Venice, Italy 2010 _it E d e it s io OECD Territorial Reviews w n o VENICE, ITALY r yl This Review of Venice, Italy, offers a comprehensive assessment of the city-region’s economy and the OECD Territorial ReviewsB n extent to which its land use, labour market and environmental policies embrace a metropolitan vision. O O e D A new understanding of the provinces of Padua, Treviso and Venice as an interconnected city-region da l of 2.6 million people guides this study. Venice ranks as among the most dynamic and productive city- C u regions in the OECD, with high employment levels and growth rates. Though it has thrived on a model VENICE, ITALY E e e of small firms and industrial clusters, it is undergoing a deep economic transformation. Venice confronts O R s growing environmental challenges as a result of rising traffic congestion and costly infrastructure pressures, exacerbated by sprawl. Demographics are also changing, due to ageing inhabitants, n e A r immigrant settlement and the rapid depopulation of the historic city of Venice. c tu This report offers a comparative analysis of these issues, utilising the OECD’s metropolitan database L e to benchmark productivity and growth. It draws on regional economics, urban planning, transportation studies and hydrology to throw light on the changes within the city-region. In light of planned inter-city rail extensions, the Review calls for programmes to increase economic synergies between Venice and its neighbours. It evaluates key tools for promoting economic growth and metropolitan governance and proposes enhanced co-ordination of land use policies, additional business development services for small and medium-sized businesses, and the enlargement of university-linked innovation. Given frequent flooding, the report appraises the quality of metropolitan water governance and Venice’s potential to become a powerful reference for climate change adaptation. The Territorial Review of Venice is part of a series of thematic reviews on metropolitan regions undertaken by the OECD Territorial Development Policy Committee. The overall aim of these case studies is to draw up and disseminate horizontal policy recommendations for national governments.

FOREWORD – 3 _it E d e it s io w n o r yl Foreword B n O O e D da l C u Across the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), E e e globalisation is increasingly testing the capacity of regional economies to adapt and O R s exploit their competitive edge, while also offering new opportunities for regional n e A r development. This is leading public authorities to rethink their strategies. Moreover, as a u result of decentralisation, central governments no longer have the sole responsibility for L e c t development policies. Effective relations between different levels of government are now required in order to improve the delivery of public services. The need to pursue regional competitiveness and governance is particularly acute in metropolitan regions. Although they produce the bulk of national wealth, metropolitan economies are often held back not only by unemployment and distressed areas but because opportunities for growth are not fully exploited. Effective metropolitan governance is called for if a functional region as a whole is to reach its full potential. In 1999, the OECD, responding to a need to study and spread innovative territorial development strategies and governance in a more systematic way, created the Territorial Development Policy Committee (TDPC) and its Working Party on Urban Areas (WPUA), as a unique forum for international exchange and debate. Among the activities the committee has developed are a series of case studies on metropolitan regions that follow a standard methodology and common conceptual framework. This allows countries to share their experiences, and is intended to produce a synthesis that will formulate and diffuse horizontal policy recommendations.

  • Italy's Atlanticism Between Foreign and Internal
    UNISCI Discussion Papers, Nº 25 (January / Enero 2011) ISSN 1696-2206 ITALY’S ATLANTICISM BETWEEN FOREIGN AND INTERNAL POLITICS Massimo de Leonardis 1 Catholic University of the Sacred Heart Abstract: In spite of being a defeated country in the Second World War, Italy was a founding member of the Atlantic Alliance, because the USA highly valued her strategic importance and wished to assure her political stability. After 1955, Italy tried to advocate the Alliance’s role in the Near East and in Mediterranean Africa. The Suez crisis offered Italy the opportunity to forge closer ties with Washington at the same time appearing progressive and friendly to the Arabs in the Mediterranean, where she tried to be a protagonist vis a vis the so called neo- Atlanticism. This link with Washington was also instrumental to neutralize General De Gaulle’s ambitions of an Anglo-French-American directorate. The main issues of Italy’s Atlantic policy in the first years of “centre-left” coalitions, between 1962 and 1968, were the removal of the Jupiter missiles from Italy as a result of the Cuban missile crisis, French policy towards NATO and the EEC, Multilateral [nuclear] Force [MLF] and the revision of the Alliance’ strategy from “massive retaliation” to “flexible response”. On all these issues the Italian government was consonant with the United States. After the period of the late Sixties and Seventies when political instability, terrorism and high inflation undermined the Italian role in international relations, the decision in 1979 to accept the Euromissiles was a landmark in the history of Italian participation to NATO.

The Governor of Victoria The Honorable Sir James Gobbo, AC, CVO H.E. Cardinal Francis George, OMI Archbishop of Chicago USA The. Hon. Phillip Ruddock MP Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs The. Hon. Con Sciacca MP Shadow Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs Mr. Joseph R. Cerrell President of the National Italian American Foundation, Washington USA Dr Rino Grollo – Chairman of the Italian Australian Institute On behalf of my fellow Directors of the Italian Australian Institute, I have much pleasure in welcoming you all to this conference. This is, in fact, our first major undertaking, so it is with some anxiety that we seek to live up to the confidence expressed in us by the President of Italy, Oscar Luigi Scalfaro, and the then Premier of Victoria, Jeffrey Kennett, at the time when they announced the foundation of the Institute some eighteen months ago. Since then we have been working quietly to establish ourselves as a national entity. Now Australia is a country where one out of every ten people has Italian ancestry. This represents almost two million individuals. We, the Italian Australian Institute, want to underline and celebrate this reality by harnessing our talents and resources in a more deliberate and co-ordinated way for the benefit of future generations. Who we are and where we came from is an essential part of our lives and our identity and in this multicultural society of ours it is particularly vital to Australia’s future development and influence in the world.

  • Italian Communism in Crisis
    ITALIAN COMMUNISM IN CRISIS Stephen Hellman INTRODUCTION The 1980s have not been kind to the Italian Communist Party (PCI). It has avoided the fate of its French and Spanish counterparts, and is in no immediate danger of being relegated to the historical dustbin. It has not succumbed to the sectarian isolation many were predicting at the end of the 1970s, just as it has resisted the temptation to cast off its entire history and carry out an 'Italian Bad Godesberg'. It has increased its critical distance from the statist models of the East, and has also evolved a considerably more open internal structure. Finally, the PC1 still counts 1.5 million members, and, in spite of a severe setback in the 1987 elections, it obtained 26.4% of the vote. But the PC1 has unquestionably been floundering since the end of the seventies. It has suffered three straight setbacks in general elections after never declining in national elections between 1946 and 1976, when it reached 34.4%. Party membership is down 300,000 since peaking in 1976-77, and the drop has accelerated in the 1980s. Politically, the party has not been so isolated since the 1960s-but then it was at least increasing its public support. It abandoned an ill-fated strategy at the beginning of this decade, but it has basically been paralyzed and devoid of any serious project since then. For all these reasons, and in spite of its continuing strength, the PC1 is currently threatened with political marginalization and further decline. The shock generated by an unexpectedly sharp set- back in the most recent elections (1987) was enough to cause an openly contested leadership realignment in the party and intensify the internal debate that has been going on for some time.

A stormy sea lashed the rocky coastline at Capo Rossello, a small town near Agrigento on Sicily’s southern coast. Shortly after midnight, the wind carried the sound of screams out of the darkness to the restaurants along the beachfront. The screams grew in intensity and then, suddenly, stopped. Some time later, bodies began to wash up on the beach. As the townspeople learned the following morning, a flimsy wooden boat carrying passengers from Liberia had foundered in the rough waves near shore. 128 people were dumped into the heaving waves near Capo Rossello. At least 36 of these people drowned while trying to swim to shore. This mass drowning was not unique. Italy has been experiencing a sharp increase in immigration over the last few years. These immigrants are increasingly coming from various points in Africa rather than from Eastern Europe. Every month, hundreds of impoverished people set out in poorly equipped boats from Libya, Tunisia, and other sites along the Northern Africa coast. Every month, dozens die as they try to reach Italy and Spain. The Italian coast guard has contributed to this body count by aggressively pursuing and turning back boats loaded with immigrants fleeing Africa (Bruni 2002).

As time passed, Russia also became a major energy provider for Italy, as it is today. - The Mediterranean / Middle East: this is a natural endeavor for Italy, given its geographic position, as well as major energy suppliers. More recently they also emerged a source of possible domestic instability due to the illegal flows of immigration.

    DEMOCRACY REPORT FOR ITALY Dr. Leonardo Morlino Dr. Donatella della Porta Ms. Lisa Francovich Ms. Serena Giusti Mr. Fillipo Legnaioli Mr. Pietro Milazzo 1 I. Citizenship, Law and Rights 1. Nationhood and Citizenship Does public agreement on a non-discriminating common citizenship exist? 1.1 To what extent does the nation and state citizenship of those who live within the territory exist? 1.1.1 Laws The fundamental feature guaranteeing the majority of our constitutional rights is citizenship, that is, the subjective status through which the Constitution gives recognition to a series of rights (especially political rights) and duties. The acquisition, the loss and the acquisition of citizenship are now regulated by Law No.91, 1992, which has definitively substituted the 1912 law, in force until then. Concerning the acquisition of Italian citizenship by birth, the fundamental principle is that of the so-called ius sanguinis, according to which anyone born (or adopted) in any part of the world from an Italian mother or father is entitled to Italian citizenship. The principle of ius soli, according to which Italian citizenship is given to those who are born within the territory of the state, applies only in residual cases and to a limited extent, particularly in the case of parents who are unknown or stateless, or in the case that the newborn cannot be attributed the citizenship of his parents owing to the laws of citizenship of the countries in which his parents are citizens. As well as acquisition by birth, citizenship may later be granted to foreigners in cases of specific individual or family situations, generally subject to defined periods of residence.
