Dall’ascesa territoriale al logoramento governativo, dalla guerra intestina al declino, cominciato con una piccola questione morale che si è trasformata in uno scandalo senza precedenti. Per la Lega si è aperta una fase nuova: la parabola del Senatùr si è conclusa ed è iniziata quella di Roberto Maroni che punta tutto sul rinnovamento generazionale per riconquistare la fiducia degli elettori. Ma riuscirà davvero Bobo a traghettare il partito verso un nuovo assetto oppure i pretoriani di Umberto Bossi si metteranno di traverso? La lotta sarà impervia e l’esito non è per nulla scontato. Tranne che per un fatto su cui non ci può essere alcuna incertezza. Ciò che si è perso è il mito della Padania. Perduta, questa sì per sempre.
Ogni giorno decine di migliaia di persone abbandonano il loro paese, in fuga da conflitti, guerre civili, scontri etnici o religiosi, da condizioni di vita insostenibili. Partono da città e villaggi dell’Africa e del Medioriente, da luoghi così remoti che non sono neanche segnalati sulle carte geografiche. Vanno a ingrossare il flusso dei migranti che si riversa nel Mediterraneo, diretto verso un futuro diverso e, forse, migliore. In questo esodo, le coste della Sicilia costituiscono uno snodo per il traffico di esseri umani, gestito da organizzazioni criminali senza scrupoli.

This publication examines the impact of socio-economic policies on social exclusion of vulnerable groups in central and eastern Europe and identifies types, degrees and common characteristics of social deprivation.

With its physical beauty and kaleidoscopic cultural background, Sicily has long been a source of inspiration for filmmakers. Twelve new essays by international scholars--and additional writings from directors Roberta Torre, Giovanna Taviani, and Costanza Quatriglio--seek to offset the near-absence of scholarship focusing on the relationship between the Mediterranean island and cinema. Touching on class relations, immigration, gender and poverty, the essays examine how Sicily is depicted in fiction, satire and documentaries. Situated between North and South, East and West, innovation and tradition, authenticity and displacement, Sicily acts as a microcosm of the world, a place to explore numerous narratives and develop intercultural dialogue. It is also the center of cinematographic discussions and events such as the Taormina Film Festival and the SalinaDocFest. The volume presents Sicily almost as a character and creator in its own right.

Almost two decades after the events of 9/11, this Handbook offers a comprehensive insight into the evolution and development of terrorism and insurgency since then. Gathering contributions from a broad range of perspectives, it both identifies new technological developments in terrorism and insurgency, and addresses the distinct state responses to the threat of political, or religiously motivated violence; not only in the Middle East and Europe, but also in Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and North and South America.
