El principio de buena administración y la gobernanza en la contratación pública
2020
Las exigencias de la sociedad sobre la administración pública pasan por profundizar en el comportamiento y en la dedicación profesional, sobre todo, de los administradores y gestores públicos. Todo ello no es más que trasunto del principio de buena administración que, como ya he destacado, es hoy un derecho de los ciudadanos, que reclama mayor objetividad en la toma de decisiones, mayor intensidad en la defensa de los derechos de los ciudadanos, más transparencia, más control y, sobre todo una más proactiva rendición de cuentas. Se trata, en definitiva, de imbuir a los gestores públicos y a los ciudadanos que más frecuente y estrechamente se relacionan con ellos, de sentimientos de ética, d…
Innovaciones metodológicas en los estudios comparativos de los costes y financiación de la educación
1997
Most past cost and finance studies of education have been limited by the lack of available data covering all aspects of the problem. As a consequence, the most widespread indicator at the international level has been for a long time the share of the GDP allocated to public education expenditure. Since about ten years, thanks to OECD initiative, new efforts have been undertaken in order to provide a better coverage of education cost and finance, in particular in the field of private expenditure. These new efforts have been extented to the adoption of a more comparable definition of education (early childhood education, adult education, aso). They have also included the elaboration of new ind…
Comparative morphology of the postpharyngeal gland in the Philanthinae (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae) and the evolution of an antimicrobial brood protect…
2015
Background Hymenoptera that mass-provision their offspring have evolved elaborate antimicrobial strategies to ward off fungal infestation of the highly nutritive larval food. Females of the Afro-European Philanthus triangulum and the South American Trachypus elongatus (Crabronidae, Philanthinae) embalm their prey, paralyzed bees, with a secretion from a complex postpharyngeal gland (PPG). This coating consists of mainly unsaturated hydrocarbons and reduces water accumulation on the prey’s surface, thus rendering it unfavorable for fungal growth. Here we (1) investigated whether a North American Philanthus species also employs prey embalming and (2) assessed the occurrence and morphology of …

Les paradoxes de l'emploi féminin sur le pourtour méditérranéen
2012
Cette invitation originale à un voyage sur le pourtour de la Méditerranée permet de mieux appréhender les raisons de la colère des jeunes. L'analyse comparative dans quatorze pays révèle les paradoxes de l'emploi féminin dans des contextes sociaux, démographiques, culturels et économiques, plus ou moins distants, à la lumière de données statistiques les plus récentes. Ces contrées reflètent une image pessimiste : en écho d'une segmentation du marché du travail, le chômage frappe particulièrement la jeunesse, les itinéraires des jeunes femmes ressemblent à un dédale d'incertitudes et de contradictions. Pourtant, certains pays leur offrent davantage d'opportunités.

Developing a new approach to managing and mediating conflicts
2017
Generally speaking, words can be elusive and they need to be carefully selected when conveying messages, ideas and proposals between parties. This is all the more evident in mediation process as language has to be neutral and mediators should avoid expressions directing parties. In this regard, recent theoretical developments in postmodern social theory and the social constructionist movement in the social sciences and humanities have provided the field of alternative dispute resolution with a new approach to managing and mediating conflicts. These developments are organized around the ‘narrative approach’ which helps us to see how the language we use to describe and understand our conflict…
Negotiating the Terminological Borders of ‘Language Mediation’ in English and Italian. A Discussion on the Repercussions of Terminology on the Practi…
2015
Linguistic and cultural mediation has been playing an increasingly important role in contemporary society as a result of the intensification of international exchanges and migration flows; however, the definitions that have been given of it are still rather vague and inconsistent. In some cases linguistic and cultural mediation is seen as a broad superordinate category, comprising a range of different interlinguistic and intercultural activities serving the purpose of facilitating communication across languages, cultures and societies in various areas of civil society: industry, business, trade, law, literature, academia, institutions, public services, etc. In other cases, instead, the defi…

Sul significato di "rimedi"
2014
The purpose of this essay is to reframe the conceptual division between rights and remedies by identifying those issues that are generally raised in the legal discourse when dealing with the two perspectives. The focus will be particularly on: policies that govern rights and remedies, judicial discretion, and judicial interpretation. While the traditional account based on a sharp opposition of rights and remedies proved to be untrustworthy, the proposed conceptualization helps to outline the distinction in a more realistic way.
