Promozione della democrazia dal basso? L’UE in Medio Oriente e Nord Africa
2014
La Primavera Araba ha sollecitato le istituzioni europee ad un ripensamento delle politiche dell’Unione Europea (UE) verso i Paesi dell’area medio-orientale. La Commissione europea ha iniziato ad avere un approccio più cauto sulle proprie possibilità di successo nel favorire i cambiamenti di regime politico dei Paesi terzi anche a causa della riduzione delle risorse finanziarie.

Il capitolo verifica l’efficacia delle strategie di promozione della democrazia nell’area del Mediterraneo sviluppa…

Rescue operations have also received widespread criticism from several other actors, instead others have expressed anxiety about the lack of concern, on the part of state representatives, for the humanitarian dimension of the phenomenon. The EU has not been able to act as a counterweight and has shown all the difficulties involved in enhancing solidarity and responsibility-sharing between member states. Moreover, there is a lack of mutual trust af…
The EU, Non-state Actors, and Peace-Support Policies in the Western Balkans
2015
This article focuses on the contribution of the EU towards and through NGOs and civil society groups in rebuilding the condition of peace and security in the post-war environment of the Western Balkans.

The result of the analysis is that, despite rhetoric on the importance of local ownership and of civil society actors, EU institutions comparatively…
