The paper reconstructs an experience of cooperation between the University of Palermo and the Department of Cultural Heritage, Natural Heritage and Public Education of the Sicilian Regional Government, that took place at the end of 1970s.

El papel de la educación ante las transformaciones científico-tecnológicas
1998
La discusión acerca del papel de la educación ante las transformaciones científico-tecnológicas aparece como una cuestión esencial para analizar los cambios educativos que se consideran necesarios hoy en la región… y en el resto de nuestro cada vez más globalizado planeta.Se trata de una discusión esencial, decimos, porque las transformaciones educativas son una exigencia, en buena medida, del actual desarrollo científico-tecnológico. Se trata, además, de una discusión urgente, pues el sistema educativo se caracteriza por una fuerte inercia que dificulta su adaptación a una realidad cambiante, y esa inercia puede resultar particularmente grave en un momento en el que las transformaciones ci…

2021
La present tesi doctoral “El nacionalisme polític valencià (1978-1997): Cultura política, participació social i pràctiques col·lectives” intenta posar de relleu les diferents formacions valencianistes que han participat dels processos democràtics des de la Transició fins el final de segle centrant-se no solament en la discussió al respecte de la identitat de les i els valencians. sinó també en quins foren els perquès per dur endavant la creació de diferents formacions polítiques que acabarien desembocant en la Unitat del Poble Valencià sobretot, però no solament. Així mateix, conèixer quines han estat les discussions internes de les formacions ajudaria a entendre els canvis al respecte del …
Transnational ties: Resource or stressor on Peruvian migrants' well‐being?
2020
This paper explores the role of types and the intensity of transnational ties for migrants' well‐being from a global perspective. Based on a literature review, two competing hypotheses are formulated—transnational resources versus transnational stress—according to which transnational ties have either a positive or a negative effect on migrants' well‐being. Drawing on data from a large‐scale survey of Peruvian migrants worldwide, this paper examines the strength and direction of the relationship between Peruvian migrants' transnational ties and poor well‐being, the latter measured as depression/loneliness as a principal concern. While the multivariate regression results do not support the tr…

External voting by nonresident citizens has become an important feature of contemporary democratic politics. However, compared to the average voter in domestic elections, we still know significantly less about migrants’ motivations to vote or not. Whereas analyses of external voting patterns offer insights into the results of external voting compared to origin populations, there is a lacuna of knowledge about why migran…
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) in Cameroon : realities and prospects
2010
For a long time, Cameroon was a success story in the context of Africa’s development. Unfortunately, the economic crises of the eighties and early nineties led to the failure of the development strategies that had been pursued until then, resulting in a severe deterioration of the country’s economy and the living standards of the Cameroonian people (Mentan, 2003). However, this country possesses significant oil wealth which if properly managed can generate abundant revenue to boost economic growth and fund anti-poverty measures. In 2005, Cameroon adhered to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). A proper implementation of this initiative will improve transparency in the c…
