Evaluating the Evaluation. The pros and cons of ‘VQR’ in social and political research
Between science and economic development, and in the name of democratic control over themanagement of public resources, governments have progressively gained a role in mechanisms of knowledge production. In severalcountries, the United Kingdom, Australia, and France being the most well known cases, this has resulted in various evaluationexercises. All have generated wide debate within the scientific community on the most appropriate methods and criteria to be used
Two-particle transverse momentum correlations in pp and p-Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
Two-particle transverse momentum differential correlators, recently measured in Pb--Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), provide an additional tool to gain insights into particle production mechanisms and infer transport properties, such as the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, of the medium created in Pb-Pb collisions. The longitudinal long-range correlations and the large azimuthal anisotropy measured at low transverse momenta in small collision systems, namely pp and p-Pb, at LHC energies resemble manifestations of collective behaviour. This suggests that locally equilibrated matter may be produced in these small collision systems, simil…
L'Unione Europea nel sistema politico globale [in Cinese]
This book assumes that the EU is a political system with a complex of institutions, rules and policies. The EU as a political system exerts functions as any other political system, by distributig its functions among actors working at different political layers as in a multi-layered political sytem (Part 1). The book focuses in particular upon the EU foreign and defence policy (Part 2), EU relations with third countries, grouped into world regions (Par 3), EU-UN relations and the management of global problems (Part 4).
