Immigrant Integration in Europe
This topical book sheds light on immigrants’ subjective well-being by analysing the main factors associated with self-reported life satisfaction among immigrants and natives. It thereby draws upon subjective components of well-being, which are now receiving growing attention in well-being research. It also fills in a gap in migration research, which has not yet focused on the study of immigrants’ well-being. Starting from a broader focus on Europe, the book then looks more closely at Italy. This is a key country in the immigration policy field in Europe, but where the study of immigrants’ integration from a subjective perspective has been rarely addressed so far. The book provides suggestions for constructing and implementing immigration and integration policies by not only taking into account the needs of the host societies, but also the experiences, opinions, requirements and expectations of immigrants. This book is very useful for academic and policy researchers working on immigrant integration issues.
Italy in a European Context
This edited collection investigates the role of Italy in pursuing the EU five targets by 2020: R&D/innovation expenditures; the energetic measures for climate change; migration; the counter actions against poverty and social exclusion. This ambitious book uses a multidisciplinary approach and original field studies to tackle this important topic.
Migration in the Mediterranean
Migration in the Mediterranean region is a widely debated and much studied topic. This is due to the present refugee crisis, consequences of Arab revolutions, the proximity with emigration and transit countries, but also to the involvement of southern European countries and the mass arrival of migrants. The management of Border controls, migration, development, human trafficking, human rights and the clash or convergence of civilizations has generated a great deal of controversy and media attention. Migration in the Mediterranean offers a unique multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework, bringing together scholars from different subject areas. This book aims to address the f...
Exploring Gender and Sikh Traditions
This volume gathers scholars who focus on gender through a variety of disciplines and approaches to Sikh Studies. The intersections of religion and gender are here explored, based on an understanding that both are socially constructed. Far from being static, as so often presented in world religions textbooks, religious traditions are constantly in flux, responding to historical, cultural and social contexts. So too is ‘the’ Sikh tradition in terms of practices, ideologies, rituals, and notions of identity. We here conclude that ‘a’ Sikh tradition does not exist; instead, there are numerous forms thereof. In this volume, Sikhism is presented as a collection of ‘Sikh traditions’. G...
Oltre i Confini

L’immigrazione in Italia da Jerry Masslo a oggi
L’omicidio del giovane sudafricano Jerry Essan Masslo, il 24 agosto 1989 a Villa Literno, segnò l’inizio della scoperta dell’immigrazione da parte degli italiani. Sino ad allora gli immigrati non facevano notizia, anche se il saldo migratorio in Italia era già positivo da tempo. Dalla vicenda Masslo tutto cambiò: ci s’interrogò sul razzismo, si discusse di regole sull’immigrazione, con la presentazione di un pacchetto di norme che avrebbe costituito la base della Legge Martelli, il dibattito pubblico si polarizzò, tra chi voleva mantenere politiche d’accoglienza e chi invocava la chiusura delle frontiere. Sullo sfondo c’erano imponenti cambiamenti internazionali: il crollo...

La Rivista di Studi Politici Internazionali è una rivista scientifica, interdisciplinare, che ha una lunga tradizione. Essa è stata fondata a Firenze nel 1934 dai Professori Giacinto Bosco e Jacopo Mazzei e dagli Ambasciatori Amedeo Giannini e Cesare Majoni nello Studio di politica estera del Regio Istituto "Cesare Alfieri", allo scopo di promuovere gli studi politici internazionali e di contribuire alla formazione dei giovani destinati alla carriera politica, diplomatica o ad operare in altro modo in campo internazionale. E' stata diretta ininterrottamente dal Professore Giuseppe Vedovato dal 1947 al 2005 e a partire dal 2006 ne è direttore la Professoressa Maria Grazia Melchionni".

Shakespeare and the Mediterranean 1: Romeo and Juliet
The Mediterranean of Shakespeare’s dramas is a vast geopolitical space. Historically, it spans from the Trojan war to Greek mythology and the ancient Roman empire; geographically, from Venice and Sicily to Cyprus and Turkey, from Greece to Egypt, the Middle East and North Africa. But it is also the Mediterranean of Renaissance Italian cities and Romeo and Juliet is a beautiful example of how exotic frontiers for an English gaze may be replaced by closer yet different cultural Mediterranean frames. The volume offers studies on the circulation of the story of Romeo and Juliet and its ancient archetypes in early modern Europe, from Greece to Italy, France and Spain, as well as on contemporary receptions and performances of Shakespeare’s play in Sicily, the Balkans, Israel and Jordan.
Art, Gender and Migration in the Kurdish Diaspora
This book focuses on the cultural and intellectual activities of Kurdish migrant women through artistic and aesthetic forms of production in Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden and the UK. Using in-depth interviews with over 40 Kurdish women artists, Ozlem Galip examines how artistic, literary and cultural productions, incorporating the fields of film, theatre and music, are articulated within the structures of nation states, leading to the interrogation of the impact of western and local knowledge, patriarchy, the nation-state and globalisation. Galip also analyses how European policies affect the development of cultural engagement of Kurdish migrant women, and how such engagements help these women to integrate into European society. Examining the gendered experiences of diaspora from all four regions of Kurdistan; Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey, this book challenges ideas about gender, migration and art through the lens of women artistic production with a focus on women-led activism and the changing integration and migration policies of Europe.
