Economic sanctions in international arbitration
2018

In a very extreme situation, economic sanctions can be used in a comprehensive manner, which means prohibiting all kinds of financial transactions with the sanctioned state. The aforesaid policy necessarily constitutes a significant influence on the commercial relations between individuals within a sanctioned state and their international contractual relations. The imposed sanctions can cause obstacles for performing contractual obligations, s can lead to the disputes in international arbitration. Nowadays, the issue of sanctions in international arbitration…
Work Environment, Stress, and Driving Anger: A Structural Equation Model for Predicting Traffic Sanctions of Public Transport Drivers.
2018
Public transport is an effective and sustainable alternative to private vehicle usage, also helping to reduce the environmental impact of driving. However, the work environment of public transport operators is full of adverse conditions, which, together with their high mileage, may increase the occurrence of negative safety outcomes such as traffic accidents, often preceded by risky road behaviors enhanced by stress, anger, and difficult operating conditions. The aims of this study were, first, to determine the association between work-related psychosocial factors and individual characteristics of public transport drivers and the rate of traffic sanctions they are subject to; and second, to…

The Design and Impacts of Individual Sanctions: Evidence From Elites in Côte d’Ivoire and Zimbabwe
2022
Since the 1990s, sanctions senders like the European Union, the United States, and the United Nations have been imposing visa bans and asset freezes on individuals as a key element of their sanctions packages. Notwithstanding the growing centrality that individual sanctions have acquired in international sanctions practice, little is known about the impact of sanctions listings on designees. Some researchers have scrutinised targeting choices, while others have explored the effects of sanctions on designees. However, no study has yet examined the fit between targeting choices and impacts on designees. First, we interrogate the theory of targeted sanctions to identify the expectations that i…

LE SANZIONI PER LE PERSONE GIURIDICHE NEI SISTEMI DI RESPONSABILITÀ DA REATO: SPUNTI DI CONFRONTO FRA SUD-AMERICA ED EUROPA
2019
The analysis of the sanctions for corporate criminal liability is conducted in a comparative perspective on two-fold level and scope. In the first place, the study consider the sanctions adopted in South-American jurisdictions which have introduced such responsibility, especially in the last twenty years, based on the UN instruments to contrast transnational organised crime and corruption. Then, the study will move to a parallel overview of the sanctions of EU jurisdictions. The analysis highlights analogies and differences both between the national systems from both contexts and between the two groups of jurisdictions. Overall, a process of ‘weak harmonisation’ is traced between the consid…
Sanzione religiosa, procedimenti giuridici e disincanto in Tucidide. Il dramma di Platea
2016
Il racconto tucidideo sul dramma di Platea, oltre ad essere di eccezionale intensità, è anche e soprattutto una riflessione sottile sui confini incerti e precari tra politica e morale, e sull’ambiguità e i rischi delle parole e del discorso pubblico: fuori dal logos, fuori dalla parola, che è sempre parola pubblica, non c’è politica, e dove non c’è politica ogni confine si dissolve e tutto diviene possibile. In questo terreno, su cui lo storico ateniese ci riporta continuamente, le sanzioni religiose e i procedimenti giudiziari invocati di volta in volta dai diversi protagonisti della narrazione sono di fatto sottoposti ad una riflessione corrosiva che ne smaschera la natura dissimulatrice.…
The impact of corruption on sport demand
2020
PurposeThe article presents an empirical analysis that evaluates the effects of a systemic corruption scandal on the demand in the short and the long run. In 2006, the Calciopoli scandal uncovered the match rigging in the Italian soccer first division. The exemplary sportive sanction of relegating the primary culprit to the second division imposed further negative externalities on the other clubs. Should we prefer the sportive sanction on the team or the monetary fines for the club?Design/methodology/approachWe estimated two log-linear models of the demand side (stadium attendance) using a fixed effect estimator, on two panel data set made of all the Italian soccer clubs in the first and se…
