Una cintura verde
L'autore ha ambientato questo breve romanzo d'amore e karate nella Milano degli anni '70, carica di passioni ideali e di tensioni politiche. I due giovani protagonisti, provenienti da ambienti sociali diversi, sono accomunati dall'amore per quest'arte marziale che muove i primi passi nel nostro Paese. Giorgio, il maestro, dovrà metterla in pratica non solo in torneo ma anche nella vita reale, per difendere il suo dojo dall'aggressione dei prepotenti. Paola, l'allieva, abituata a una vita facile, dimostrerà di essere maturata proprio grazie al karate e di aver capito il valore di ciò che si conquista con lo sforzo e l'impegno, superando i propri limiti fisici e mentali. Una cintura verde raffigura con grande realismo il mondo affascinante del karate tradizionale raccolto intorno al suo capo carismatico, il Maestro Hiroshi Shirai, e, senza cadere nella trappola dell'inverosimiglianza e della violenza fine a se stessa, (tipiche di tanta letteratura e cinematografia marziale) ci offre una storia d'amore e di azione che può interessare e commuovere anche le nuove generazioni.

Coping with Crisis
The financial crisis that erupted on Wall Street in 2008 quickly cascaded throughout much of the advanced industrial world. Facing the specter of another Great Depression, policymakers across the globe responded in sharply different ways to avert an economic collapse. Why did the response to the crisis—and its impact on individual countries—vary so greatly among interdependent economies? How did political factors like public opinion and domestic interest groups shape policymaking in this moment of economic distress? Coping with Crisis offers a rigorous analysis of the choices societies made as a devastating global economic crisis unfolded. With an ambitiously broad range of inquiry, Copi...
Fiscal Governance in Europe
This book presents a theoretical framework to discuss how governments coordinate budgeting decisions. There are two modes of fiscal governance conducive to greater fiscal discipline, a mode of delegation and a mode of contracts. These modes contrast with a fiefdom form of governance, in which the decision-making process is decentralized. An important insight is that the effectiveness of a given form of fiscal governance depends crucially upon the underlying political system. Delegation functions well when there are few, or no, ideological differences among government parties, whereas contracts are effective when there are many such differences. Empirically, delegation and contract states perform better than fiefdom states if they match the underlying political system. Additional chapters consider why countries have the fiscal institutions that they do, fiscal governance in Central and Eastern Europe, and the role of such institutions in the European Union.
The Brave New World of European Labor
Using a common framework developed by a collaborative Harvard University and Brandeis University affiliated research team, this volume surveys and analyzes the strategic responses of national unions in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain to the last two decades of economic change. Also evaluated is the response of Sweden, long seen as the most successful variation of the European model, as well as EU level transnational unionism. The volume concludes with a reflection on new union positions and their implications, particularly on the question of what will happen to the "European model of society" as a consequence.
