The role of social networking services in eParticipation
2009
Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 5694, 46-55. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-03781-8_5 A serious problem in eParticipation projects is citizen engagement – citizens do not necessarily become more willing to participate simply because net-services are provided for them. Most forms of eParticipation in democratic contexts are, however, dependent on citizen engagement, interaction and social networking because democratic systems favour the interests of larger groups of citizens – the more voices behind a political proposition, the greater its chances of success. In this context of challenges the study of s…
Il dibattito internazionale e la (ri)appropriazione locale del confronto sugli spazi autonomi
2014
Da alcuni decenni ormai, le pratiche di (ri)appropriazione e riconversione temporanea a fini “pubblici” di aree in disuso hanno fatto emergere esperienze interessanti, nelle principali città europee (e non solo) e in maniera significativa in alcune tra le più importanti città italiane. Un rinnovato interesse per questi temi ha dato vita, in particolare negli ultimi anni, a una serie di analisi teoriche oggi di riferimento per il dibattito internazionale. In questo contesto sembra oggi più che mai necessario introdurre autori e riferimenti internazionali per legittimare un confronto accademico su temi di pianificazione radicale come quello che riguarda il “diritto all’appropriazione” (Lefebv…
Koncepcja ryzyka socjalnego w polskim prawie ubezpieczeń społecznych
2020
Zarys koncepcji ryzyka socjalnego wpolskim prawie ubezpieczeń społecznych stworzono przy wykorzystaniu amerykańskiego (ekonomicznego) podejścia do teorii ryzyka ubezpieczeniowe-go ujmującego to pojęcie wkategoriach niebezpieczeństwa postrzeganego jako przyczyna realnych zdarzeń. Wkonsekwencji istota ochrony ubezpieczeniowej sprowadza się do odczuwania komfortu psychicznego (poczucia bezpieczeństwa materialnego) zapewnionego przez sam fakt ubezpieczenia. Tym samym za świadczenie wzajemne ztytułu bezwarunkowo opłacanej składki uważa się przejęcie iponoszenie ryzyka przez ubezpieczyciela, anie ewentualne wypłacenie świadczenia ubezpiecze-niowego. Mając to na uwadze, ryzyko socjalne należy rozp…

The commented resolution of the Supreme Court concerns the classification of a pleading filed by an insured person, the content of which indicates that the person disagrees with a decision on the merits of the case, in the context of doubts as to whether the pleading constitutes an appeal or a request for the service of a judgment with a statement of reasons. The Supreme Court held that if this type of uncertainty arises, the court should take action to clarify the real intention of the party, i.e. summon the insured person, on pain of returning the pleading, to remedy the formal defect of failing to identify the type of pleading. This view has been justified with good arguments, in particu…
A Universal Health Care System? Unmet Need for Medical Care Among Regular and Irregular Immigrants in Italy
2017
Italy has a universal health care system that covers, in principle, the whole resident population, irrespective of citizenship and legal status. This study calculates the prevalence of unmet need for medical care among Italian citizens, regular and irregular immigrants and estimates logistic regression models to assess whether differences by citizenship and legal status hold true once adjusting for potential confounders. The analysis is based on two Surveys on Income and Living Conditions of Italian households and households with foreigners. Controlling for various factors, the odds of experiencing unmet need for medical care are 27% higher for regular immigrants than for Italian citizens a…
‘There should be no open doors in the police’: criminal investigations in northern Ghana as boundary work
2012
ABSTRACTIn criminal investigations by police officers in northern Ghana, the lines are fluid: civilians arrest suspects on their own, assuming the tasks of the police. Police officers are heavily influenced by civilians, often forming paid alliances with them. Yet such entanglements paradoxically enable state policing and integrate the police into society in a context of low resources and low legitimacy. Other practices limit and frame such transgressions. Using the concept of boundary work, this article analyses how actors maintain and negotiate the seemingly blurred distinction between state and society in West Africa.
Interactive Uses of Journalism: Crossing Between Technological Potential and Young People’s News-Using Practices
2004
The article examines the interactive uses of journalism, focusing on the changes brought by new communication technology in the everyday news media uses of young Finns. The study is based on a survey and in-depth interviews. The results indicate that even though young Finns have easy access to new communication technology, journalism is still predominantly used via television and printed newspapers. While nearly all subjects followed news regularly, a fifth of the respondents had taken advantage of participatory activities offered by the news media. Consequently, technology alone does not seem to alter news practices. The interactive usage of journalism thus seems to be individualized ente…
‘Gentlemen, all aboard!’ ICT and party politics: Reflections from a Mass-eParticipation experience
2015
Abstract Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use is becoming an ever more popular way to involve citizens in political decision making. And yet, despite their recently increasing number, few eParticipation initiatives have achieved their intended aims. If nothing else, this shows that the internal processes, challenges and opportunities of using ICT to engage citizens in politics deserve further examination. The present paper attempts to undertake such an investigation by analysing Italy's Five Star Movement, a mass-eParticipation-based political organisation recently founded by private citizens. Using an interpretive case-study approach, this paper assesses the goals, participat…
Asociacionismo, ciudadanía y bienestar social
2004
Durante las dos últimas décadas del siglo XX, se ha producido un giro histórico en el asociacionismo español, que se plasma tanto en la creación de asociaciones y en la participación asociativa, como en la institucionalización (leyes del voluntariado, de asociaciones, etc.) y en el interés académico que suscita el fenómeno. Tres interpretaciones se han dado del mismo: una utópica, que lo considera como expresión de una radicalización participativa; otra crítica, que ve en el mismo un subterfugio para diluir la privatización del Estado de bienestar, y una integrada, que habla en términos de la aparición de un tercer sector junto al mercado y el Estado. Cada una de ellas es sugerente, pero in…
