La gratuité des musées et des monuments : qu’en pensent les publics en France ?
2015
The question of free admission has generated numerous debates, highlighting various viewpoints of professionals involved in Culture, effects on the measured volumes of attendance and on the management of museums and monuments. One question has been left aside: that of the reception of free admissionmeasures by the destined audiences. The analysis of the representations of these measures, which are found to be multiple, contradictory and not very congruent with the ideals put forth by the institutions themselves, shows the subtlety of the complex interactions between the tariff amount, the comprehension of a cultural policy, impact on the representations of museums and monuments and frequent…
Agenda urbana in Italia: slittamenti di scale territoriali e paradigmi progettuali
2014
L’interesse per le città che da qualche tempo permea le politiche di coesione regionale in Europa coincide in Italia, in un orizzonte cronologicamente più ristretto, con una rinnovata centralità della dimensione nazionale nell’orientamento e regolazione delle politiche locali. A quest’esito, invero parziale ma politicamente piuttosto delineato, concorrono almeno un paio di processi tra loro interdipendenti. Da un lato, il riconoscimento della fragilità delle regioni (in particolare di quelle meridionali) nel governo di politiche complesse e multilivello tra le quali vanno certamente annoverate quelle per lo sviluppo e la rigenerazione delle aree urbane. Dall’altro, un più complesso processo…
Metodologia della ricerca sociale e politiche pubbliche

In questo capitolo si passano in rasegna i principali concetti che devono essere padroneggiati dal buon valutatore delle politiche pubbliche e gli strumenti che devono far parte della sua cassetta degli attrezzi.

In this chapter we review the main concepts that must be mastered by the good public policy evaluator and the tools that must be part of his toolbox.

Does one size fit all? The impact of cognitive skills on economic growth
2016
Les Documents de Travail de l'IREDU, n°2016-1; This paper tests for heterogeneous effects of cognitive skills on economic growth across countries. Using a new extended dataset on cognitive skills and controlling for potential endogeneity, we find that the magnitude of the effect is about 60 per cent higher for low-income countries compared to high-income countries, and it more than doubles when low TFP countries are compared to high TFP countries. There are also marked differences across geographic regions. Using data on the share of the population with advanced and minimum skill levels, our results also indicate that high-income countries should focus on increasing the number of high skill…

Las políticas públicas en materia de drogas se encuentran actualmente en una encrucijada. A través de las siguientes páginas se ofrece una reflexión sobre cuatro tipos de posicionamiento teórico, cuatro formas diferentes de entender cuál es el papel que en este conflicto, deben adoptar los Estados.

Throughout the following pages four theoretical positions are examined, four differ…
Existential risks of an excluded community: Le mani sulle città by Franco Rosi
2020
L’articolo analizza la questione dell’abusivismo edilizio, esploso negli anni ’60, attraverso la riflessione su un famoso film di Franco Rosi, Le mani sulla città, che ha trattato le contraddizioni e i fallimenti della disciplina urbanistica se corrotta da interessi privati. The essay focuses on the film Le mani sulla città (Hands on the city, 1963) by Francesco Rosi. The film, set in Naples, explores some significant aspects of the Italian "Reconstruction" after the end of the Second World War and offers interesting insights. That period was characterized by a number of active, social and economic, recovery policies which produced job and development opportunities and triggered the develop…
Gender Equality and Maternal Burnout: A 40-Country Study
2022
International audience; In Western countries, recent decades have witnessed a revolution toward gender equality. Inequalities have been greatly reduced in areas such as education or employment. Because inequalities lead to distress, this development has largely benefited women. One notable exception is the realm of parenting, which has remained rife with inequalities even in the most egalitarian countries. We hypothesized that experiencing inequality in parenting when one holds egalitarian values and raising a child in a country characterized by a high level of gender equality in other areas, increases mothers’ psychological distress in the specific area of parenting. Multilevel modeling an…
The Human Right to Social Security and Its Impact on Socio-Political Action in Germany and Finland
2017
Social human rights have rarely been given attention in social work research or comparative studies on welfare states. The paper aims at filling the gap by analysing the conception of human beings inherent in human rights and in unemployment policy documents in Germany and Finland.

The main question is what impact does the right to social security have on socio-political action in Germany and Finland. The results of the analysis, which was based on the objective hermeneutics, revealed a structural similarity between the conceptions of human beings in both cou…

Les comportements alimentaires. Quels en sont les déterminants ? Quelles actions pour les faire évoluer vers une meilleure adéquation avec les recomm…
2012
International audience; Although public policies have for many years spearheaded information campaigns about how eating affects health, rising obesity rates show that the expected effects have yet to be achieved. Why consumers do not practically comply with nutritional recommendations? This question lead the ministry in charge of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries to require in 2010 an updated state of knowledge for peer-reviewed literature and to commission INRA to undertake a collective scientific expertise on dietary behaviours. The aim was to investigate the multiple determinants of behaviours and how behaviours form and change in individuals according to social class and age, but also col…
