Soil conservation and sustainable development goals(SDGs) achievement in Europe and central Asia: Which role for the European soil partnership?
2021
Abstract Voluntary soil protection measures are not sufficient to achieve sustainable soil management at a global scale. Additionally, binding soil protection legislation at national and international levels has also proved to be insufficient for the effective protection of this non-renewable natural resource. In 2012, the FAO Members established the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) with the mission to facilitate and contribute exchange of knowledge and technologies related to soils, and develop dialogue and raise awareness for the need to establish a binding global agreement for sustainable soil management. Moreover, region-specific aspects of implementation are considered and strengthened th…

Public-Private Partnerships: Agency Costs in the Privatization of Social Infrastructure Financing
2019
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been subjected to considerable public debate. In particular, this debate has concerned PPP financing and its implications. Using insights from agency theory, this study aims to develop a theoretical understanding of PPP financing. The following research question is investigated: How does the privatization of financing decrease or increase agency costs in social infrastructure PPPs? A comparative case study consisting of four Norwegian PPP projects with different financial configurations is undertaken. The findings suggest that the private sector is risk averse, increasing the cost of capital. In addition, private financing does not seem to have the i…

I nuovi volti del sistema penale: fra cooperazione pubblico-privato e meccanismi di integrazione fra hard law e soft law
2022
La partnership pubblico-privato e l’integrazione tra hard e soft law hanno rappresentato negli ultimi anni, anche nel nostro ordinamento, la cifra del contrasto alla criminalità economica. Il volume affronta le implicazioni penalistiche di questa strategia di contrasto, focalizzando l’attenzione sul tema della responsabilità degli enti ma dedicando spazio altresì a settori di disciplina (riciclaggio, reati tributari e ambientali, abuso d’ufficio etc.) progressivamente interessati da questo approccio alla prevenzione e repressione dei fenomeni criminosi di cui si tratta. Public-private partnerships and the integration of hard and soft law have represented in recent years, also in our legal s…
