Rural Policy Challenges - Future of the CAP.
Rural development in the European Union has to face several challenges such as increasing international competition among agricultural markets; growing needs for rural services (multifunctional agriculture); Eastern enlargement: increase in number and area of distressed regions and growing disparities; ageing, limited Community budget; unsustainability of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Furthermore, among the so-called new challenges the climate change and water management (floods and droughts) need to be dealt with both on sectoral basis and interdisciplinary, in an integrated way.The paper intends to analyze and systematize the challenges facing the rural economy/rural development bo...
Simplification and Better Regulation in EU's Agricultural Policy
There is existing evidence on the importance of good governance for economic development. Good governance is not subject to universal agreement as it involves value judgment. Six indicators based on the World Bank's data set are, however, widely used. Among these indicators - voice and accountability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, control of corruption, rule of law, and political stability - this paper focuses on regulatory quality that is the ability of the government (EU) to formulate and implement sound policies - such as sound agricultural policy - and regulations that permit and promote private sector development and internalization of externalities. From the regulation ...
Better Regulatory Environment with More Transactional Costs as Regards the Agriculture of the EU?
The economy in the EU25 has to be made dynamic and sustainable by making sure that the governments do not make or cause unnecessary costs while pursuing their policies. To determine whether a certain policy in question is efficient, effective and equitable one has to have a closer look at a complex set of costs and benefits. If changes in policies are necessary for some reason that change should always result in net benefits. It applies particularly to the Common Agricultural Policy, as one of the most important common policies in financial terms. Due to the reform in 2003 and recent modification regarding certain market organizations new regulations have to be implemented efficiently. The q...
The Life of Leonardo da Vinci
A long-awaited new translation of Giorgio Vasari’s “Life of Leonardo da Vinci,” illustrated for the first time, that preserves Vasari’s compelling narrative and respects his meaning with a new precision. Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (1550 and 1568) is a classic of cultural history. In his monumental assembly of artists’ lives, no life is more vivid than that of Leonardo da Vinci, a near-contemporary of Vasari. Illustrated with the works of art discussed by Vasari, and including a selection of Da Vinci’s studies of science and technology, The Life of Leonardo da Vinci paints an intriguing picture of the progress of art in the h...
The Ashgate Research Companion to Giorgio Vasari
The Ashgate Research Companion to Giorgio Vasari brings together the world's foremost experts on Vasari as well as up-and-coming scholars to provide, at the 500th anniversary of his birth, a comprehensive assessment of the current state of scholarship on this important-and still controversial-artist and writer. The contributors examine the life and work of Vasari as an artist, architect, courtier, academician, and as a biographer of artists. They also explore his legacy, including an analysis of the reception of his work over the last five centuries. Among the topics specifically addressed here are an assessment of the current controversy as to how much of Vasari's 'Lives' was actually written by Vasari; and explorations of Vasari's relationships with, as well as reports about, contemporaries, including Cellini, Michelangelo and Giotto, among less familiar names. The geographic scope takes in not only Florence, the city traditionally privileged in Italian Renaissance art history, but also less commonly studied geographical venues such as Siena and Venice.

Botticelli
He was the son of a citizen in comfortable circumstances, and had been, in Vasari’s words, “instructed in all such things as children are usually taught before they choose a calling.” However, he refused to give his attention to reading, writing and accounts, continues Vasari, so that his father, despairing of his ever becoming a scholar, apprenticed him to the goldsmith Botticello: whence came the name by which the world remembers him. However, Sandro, a stubborn-featured youth with large, quietly searching eyes and a shock of yellow hair – he has left a portrait of himself on the right-hand side of his picture of the Adoration of the Magi – would also become a painter, and to tha...
