Mutual intercultural relations among immigrant and autochthonous youth in Italy. Testing the integration, multiculturalism, and contact hypotheses
2020
Italy is increasingly becoming a culturally complex society. This poses numerous challenges for developmental and educational psychology, mainly in terms of how to encourage adequate levels of social harmony by promoting positive development of both immigrant and autochthonous youth. Within this perspective, the current paper presents the Italian findings of the Mutual Intercultural Relations in Plural Societies (MIRIPS) international project, postulating the centrality of three core hypotheses: integration, multiculturalism, and contact. Two studies were performed to investigate these hypotheses. Study 1 comprised 188 Tunisian adolescents aged 13-18 (51% F; Mage=15.94), while Study 2 inclu…
Respingimenti a catena e tutela cautelare del diritto d’asilo. Le ordinanze del Tribunale di Roma sulle ‘riammissioni informali’ in Slovenia
2021
On the 3rd of May, the Rome Tribunal accepted the complaint lodged by the Ministry of Interior against the interim measure with which, last January, the same Court declared the illegitimacy of the procedure of migrants and asylum seekers informal readmission in Slovenia, because of the violation inter alia of the principle of non-refoulement. Despite the negative outcome for the asylum seekers, the order of the complaint did not refute the reasoning of the judge of the first instance who, for the first time, recognized the entry protection by issuing an urgent precautionary measure. This contribution focuses on the recent tendency of States’ national Courts to provide protection, including …

2018
This article focuses on skilled migration flows from Southern Europe into Mexico. From semi-structured interviews with Spanish and Italian immigrants living in four Mexican cities of Mexico, it addresses both reasons for immigration and labour incorporation in Mexican labour markets. Specifically, it explores: i) the role of the economic crisis and the lack of good employment in the countries of origin as a key factor when deciding an international migration; ii) the employment opportunities offered in Mexican labour markets for the highly-skilled immigrants, and iii) the role played by the Mexican state and its current immigration law when channelling this group into the labour market

"It is time for the British people to have their say" : The Daily Mail and the Guardian on Brexit from 2013 to 2016
2017
Yhdistyneiden kuningaskuntien kansanäänestys Euroopan Unionista lähtemiseksi kesäkuussa 2016 oli monella tavalla järisyttävä, jopa odottamaton, tapahtuma. Yleisenä oletuksena oli, että vuoden 1975 kansanäänestyksen tulos toistuisi ja Yhdistyneet kuningaskunnat pysyisivät edelleen Euroopan Unionin jäsenmaana maassa pitkään vallinneesta euroskeptisyydestä huolimatta. Tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on tarkastella, miten Brexitin keskustelluimmat teemat kuten maahanmuutto, talous ja identiteetti kehittyivät vuosina 2013-2016 lehdissä the Daily Mail ja the Guardian sekä miten nämä teemat vaikuttivat Brexitin kokonaiskuvaan lehdissä. Tarkastelun kohteena on myös, miten nämä lehdet vaikuttivat lukijoi…

New Comers, fiducia e frammentazione sociale nelle comunità a forte differenziazione culturale
2010
L’articolo ha come base empirica uno studio di comunità svolto in un microcosmo siciliano, Mazara del Vallo, assunto come paradigma delle società a forte differenziazione culturale, in cui la pluridecennale convivenza tradizionale tra autoctoni e comunità tunisina è stata investita dalle nuove ondate di immigrati dell’est europa. La ricerca qualitativa effettuata con storie di vita e interviste in profondità, somministrate alla popolazione autoctona, agli immigrati tunisini di prima e seconda generazione e ai “nuovi” immigrati ha evidenziato non solo inedite rappresentazioni di frammentazione sociale, sentimento di fiducia, marginalizzazione, ma anche la ridefinizione di pratiche culturali …
