China Codifies. The First Book of the Civil Code between Western Models to Chinese Characteristics
Get PDFOn 15 March 2017 the first book of the Chinese Civil Code, whose definitive processing is sched- uled for 2020, has been approved. This is a long-awaited achievement, whose starting point dates back to the early twentieth century, when the first draft of a Civil Code inspired by European models was prepared. The project of Civil Code in China has been part of a long lasting and com- plex process of legal reforms characterized by a vast circulation of foreign legal models, especially in the last few decades, and at the same time, by the emerging of the issue of local identity and cultural differentiation. The making of the Civil Code, the Western model par excellence for legal reforms, thus represents an interesting observatory of the evolution of the dynamics of the rela- tions between local and foreign elements. This will be the main line of reflection along which this study will be developed
Quo Vadis Sovreignty? New Conceptual and Regulatory Boundaries in the Age of Digital China
No full textDigital sovereignty is all the hype in scholarly, policy, and industry debates. The evolution of sovereignty and state practices in relation to the raise of digital technologies in everyday life and the everyday conduction of policymaking has raised compelling issues in philosophical, legal, political, and sociological terms. Given this situation, there is an increasing need to investigate the topic of digital sovereignty from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Scholars from Europe and China from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, such as law, political science, China studies, and media studies, as well as practitioners of the telecommunications sector, debate in the book perspectives on China and digital sovereignty adopting an interdisciplinary approach
Chi resiste alla globalizzazione? Globalismi, regionalismi, nazionalismi nel diritto del XXI secolo Atti del VII Convegno Nazionale SIRD
Get PDFL'orizzonte del diritto attuale è segnato da tensioni crescenti su scala globale, di cui le più recenti guerre sono il tragico punto di emersione. La visibile frammentazione dell’ordine internazionale e le mai sopite istanze di carattere nazionale, o locale, di segno opposto rispetto alle tendenze globalizzanti, mettono in discussione l’emergere di valori universali, mentre si moltiplicano gli spazi ove le regole formalizzate sono assenti, configgenti o incoerenti.
Il settimo Convegno Nazionale della Società Italiana per la Ricerca nel Diritto Comparato ha esplorato questi temi da molteplici prospettive, grazie ai contributi di trentaquattro studiosi raccolti in questo volume, per delineare una prima mappa delle aree in cui si manifestano spiccate novità, dalle tematiche riguardanti la rule of law e le tradizioni costituzionali comuni, alle identità costituzionali, alla dimensione transnazionale del digitale declinata nei suoi vari aspetti, al cambiamento climatico, al governo dei flussi economici transnazionali

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Introduction
No full textThe concept of sovereignty is living a new life: after having been envisaged as vanishing – due to the exponential expansion of the cyberspace and the nation states’ shortcomings at regulating digital matters – is being reborn phoenix-like from its ashes precisely thanks to its use of the very same cyberspace and digital dimension,
Thus, digital sovereignty has been developing, at different levels, with different meaning for different State actors, expressing an ever-changing nature and embody- ing a growing complexity. China is obviously at the centre of the process of defining digital sovereignty for a number of reasons. To follow the redefinition of conceptual and regulatory boundaries of the concept of sovereignty in digital China is a necessary step to understand the new life of sovereignty in the contemporary world
