Il ruolo del Consiglio europeo nella Brexit
2019
Il Consiglio europeo ha svolto un ruolo di primo piano nella Brexit. L’articolo cerca di spiegare che questo ruolo è stato più ampio rispetto a quello espressamente conferito dall’art. 50 TUE per affrontare poi due problemi: nello svolgere questo ruolo il Consi- glio europeo ha agito solo come istituzione dell’Unione europea o anche come vertice di capi Stato? E ha rispettato il principio dell’equilibrio istituzionale? The European Council has been playing a leading role in Brexit procedure. This article aims at showing how this role does not simply reflect the powers explicitly assigned to the European Council under Article 50 TEU. Two more questions are addressed: In performing its role h…
Foucault e il potere. Una risistemazione analitica
2014
In questo articolo proporrò una ricostruzione della concezione foucaultiana del potere. Nella prima parte ricostruirò il suo lessico, distinguendo tre accezioni principali in cui usa il termine “pouvoir”: (1) il pouvoir-1, o potere tout court, è inteso come (capacità o esercizio) di influenza intenzionale sull’azione altrui; è un’accezione neutrale (il potere non è necessariamente negativo per chi lo subisce) e soggettivistica (il potere si predica per definizione di qualcuno, individuo o gruppo, capace di azione intenzionale); (2) il pouvoir-2 indica situazioni sociali complesse che consistono in reti di relazioni di potere interconnesse, o in strutture d’azione collettiva “funzionalmente …
METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL TO EVALUATE THE HUMAN RIGHTS APPROACH IN PUBLIC POLICIES. A CASE STUDY OF OPEN GOVERNMENT PUBLIC POLICY IN MEXICO AND ITALY
2022
La investigación parte de la premisa de que para una mayor correspondencia de los procesos de política pública con los requerimientos de la sociedad contemporánea, éstos deben desarrollarse en un entorno policontextual y policéntrico. Es decir, en escenarios en los que se propicie su apertura a los diferentes contextos sociales y la intervención de diversos actores. En atención a esto, se optó por efectuar un estudio de tipo analítico-sintético, que involucrara las variables de enfoque de derechos humanos—relacionada con el policontextualismo y policentrismo de una acción— y la de política pública—relativa a la técnica/método conforme a la cual se desarrolla de forma sistemática la acción p…
Comparative Public Law Notes: Methodological Profiles: Legal Families - Forms of Government in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, and the Un…
2023
The work intends to analyse some classic themes of comparative public law such as methodological profiles and legal families and then focus on the characteristics of forms of government. In particular, the analysis, with a comparative perspective, intends to focus on the characteristics of the parliamentary form of government in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain and then on the French semi-presidential and US presidential forms of government. The aim is to provide, during teaching assignments, a starting point for further study. The work is accompanied by a bibliography on the various survey profiles, to facilitate the retrieval of doctrine on the subject.
Using System Dynamics to Enhance Performance Management in Local Government: An Application to Residential Refuse Collection
2012
While some scholars have suggested that the forces of New Public Management are now in decline (Hughes, 2003), a clear success story of this reform is the use of performance measurement in the public sector for tracking the outputs and outcomes of service delivery. In fact, research has demonstrated that well-managed performance measurement systems are critical for accurately and systematically demonstrating operational accountability in governmental organizations (Rivenbark, 2007). However, we must be cautious in how we think about the use of performance measurement systems because of their two distinct parts as described by de Lancer Jules and Holzer (2001). The first part involves adopti…
Learning from Failures: a Chance to Overcome the Crisis. E-Government Adoption in the Municipality of Palermo, Italy.
2013
Due to its effect on regional and national competitiveness the issue of e- Government has become particularly relevant in the light of an ongoing financial crisis. Mostly because e-Government has a great potential in reducing the cost of regulatory compliance for government customers, in improving efficiency and tax administration and in avoiding frauds and errors. However, it must not be considered as a simple set of tools for technological innovation but rather a phenomenon that requires redesigning the entire institutional governance model and the roles of the main actors involved. This paper presents part of the PhD thesis project of the author on the implementation and adoption of e-Go…
Sustainable user-driven innovation supporting Open Government policies- A System Dynamics perspective applied to the Municipality of Palermo-
Going beyond a technocratic e-government paradigm, this research aims at analyzing how, through the two-ways interaction supported by Web 2.0 technology, skilled external collaboration and knowledge-sharing between citizens and public administrations can offer new ways of citizen participation, enhancing political decision-making process and public value creation. Particularly, the purpose is to investigate how skilled citizens can serve as contributors to tasks that are traditionally performed by designated civil servants and now are outsourced to an undefined, generally large group of people, in the form of an open call for contributions. To this end, we have conducted a field research in…

Attori e processi per una nuova idea di spazio urbano. Due casi in Piemonte.
2014
Urban space and public space are far beyond to be just spatial categories. They are the expression of societies where their sets of values are displayed. Urban design participatory processes shouldn’t be taken as the expression of a professional abdication, but in the perspective where citizens are owners and users of public areas. Beside, administrators represent groups of citizens but hardly can convey the detailed level of knowledge about history, dynamics and issues of a place. Hence citizens are the embedded intelligence of an urban realm. This paper outlines the experience of a research group at Politecnico di Torino engaged on participatory urban design and planning processes in the …
