La riforma degli articoli 9 e 41 della Costituzione e la valorizzazione dell'ambiente.

2022

Con la riforma degli art. 9 e 41 della Costituzione, approvata l’8 febbraio 2022, l’ambiente entra nella Costituzione tra i principi fondamentali ed in qualità di limite all’esercizio dell’attività economica. Il saggio propone una lettura della riforma in grado di avvalorare quell’orientamento che, sin dal secolo scorso, propugnava la ricostruzione dell’ambiente come diritto fondamentale della persona, in linea con la valorizzazione dello stesso quale bene distinto dal paesaggio, in una prospettiva esistenzialista di tutela della persona. La modifica introdotta, secondo l’autore, colma un vuoto costituzionale, divenuto insostenibile alla luce degli sviluppi della tutela ambientale, così com…

British parliamentary attitudes towards a supranational parliament and the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe, 1948–49

2018

With a mounting communist threat from Eastern Europe after the Second World War, in Western Europe an attempt was made to create permanent structures not only to help in facilitating cooperation in different fields of life to rebuild societies, but to launch a common European supranational parliamentary body. The creation of the Council of Europe in May 1949 proved to be a compromise. It lacked a workable European parliament, as had been the vision of certain federalists in many Western European countries. During the creation process, the British foreign policy leadership emphasized the weak supranational parliamentarization of Western European politics. In this article, parliamentary debat…

The Linguistic Continua

2022

There is no doubt that there are inferential chains that break, and sometimes break suddenly. For instance, provided p and q are synonyms, that is, their respective meanings are contextually indistinguishable under the definition.

A Formal Skeleton of Commonsense Reasoning

2022

After referring several times to Commonsense or Ordinary Reasoning, let’s devote a few pages to present a (minimal) mathematical model of it that can be seen as the ‘Skeleton’ of Reasoning, since it is defined by a set of few, simple laws appearing in the models of particular and specialized modes of reasoning like, for instance: Boolean Algebras for the reasoning with precise concepts; Orto-modular lattices for the reasoning with the concepts of Quantum Physics; and also in the so called Algebras of Fuzzy Sets for the reasoning with imprecise concepts, and among them De Morgan-Kleene algebras. All these models have interesting applications.

Procedure and Debate in the British Parliamentary Culture

2016

Haapala illuminates the relationship between procedure and debate in the British parliamentary culture that was formed during the nineteenth century. While emphasising the constitutional shift to parliamentary government after the passing of the 1832 Reform Act, the chapter demonstrates its effects on the parliamentary culture with a special focus on the increasing role of debate and the attempts to reform House of Commons’ procedures. As well as drawing attention to the publicity of parliamentary proceedings and professionalisation of political journalism, Haapala uses rhetorical treatises and manuals to show the common attitudes towards parliamentary debate before and after the institutio…

The concept of the Royal Prerogative in parliamentary debates on the deployment of military in the British House of Commons, 1982–2003

2014

The article will discuss how one political key concept, the Royal Prerogative, was discussed in the British House of Commons in relation to the right to deploy and use armed troops abroad during the period 1982-2003, a time when the role of the British Parliament in decisions to deploy and commit troops to an armed conflict abroad was under extensive discussion in Parliament. This discussion began increasingly to address the state of the constitutional arrangements, more specifically the redefinition of the Royal Prerogative rights, the residual powers of the executive, as outdated in the understanding of modern representative democracy. The use of the concept was studied to reveal the atti…

Studies on mineral dust using airborne lidar, ground-based remote sensing, and in situ instrumentation

2018

In August 2015, the AER-D campaign made use of the FAAM research aircraft based in Cape Verde, and targeted mineral dust. First results will be shown here. The campaign had multiple objectives: (1) lidar dust mapping for the validation of satellite and model products; (2) validation of sunphotometer remote sensing with airborne measurements; (3) coordinated measurements with the CATS lidar on the ISS; (4) radiative closure studies; and (5) the validation of a new model of dustsonde.
