La funzione anticoncorrenziale della contrattazione collettiva nazionale di categoria. Nodi critici e prospettive
2021
Diversi fattori concorrano a destabilizzare la funzione anticoncorrenziale della contrattazione collettiva. Tra questi, la segmentazione delle categorie e la frammentazione delle rappresentanze hanno contribuito alla proliferazione dei contratti disponibili, divenuti oggetto di una vera e propria competizione al ribasso. Il piano su cui la crisi della funzione antidumping della contrattazione appare più immediatamente tangibile è quello salariale, acuendo, piuttosto che arginando, l’ormai dilagante fenomeno di impoverimento del lavoro. Il saggio, dopo l’analisi di tali aspetti, si sofferma sulle opzioni de iure condendo e sul loro contributo in un’ottica di riconquista della tradizionale au…
Thèse : L'intégration de l'environnement au droit de l'électricité. Vers le renouvellement d'un service public.
2012
Equality, continuity and adaptability. Foundations of the right of the public utilities, Rolland laws apply vigorously to the public service for electricity, where activities did not change since the advent of the « electricity fairy ». It is always about producing, transporting, distributing and supplying electricity, respecting the general interest. Nevertheless, the legal framework applicable to these activities is under a dramatic transition, stemming from the will of the European Union to create a single market for electricity. These changes incrementally drive to a shift of the public utility, basically socially oriented, to more and more demanding and diversified economic objectives.…
The Village of the Year Competition Constructing an Ideal Model of a Rural Community in Finland
2016
The Village Action Association of Finland (SYTY) organizes the Village of the Year competition annually to award active rural communities. The competition has taken place since 1985, but after the village action movement was integrated into Finnish rural policy networks in the 1990s, it also became a part of rural policy instruments. The competition can be considered a governing technique that constructs norms and an ideal model for rural communities to pursue. In this article, I study the representation of an ideal rural community by analysing the criteria of the competition. I also look for changes to see whether the integration of the village action movement into rural policy is reflecte…
Lake size and fish diversity determine resource use and trophic position of a top predator in high-latitude lakes
2015
Prey preference of top predators and energy flow across habitat boundaries are of fundamental importance for structure and function of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, as they may have strong effects on production, species diversity, and food-web stability. In lakes, littoral and pelagic food-web compartments are typically coupled and controlled by generalist fish top predators. However, the extent and determinants of such coupling remains a topical area of ecological research and is largely unknown in oligotrophic high-latitude lakes. We analyzed food-web structure and resource use by a generalist top predator, the Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus (L.), in 17 oligotrophic subarctic lakes…

Switching spatial scale reveals dominance-dependent social foraging tactics in a wild primate
2017
When foraging in a social group, individuals are faced with the choice of sampling their environment directly or exploiting the discoveries of others. The evolutionary dynamics of this trade-off have been explored mathematically through the producer-scrounger game, which has highlighted socially exploitative behaviours as a major potential cost of group living. However, our understanding of the tight interplay that can exist between social dominance and scrounging behaviour is limited. To date, only two theoretical studies have explored this relationship systematically, demonstrating that because scrounging requires joining a competitor at a resource, it should become exclusive to high-rank…
Rywalizacja międzypartyjna i wewnątrzpartyjna w kampanii referendum europejskiego w Wielkiej Brytanii z 2016 roku
2017
The objective of this paper is an analysis of the course of the 2016 EU referendum campaign from the perspective of the political battle between the parties and between intra -party factions. Besides the main goals of the UK’s leaving the EU or remaining within it, the stakes of the battle included the strengthening of one’s own political camp, the weakening of one’s opponents, the gaining of power within a party or, eventually, the gaining of power in the country. The article is divided into two major parts devoted to the analysis of inter -party rivalry and intra -party rivalry respectively. The referendum (both its campaign and results) has demolished the existing political make -up dete…
Specyfika partyjnej rywalizacji politycznej w wyborach do samorządu terytorialnego w roku 2014 na przykładzie województwa opolskiego
2017
Celem artykułu jest ustalenie, jak przebiega rywalizacja polityczna na poziomie samorządowym w woj. opolskim, tzn. czy lokalne podmioty skutecznie współzawodniczą z partiami politycznymi i czy ostateczny rezultat wpisuje się w specyfikę elekcji na poziomie subnarodowym (tzn., czy upartyjnienie wzrasta wraz ze szczeblem samorządu), czy też odznacza się jakimiś cechami charakterystycznymi. W tym celu przeprowadzona została analiza statystyczna wyników wyborów samorządowych 2014 roku, uwzględniająca partyjne komitety wyborcze oraz komitet wyborczy Mniejszości Niemieckiej, który traktujemy jak protopartię. Analizie podlegała zarówno liczba kandydatów, jak i liczba wybranych radnych oraz wójtów,…
