Terrorism'S Fear : Perceived Personal And National Threats
2008
Terrorism represents an unexpected and unwanted change which challenges one-s social identity. We carried out a study to explore the demographic variables- role on the perception of personal and national threat, and to investigate the effects of perceived terrorist threat on people-s ways of life, moods, opinions and hopes. 313 residents of Palermo (Italy) were interviewed. The results pointed out that the fear of terrorism affects three areas: the cognitive, the emotional and the behavioural one.
TERRORISM AND INTERNATIONAL TOURISM: NEW EVIDENCE
2008
This paper analyses the impact of terrorist activity on international tourist flows. To this end, we have estimated a cross‐sectional gravity equation for tourism from the G‐7 countries to a sample of 134 destinations over the period 2001–2003. Within this framework, we evaluate the deviation from ‘normal’ tourist flows due to terrorist activity, which is considered as negative advertising for the affected country. The analysis suggests that both domestic victims and international attacks are relevant factors when foreign tourists make their choice. This result is robust under alternative specifications. Moreover, the impact of terrorism is more severe in developing countries. The author is…

Italy: money transfer, money laundering and intermediary liability
2020
Purpose This paper aims to offer a general overview of money transfers in Italy and Europe focussing specifically on the migrant community. This is of particular interest because it is in that community where money transfers are most prevalent. This shows the money transfer system as a tool that could guarantee the financial inclusion of migrants but at the same time being used in a distorted and unlawful manner. Design/methodology/approach After a brief introduction focussed on working principles and legal frameworks, the paper will go deeper in evaluating money transfer data. This data, which comes from various legal authorities, will show the extent to which different migrant communitie…
The proportionality of limitations of freedom of expression in the context of suppression of terrorism under the Council of Europe Convention on the …
2021
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the equilibrium between the suppression of incitement of terrorism and the rights of freedom of expression, established by the Council of Europe. Freedom of expression is an important element for a democratic society. Nevertheless, states are under an obligation to ensure the right to life of people within their jurisdiction. Recognising the devastating effect of violent terrorist attacks, the Council of Europe in 2005 adopted the Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism, which was the first legal instrument imposing an obligation on the State Parties to penalise incitement (provocation) of terrorism. The paramount importance in the Convention is devot…
