Riso e sorriso e altri saggi sulla nonviolenza nella Grecia antica

2018

Is nonviolence a specificity of oriental culture? The book explores the presence, in ancient Greece, of forms of thought and actions that can be brought back to the idea of nonviolent conflict management. It identifies the role that laughter and smile can play in the resolution of interpersonal contrasts; it illustrates the advice of ‘work on oneself’ as well as on the other, given by ancient philosophers; it focuses on some rules to combat violence without resorting to violence; it presents female mediation practices and identifies various forms of diplomacy, both from above and from below; at least it shows the effective dynamics in view of the reconciliation between adversaries in cases …

Sulle tracce di Ovidio epico? Contese tra padri e figli in Ps. Quint. decl. 258

2018

In the Minor Declamation 258 it is possible to notice some echoes of the Armorum iudicium of Ov. met. xiii 1-383, an episode whose success in Greece and Rome dates back to the Cyclic poems. Porcius Latro, the famous rhetorician and teacher of Ovid, chose this subject for one of his declamations and provided his pupil with a model: in fact, as showed by Sen. contr. ii 2, 8, the poet borrowed from the rhetor some literal expressions. We can also remember Sen. contr. x and Calp. decl. 21, two of the most important texts where the motifs of family disputes and reward for viri fortes are re-elaborated, in different ages. Therefore, the Minor declamation 258 is one of these interesting adaptation…

Interešu konflikts: Kipras un Piedņestras konfliktu salīdzinošā analīze.

2016

. Jau vairāk nekā četrdesmit gadus ilgā Kipras konflikta dēļ, salīdzinājumā ar Piedņestru Kiprai ir vairāk pieredzes mediācijā. Taču Kipras konfliktā gūtā pieredze var kalpot kā pozitīvu un negatīvu mediācijas piemēru kopums, jo abu konfliktu attīstības posmiem ir daudz kopīgu iezīmju. Abi konflikti ir piesaistījis daudzu valstu un starptautisko organizāciju uzmanību, tomēr ne vienmēr viņu iesaistīšanās ir palīdzējusi konflikta atrisināšanas procesā, dažreiz tā ir pat traucējusi konflikta risināšanā. Arī izmaiņas mediācijā dominējošo valstu lomās atspoguļo mainīgo starptautisko attiecību vidi. Konflikti Kiprā un Moldovā apdraud drošību Eiropaā, kas savukārt pierāda vajadzību pārskatīt pastā…

La Confederación fallida. Administración y usuarios en la cuenca del Turia (1928-1936)

2012

[EN] Between 1928 and 1936 the projects of river regulation in the Turia basin caused important conflicts. A private company, REVA, obtained a legal concession to build several reservoirs and hydropower stations. The traditional users rejected this initiative and promoted the creation of a basin authority, the Confederación Hidrográfica del Turia, in order to stop the private action, and to control the management of the river regulation. This article describes the different stages of this conflict, analyzing the position of all the involved agents, in order to improve our knowledge on a key period for the implementation of the Spanish basin authorities.

ROAD SAFETY PERFORMANCES FROM MICRO-SIMULATION CONSIDERING AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES OPERATIONS

2019

Introduction of Autonomous Vehicles in road traffic will remove the impact of the human factor from the driver’s decision-making process, and will transform the criteria for road network design, road infrastructure administration, traffic modeling and assessment tools for road safety management. The paper presents a microsimulation-based approach for safety performance evaluation of roundabouts where different percentages of Autonomous Vehicles are mixed with Conventional Vehicles. The simulated vehicle trajectories exported from VISSIM were used as a basis to estimate traffic conflicts through the Surrogate Safety Assessment Model (SSAM) for a sample of European roundabouts. In order to be…

Law as Power: Two Rule of Law Requirements

2013

Abstract. ‘Law as power’ is a neglected topic in contemporary analytical jurisprudence. Attention has been paid, from Hart (and Kelsen) onwards, to normative powers. ‘Brute’ social power, however, and law’s relation to it, are, in post-Hartian jurisprudence, largely overlooked. The subject of this paper is the shape social power takes when the rule of the law is envisaged as an ethico-political ideal—I discuss, that is, the Rule of Law as a specific mode of the exercise of social power, and what is valuable in it. I concentrate on two Rule of Law requirements, consistency (i.e., the avoidance of conflicts) and compliability (i.e., conformity to the ‘ought’ implies ‘can’ principle). They con…
