  • Matteo Renzi Must Work with Italian Trade Unions Rather Than Against Them If He Is Serious About Reforming Italy's Labour Mark
    2017­6­1 Matteo Renzi must work with Italian trade unions rather than against them if he is serious about reforming Italy’s labour market | New European Trad… Matteo Renzi must work with Italian trade unions rather than against them if he is serious about reforming Italy’s labour market Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has made reforming the Italian labour market a priority for his government. Chiara Benassi and Niccolo Durazzi assess the argument that Italy’s trade unions are an obstacle to reforms on the basis that they support only their core membership, rather than a broader agenda which includes ‘atypical’ workers such as agency staff. They argue that unions have taken on a much broader stance than they are typically credited with and that if Renzi is serious about reforming the country’s labour market it would be beneficial to work with unions rather than against them. It is safe to say that in Italy the main centre­left party – including all the previous versions of the most recently branded Democratic Party (PD) – and its historical ally among the unions, the Italian General Confederation of Labour (CGIL), have never been more distant. The climax was reached on the weekend of 25­26 October. On that weekend, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi held his annual ‘Leopolda’ event in Florence (named after the former train station where it takes place) which brought together government representatives, members of the PD, members of civil society, entrepreneurs and employers to present and discuss, among others, the reforms which are supposed to revitalise the stagnating Italian labour market.

  • What Will France's Role in Europe Be Over the Next Five Years?
    September 8th, 2017 Note n°23 Eurocité, 12 Citémalesherbes, 75009 Paris [email protected] www.eurocite.eu What will France’s role in Europe be over the next five years? Spain’s expectations, by Dídac Gutiérrez-Peris For once, France’s 2017 presidential elections had a strong sense of déjà-vu in Spain. A reminder of the rifts, the changes and the divides which have marked the Spanish political life in the past 10 years, such as the rise of a more radical left beside a worn out socialist party, exhausted by the exercise of power. Many similarities are to be found in the rise of Mélenchon’s party and its relationship with the PS with Podemos’ ascent and the PSOE. Another example would be the appearance of a new centrist party which also plays the anti-system card. It’s no surprise to see that Ciudadanos claims to belong to the same political trend as Macron’s party and that the new French President views the Orange movement as a positive development for Spain. And finally, the conservative right which, despite the many crises it went through, remains present on the political scene. Les Républicains and Partido Popular are both seing their reputation damaged due to corruption scandals and yet both remain key political elements, with Partido Popular in power in Spain and Les Républicains as the main party of opposition in Parliament in France. There are two main differences between the two countries though. Even though France was the last one to go through such a transition, En Marche’s victory was a much more significant disruption of the bipartisan state of play than in Spain.

They hurried along the path that leads to the Bardo museum, stopped in front of the entrance and opened fire on a busload of tourists. They then broke into the museum, shooting staff and visitors on their trail, before climbing the marble stairs and taking a room full of hostages. The terror lasted for three hours before Tunisian special forces stormed the build- ing and ended the siege. In total, 19 people were killed and over fifty were wounded in the carnage. Responsibility for the attacks was claimed by the ter- rorist group ISIS, which had recently come to prominence for its bold and spectacle-obsessed style of terror in Syria and Iraq. The Bardo attack’s significance lay not only in the number of victims killed, but also in the centrality of the site to Tunisian public life. The Bardo complex began life as the residence of the Bey of Tunis. It was converted into a history museum under French rule in 1889. Following independence, the museum and an adjoining military complex remained, but part of the site was re-purposed to house the national parliament. The Bardo has attained additional signifi- cance since the revolution as the site of a new spirit of democracy. Inside the parliamentary buildings, members of special committees charged with draft- ing the country’s new constitution had sat for countless hours during 2012 and 2013 whilst televised debates from the adjoining parliamentary chambers were broadcast to audiences across Tunisia, who for the first time in their lives could witness genuine unmediated political debate.

Some historians have emphasized a continental approach and believe research should look west, toward the people that inhabited places outside the traditional “thirteen colonies” that would become the United States, such as the Gulf Coast or the Great Lakes region.

The Guide is available on-line as an e-document, at: www.

SY 2 PREFACE Homenetmen has bylaws, rules and regulations, but no formal leadership development program. Governing bodies also do not have a comprehensive orientation guide for new board members. Hence this guidebook. This Guide is primarily written for the leadership of Western USA Region. However, the entire Homenetmen family with all of its Regions and Chapters could use this guidebook, with minor adjustments of region specific information. WHY Do We Need to HAVE a GUIDE for LEADERS? Every nonprofit organization needs a board development process. Homenetmen has to give tools to those leaders who are expected to lead our youth, to better explain to them their role and responsibilities, educate them about their position and functions and help improve their performance. Quality leaders are better mentors. This Guide may be utilized for two purposes: 1. As a reference handbook, adopted by any Homenetmen leader, or 2.

  • Italyˇs (Definitely Complicated) Election
    FEB Market Update 2018 Italy’s (Definitely Complicated) Election Giuseppe Ricotta, CFA, FRM, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Manager/Analyst Guillaume Samama, CFA, Vice President, Research Analyst Italy’s political future was thrown into doubt a little over a year ago after the then-Prime Minister Matteo Renzi resigned following the electorate’s rejection of the constitutional reforms he had championed (for details see our Lazard Market Update, Comments on the Italian Referendum Result). We believe the referendum was a missed opportunity for positive reforms and that the next general election, scheduled for 4 March this year, could be pivotal for the country’s direction. In this paper, we discuss the election, the new electoral system, the potential for a hung parliament populism and other risks, and potential election scenarios. We use scenario analysis, conducted by our Multi-Asset team, to gauge the possible market reactions and economic implications for investors. A Missed Opportunity From 2014 to 2016, under the leadership of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) and Prime Minister Renzi, Italy’s budget deficit remained well below the European Union’s (EU) headline target of 3.0% of GDP, and the labour market and banking sector underwent a series of transformations. The constitutional reform, to which Renzi staked his political future, represented an opportunity to drive reform efforts forward. The proposed constitutional reforms of 2016 would likely have made it easier and faster to pass new laws, as it would have lessened the Senate’s law-making powers and introduced several new paths to enact laws. We regarded these reforms as potentially transformational and, in our view, they would have been a positive step for Italy, in contrast with the present situation in which the Lower House (or Chamber of Deputies) and the Senate—which together comprise Italy’s parliament—have equal voting powers.
