Collective Actions of Solidarity against Food Insecurity
This book analyzes the issue of food insecurity in Europe. It highlights the role played by cities in promoting resilient, solidarity-based and food and nutritionally safe communities. The focus will be on three different local initiatives in Rome, Barcelona and Athens and on the relations between civil society and local public institutions in order to tackle with the food insecurity challenges. The research is aimed at understanding the paradox of food insecurity in wealthy societies. The focus will be on three European countries: Italy, Spain and Greece. An in-depth analysis on collective actions of solidarity to tackle food insecurity, will assess whether the initiatives are capabilities-oriented or merely compensating for shortcomings. Moreover, the contributions to the definition of a new food policy “by” and “for” the cities will be highlighted.
Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security
This book brings together research on cooperative management from the agriculture and food sector. By examining issues from food-policy, trade and environmental perspectives and presenting both methodological and empirical work, it allows readers to develop a deeper understanding of collective management processes and cooperative initiatives, and provides a theoretical background for promoting research in the various sectors in which market communities operate. On a more global level the offers insights into how to building powerful tools for decision making, particularly at a time when agriculture and the economy alike are affected by a volatile political, social and economical environment and are forced to undergo major structural changes.

L’utopia mancata
Il volume offre una riflessione sul potenziale trasformativo della crisi pandemica da Covid-19 sulla base dei dati raccolti attraverso due web survey condotte a distanza di poco più di un anno (maggio/giugno 2020 e settembre/ottobre 2021). A quattro anni di distanza dal primo caso ufficiale di contagio registrato in Italia poco sembra essere rimasto di quell’onda emotiva suscitata dallo shock di scoprirsi fragili, vulnerabili, soli, impotenti, ma anche più solidali e consapevoli di un destino comune, di fronte al pericolo di una morte di massa. Quel pensiero che più aleggiava nelle menti di ciascuno, ripetuto come un mantra dai media e dalle più autorevoli istituzioni, che “nulla pi...
Governing Complex Societies
Western societies are becoming increasingly complex and challenging to govern, yet the modern state continues to play a central role in governance. This book presents a detailed analysis of the challenges confronting the contemporary state and the processes through which the state addresses those challenges. The notion of 'governing without government' is critiqued; instead, Pierre and Peters argue that what is happening a more a matter of state transformation than state decline.
