A Measure of Polarization for Tourism: Evidence from Italian Destinations
2011
This paper proposes an index of polarization for tourism which links the axiomatic theory of Esteban and Ray with the classical hierarchical agglomerative clustering techniques. The index is aimed at analyzing the dynamics of the average length of stay across Italian destinations, and more specifically to detect whether the polarization within the set of clusters of places with similar values of the indicator has varied over time.
Temporal fix, hierarchies of work and post-socialist hopes for a better way of life
2021
ABSTRACT This paper proposes to rethink the agriculture–migration nexus through the notions of temporal fix and migrant hierarchies. Its empirical setting is the post-socialist migration of Latvians who move to the Channel Island of Guernsey and to Norway, where they take temporary jobs picking crops such as tomatoes and strawberries. I analyse both how agricultural migrants are viewed by others and how they evaluate themselves. The research material comes from long-term ethnographic engagement with Latvian migrants in these two destinations. In both geographical contexts, temporary agricultural work positions migrants at the bottom of the labour hierarchy. Yet, because of their experience …
Comparative analysis of major travel and tourism indicators: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, 2010
2011
Straipsnio tikslas – lyginant svarbiausius statistinius rodiklius rasti Baltijos šalių turizmo rinkos bendrumus ir ypatumus. Tuo tikslu buvo daroma literatūros šaltinių apžvalga bei analizė, taikoma indukcija bei dedukcija, o taip pat tokie statistiniai metodai, kaip grupavimas, agregavimas bei lyginimas. Tyrimas rodo, kad Estijos kelionių bei turizmo industrijos dalis tiek bendrajame vidaus produkte, tiek ir darbuotojų skaičiumi yra didžiausia ir viršija Europos sąjungos atitinkamų rodiklių vidurkius. Estija tarp Baltijos šalių užima lyderio pozicijas tiek su nakvyne atvykstančių užsienio lankytojų skaičiumi, tiek jų lankytojų šalyje praleistų naktų skaičiumi. Lietuvoje nakvynės paslaugas …
Turning Migration Disadvantage into Educational Advantage. Autobiographies of Successful Students with an Immigrant Background
2018
The article focuses on unexpected pathways of successful students with an immigrant background, in order to investigate the implication of this phenomenon from a theoretical, methodological and empirical point of view. After a review of the main sociological studies on “immigrant optimism” towards educational success, I will reflect on biographical approach, particularly suitable to study this topic. A on-going research project based on the collection of educational autobiographies of successful immigrant-origin students, attending upper secondary schools in Northern Italy, is presented. Then, the story of Destiny, a 16 years-old girl with Moroccan origin, is used as a case study to explore…
ALLA RICERCA DELL’UGUAGLIANZA NELLA REGOLAMENTAZIONE PENALE DELLA CLANDESTINITA`: UN PRINCIPIO A STRUTTURA INVERSA
2020
Il contributo intende evidenziare il ruolo determinante che nel diritto penale dell’immigrazione assume il livello dell’applicazione normativa ai fatti concreti per riuscire a garantire il rispetto del principio di uguaglianza. I caratteri discriminatori delle previsioni astratte sono, in questa materia più che in altre, destinati ad essere corretti nella fase della concreta applicazione delle norme. Si può in proposito ricorrere ad una immagine del principio di uguaglianza come costruito secondo una struttura inversa: esso non si affida alla capacità ordinante che le norme hanno sulla realtà, ma piuttosto delinea il suo volto a partire dalle esigenze che quest’ultima impone alla qualificaz…
Molte Palermo. Temi
2019
Nel tema delle incompiute idee di città possibili si riconoscerà il paradigma connotativo dello stesso divenire di Palermo, lungo un percorso millenario di processi di trasformazione nessuno dei quali portato a compimento, in virtù di quel valore distintivo di exemplum che non necessita di ulteriori e conclusive dimostrazioni. Il corso della storia, del resto, ha imposto a Palermo il ciclico riproporsi di destini interrotti. Tale si rilevò l’invenzione della città capitale, quella della “quadratura geometrica e della croce di strade” sovrimpressa a quella archetipica e fondativa della Pan-ormos scambiatrice. E l’incompiutezza sarà il tratto distintivo della città dei rettifili stradali otto…
Tourism-led growth hypothesis in the top ten tourist destinations: New evidence using the quantile-on-quantile approach
2017
This paper examines the empirical validity of the tourism-led growth hypothesis in the top ten tourist destinations in the world (China, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States) using the quantile-on-quantile (QQ) approach and a new index of tourism activity that combines the most commonly used tourism indicators. This methodology, recently introduced by Sim and Zhou (2015), provides an ideal framework with which to capture the overall dependence structure between tourism development and economic growth. The empirical results primarily show a positive relation between tourism and economic growth for the ten countries considered with s…
The Problem of Terrorism
2017
In the ninetenth century, many migrants ethnicities from central Europe arrived in the United States. This happened for two main reasons: the passage from a medieval to an industrial society, and the pauperization of European peasants who were pressed to migrate to new promising destinations. Within this cohort of migrants, many anarchists exerted a radical violence against capital owners. While they were resisted, often repulsed and exiled from the United States, newly emergent unions pressed nation states for further working enhancements. At the time, the nation state ceded to these unions better conditions of work, which facilitated the rise and expansion of modern tourism: terrorism was…
Diritto penale d'autore, diritto penale del nemico e diritto penale del fatto: quale modello per la posizione dello straniero?
2013
La svolta marcatamente repressiva degli strumenti penali del c.d. pacchetto sicurezza del 15 luglio 2009 disciplinanti il soggiorno di stranieri non comunitari ha indotto una molteplicità di effetti che verranno definiti come clandestinità derivata": a) intanto di tipo clandestino diventa l ingresso del diritto penale del nemico nel diritto dei cittadini; b) inoltre si può ritenere clandestino l intervento giurisprudenziale attuato miratamente a ricalibrare il rispetto dei diritti della persona e che diventa per questo a sua volta bersaglio dei nuovi interventi legislativi, tendenti ad escluderlo o quantomeno a circoscriverlo al massimo; c) infine si manifesta come clandestina l inclusione …
