Disputas por el poder municipal y reforzamiento regio en el realengo valenciano. De la derrota agermanada a las cortes de 1604

2021

La introducción del procedimiento electoral de insaculación en buena parte de los municipios valencianos trató de justificarse por su virtualidad para erradicar o reducir la conflictividad generada por los tradicionales mecanismos de cooptación. Las disputas, sin embargo, no desaparecieron con el nuevo sistema y tuvieron oportunidad de expresarse en distintas fases de su aplicación. A partir del análisis de una amplia casuística se trata de mostrar las modalidades que adoptó, en el plano electoral, la pugna por el poder municipal en el marco de la insaculación durante el siglo xVI, así como su incidencia en el creciente fortalecimiento de los órganos y oficiales de la administración regia, …

The nationality of companies in French law

2012

The development of international economic relations and the construction of an integrated European area, both from an economic and a political point of view, has revived the debate on the nationality of trading companies. The question is not so much whether trading companies have a nationality on an equal footing with natural persons – solutions have long been accepted by international doctrine and jurisprudence – but rather to determine how this notion has evolved and adapted to the constraints on the one hand, of a globalized market economy and, on the other hand, of European Union law which overturns the traditionally accepted solutions of nationality of trading companies into the legal …

Multiple Blockholders and Firm Value: A Simulation Analysis

2023

In this paper, we analyse the relationship between the distribution of ownership and firm value in the presence of multiple blockholders. In recent years, the topic has attracted the attention of many scholars. Yet, the empirical evidence on the relationship between the distribution of ownership among large shareholders and firm value has been non-conclusive and contradictory. We focus on the interaction between a controlling block of shareholders and a non-controlling block that can monitor the largest controlling block. We develop and simulate a simple model combining the two effects related to the presence of additional blockholders that can monitor the largest controlling block of share…

Live free or die motionless : Walking the migrant path from Italy to France

2018

This essay and the photographs examine visual traces of irregular mobility in the border landscape between Italy and France. The ruined buildings and objects witness decades of movement of undocumented people on this old migrant path across the mountains. By taking the theoretical concept of multidirectional memory (Rothberg 2009) the essay argues that the Path of Hope can be thought of as a memory site through which the issues of migration in contemporary Europe can be seen in a more sustainable light. The ruins and discarded objects link memories of different places – including different border zones – in ways that allow us to critically examine borders as a practice – rather than as exis…

The use of armed drones for counter-terrorism purposes: whether customary international law?

2019

The vast and rapid development of technologies constantly creates gaps in the law within both the international and national law systems. One of such technologies the increased usage of which for military purposes has instituted a debate on the applicable law for its use under the existing legal frameworks is the technology of armed drones, also known as armed unmanned aerial vehicles (AUAVs). The source of the debate is the presumption that armed drones are almost exclusively used for counter-terrorism purposes, thus involving their use against non-state actors operating in a country that a state is not in war with. The author of this thesis will, first of all, identify the established leg…

Conflicts of Jurisdiction in Criminal Proceedings in Europe: Between Bis In Idem and Lis Pendens

2019

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the main issues concerning conflicts of jurisdiction within the EU, also from an italian perspective . The reason of conflicts of jurisdiction’s increase lies in the non-full application of the territoriality criterion, but especially in the transformation of criminality: the opening of borders and free movement of people, as well as the using of IT tools, can cause a fragmentation, among different countries, in the commission of crimes. The discussion on the overlap of proceedings for the same facts involving the same person revolves around various sources of law. Because of interpretative difficulties, many questions regarding conflicts of jurisdi…

Paths of local development: Two technological districts face-to-face

2009

In this paper we compare the two hi-tech districts of Catania and Genoa, which are within the same national context and economic sector, with the aim of explaining their different choices (the promotion of external investments, in the first case, and fostering of the development of small businesses, in the second case) in the light of the local economic structure and the role played by political, economic, and educational institutions. Local actors have differently influenced the development of a professional community through the interpersonal networks of entrepreneurs and the performance obtained by local small businesses. While Catania has experienced a higher and more rapid growth, deve…
