Suitable for Western Audiences: UNESCO and the Self-fulfilling Prophecy of Cinematic Cultural Diplomacy
2020
Through a reading of cinematic cultural diplomacy in the post-World War II UNESCO context, this study focuses on the potential cinema holds for speaking to the politics of difference. Traditionally seen as problematic and conflictual, this study suggests that for UNESCO, difference is not the source of war and conflict, but of peace. It provides an analysis of Orient: A Survey of Films Produced in Countries of Arab and Asian Culture, a 1959 film catalogue published by UNESCO and the British Film Institute with the aim to “stimulate the presentation of films which might give audiences in the West a fuller and more informed idea of the ways of life of Eastern peoples”. This study treats the c…
Le differenze culturali come mezzo per creare ponti e valorizzare storie: il punto di vista dell’accoglienza a Bologna, Ferrara e Ravenna.
2018
Lo scopo del presente lavoro è di illustrare i metodi, le strategie e le prassi educative di presa in carico personalizzata dei minori stranieri non accompagnati nel sistema italiano dell’accoglienza. Sebbene tratti di un settore complesso, il contributo intende far luce sui rischi e sulle opportunità che caratterizzano le relazioni multiculturali in questo contesto. Analizzando l'esperienza dell'accoglienza dei minori stranieri non accompagnati dell’HUB e dello SPRAR (Sistema di Protezione per Richiedenti Asilo e Rifugiati) nei territori di Bologna, Ferrara e Ravenna, si cercherà di farne emergere le potenzialità, le criticità e la percezione del personale educativo che opera in un campo a…
Variation sur le thème 'A la recherche de nouvelles fondations pour la finance et la gouvernance d'entreprise'
2001
L'objectif de cet article est de proposer une voie alternative à celle que préconise Zingales pour donner de nouvelles fondations à la finance d'entreprise. En empruntant le même cheminement que Zingales, cet article retient premièrement une définition plus large de la finance, accordant à l'investissement une place au moins équivalente à celle du financement. Deuxièmement, considérant que la vision contractuelle, dans son interprétation traditionnelle fondée sur la protection des actifs spécifiques, conduit à une théorie financière déconnectée de toute considération productive, il propose de lui substituer les théories de la firme associées aux courants cognitifs. Troisièmement, les conséq…
Transparencia y nuevas tecnologías en las Cooperativas de crédito
2004
An international reaction was required to the financial scandals of recent years, and some States started to reform corporate governance. Two main systems were used – self-regulation through good governance codes, and legislative measures to achieve transparency in financial markets. The principle of transparency is based on two premises – corporate governance and business information in the framework of new technologies. This study analyses the enforcement of the new Spanish legislation on transparency in credit cooperatives from a dual perspective – that of organisational structure, and members’ rights to information and the use of new technologies.

Gestión empresarial y dinámica laboral en España
2015
El objetivo del presente artículo es plantear una serie de reflexiones sobre la dinámica labo- ral reciente en la economía española bajo el enfoque analítico de la segmentación laboral. Desde esta perspectiva, la situación y problemas del mercado laboral se explican por un conjunto de factores relacionados con las prácticas de gestión empresarial y no tanto por la regulación que limita la competencia en el mercado o las modalidades contractuales. Nues- tra conclusión es que es necesario superar el marco analítico restringido del enfoque econó- mico convencional e introducir otras dimensiones, que van más allá del mercado, para una mejor compresión de los problemas laborales. En este sentido…
El control en las empresas de trabajo asociado. Revisión crítica, desde una perspectiva de agencia, de los principales mecanismos de control, y análi…
2002
This paper analyses the repercussions of the institutional aspects of co-operatives in the decision making process, in arranging the incentive system for members, and discretionary behaviour among management. From a comparative analysis of capitalistic companies, the paper studies the nature of the hierarchical relationships present in co-operatives and reviews the control mechanisms available to them, with special emphasis on the board of directors. At the same time, lines of action are proposed that favour efficient control and reconcile the requirements of co-operative enterprises with their attributes as institutions.
Social capital and political participation
2010
This paper analyzes the determinants of social capital, as generalized trust, from a microeconomic perspective. We review previous results at the aggregate level and test their significance in our setup. Specifically we aim at testing the role of political participation and the quality of institutions. The empirical work relies on microeconomic data from the 2008 wave of the European Social Survey, including 21 European countries and roughly 41,000 observations on a wide set of socio-economic and political variables. Preliminary results underline the role of political participation in the accumulation of generalized trust, while data are consistent with institutional quality being a consequ…
