  • Tuscany Laboratory
    (Of the challenges of) Institutionalizing Deliberative Democracy: the ‘Tuscany laboratory’ by Antonio Floridia and Rodolfo Lewanski1 ‘The future of deliberative democracy also depends on whether its proponents can create and maintain practices and institutions that enable deliberation to work well’ (Gutmann and Thompson 2004, 59) Deliberative initiatives amount to ‘paternalistic imposition’ (Neblo et al 2010, 566) Summary Though deliberative theory has attracted considerable and increasing attention from many quarters, a relevant question that has not yet received adequate consideration is whether it can -and should- be institutionalized (Fung et al. 2005), and, if so, how and to what extent. Although there have been many successful 'one shot' experiences of deliberative participation, there are not many examples of institutionalizing it as a routine practice. This in turn raises a number of issues, one being the relationship of deliberative processes with representative institutions and processes. Though compared with other developed nations, Italy traditionally has not been a leader in the use of public participation practices2, a number of local administrations and of regions have become increasingly active in this field over recent years. At the end of 2007 the Region of Tuscany passed Law no. 69 defining “Rules on the Promotion of Participation in the Formulation of Regional and Local Policies”3 (henceforth the Law or Law no. 69/07), an innovative legal provision explicitly aimed at pro-actively promoting citizen engagement in local and regional decision making. Thus, the law institutionalizes citizen participation; furthermore, it does so by incorporating a number of features explicitly derived from deliberative theory4. Thus, Tuscany has become a remarkable 'laboratory' for empirically testing the validity of 1 Both authors have contributed, within the scope of their administrative and institutional duties, to the promotion and subsequent implementation of the Law.

  • Integrative Medicine in Italy and the Tuscany Experience
    Integrative medicine in Italy and the Tuscany experience Elio Rossi Homeopathic Clinic - Hospital of Lucca Tuscan Network for Integrative Medicine Integrative medicine in Italy and the experience of the Region of Tuscany Dr. Elio G. Rossi Ambulatorio di omeopatia – ASL 2 Lucca Complementary medicine in Italy • In Italy today there are almost 2000 MDs using acupuncture, more than 7000 homeopaths, about 20,000 MDs with an homeopathic training and approximately 300 MDs who have completed the course on anthroposophy. • We can calculate that there are at least 20,000 Italian practitioners (physicians, dentists, veterinarians) prescribing homeopathic, included homotoxicological and anthroposophical medicines. • In Italy homeopathic medicines are found exclusively in the pharmacy and they are sold by most of them. • In 2000, at least 7000 pharmacies out of 16,000, (43%), had a section for homeopathic and/or herbal remedies. At this moment, we can calculate that around 90% of the Italian pharmacies can offer homeopathic and phytotherapic products. In addiction there are more than 4,000 herbal shops (erboristerie) regulated by law since 1931. National law on CM regulation • Italian Government and Parliament have been urged to pass a national law regulating the practice of NCM. • No such law has yet been passed. Since 1986, year of the first law proposal (On. M.P. Garavaglia) more than 50 draft bills about NCM regulation have been tabled without any results. Guidelines of the FNOMCeO on Non conventional medicines and practices • ‘On 18th May 2002, at Terni, the National Council of the Italian National Federation of Medical Doctors and Dentists Associations (FNOMCeO), issued the “Guidelines of the FNOMCeO on Non conventional medicines and practices.
