Neighbourhood effects and determinants of population changes in Italy: a spatial perspective
2023
Population trends in Italy are strongly spatially differentiated, with some munic- ipalities showing a systematic loss of population, and others showing an equally continuous demographic increase. Here, we focus our attention on the spatial dimension of population change, looking at how different socio-economic and demographic dimensions affect population changes, as well as their spatial effects. After performing a preliminary descriptive analysis of the trends of population growth and decline in Italy over the last 40 years and the relevant demographic components, we used a spatial Durbin model (SDM) to investigate the potential existence of a diffusion process and the determinants of the…
Matching across space: evidence from Finland
2005
This paper studies spatial aspects in local labour markets in Finland from the perspective of a matching approach. The monthly data comprise 173 Local Labour Office are as over a 12-year period between January 1991 and August 2002. The basic matching function is extended to account for spatial spill-overs between the local labour markets. The role of population density in the matching process is also examined. According to results, the Finnish local labour markets suffer from a strong congestion effect among job seekers, and spatial spill-overs even strengthen the congestion. An open vacancy is filled much easier than a job seeker is employed. The results show that the matching efficiency i…
Architettura e urbanistica, presupposti e partecipazione
2012
In analysing the relationship between architecture and urban planning, this paper starts from Leonardo Benevolo’s declaration (in 1963) that defines the latter as “a part of politics required to concretize each operational program”. So, while waiting for the long expected reform, urban planning – once as well as today – needs a complete overhaul to get a better understanding of its role and relationship with politics. The other reference is to one of the founders of this field of research, Patrick Geddes, and his definition of “civic science” (1915). This allows us to stress how modern Geddes’ urban and social planning was. The subject is analysed at its various historical stages, and the m…

2021
Sabiedrībā aktuāls kļuvis jautājums par likumdevēja tiesībām pārvarēt Satversmes tiesas spriedumu, no tā izrietošajām sekām un šādas rīcības atbilstību demokrātiskai tiesiskai valstij. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt Satversmes tiesas un tās sprieduma nozīmi demokrātiskā tiesiskā valstī, konstitucionālās tiesas spriedumu raksturojošas pazīmes, kā arī teorētiskās un praktiskās Satversmes tiesas sprieduma pārvarēšanas iespējas. Iegūtie rezultāti norāda uz atsevišķiem trūkumiem likumdevēja rīcībā. Pētījumā sniegti priekšlikumi šo trūkumu novēršanai.

It is very important to envestigate tbe theoretical foundations of the local govcmment before the research of its functioning. They provide the most completc ccweruge of philosophical and poiitical aspects of the phenomenon of local democracy. The scienlifrc potential of self-governing idcas discloscd in the aggregate theoretical structures, basie concepts and categories. In the concepts the common elements of the models of local govemment in their dynamics are refiectcd. Ali concepts of local government start from trying to solve the problem: Does the community have a separate, distinct from state power, whether it is independent from the state public corporation or firm incorporated in th…

Overview and prerequisites of well-functioning Latvian national innovation system
2013
Analysis and understanding of the national innovation system can help policy-makers to identify strategies for improving innovative performance and overall competitiveness of the national economy. Nowadays we know too little about how to identify and measure specific problems in the system (if at all possible), despite several attempts to define them. Until now, little analysis on the Latvian innovation system was made. The paper aims to analyse the Latvian national innovation system and to provide a factors of well-functioning Latvian national innovation system. This research gives a possibility to researchers and policy-makers to investigate the mismatch between policies and problems and …
La construction de la memoire coloniale en Erythrée: les Eithréens, les Métis, les Italiens
2006
Focusing on some passages of life histories collected in Asmara and based on the ‘memory of Italy’, I study the representation of the past in order to reveal the shaping of the subjective experience by the colonial discourse in Eritrea. If the main aim of my essay is the understanding of the play of interactions between individuals and collectivity, one more important element I take into account is ‘memory’ seen as a “social selection of remembering” (Halbwachs). I try to connect the social position and narrative role of single members (of the Eritrean society) to the meaning it takes the ‘going back to the past’ for them as individuals belonging to a group (an Eritrean, a Mestizo, an Itali…
