The Governance of Metropolitan Areas: Problems and Alternatives in the Spanish Case
2013
In federalist thinking, a constant is the tension in defining optimal levels of government, its territorial scope and functions. These questions are particularly difficult at the local level. This is where we find that the differences between various forms of structuring local governments are vast. This is the case from the point of view of their legal status. In Spain, for example, we find municipalities, provinces, island authorities, counties, metropolitan areas, communities, consortia, local entities below the municipal level and other juridical forms. However, it is also the case from the point of view of their socioeconomic characteristics. Thus, for instance, it is difficult to compa…
Emerico Amari's political commitment mirrored in his parliamentary activity
2016
Emerico Amari (Palermo 1810-1870) can rightly be considered a protagonist of the culture and of the political events of the Italian Risorgimento, although only in the past few decades has he attracted the attention of the historians involved in recovering and studying his numerous inedited papers and in going more deeply into his political and economic thought and his interest in the Constitution and in the institutions. His scientific production noteworthy for the number of works and for the profundity of the contents, the value which is still partly to be brought to light, ranges from moral philosophy to epistemology, from economics to criminal law. But at the same time, the Palermitan sc…

El ocaso del primer imperio mexicano. Agitación política y planes monárquicos en 1823
2021
La abdicación de Agustín de Iturbide al trono de México en 1823 y su posterior exilio desataron tensiones políticas que radicalizaron las posiciones ideológicas de quienes deseaban su regreso. La movilización popular simpatizante de la monarquía y la ruptura federalista en las provincias provocaron una crisis política e incertidumbre sobre el futuro del país. La inestabilidad e indefinición de la situación política en ese año propiciaron conspiraciones a favor del imperio. Este trabajo pretende acercarse a algunos de esos planes conspirativos dirigidos a mantener viva la opción monárquica desde las posiciones moderadas hasta las menos conocidas, pero plenamente ultramontanas. Para ello se e…
Un "cospiratore" federalista siciliano: Giuseppe Motta
2015
Il siciliano Giuseppe Motta (1902-1984), sebbene circoscritto all’ambito della storia locale, fu figura non priva di interesse se rapportata alla temperie ambientale in cui visse e al suo travaglio ideologico che lo portò, come Altiero Spinelli, dal marxismo al federalismo, tanto da auspicare la costituzione di un partito federalista che fosse artefice dell’unificazione politica europea. Nei suoi lavori, redatti tra il 1934 e il 1983, Motta difese tenacemente l’aggregazione federalista degli Stati europei nella convinzione che tale assetto avrebbe consentito alla Sicilia di collocarsi tra le regioni economicamente più sviluppate.

Debating federal Europe in the British Parliament, c. 1940–49
2017
AbstractFederalism, or the fear of it, worked as a catalyst in the British pre-referendum debate on Brexit in June 2016. In this paper, we focus on the pre-European integration context and ask what kind of an alternative federalism was seen to afford in British politics during and after the Second World War. We limit our discussion to parliamentary debates, which have only rarely been used as primary sources for studying European integration history. The British Parliament was one of the key political arenas for debates on foreign policy, not just in terms of informing the party lines but also guiding the public discussion. In the early part of the 1940s, the British federalist movement was…
Federaliści i rozłam między klasycznością a modernością
2014
The article shows how the classical political thinking, based on civic virtues, and modernist thinking, based on individualism and self-interest, formed the basis of the U.S. Constitution. The Founding Fathers did not realize the full extent of the rift between classicism and modernity. When, as a result of intellectual discussions and practice of social life, this divide began to become more and more obvious, there has been a transition from the classical to the modernist paradigm in American politics. However, the dispute between classicism and modernity still continues and takes on new forms. On the one hand, contemporary political thinking is seen as a triumph of modernism, in which the…
