Social Workers’ Reflections on Forced Migration and Cultural Diversity : Towards Anti-Oppressive Expertise in Child and Family Social Work

2021

Social work in Finland, like in many other countries, has faced various challenges after the large scale of forced migration in 2015. Although working with migrants is not a new area in social work, the exceptionally large amount of asylum seekers in the Finnish society caused a need for improved social work expertise. Our article deals with Finnish social work practitioners’ reflections on multicultural, multilingual and transnational issues with a client group, which is in a vulnerable situation after forced or other forms of migration. The practitioners participating in our study have either attended a specializing education of child, youth and family social work or taken part in peer gr…

EUROPEAN UNION’S COMPETITIVENESS IN TERMS OF COUNTRY RISK AND FISCAL DISCIPLINE

2012

Underneath the umbrella of national competitiveness there are microeconomic and macroeconomic factors, but the recovery and the revival of a state competitiveness must be based on a strategy developed and coordinated centrally and implemented in strategic areas of the economy. In this respect, this paper aims to analyze the situation of European Union’s competitiveness in terms of country risk and fiscal and budgetary discipline of the Member States, based on empirical data. Therefore, this study’s analysis includes the following two steps: first, a segmentation of the European Union by determining distinct groups of countries according to national competitiveness (GCI), public debt (PD) an…

Governance della crisi e importanza del territorio per lo sviluppo regionale

2012

The aim of this paper is a reflection on the role of space in the processes of economic change. Starting in the United States the financial and economic crisis infected Europe after 2007. A wider debate on the current differential role of governments in the U.S. and Europe in addressing the crisis has emerged. The bailout programs in the U.S. have made reference to a unitary and homogeneous reference frame in the presence of a central bank whose broad mandate includes development goals. Europe, instead, has shown a different scenario and the same financial integration project depends on the complex relationship between individuals and the community, national sovereignty and increasingly bin…

Assetto territoriale e sfide della pandemia. Considerazioni sull’esperienza spagnola e tedesca

2021

Il contagio da SARS-CoV-2 ha generato una crisi sanitaria globale senza precedenti. Ciò ha riportato al centro delle riflessioni giuridiche l’antica questione della gestione dell’emergenza nello Stato di diritto, riproponendo quesiti irrisolti e nuove sfide per la tenuta dei regimi democratici contemporanei. Sotto questo profilo, il sistema federale tedesco ma anche la dimensione autonomica spagnola offrono due interessanti casi di studio sulla gestione dell’emergenza dal punto di vista dell’assetto territoriale. The SARS-CoV-2 has generated an unprecedented global health crisis. This has brought the age-old question of emergency management in the rule of law back to the centre of legal re…

Francesco Crispi

2012

L’esistenza di Francesco Crispi (Ribera, 4 ottobre 1818 – Napoli, 11 agosto 1901) percorre tutto l’Ottocento, e oggi, oltre un secolo dopo la sua morte, in un’epoca assai distante dagli eventi che lo videro protagonista, dove lo stesso mondo che egli ha contribuito a cambiare è del tutto dissolto dai fenomeni recenti della globalizzazione che hanno trasformato sia la vita degli individui che la natura degli Stati; proprio oggi,si diceva, gli storici sono inclini a riconoscere che la parabola oggettivamente straordinaria di questo personaggio, un siciliano di stirpe albanese che divenne uno degli statisti più autorevoli e discussi del suo tempo,possa essere ripensata come la chiave interpret…

Economic strain and foreign language attainment: A Polish perspective

2016

Foreign language learning is not only a personal endeavor, but also an activity that takes place within a social support system. In times of economic crisis adverse economic conditions handicap parents’ educational investments. For this reason a student’s development of foreign language skills, limited to the school context, may suffer. This study sheds more light on the experience and effect of economic strain in Polish secondary grammar school students who learn English as a foreign language. The results corroborate studies in the field and demonstrate that high achievers have low perceptions of economic strain.
