Coesione sociale, etica ed educazione
2017
In this article, social cohesion is presented in terms of belonging, interdependence, integration, sharing, participation, but also as corresponsibility between the different actors present in a territory. The promotion of social cohesion, therefore, essentially has to do with educational interventions aimed at social inclusion. Compared to the more traditional interventions on social emergencies, supporting social cohesion means in fact enhancing relations between members of society and promoting the common good through the collective assumption of responsibility. The role of the school is crucial in this, but also of lifelong learning, therefore the Third Mission of Universities.
Media Attention and Radical Right-Wing Populist Party Sympathy: Longitudinal Evidence From The Netherlands
2018
Contains fulltext : 201972.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) This contribution provides evidence for the sources of sympathies for radical right-wing populist (RRP) parties in a longitudinal perspective. We extend previous knowledge by evaluating the impact of media attention on individual changes of RRP party sympathies. To test our hypotheses, we use panel data from The Netherlands and combine it with information on the saliency of RRP parties and their issues in major Dutch newspapers. Drawing on multilevel structural equation models, our findings indicate that media attention positively affects changes in RRP party sympathies. Furthermore, we find that the effect of media atten…
The Study, From Romanian Perspective, Regarding the Reform Priorities of the Cohesion Policy
2013
This paper analyses the targets of the Romanian state according to Europe’s 200 Strategy. Being a new Member State, Romania’s targets for 2020 are lower than those of the older members. Even like this, using Eurostat indicators and the Report of World Economic Forum, my purpose is to present a comprehensive view of these differences in target levels and to explain why Romania can’t catch up with its older counter parts until 2020.
Sustainable Development and the Practice of Spatial Planning: A Proposal of Criteria for Measuring the Overall Sustainability of Planning Actions in …
2021
The sustainable city debate is gaining ground in recent years, featuring as a prominent issue in several policy documents of the European Commission, and enjoying support by the main organisations and institutions at international level. At the same time, improving local governance standards by involving citizens in local decision-making is a recurring issue in the debate on local democracy and enhancement of community cohesion. This paper presents an analysis of the European experience and best practice relating sustainable development to the day-to-day practice of spatial planning. The overall purpose is creating a proposal of indicators for measuring the sustainability of planning action…
Sustainable Development and Transition Management: A New Approach for European Peripheral Areas
2020
This paper on Europe as a sustainable economy and its policy for peripheral areas contributes to the analysis on the relationship between Transition Management and new approaches to regional development. It follows that regions are different ecosystems which require not only conventional macroeconomic visions for development processes, but also a precise spatial approach based on different levels of geographical aggregation. The physical environment, therefore, becomes a useful element not only to analyze the transition mechanisms, but also as a constitutive part of economic, social and environmental changes in the short, medium, and long term. A number of interesting aspects are examined a…
Place-based. Sviluppo locale e programmazione 2014-2020
2016
L’Unione Europea nel 2013 ha approvato un nuovo apparato regolamentare che inserisce, nell’attuazione degli obiettivi dei Trattati in materia di coesione socio-economica e territoriale, la metodologia di sviluppo place-based, applicata in Italia dal Programma di Iniziativa Comunitaria Leader (Patti Territoriali). Per gli attori dello sviluppo locale in Italia si tratta di un passo indietro, in quanto diverso è l’approccio sin qui sperimentato. Sviluppo locale o sviluppo place-based: un concetto che è stato spesso al centro del dibattito politico in Italia negli ultimi venti anni, oggi anche nell'Unione Europea, e che riveste un ruolo storico di riferimento rispetto al tema affrontato nel vo…
Introduction : spaces of upset in the Nordic region
2022
Abstract This introductory article opens the thematic issue Spaces of Upset in the Nordic Region. It introduces the contributions of the issue, outlines the concepts that unite them, and discusses the sociolinguistic area in which they are set: the Nordic region. Centering on Denmark, Finland and Sweden, the article offers an overview of some of the sociolinguistic, ideological and political characteristics of the region and the countries it comprises. The Nordic region is widely seen as a paradigm case of social stability, consensus and cohesion. This vision is, however, a mirage. To be sure, upset often lingers below the discursive veneer of Nordic harmony, concord and agreement. Breaking…
Team Feedback Intervention and Team Learning in Virtual Teams: A Moderated Mediation Model of Team Cohesion and Personality
2018
Part 2: ICT4D and Improvement of ICTs; International audience; Scholars and practitioners agree that virtual teams (VTs) have become commonplace in today’s digital workplace. Relevant literature argues that learning constitutes a significant contributor to team member satisfaction and performance, and that, at least in face-to-face teams, team cohesion fosters team learning. Given the additional challenges VTs face, e.g. geographical dispersion, which are likely to have a negative influence on cohesion, in this paper we shed light on the relationship between team cohesion and team learning. We adopted a quantitative approach and studied 54 VTs in our quest to understand the role of feedback…
Team Coordination in Basketball: Description of the Cognitive Connections Among Teammates
2010
International audience; This study investigated team coordination in basketball using the course-of-action theoretical framework. The focus was on how the players were connected with their teammates' activities. The activity of five French basketball players (17.60 ± .89 years) was studied during an official match. The data were collected and processed according to a procedure defined for course-of-action analysis. The results were used to characterize the coordination modes among players and the team coordination network that was built. The processes that underlie team coordination are discussed (i.e., mutuality and awareness), and some directions for practical applications are addressed.
Gobernanza territorial para el desarrollo sostenible : estado de la cuestión y agenda
2008
Joaquin.Farinos@uv.es La gobernanza territorial se ha convertido en el instrumento en el que se encuentran depositadas las esperanzas de una más efectiva gestión y gobierno de las políticas de desarrollo territorial. A lo largo del presente texto, en los sucesivos epígrafes, se analizan sus puntos fuertes y limitaciones; las estratégicas relaciones dialécticas –en ascendente sinergia– entre la gobernanza territorial, los objetivos de Lisboa y la cohesión territorial; porqué la planificación del desarrollo territorial sostenible es uno de los campos predilectos de aplicación de nuevas formas de gobernanza (entre ellos el Método Abierto de coordinación).
