MATCH FIXING
“978-88-3324-087-9” Passi di: “MATCH FIXING”. iBooks. Who is behind match fixing? How is it done, and to which aim? In 2015 we wrote for Minerva Edizioni Game Over: a report targeted at practitioners, and more specifically at investigators. Since we did not want the book to be too ponderous, we provided a succinct description of a few topics that might have been interesting reading material even to “non-professionals”. These topics are dealt in depth in this volume: the history of match fixing, odd anecdotes and current state of affairs, the profile of its main characters and the explanation of the mechanisms (and complex motives) behind the swindle as well as the role played by ...
Match-Fixing in International Sports

This timely volume brings together international contributions with an aim is to increase awareness of the problems associated with match-fixing and the degree to which key agents in sport, ...

Game Over
l calcio è in pericolo e può morire. Ci sono dei Paesi dove è emerso, a seguito di numerosi scandali, che circa l’80% delle partite erano decise a tavolino, lontano dal campo di gioco. Le recenti indagini di polizia e magistratura partite nel 2011 e tutt’ora in corso con “Dirty Soccer” e “I Treni del Gol”, sono state l’ennesimo terremoto per il calcio italiano. Questo libro vuole rendere il lettore partecipe di quel che accade nel mondo parallelo del calcio truccato e soprattutto spiega cosa si può fare per salvare la genuinità dello sport più appassionante per gli italiani. I due autori, sulla base della loro specifica esperienza di cronaca sportiva e di conoscenze investigative, spiegano il match fixing: come si svolge, con quali metodi, quali legami abbia con la criminalità organizzata e il mondo delle scommesse. Un libro per calciatori, arbitri, allenatori e sportivi, ma anche per fans e per chi ama il calcio e vuole saperne di più: salvare il gioco più bello del mondo è possibile. Dopo aver letto questo libro non vedrete più una partita come l'avete vista finora.
The Grand Strategy of Comparative Law
This book features original essays by leading academics and emerging researchers written in honour of a legal comparatist who, over the course of four decades, has played a major role in comparative law’s development: Pier Giuseppe Monateri. Rather than being just a celebrative work without analytical appeal, this book makes a significant contribution to the comparative legal literature by exploring key comparative law themes and recent developments in the field. Reflecting Monateri’s vast expertise, innovative thinking, and truly global network, the volume is divided into five thematic areas of both scholarly and practical significance: Comparative Law and Its Methods; Comparative Priva...
Costruire un senso del territorio
Occuparsi di urbanistica è occuparsi dei processi di antropizzazione, ovvero di eventi non inevitabili o necessari ma che dipendono da scelte. Questo è ancor più vero nel momento in cui la globalizzazione moderna, fenomeno legato alle prima inesistenti opportunità tecnologiche – cioè la telematica, il trasporto aereo e quello ad alta velocità – sta modificando gli assetti territoriali che per millenni, ma soprattutto dalla rivoluzione industriale si sono concretizzati. Perdita di senso, di riferimenti sociali e culturali incombono e sembrano essere divenuti il prezzo da pagare per un indecifrabile percorso dettato negli ultimi decenni dall'economia che ha preso il sopravvento sulla...
The Western Codification of Criminal Law
This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.
Advances in Mitochondrial Medicine
Mitochondria are far more than the “powerhouse” of the cell as they have classically been described. In fact, mitochondria biological activities have progressively expanded to include not only various bioenergetic processes but also important biosynthetic pathways, calcium homeostasis and thermogenesis, cell death by apoptosis, several different signal transduction pathways mainly related to redox control of gene expression and so on. This functional and structural complexity may undergo important derangements so to justify the definition of ‘mitochondrial medicine’, which should include all the clinical consequences of congenital or acquired mitochondrial dysfunctions. There are act...
The Italian Academies 1525-1700
The intellectual societies known as Academies played a vital role in the development of culture, and scholarly debate throughout Italy between 1525-1700. They were fundamental in establishing the intellectual networks later defined as the ‘République des Lettres’, and in the dissemination of ideas in early modern Europe, through print, manuscript, oral debate and performance. This volume surveys the social and cultural role of Academies, challenging received ideas and incorporating recent archival findings on individuals, networks and texts. Ranging over Academies in both major and smaller or peripheral centres, these collected studies explore the interrelationships of Academies with ot...
