Assessment of resource efficiency in a life cycle perspective: the case of reuse
No full textThis work discusses how a life cycle based approach can be tailored for the assessment of resource efficiency of products, with a specific focus on reuse. A new method is introduced and illustrated on a washing machine case-study. While case-study results prove the environmental benefits of reusing the product, the study also highlights the limits of the LCA approach, as it lacks of robust and widely intelligible impact assessment categories, able to properly capture resource efficiency in a life cycle perspective. The article also provides suggestions for the enhancement of the resource efficiency assessment, as: development of new methods based on the life cycle approach; development of new life cycle impact assessment categories focused on resources; use of detailed inventory flows for specific materials in place of non-robust life cycle impact categories; integration of LCA with other methods (as material flow analysis)

Populism and Covid-19 in Europe: what we learned from the first wave of the pandemic
No full textPopulist parties are often assumed to benefit electorally from major crises. Yet as Giuliano Bobba and Nicolas Hubé explain, populist actors have found it difficult to politicise the crisis brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Drawing on a new book covering the first wave of the pandemic in Europe, they identify several lessons concerning the ... Continue
Italy has passed a no-confidence verdict in the centre-left
No full textThe rise of Beppe Grillo and the political resilience of Silvio Berlusconi were two of the main stories to emerge from last week’s Italian election. As Duncan McDonnell and Giuliano Bobba argue, however, the Grillo and Berlusconi headlines should not disguise the stark position of the Italian centre-left. The Partito Democratico has now lost over three million voters in five years
L'antipolitica in agenda. Temi e leader sui media mainstream nella campagna elettorale 2013
No full textTaking Italy as a case study, this article discusses the relevance of issues and leaders within the coverage of the mainstream media during the 2013 Italian general election campaign. After introducing the literature and illustrating the methodology and the research design, this article presents the main findings concerning the issues covered by the media (focusing in particular on political scandals and taxes), and then it shows the different strategies adopted by the major candidates (Berlusconi, Bersani, Grillo and Monti) in order to manage the electoral agenda. The distinctive features of the campaign are the self-referentiality, the limited number of issues within the public debate and the negative frame through which the mainstream media covered the competition
Beppe Grillo’s unexpected rise makes him the Italian (non)politician of the year
No full textWhile the end of year headlines are being dominated by Silvio Berlusconi and Mario Monti, Giuliano Bobba and Duncan McDonnell argue that the most interesting Italian politics story in 2012 was Beppe Grillo and his Movimento 5 Stelle. The movement’s particular blend of anti-establishment politics, and a communication strategy that focuses on both the internet and grassroots campaigning, mean that we should expect further surprises from Beppe Grillo in 2013
The Italian centre-left is stalling in the campaign, but (probably) not in the election
No full textThis week sees elections in Italy. The centre-left coalition have seen their comfortable polling lead reduced but are predicted to do be successful on election day. Giuliano Bobba and Duncan McDonnell argue that despite Silvio Berlusconi and Mario Monti’s rhetoric about promoting young people and women, the centre-left PD and SEL perform better on both counts, and that this bodes well for the future of the centre-left
