Chapter 1 provides a short summary of asylum before 1989. It focuses especially on the power, influence and composition of actors who advocated for generous asylum policies and actors who proposed restrictive asylum policies at crucial times throughout the twentieth century. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 analyse the case studies of Australia, Italy and Ireland. By setting traditional emigration countries against a traditional immigration country, EU countries against a non-EU country, Catholic countries against a multidenominational country, islands against a peninsula, common law states against a civil law state, as well as countries where boat people drove asylum debates against one that lacked boat people , many divergences and convergences emerged. Every country had, to a certain degree, a unique asylum system based on its own history, identity and geography. The comparative Chapter 5 reveals that despite inherent national differences, noticeable international asylum trends also appeared during this period. In contrast to people who applied for asylum during the Cold War, asylum applicants in the 1990s provided limited political and economic returns for receiver states. Accordingly, governing political parties inclined towards the formation of more restrictive asylum policies. But secular and religious NGOs, INGOs and certain opposition political parties loudly protested by referencing humanitarian ideals, national commitments to human rights and the rule of law. Acknowledging the challenges posed by actors sympathetic to asylum seekers, governments in the 2000s attempted

    ESTRATTI DALLA STAMPA LOCALE IL MESSAGGERO VENETO 2 FEBBRAIO 2021 L'obiettivo resta quello di avviare la campagna per gli over 80 dalla prossima settimana Pressing di Fedriga per ottenere più fiale. Oggi si attendono novità per l'uso di AstraZeneca Preoccupano i vaccini Meno di 90 mila dosi attese entro fine mese Mattia Pertoldi / udine Le incognite sulla fornitura dei vaccini. I dubbi sulle categorie cui destinare il nuovo prodotto targato AstraZeneca - consigliato da parte dell'Aifa soltanto per gli under 55 - e una campagna che doveva essere rapidissima, ma che invece procede a rilento, soprattutto se paragonata a quanto sta accadendo in Gran Bretagna, Israele, ma anche negli Stati Uniti. Le vaccinazioni, insomma, diventano la vera questione da affrontare e la sfida da vincere per l'Italia e per il Friuli Venezia Giulia con Massimiliano Fedriga che ne ha fatto pure il perno centrale del suo intervento in Consiglio regionale in quello che è diventato una sorta di appuntamento fisso per tracciare una sintesi della lotta alla pandemia.numeri e unione europeaIl presidente sta cercando di convincere le altre Regioni e il Governo - in questo senso un nuovo vertice è previsto per oggi - della necessità di tarare le future consegne dei vaccini non in percentuale alla popolazione tout court, bensì in relazione alla presenza in un determinato territorio di più o meno residenti della categoria ritenuta prioritaria. Considerato, pertanto, che la fase due della campagna dovrebbe riguardare innanzitutto gli over 80, Fedriga, assieme al collega Giovanni Toti, ha chiesto un aumento di dosi per il Friuli Venezia Giulia, seconda regione più vecchia d'Italia dopo, non a caso, la Liguria.

  • Racial Exclusion and Italian Identity Construction Through Citizenship Law
    L’Altro in Italia: Racial Exclusion and Italian Identity Construction through Citizenship Law Ariel Gizzi An Honors Thesis for the Department of International Relations Tufts University, 2018 ii Acknowledgements Over the course of this thesis, I received academic and personal support from various professors and scholars, including but not limited to: Cristina Pausini, Kristina Aikens, Anne Moore, Consuelo Cruz, Medhin Paolos, Lorgia García Peña, David Art, Richard Eichenberg, and Lisa Lowe. I also want to mention the friends and fellow thesis writers with whom I passed many hours in the library: Joseph Tsuboi, Henry Jani, Jack Ronan, Ian James, Francesca Kamio, and Tashi Wangchuk. Most importantly, this thesis could not have happened without the wisdom and encouragement of Deirdre Judge. Deirdre and I met in October of my senior year, when I was struggling to make sense of what I was even trying to write about. With her guidance, I set deadlines for myself, studied critical theory, and made substantial revisions to each draft I produced. She is truly a remarkable scholar and mentor who I know will accomplish great things in her life. And lastly, thank you to my parents, who have always supported me in every academic and personal endeavor, most of which are related in some way or another to Italy.

  • Yugoslav Destruction After the Cold War
    STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR A dissertation presented by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj to The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Political Science Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2015 STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December 2015 2 Abstract This research investigates the causes of Yugoslavia’s violent destruction in the 1990’s. It builds its argument on the interaction of international and domestic factors. In doing so, it details the origins of Yugoslav ideology as a fluid concept rooted in the early 19th century Croatian national movement. Tracing the evolving nationalist competition among Serbs and Croats, it demonstrates inherent contradictions of the Yugoslav project. These contradictions resulted in ethnic outbidding among Croatian nationalists and communists against the perceived Serbian hegemony. This dynamic drove the gradual erosion of Yugoslav state capacity during Cold War. The end of Cold War coincided with the height of internal Yugoslav conflict. Managing the collapse of Soviet Union and communism imposed both strategic and normative imperatives on the Western allies. These imperatives largely determined external policy toward Yugoslavia. They incentivized and inhibited domestic actors in pursuit of their goals. The result was the collapse of the country with varying degrees of violence. The findings support further research on international causes of civil wars.

ISSN 2281-910X How to quote: Malogioglio Maurizio et als. (2021), Migration, Economic and Social Development. A Students’ Handbook, ReShape Paper no.15, Jean Monnet Centre, University of Catania pg. 2 MIGRATION, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Foreword Although migration broke in international studies and course books about 20 years ago,1 probably migration studies as an academic discipline are still not well established in academic institutions of higher learning but the gap is being rapidly bridged in a synergy between such disciplines as development economics, sociology, anthropology, political science, international relations, law and, last but not least, journalism. This trend will help to avoid a silo approach when studying such a multifaceted phenomenon as migration. In recent years, students of the class on Migration and Development at the Master Course on Global Politics and Euro-Mediterranean Relations - GLOPEM - have asked whether manuals or handbooks could be used. Indeed, there are such publications, edited and written by leading scholars. The problem is that not only they can be voluminous, and not very affordable by students, but some of the topics that they cover need to be updated every year in such areas as flows of migrants and refugees, remittances, legal developments, multilateral and bilateral agreements.

Il 24 luglio 2001, presso la Commissione affari costituzionali del Senato, la senatrice Dentamaro, insieme a 8 altri senatori dell'opposizione (dei gruppi Magherita, Democratici di sinistra, Verdi), richiedeva, ai sensi dell'art. 48-bis del Regolamento, lo svolgimento di un'indagine conoscitiva. Successivamente, il 1¡ agosto, dagli stessi Gruppi di opposizione era presentata in Senato una proposta di inchiesta parlamentare sui fatti di Genova. Sia la proposta di indagine conoscitiva, sia la proposta di inchiesta erano tempestivamente iscritte all'ordine del giorno della Commissione affari costituzionali del Senato. Nella seduta antimeridiana del 1¡ agosto il Senato discuteva, respingendola, una mozione di sfiducia individuale, proposta dai Gruppi dell'opposizione nei confronti del Ministro dell'interno Scajola. Subito dopo la Commissione affari costituzionali del Senato conveniva all'unanimitˆ di procedere a una indagine conoscitiva sui fatti accaduti in occasione del Vertice G8 tenutosi a Genova. Contestualmente, la Commissione affari costituzionali della Camera dei deputati, in sede di Ufficio di Presidenza, conveniva su analoga proposta. Conseguentemente, il 2 agosto i Presidenti del Senato della Repubblica e della Camera dei deputati procedevano a un'intesa circa lo svolgimento congiunto dell'indagine conoscitiva da parte delle Commissioni affari costituzionali dei due rami del Parlamento.
