Democracy in Southern Europe
How have Malta and Cyprus - both EU members – transitioned from colonial island states to independent democracies? With the assistance of primary documentation this book traces the difficult path of these two states to becoming independent liberal democracies by using the pathway of democratization through decolonization. Using socio-economic and political data, analysed through the microscope of political science and international relations theories, Isabelle Calleja Ragonesi charts the progress of the two islands in the context of a number of four distinct phases. Firstly decolonization, independence and achieving the status of procedural democracies; secondly post-colonial independence consolidating democracy and regime breakdown; thirdly sovereign nation-state status and second attempts at consolidating democracy and finally attempting to reach substantive democracy status and EU membership. The study of these two states is contextualized within the context of democratization in Southern Europe and the cases of Malta and Cyprus provide new insights on the region for scholars of political science and international institutions.
Constitutional Law in Malta
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in Malta provides essential information on the country’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure. Thorough coverage by a local expert fully describes the political system, the historical background, the role of treaties, legislation, jurisprudence, and...

Lorenzo Milani's Culture of Peace

Laboratori per il benessere e lo sviluppo locale
Lo sviluppo locale di una comunità e di un territorio non si realizza solo per effetto della acquisizione e della concentrazione delle risorse economiche per sostenere e alimentare un macro sistema di Welfare, ma anche e soprattutto per ampliare le possibilità per una comunità di accedere a più diffuse opportunità di Wellbeing. Al centro ci sta, quindi, il “sentirsi bene” della persona, che amplia e potenzia le sue relazioni, intensifica la sua comunicazione con la comunità in cui si riconosce, orienta e in un certo senso adatta e specializza le sue abilità che gli consentono di partecipare ai sistemi strumentali della vita sociale, che vanno dalla produzione di beni e servizi all...

Dal Micro al Macro e ritorno
Tramontata l’epoca del predominio dell’agire economico nella definizione dei modelli di sviluppo dei sistemi locali, si sono affermati i paradigmi della crescita dei distretti industriali orientati alla riconversione (Florida 2008) e incentrati sul valore del talento, della creatività e di un approccio sistemico che vede coinvolti tutti gli attori sociali presenti sul territorio (Porter 2011, Sen 2010), ma si può “osare” ancora di più. È oramai tempo di far scendere – o meglio ridiscendere – in campo, in maniera decisiva, una dimensione essenziale e quanto mai “originale”, pur nella sua apparente ovvietà ed ineluttabilità: il valore della relazione.
Marxist Class Theory for a Skeptical World
Marxist Theory of Class for a Skeptical World is a critique of some of the influential radical theories of class, and presents an alternative approach to it. This book critically discusses Analytical Marxist and Post-structuralist Marxist theories of class, and offers an alternative approach that is rooted in the ideas of Marx and Engels as well as Lenin and Trotsky. It presents a materialist-dialectical foundation for class theory, and conceptualizes class at the trans-historical level and at the level of capitalism. It shows that capitalism is an objectively-existing articulation of exchange, property and value relations, between capital and labour, at multiple geographical scales, and that the state is an arm of class relation. It draws out implications of class relations for consciousness and political power of the proletariat.
