It aims to offer a mixture of conventional and specific analyses and insights for different groups of readers. In view of the European Union's multi-level and multi-actor polity, the book highlights the complex procedural and institutional set-up of nation states preparing and implementing decisions made by the institutions of the European Community (EC).

Wiring Europe
Involving both integration and liberalization, the state of telecommunications in Europe has undergone radical change in the past few years. Natalicchi (political science, U. of Florence, Italy) examines the external and internal forces of change originating from international, national, and European Union levels.

Issues like aestheticisation, thematisation and genericity are dealt with, conceptual categories that highlight the weak resistance cities put up against the rules of the leisure industry and, more ge...
La cittadinanza tra giustizia e democrazia
Il volume propone un ritratto di Sergio Caruso come studioso, filosofo e intellettuale, e riflette sulla sua esperienza accademica e culturale. La pluralità di contributi che il libro raccoglie è riassunta in una parola chiave a lui assai cara: cittadinanza. A essa Caruso, al culmine della sua maturità, ha dedicato pagine di grande rilievo mostrando, per usare le sue parole, «come questa nozione – in origine un concetto esclusivamente giuridico – abbia acquisito una crescente importanza nelle scienze sociali e nella teoria politica», in quanto non più e non solo «insieme statico di diritti e doveri legati all’appartenenza del soggetto alla comunità politica» bensì «fascio di funzioni sociali» e «forza collettiva emergente»: quindi leva di nuove domande di ‘democrazia’.
