Contactforum “Contemporary Centrifugal Regionalism: Comparing Flanders and Northern Italy” (19-20 juni 2009, hoofdaanvr.: M. Huysseune, Vesalius College, VUB) The recent political crisis in Belgium has drawn attention to the centrifugal dynamics of its federal system. This crisis characteristically involves both interest and identity, economic arguments reflecting the unwillingness within the richer community (Flanders) for continuing support of the poorer one, and non-economic arguments related to the travailed relations between the country’s communities. Such centrifugal forms of regionalism also appear in, e.g., Scotland, Catalonia and the Basque Country, and northern Italy. The comparison between Belgium and Italy has a particular interest since both countries share many similarities like the North-South tension and a low degree of satisfaction with the political system. Taking into account that the identity-building process in northern Italy is a recent phenomenon and hence does not reflect a “historical” mobilization of an ethnic minority, both cases concern the questioning within the richer region of economic mechanisms of national solidarity. This contact forum proposes to reach, by means of systematic and multidisciplinary comparison between Flanders/Belgium and Northern Italy/Italy, a better understanding of the dynamics that characterize these two particular cases, and in particular which factors stimulate or constrain this centrifugal regionalism: the construction of identity, the issue of institutional reform, the development models of successful regions and its possible relation with ethnocentrism and support for radical right parties. CONTEMPORARY CENTRIFUGAL REGIONALISM: COMPARING FLANDERS AND NORTHERN ITALY Michel Huysseune Vesalius College, Vrije Universiteit Brussel 1. INTRODUCTION The continuous political crisis with which Belgium is confronted has drawn attention to the political fragility of the realm and to the centrifugal dynamics of its federal system. The crisis characteristically involves both interest and identity, economic arguments reflecting the unwillingness within the richer community (Flanders) to continue supporting the poorer one, and non-economic arguments related to the travailed relations between the country’s communities. Such a centrifugal form of regionalism is far from unique in Western Europe. Similar cases, where the affirmation of regionalism is related to a potential secession of the economically privileged, concern Scotland, Catalonia and the Basque Country, northern Italy, with Slovenia offering a successful model. The comparison between Belgium and Italy has an additional interest since, as De Winter, della Porta and Deschouwer have pointed out, both countries share many similarities: besides the North-South tension, particularly relevant for our purpose are a low degree of satisfaction with the political system and high levels of support for neo- populist and radical right parties (De Winter et al., 1996:216).1 Both the strong emphasis on economic arguments and the embedded presence of radical right parties that (have) defend(ed) secession moreover distinguish Flanders and northern Italy from other European cases of centrifugal regionalism . Because of these similarities, studying a particular phenomenon in one country thus indeed contributes to interpret the other one, since “knowledge on Italy can help us to understand Belgium and vice versa” (idem:215). Taking into account one important difference, the fact that the identity-building process in northern Italy is a recent phenomenon (promoted since about twenty years by the Lega Nord, colloquially known as the Lega) and hence does not reflect a “historical” 1 This text resulted itself from the workshop “Partitocracies Between Crises and Reform: The Cases of Italy and Belgium”, presenting a systematic interdisciplinary comparison of the two cases on a number of salient issues. The proceedings were published in Deschouwer, 1996. 1 mobilization of an ethnic minority, 2 both cases concern the questioning within the richer region of economic mechanisms of national solidarity, in a context where moreover the groups concerned (Flemish and Francophones, northern and southern Italians) are, contrary to the other cases, of a relatively comparable size. Within member states of the European Union, the existence of centrifugal forms of regionalism certainly problematizes dominant narratives of European integration. Regionalism and the affirmation of regional identities in the European Union are perceived in an ambivalent and at times schizophrenic way. Literature (e.g. Hooghe and Marks, 2001) has frequently pointed out the advantages the EU multi-level framework of governance offers for pacifying ethno-political and secessionist conflicts. Within the EU, sovereignty and hence competencies in policy areas are shared between the different levels of governance, creating a cooperative environment for the development and affirmation of institutions at the third, sub-state level. This process is presumed to lead to the articulation

  • Middle Ages of the City
    Chapter 5 Merchants and Bowmen: Middle Ages of the City Once past, dreams and memories are the same thing. U. piersanti, L’uomo delle Cesane (1994) It’s a beautiful day in May. We find ourselves in Assisi, the city of saints Francis and Clare. The “Nobilissima parte de sopra” and the “Magnifica parte de sotto” (the Most Noble Upper Part and the Magnificent Lower Part), which represent the districts of the city’s theoretical medieval subdivision, challenge each oth- er to a series of competitions: solemn processions, feats of dexterity, songs, challenges launched in rhyme, stage shows. In this way, it renews the medieval tradition of canti del maggio (May songs), performed in the piazzas and under girls’ balconies by bands of youths wandering the city. A young woman is elect- ed Madonna Primavera (Lady Spring). We celebrate the end of winter, the return of the sun, flowers, and love. This medieval festival, resplendent with parades, flag bearers, ladies, knights, bowmen, and citizen magistrates, re- sounding with songs, tambourines, and trumpets, lasts three days and involves the entire population of Assisi, which finds itself, together with tourists and visitors, immersed in the atmosphere of a time that was. At night, when the fires and darkness move the shadows and the natural odors are strongest, the magic of the illusion of the past reaches its highest pitch: Three nights of May leave their mark on our hearts Fantasy blends with truth among sweet songs And ancient history returns to life once again The mad, ecstatic magic of our feast.1 Attested in the Middle Ages, the Assisan Calendimaggio (First of May) reap- peared in 1927 and was interrupted by the Second World War, only to resume in 1947.

  • Executive and Legislative Bodies
    Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) Legislative and executive powers at the various levels Belgium is a federal state, composed of the Communities and the Regions. In the following, the federal state structure is outlined and the Government of Flanders and the Flemish Parliament are discussed. The federal level The legislative power at federal level is with the Chamber of Representatives, which acts as political chamber for holding government policy to account. The Senate is the meeting place between regions and communities of the federal Belgium. Together they form the federal parliament. Elections are held every five years. The last federal elections took place in 2014. The executive power is with the federal government. This government consists of a maximum of 15 ministers. With the possible exception of the Prime Minister, the federal government is composed of an equal number of Dutch and French speakers. This can be supplemented with state secretaries. The federal legislative power is exercised by means of acts. The Government issues Royal Orders based on these. It is the King who promulgates federal laws and ratifies them. The federal government is competent for all matters relating to the general interests of all Belgians such as finance, defence, justice, social security (pensions, sickness and invalidity insurance), foreign affairs, sections of health care and domestic affairs (the federal police, oversight on the police, state security). The federal government is also responsible for nuclear energy, public-sector companies (railways, post) and federal scientific and cultural institutions. The federal government is also responsible for all things that do not expressly come under the powers of the communities and the regions.

  • At the Roots of the Italian Unbalanced Welfare State: the Grip of Cognitive Frames and “Red-White” Political Competition
    At the roots of the Italian unbalanced welfare state: the grip of cognitive frames and “red-white” political competition by Maurizio Ferrera, Matteo Jessoula and Valeria Fargion Draft Paper prepared for the Seminar organized by Banca d’Italia Area - Ricerca economica e relazioni internazionali Rome, 18 March 2013 Matteo Jessoula Dept. of Social and Political Sciences University of Milan Maurizio Ferrera Dept. of Social and Political Sciences University of Milan Valeria Fargion Dept. of Political Science and Sociology University of Florence 1 1. Introduction Born at the end of the XIX century in response to the challenges stemming from modernization, the welfare state involved risk socialization by institutionalizing solidarity and introducing a new type of rights: social rights, that is entitlement to cash benefits and/or in kind service provision in case of sickness, unemployment, work injury, old age and so on. The timing and the temporal sequence of introduction of social protection schemes as well as their institutional profiles have varied greatly both across and within countries, with decisive consequences on individuals’ life chances.. The literature has outlined several dimensions which are relevant to distinguish between different types of welfare systems. Two of these dimensions are particularly relevant: the functional dimension and the distributive ( or distributional) dimension. The first refers to risks and needs which may be differently covered and protected by social protection schemes.. The second has to do with the differential protection – in terms of coverage/non coverage, level of benefits and eligibility rules – for the different social groups. In the first half of the XX century and even more during the Golden Age (1945-75) all countries made remarkable progresses along both dimensions by enlarging the “basket” of risks protected and expanding population coverage.

Dino's book is in form the history of a particular fact, namely, the division of the Guelf party in Florence into the White and the Black Guelfs, with its attendant circumstances, its causes, and its results : but under this form is unfolded at the same time the history of the steps by which the wealthy traders of Florence (jfropolani, popolani grassi, and collectively popolo grasso) organised in the greater guilds (see Appendix II.) acquired and retained the control of the machinery of govern- ment in the city and its outlying territory (contado), excluding (practically) from all participation therein on the one hand the Magnates (i.e.

  • Padua Municipal Archives from the 13 to the 20 Centuries
    Padua Municipal Archives from the 13th to the 20th Centuries: A Case of a Record-keeping System in Italy GIORGETTA BONFIGLIO-DOSIO RÉSUMÉ L’auteure décrit dans cet article le système de gestion des documents de 1’administration municipale de Padoue entre le 13e et le 20e siècle, par la commune libre, la seigneurie des Carraresi, les fonctionnaires de la république de Venise, puis 1’administration locale avant et après 1’unification nationale (1861, mais 1866 pour Venise et Padoue). Elle analyse principalement la chancellerie médiévale et moderne, alors que les archives étaient conservées et gardées par des institutions chargées de 1’administration publique, puis le travail bureaucratique et historiographique exécuté aux 19e et 20e siècles. À cette époque, de nouvelles méthodes de gestion, adoptées par les états créés par Napoléon et s’appliquant aux archives courantes, ont également influencé la conservation des archives historiques. Cet article montre comment une ville italienne a conservé sa mémoire administrative et a créé une institution spécifique afin de préserver et d’étudier ses documents historiques. ABSTRACT This research describes the record-keeping systems of Padua’s municipal administration from the 13th to the 20th centuries, i.e., by free commune, Carraresis’ seigniory, public servants of the Republic of Venice, and local administration in the context of the State before and after the national unification (1861, but for Veneto and Padua 1866). The focus is on the analysis of the medieval and modern chancellery, while archives were preserved and kept by corporate bodies charged with public administration, and afterwards bureaucratic and historiographical work carried out in the 19th and the 20th centuries.

Belgium fits into this picture rather well, with major student mobilisa- tions in Leuven and Brussels occurring in the first half of that notoriously restless calendar year.1 Yet all-inclusive assessments of the social movements and political reconfigurations happening that year, not only in Belgium but elsewhere in Europe and North America as well, must go beyond the rela- tively narrow confines of university student milieus. For the purposes of this essay, I propose also to address fresh developments occurring within the worlds of labor and cultural productions.

  • Ghisleri Massone
    Bergamo 28 gennaio 2006 Ghisleri massone Anna Maria Isastia La biografia massonica di Ghisleri Arcangelo Ghisleri è un tipico massone lombardo di fine ottocento. Risulta attivo nella celebre loggia milanese La Ragione di Rito Simbolico dal 28 febbraio 1878 al 1 gennaio 1883 1 quando si trasferisce come insegnante a Matera. La loggia La Ragione ha sede in via Nerino presso la Società democratica italiana , dove lo introduce l’amico Ferdinando Dobelli della Gazzetta di Milano, che è il primo maestro venerabile della loggia nata da una scissione della Cisalpina. Non è una loggia molto numerosa, ma ha lasciato il segno nella storia del Grande Oriente d’Italia. La biografia massonica di Ghisleri non è molto lineare, come del resto molte altre di quegli anni. Iniziato a Milano, il 21 dicembre 1879 Arcangelo Ghisleri è tra i fondatori della loggia Pontida di Bergamo 2, di Rito Simbolico, di cui diventa il Venerabile. Sappiamo che le riunioni da lui indette sono informali, prive di ogni ritualità. La loggia si scioglie con decreto n. 30 del 29 gennaio 1881 per la difficoltà di esistere in un contesto locale particolarmente ostile, ma anche perché Ghisleri si trasferisce a Milano. Viene ricostituita con decreto n. 40 del 13 settembre 1884 e riprende i lavori il 19 aprile 1885. Nel 1905 la loggia festeggia i 20 anni di vita, ignorando la prima fondazione del 1879. Ghisleri nel 1881-2 lavora a Milano in una società di esportazione e torna a frequentare la loggia La Ragione prima di abbandonarla di nuovo nel 1883 quando si trasferisce a Matera.
