Political community resilience in declining rural areas in Finland
2021
Abstract In this article, we study how declining rural communities build political resilience in Finland. Community resilience is an adaptive process through which rural communities try to maintain their viability in changed circumstances. This process does not entail a submissive attitude, but rather active agency and an effort to influence matters concerning the community’s well-being. We focus on the political dimension of resilience by identifying different local tactics that rural communities adopt to promote their own development following municipal mergers. We classify these tactics into three categories: cooperation, conflict and community-led development. The significant difference…
Human Sociability in Antonio Montecatini's (1537–99) Commentary on Aristotle's Politics
2021
The present article delves into the history of political philosophy by discussing human sociability in Antonio Montecatini's (1537–99) commentary on Aristotle's Politics. The focus is on a philosophical analysis of three interrelated ideas that Montecatini discusses: (1) Aristotle's dictum that human beings are political animals by nature; (2) naturalness of the household; and (3) the nature and origin of political communities. Montecatini's views are briefly related to those of John Case (ca. 1546–1600), and they are also contextualized within the late medieval commentary tradition on the Politics, but the main aim is to clarify Montecatini's philosophical position and examine the ways in …
Extending the Limits of Nature. Political Animals, Artefacts, and Social Institutions
2020
This essay discusses how medieval authors from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries dealt with a philosophical problem that social institutions pose for the Aristotelian dichotomy between natural and artificial entities. It is argued that marriage, political community, and language provided a particular challenge for the conception that things which are designed by human beings are artefacts. Medieval philosophers based their arguments for the naturalness of social institutions on the anthropological view that human beings are political animals by nature, but this strategy required rethinking the borderline between nature and art. The limits of nature were extended, as social institution…
Caritas e bene comune
2014
Tra il XIII e il XIV secolo in Italia, e soprattutto a Firenze, prende forma una nuova ideologia del «bene comune», molto legata al rafforzamento dello «stato» comunale durante la fase caratterizzata dal dominio del «popolo» . Alla base di questo rinnovamento sta l’esplicita politicizzazione della virtù cristiana della carità. Il legame politico rientrava tradizionalmente nelle categorie dell’amicizia e dell’amore, non della carità, virtù «universale» che legava l’uomo a Dio e gli uomini tra di loro nella comunità della chiesa: il sistema tomista fornisce un rappresentazione codificata di questa logica. Viceversa, alcuni autori, da Tolomeo da Lucca a Remigio de’Girolami a Coluccio Salutati,…
The Educational Construction of a Social Person and the Unexpected Development of a Human Being
2008
The phenomenon of migratory flows, always present in human history, is today analyzed in such a way as to define a boundary, an us and a them. From the point of view of the host society, the problem is seen in terms of the legitimate conditions of “entry”. But in actual fact, migratory flow modifies the social composition of the political community and therefore could lead to the obligation of also observing phenomena from the migrant’s point of view.
PISA y TALIS ¿congruencia o discrepancia?

Las evaluaciones educativas internacionales a gran escala ofrecen información de interés para la comunidad educativa, científica y política. Son muchos los estudios derivados de ellas, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.

El desafío de la igualdad domestica a la apertura de las fronteras : el argumento de la singularidad de la coacción estatal | The challenge of domest…
2017
Resumen: Este trabajo examina uno de los argumentos más relevantes empleado para justificar que los integrantes de una misma comunidad política se deban mutuamente deberes de justicia distributiva más exigentes y fuertes que lo que tienen respecto al resto de seres humanos, hasta el punto de justificar un sistema de fronteras cerradas similar al actual. Se trata del que cabría denominar como “argumento de la singularidad de la coacción estatal”. El mismo asume como premisa empírica que dicha coacción es estructural y funcionalmente diferente a la que podamos encontrar en el ámbito internacional, incluida la que se ejerce a través de la prevención y represión directa de la entrada de persona…
The Royal Nation in Global Perspective
2017
Adopting transnational and global history methodologies, this book suggests that the relationship between monarchies and nation-state formation has often been a symbiotic one, and that this can only be adequately explained through a global perspective, going beyond the local histories of particular state systems. While the nation-state has been the most influential concept of political community in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, royal dynasties have, however, often provided a centralized administrative-juridical-cultural locus around which a national community has crystallized itself. Monarchic rulerships have played a central role in the emergence of modern nation-states, which fo…
