The Image of Crisis-Ridden Europe and the Division Between Creditor and Debtor Countries: the Case of Italy
Istituto Affari Internazionali IAI WORKING PAPERS 12 | 17 – June 2012 ISSN 2280-4331 The Image of Crisis-Ridden Europe and the Division Between Creditor and Debtor Countries: The Case of Italy Michele Comelli Abstract The eurozone’s debt crisis has exposed structural economic and political rifts within the European Union. Specifically, it has created a new cleavage between creditor and debtor countries, the former being mainly located in Central-Northern Europe and the latter in Southern Europe, each with its own understanding of the causes of and remedies to the crisis. This paper explores how a debtor country - Italy - has changed its political discourse on the EU as a result of the crisis, focusing on political elites, civil society and public opinion. It argues that while the discourse of political elites and of civil society clearly mirrors this cleavage, public opinion does not necessarily follow this pattern, being mainly concerned with the country’s domestic ills.

Il Dibattito Sull'abolizione Della Pena Capitale
Il dibattito sull’abolizione della pena capitale: il contributo della cultura giuridica italiana dell’ottocento riccardo stabile Dottorando di ricerca in Scienze Penalistiche nell’Università di Trieste Non è dunque la pena di morte un diritto, mentre ho dimostrato che tale non può, ma è una guerra della nazione contro un cittadino, perche giudica necessaria o uti- le la distruzione del suo essere. Ma se dimostrerò non essere la morte né utile né necessaria, avrò vinto la causa dell’umanità. C. Beccaria, Dei delitti e delle pene, a cura di F. Venturi, Mondadori, Milano, 1991, p. 73. SOMMARIO: 1. Introduzione – 2. Il problema della pena di morte nelle vicende della codificazione penale italiana – 3. La tesi abolizionista nel pensiero di F. Carrara – 4. Riflessi del dibattito italiano sulla codificazione sudamericana: il codice Zanardelli quale vettore dell’opzione abolizionista 120 1. Introduzione La grande stagione della penalistica italiana ottocentesca culminò, come noto, con l’approvazione del codice Zanardelli, pubblicato il 1° dicembre 1889 ed en- trato in vigore il 1° gennaio 18901. Allo storico risultato dell’unificazione legisla- tiva in materia penale, conseguita dopo lungo e tormentato travaglio, si accom- pagnò, quasi che le due questioni fossero avvinte in un indissolubile nodo gor- diano, la definitiva e formale abolizione della pena capitale2. Il significato epocale di siffatta evoluzione normativa e, prima ancora, cultu- rale si apprezza particolarmente sol che si guardi con occhio critico, sulla scia di recente dottrina3, alla retorica del rinnovamento del giure criminale e dell’uma- nizzazione dei sistemi sanzionatori che avrebbero caratterizzato i codici otto- centeschi, a partire da quel Codice dei delitti e delle pene pel Regno d’Italia, versione italiana del Code Penal napoleonico4. -

I would first like to thank Kerri Heffernan and my Royce Fellowship cohort for supporting my initial research on the Church of Kopimism. My time in Berlin and Stockholm on behalf of the Royce made an indelible mark on my entire academic career thus far, without which this thesis would definitely not be as out-of-the-box as it is proud to be. I would also like to thank a few professors in the Religious Studies department who, whether they were aware of it or not, encouraged my confidence in this area of study and shaped how I approached the religious communities this project concerns. Specifically, thank you to Prof. Denzey-Lewis, who taught my first religious studies course at Brown and graciously sponsored my Royce research amidst her own travels. Also, infinite thanks and blessings to Fannie Bialek, who so deftly modeled all that is good in this discipline, and all that is most noble in the often confusing, frustrating, and stressful task of teaching “hard” topics. -

1 the Italian Decision of Joining The
The Italian decision of joining the EMS: Exchange rate commitment as a political argument in favour of institutional reforms* Anna Solé University Pompeu Fabra May, 7th, 2018 Abstract: During the negotiations about the European Monetary System (EMS), the Italian government consistently held the position that Italy was not going to join a “re-edited Snake”. However, when it became clear that the EMS would work under the hegemony of the German mark, just as the previous system did, the Italian government surprisingly changed position and decided to adhere to the new monetary arrangement, although this decision imposed unpopular reforms and threatened with provoking a government crisis. The debate on the convenience for Italy of participating in the EMS shows that besides the discussion on the new monetary system, other important discussions, concerning institutional reforms, were also taking place. In many occasions, EMS membership was used to justify the need for other institutional reforms that did not enjoy enough political support to be implemented. In particular, the reform of the wage indexation mechanism and the change in the status of the Banca d’Italia are examples of how the exchange rate commitment and the European compromises were used to impose measures that were very unpopular and, otherwise, would have been very difficult to carry out. Introduction: On the 5th of December 1978, the agreement of the European Monetary System (EMS) was signed by six of the nine members of the EEC. The United Kingdom decided to stay out, whereas Italy and Ireland were given some additional time to take their final decision. -

Forms of Government (World General Knowledge)
Forms of Government (World General Knowledge) Anarchism A system that advocates self-governed societies based on voluntary institutions. These are often described as stateless societies, although several authors have defined them more specifically as institutions based on non-hierarchical or free associations. Anarchism holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, and/or harmful. Anarchy A society without a publicly enforced government or political authority. Sometimes said to be non-governance; it is a structure which strives for non-hierarchical, voluntary associations among agents. Anarchy is a situation where there is no state. Autocracy Autocracy is a system of government in which supreme power (social and political) is concentrated in the hands of one person or polity, whose decisions are subject to neither external legal restraints nor regularized mechanisms of popular control Aristocracy Rule by the nobility; a system of governance where political power is in the hands of a small class of privileged individuals who claim a higher birth than the rest of society. Anocracy A regime type where power is not vested in public institutions (as in a normal democracy) but spread amongst elite groups who are constantly competing with each other for power. Adhocracy Rule by a government based on relatively disorganised principles and institutions as compared to a bureaucracy, its exact opposite. Absolute monarchy A traditional and historical system where the monarch exercises ultimate governing Downloaded from www.csstimes.pk | 1 Forms of Government (World General Knowledge) authority as head of state and head of government. Many nations of Europe during the Middle Ages were absolute monarchies. -

Revolting Peasants: Southern Italy, Ireland, and Cartoons in Comparative Perspective, 1860–1882*
IRSH 60 (2015), pp. 1–35 doi:10.1017/S0020859015000024 r 2015 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Revolting Peasants: Southern Italy, Ireland, and Cartoons in Comparative Perspective, 1860–1882* N IALL W HELEHAN School of History, Classics and Archaeology, University of Edinburgh William Robertson Wing, Old Medical School, Teviot Place, Edinburgh, EH8 9AG, UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Peasants in general, and rural rebels in particular, were mercilessly ridiculed in the satirical cartoons that proliferated in European cities from the mid-nineteenth century. There was more to these images than the age-old hostility of the townspeople for the peasant, and this article comparatively explores how cartoons of southern Italian brigands and rural Irish agitators helped shape a liberal version of what was modern by identifying what was not: the revolting peasant who engaged in ‘‘unmanly’’ violence, lacked self-reliance, and was in thrall to Catholic clergymen. During periods of unrest, distinctions between brigands, rebels, and the rural populations as a whole were not always clear in cartoons. Comparison suggests that derogatory images of peasants from southern Italy and Ireland held local peculiarities, but they also drew from transna- tional stereotypes of rural poverty that circulated widely due to the rapidly expanding European publishing industry. While scholarly debates inspired by postcolonial perspectives have previously emphasized processes of othering between the West and East, between the metropole and colony, it is argued here that there is also an internal European context to these relationships based on ingrained class and gendered prejudices, and perceptions of what constituted the centre and the periphery. -
