This would enable authors to give their articles the necessary depth for discussing more elaborate topics.

  • STRUTTURE Cosa Nostra E 'Ndrangheta a Confronto
    STRUTTURE Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi Andrea Zolea WikiMafia – Libera Enciclopedia sulle Mafie www.wikimafia.it Strutture: Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto, di Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi e Andrea Zolea La mafia dura da decenni: un motivo ci deve essere. Non si può andare contro i missili con arco e frecce: in queste vicende certe intemperanze si pagano duramente. Con il terrorismo, con il consenso sociale, potevi permettertele: con la mafia non è così. Nella società c’è un consenso distorto. Altro che bubbone in un tessuto sociale sano. Il tessuto non è affatto sano. Noi estirperemo Michele Greco, poi arriverà il secondo, poi il terzo, poi il quarto. Giovanni Falcone 1 www.wikimafia.it Strutture: Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto, di Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi e Andrea Zolea PREMESSA Questo lavoro ha lo scopo di offrire uno sguardo d’insieme sulle articolazioni strutturali delle organizzazioni mafiose denominate Cosa nostra e ‘ndrangheta . La prima sezione, curata da Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi, si concentra sull’analisi di Cosa nostra. La seconda sezione, che sposta il focus sulla ‘ndrangheta, è curata da Andrea Zolea. Come si potrà notare, le due sezioni non sono state realizzate secondo uno stesso modello, ma analizzano le due organizzazioni con un approccio differente. Ad esempio, la parte su Cosa nostra avrà un orientamento maggiormente diacronico, diversamente da quella sulla ‘ndrangheta, basata su un approccio sincronico. Il presente testo ha infatti l’obiettivo di offrire due proposte di analisi differenti che riescano a mettere in luce le analogie e le differenze delle strutture delle due organizzazioni mafiose.
