Affirmative action in India: redistribuzione di beni e creazione di identità

2009

L’India è probabilmente lo stato in cui l’affirmative action riguarda la più ampia percentuale di popolazione e i più svariati ambiti della vita pubblica; inoltre le prime forme di agevolazione di gruppi svantaggiati previste dal governo risalgono ad oltre 130 anni fa. La reservation policy (il nome con cui in India vengono chiamate le azioni positive) è argomento ricorrente del dibattito pubblico: tema eminente di ogni programma elettorale, influisce fortemente nella costituzione della base dei partiti e nella scelta dei rappresentanti, è contestata o invocata in molte battaglie politiche e in numerosi conflitti sociali che agitano il paese. Ha contribuito fortemente a profilare le identit…

Cartes et élections : la construction des circonscriptions électorales aux Etats-Unis, entre égalité et équité

2003

Maps and Elections : The Construction of Electoral Districts in the USA. Decennal census-led redistricting in the United States is the occasion for court actions focused nowadays on the political representation of ethnic minorities. Computer tools make possible the building of districts specifically tailored for Blacks or Hispanics, but blatant racial gerrymandering is now rejected by the US Supreme Court. This paper examines the most relevant judicial decisions and describes several local cases.

La teoria della subalternità e il caso dei dalit in India

2008

Il subalterno è lo schiavo soddisfatto, il servo che idolatra il padrone, la donna che perpetua il modello del patriarca, il marginale che finisce per odiarsi: colui che ha interiorizzato la visione del mondo del dominante e crede legittimo il suo stato di minorità. Egli, subendo la cosiddetta violenza epistemica, si fa complice di chi rende angusta la sua esistenza: le fonti del suo istinto sono inquinate, alterate le ragioni dei suoi desideri ed egli vuole contro il proprio interesse. I subalterni sono il neo delle rivoluzioni e la falla di ogni progresso: quella porzione di popolazione che ha partecipato ma non ha compreso, le cui condizioni di vita non sono cambiate, subordinati prima a…

The Rise of the BRICS and Higher Education Dynamics

2015

This book deals with the developments, policies and perspectives of higher education in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa—the BRICS countries. Our starting point is the evolution of the higher education systems in the BRICS countries, looking less, however, at the institutional dimensions of the universities and more at the broader context (e.g. operational and regulatory) in terms of four main issues or core themes, namely: supply and demand, stakeholders, governmental policy and research and innovation in the light of international trends and globalization.

La dialettica tra giudice costituzionale e legislatore sulla parità di genere

2021

The aim of this paper is to analyse the evolution of gender balance in the Italian Constitutional system with respect to electoral representation (Art. 51th of the Italian Constitution). Effective achieving of electoral representation has been heavily difficult for women in Italy. In 2010 the Constitutional Judge recognized the necessity of gender balance measures. However, the instruments provided by laws had not any real success and women are not effectively represented in political Assemblies.

Diversidad de género, igualdad de oportunidades y entornos laborales

2004

Gender diversity can be considered a useful strategy for improving equal opportunities in the labour market. It is also a valid criterion for optimising human resources in management professions. Unlike other strategies for promoting equal opportunities that have been applied in political or social spheres (quota system, parity representation, etc.), gender diversity combines humanitarian criteria based on citizenship rights for women with maximalist arguments relating to the value such a strategy can add to labour organisations. The Divers@: género y diversidad project lays down a working method and operational model for analysing possible imbalance caused by the specific gender diversity …

Zasada pozytywnej dyskryminacji mniejszości narodowych w ujęciu teoretycznym i praktyce ustrojowej

2018

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest zbadanie teoretycznych aspektów zasady pozytywnej dyskryminacji, ustrojowych uwarunkowań jej zastosowania w odniesieniu do mniejszości narodowych w Polsce oraz dziedzin, w których może być realizowana. PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Zagadnienie pozytywnej dyskryminacji znajduje się w obrębie zainteresowania przedstawicieli wielu nauk i idealnie wpasowuje się w koncepcję demokracji ujmowanej jako wartości, procedury i w sensie substancjalnym. Nie jest ona przy tym ochroną antydyskryminacyjną, lecz jej wsparciem, promotorem równości formalnej i faktycznej. W Polsce, choć odsetek mniejszości narodowych jest nikły, pozytywna dyskryminacja ma rangę zasady w Konstytuc…
