Paradigm shift in engineering education More time is needed
2010
Abstract Information Technology (IT) becomes: innovation motor, engineering toolbox; basic part of curricula. The impact on engineering education is due to shifting from industrial towards post-industrial engineering. IT is the most suitable domain to bear the paradigmatic shifts able to lessen the paradox of temporal dissociation between the present process of teaching and its future mirroring in life-long learning. Hence, a modern approach to time and to its related concepts is focused upon. The essence of applying new paradigms in education is exemplified via the advanced subdomain of artificial intelligence. Conclusion: carrying out such educational innovations is urgent, painless and a…
Navigare a vela, tra storia e contemporaneità, in una città di luce
2015
Il contributo mette a confronto Lisbona e Palermo, analizzando le trasformazioni della citta' portoghese e le occasioni perdute della "capitale" siciliana. A partire da alcune analogie, infatti, le due città hanno vissuto stagioni assai differenti, a Lisbona sono state condotte politiche tese a rendere la città competitiva e a dotarla di servizi di eccellenza nonché di progetti di architettura contemporanea; a Palermo la situazione, analizzata sulla scorta delle ultime vicende politiche, appare assai diversa.
The Future Of Mutual Assistance Conventions In The European Union
2010
The European Union, keeping to the traditional principles of conventional international law, dealt with judicial assistance within the framework provided by the Third Pillar, at first rather timidly through its new normative instruments; and then more effectively through the traditional route of conventions. The two main aims of the EU Convention 2000 are, on the one hand, 'ensuring that mutual assistance between Member States is provided in a fast and efficient manner'; 29 and on the other, guaranteeing that this is done in a way that is: 'compatible with the basic principles of their national law and in compliance with the individual rights and principles of the European Convention for th…
Multiple Actors in Framing the EU's External Policy: The Case of the EU Global Security Strategy
2017
The functioning of the European External Action Service (EEAS) has been a much discussed issue since its establishment. By constructing, through the Treaty of Lisbon, a single actor for the EU external policy, the EEAS now has to deal with finding most efficient ways of accommodating the interests of both the EU Member States and the EU institutions. The paper applies the Principal-Agent method to examine the delegation of EU external policy to the EEAS. The vague mentioning of the EEAS in the Lisbon Treaty and the inter-institutional negotiations preceding the July 2010 Council Decision on the organisation and functioning of the EEAS illustrate how Member States have decided to leave a rem…

Second chamber, ‘congress of ambassadors’ or federal presidency : Parliamentary and non-parliamentary aspects in the European Council's rules of proc…
2015
SUMMARYThe development of the European Union (EU) regime, with the frequent changes of institutions and their competencies by treaty revisions, allows for new opportunities for parliamentary studies. This article discusses the role and competencies of the European Council (EC) in the EU regime, using the heuristic and methodological resources of procedural commentaries, parliamentary rhetoric, conceptual history and political regime analysis. This study is a textual analysis, based on the 2009 Lisbon Treaty and especially on the EC's rules of procedure. The Lisbon Treaty and the respective rules of procedure serve as key documents that fix the rules, the framework and the margin of manoeuvr…
Expo par cœur. Projets et aménagement du waterfront de Lisbonne
2006
Le sujet de cette proposition, s’appuyant sur une recherche en cours concernant la contribution des grands événements contemporains à la rénovation urbaine, porte sur le thème de la relation entre les grandes expositions et les mécanismes de transformation des villes portuaires et des territoires délaissés. L’analyse des rapports entre événement et rénovation urbaine, retracée ici à travers l’exemple de l’Expo’98 de Lisbonne, permet d’aborder, d’une part, le thème de la détermination d’une stratégie de transformation permanente de la ville et, d’autre part, celui de la configuration d’une nouvelle centralité métropolitaine. Dans ce cadre, l’Expo ’98 a évidemment encouragé la régénération en…
