The Political Economy of Policy Ideas
In 2008, the European Commission relaunched the policy idea of active inclusion, with the aim of facilitating the integration of people into sustainable and quality employment. Over ten years later, and in the aftermath of one of the most trying periods in Europe’s recent economic history, this book provides a critical and timely reassessment. The Political Economy of Policy Ideas contributes to the growing scholarly literature on ideational political economy and labour market regulation by providing a systematic analysis of the idea of active inclusion and its three core principles: activation, conditionality and personalization. The research breaks new ground by detailing how divergent interpretations of these principles, by relevant social actors in different contexts, have shaped their implementation. The book is of interest to scholars and students across comparative political economy, economic sociology, welfare and industrial relations studies.

Digitalization and the Welfare State
This volume explores how digitalization--in different forms--affects the welfare state. Digitalization is likely to have a lasting impact on work, welfare, and the distribution of income. It will radically transform not only social risks in health, education and the labour market, but also the means by which these risks are addressed. The volume studies how digitalization affects policies as well as the underlying power relationship between actors, i.e. the politics of the welfare state. The volume brings together internationally renowned welfare-state scholars to identify - the socio-economic challenges that result from rapid technological change; - the ensuing political conflicts and strug...

Defining and Protecting Autonomous Work
This book, adopting a multidisciplinary approach, investigates the definition of autonomous work and the kind of protection it receives and should receive in a global perspective. The book advocates for the existence of genuine autonomous work to be distinguished from employment and false self-employment. It deserves specific attention from legislators in the view of removing any obstacles to the exercise of freedom of association and collective action at large. The book is divided into two parts. The first focuses on the evolving notion of autonomy and its consequences on social protection, offering a theoretical frame from an organizational, political and legal point of view. The second aims at discovering new regulatory and protective horizons for autonomous work, in the light of blockchain, platform work, EU Competition Law, social security and liberal professions. Finally, the authors offer insights and recommendations on how to protect work beyond categories.
Rationalized and Extended Democracy
In this book, Giovanni Molteni Tagliabue asserts that the realization of the values and the implementation of the objectives as indicated in democratic constitutions (political, social rights and the people’s welfare) are hindered by structural defects of the legislative/government architecture and processes. Expertise and science have scarce say in politics and policy. The author suggests an innovative view through the ‘REDemo Project’. 1. Rationalization: the insertion of public scientists into legislative/executive mechanisms, with the creation in each democracy of a National Scientific Assembly – parallel to the extant partypolitical Chamber of Representatives – consisting of a...
Introduzione a Dahrendorf
Ralf Dahrendorf è stato uno degli studiosi più originali delle trasformazioni della società contemporanea, un punto di riferimento teorico, per il pensiero politico del Novecento, alternativo sia al liberalismo classico che al marxismo. È considerato uno dei pochi teorici sociali ad avere continuato nel solco della tradizione classica che mira a «catturare la propria epoca nel pensiero». Al centro della sua analisi sono le chances di vitae la libertà attiva al fine di cogliere la direzione e la qualità dei processi di cambiamento sociale. Affrontando i temi del conflitto sociale nella modernità, delle disuguaglianze e delle classi, del rapporto tra democrazia e capitalismo, tra mercato, società civile e stato, Ralf Dahrendorf solleva anzitempo una delle questioni principali che si pongono alle società europee del XXI secolo: la difficoltà di conciliare crescita economica, coesione sociale e libertà politica.
Eirene e Atena
Questa raccolta di saggi è stata concepita e realizzata da un gruppo di allievi di Umberto Gori, eminente rappresentante della prima generazione di studiosi di Relazioni internazionali in Italia, costantemente impegnato su molteplici fronti di ricerca – dalle organizzazioni internazionali alla teoria delle relazioni internazionali, dagli studi strategici all’analisi previsionale. Si è voluto dunque rendere onore alla sua brillante carriera raccogliendo gli scritti di quei suoi allievi che, a loro volta, si sono dedicati alla ricerca e all’insegnamento e che riconoscono un debito intellettuale nei suoi confronti. Il volume è organizzato attorno a tre temi generali, attinenti agli interessi di Gori: il sistema internazionale nella sua duplice articolazione tra competizione e collaborazione; la politica estera e la governance regionale; l’ordine internazionale contemporaneo.
