„Demokracja in Progress”. Działalność Ministerstwa Spraw Zagranicznych na rzecz wzmacniania społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w Polsce
2016
Dyplomacja towarzyszy ludzkości od zarania dziejów i, podobnie jak polityka zagraniczna (z którą jest nieodłącznie kojarzona), podlega zmianom, adaptując się do zmienionych warunków środowiska międzynarodowego. Współczesny świat, który cechuje się znacznym stopniem skomplikowania, rosnącą liczebnością i różnorodnością aktorów międzynarodowych oraz sieciowością powiązań, tworzy zarówno dla polityki zagranicznej, jak i samej dyplomacji zupełnie nowe, nieznane dotąd wyzwania. Dzisiaj miarą ich efektywności jest stopień, w jakim odpowiedzialne za nie podmioty adaptują do swoich działań zasady dyplomacji publicznej. Ta ostatnia upodmiotowiła na arenie międzynarodowej niepaństwowych aktorów, nada…
The determinants and barriers of e-Government Adoption in the Municipality of Palermo
2014
La costante innovazione tecnologica fornisce nuovi spunti per la creazione di network efficienti e lo sviluppo di nuovi business. Anche la Pubblica Amministrazione (PA) vuole sfruttare tali opportunità. In particolare, la PA, attraverso l’implementazione di una strategia di e-Government può mirare a una maggiore efficienza, alla riduzione dell’errore umano e delle frodi. Tuttavia, non si tratta di un mero cambiamento di strumenti. Il passaggio a un’Amministrazione Digitale richiede un cambio di approccio manageriale. Partendo dalla somministrazione di un questionario (sul sito istituzionale del Comune di Palermo, 389 risposte utili) che ha confermato la poca consapevolezza dei cittadini rig…

INCOME AND QUALITY OF LIFE INFLUENCE ON CITIZENS' PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN LATVIA
2018
The aim of the paper is to analyse the factors influencing the citizen participation in activities of local governments in relation to quality of life in Latvia. The use of the CLEAR model, elaborated by a group of British researchers under guidance of Gerry Stoker, shows the possibilities of participation and engagement of citizens based on theoretical aspects. Latvia, as a member state of the EU, needs to develop and to involve more citizens in different social activities, since it has comparatively small experience in democratic processes due to its past of 50 years being a part of another country — the Soviet Union. The opportunities to participate in the European Parliament’s election …

The main question is studying when the centralization of this public economic function is welfare improving.

Our results highlight the superiority of centralized environmental spending with respect to the decentralization of this particular public good.
Autorità amministrative indipendenti e istituzioni politiche: questioni problematiche
2019
Le Autorità indipendenti rappresentano un modello di regolazione estraneo alla tradizione giuridica italiana, e, per questo, la loro collocazione ordinamentale ha suscitato, e continua a suscitare, dubbi e incertezze, riproponendo questioni fondamentali che appaiono tutt’altro che sopite. Inoltre, le dinamiche connesse al funzionamento delle Autorità indipendenti hanno evidenziato una notevole capacità evolutiva, per cui il loro ruolo ha conosciuto importanti mutamenti, assumendo caratteristiche diverse rispetto al funzionamento della forma di governo, e comportando nuovi assetti nelle relazioni con gli organi della legislazione, oltre che con gli organi della giurisdizione. Autonomia funzi…
A Choquet Integral Based Assessment Model of Projects of Urban Neglected Areas: A Case of Study
2014
This paper describes a multi-criteria evaluation model to support decisions related to the redevelopment of urban residual areas, a central theme in planning practices. Renewal projects on urban or neighborhood scale are complex problems because of the social, economic and environmental implications generated on the different categories of stakeholders. In the awareness of the specific characteristics of each city, the cognitive and evaluation model is especially defined for a given urban context, although it is easily adaptable to different urban ones. In order to take into account the interactions among the criteria by which we compare design alternatives, the Choquet integral is implemen…

From the Normative Heaven to Crude Matter. The Discursive Transformation of Good Government into Governance
2017
International audience; Abstract. The abundant use of the concept of good governance in political and media discourse can lead us to conclude that we are currently encountering a conceptual innovation. In actual fact it is an old concept that has its roots in classical political theory and resists any clear and precise definition. This article aims to reflect on the main changes experienced by the concept of good government and its metamorphosis into governance, by means of an analysis using a narrative of conceptual transformation from a normative logic to a technocratic logic.; Del cielo normativo a la tosca materia. La transformación discursiva del buen gobierno en gobernanza 1 María Áng…
The Impact of Government Spending on the Private Sector: Crowding-out versus Crowding-in Effects
2011
The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of government spending on the private sector, assessing the existence of crowding-out versus crowding-in effects. Using a panel of 145 countries from 1960 to 2007, the results suggest that government spending produces important crowding-out effects, by negatively affecting both private consumption and investment. Moreover, while the effects do not seem to depend on the different phases of economic cycle, they vary considerably among regions. The results are economically and statistically significant, and robust to several econometric techniques.
