization than of a de-territorialization of political practices. Thus, this article supports the hypothesis of strengths and weaknesses of the transnational approach to analyse migrant’s political activities
