The Human Right to Social Security and Its Impact on Socio-Political Action in Germany and Finland
2017
Social human rights have rarely been given attention in social work research or comparative studies on welfare states. The paper aims at filling the gap by analysing the conception of human beings inherent in human rights and in unemployment policy documents in Germany and Finland. Its focus lies on the right to social security, a central norm of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The main question is what impact does the right to social security have on socio-political action in Germany and Finland. The results of the analysis, which was based on the objective hermeneutics, revealed a structural similarity between the conceptions of human beings in both cou…
CONFLICTING CITIZENSHIP AND (RE)ACTIVE ZONES IN THE URBAN AREAS: CONFRONTING THE CASE OF BERLIN AND ROME
In tempi di crisi, la voglia di immaginare un futuro migliore e diverso prende il sopravvento. A partire dagli sconvolgimenti politici e sociali del '68 passando attraverso le crisi sistemiche del 1970 e ad ogni crisi da allora, le città europee hanno assistito a fenomeni di "riappropriazione" di spazi fisici urbani che sono stati sperimentati da movimenti sociali e volontariamente appropriati poi come pratiche dal basso dagli abitanti delle citta` che hanno utilizzanto la "occupazione" come una tattica legittima di protesta. Le pratiche di riappropriazione, sono state inoltre messe in pratica dalla cittadinanza insorgente, negli ultimi decenni, per resistere alla crisi dello stato sociale …

Italy in Uncertain Times: Europeanizing Foreign Policy in the Declining Proces of the American Hegemony
2019
Il libro analizza l'influenza dei cambiamenti nell'ordine internazionale egemonico a guida americana sulle variazioni nei pilastri tradizionali della politica estera italiana (USA, UE e multilateralismo) ed il ruolo che l'Italia gioca all'interno di quell'ordine. Per esplorare queste variazioni, il libro propone un'analisi del comportamento di voto e di sponsorizzazione dell'Italia alle Nazioni Unite nel periodo 2000-2017, guardando sia all'Assemblea Generale sia al Consiglio di Sicurezza, ed enfatizza l'importanza di quest'ultima sede per individuare i riflessi dei cambiamenti nel sistema internazionale sul comportamento italiano. Concentrandosi sul comportamento coalizionale, il libro esp…

Human Rights in Tourism: Conceptualization and Stakeholder Perspectives
2007
The present paper is an attempt to integrate the concept of human rights into the mainstream tourism discourse. In the name of development, human rights are often neglected while there are definite long-term advantages to be gained by actively promoting it. The paper examines the human rights perspectives of the major stakeholder groups in tourism to finally arrive at a comprehensive picture. Implications of some of the general principles and proclaimed guidelines of human rights for tourism are discussed. It is concluded that sustainable development of tourism is not possible until human rights as a relevant category is recognized by all the stakeholders. In addition, a case study is provi…
Equal access to the top? Measuring selection into finnish academia
2019
In this article, we draw a parallel between equality of opportunity in educational transitions and equality of opportunity in academic careers. In both cases, many methodological problems can be ameliorated by the use of longitudinal rather than cross-sectional data. We illustrate this point by using Finnish full-population register data to follow the educational and academic careers of the 1964–1966 birth cohorts from birth to the present day. We show how the Finnish professoriate is highly selected both in terms of parental background and in terms of gender. Individuals of different backgrounds differ greatly in the likelihood of completing different educational and academic transitions, …
Intellectual property rights and economic growth
2015
Striving for greater economic growth, requires a great understanding of the underlying factors. One of the factors may be the intellectual property rights and the level of its protection. Whether it is and how does it behave are the questions answered by this thesis. The theoretical framework comes mainly from the Schumpeterian growth model. The empirical methodology uses GMM in order to obtain reliable results. The level of intellectual property rights protection in the country does seem to have a positive effect on the country’s growth rate. Furthermore it seems that the relation is non-linear: The incremental changes are different between low and high starting levels of the IPR protectio…
The taxpayer’s Human Rights in the Examination of the European Court of Human Rights
2009
La giurisprudenza della Corte dei diritti dell'uomo, tradizionalmente restia ad estendere la tutela delle norme convenzionali anche alle controversie tributarie, ha ammesso in tempi recenti importanti aperture. Un'interpretazione costituzionalmente orientata secondo i principi del"giusto processo" sanciti negli artt. 24 e 111 della Costituzione italiana, dovrebbe orientare l'interprete verso il riconoscimento pieno dei diritti del contribuente, sia nella fase "procedurale" che giudiziale.
