Collaboration and Decision Making in Crisis Situations
2016
[EN] Emergencies are critical situations that demand immediate action to avoid adverse consequences to life and property. Recent events around the world highlight the importance of the theme. A key challenge in Emergency Management is decision-making under time pressure, with an overload of unconfirmed, uncertain and conflicting information, including the management of many people, with distinct and possibly fluid roles, in different places. Collaboration in these settings is an interesting element, since emergency response generally involves multiple agencies and the public, which, having different views, protocols and priorities, must act in concert to handle the situation. In addition, a…
Cosmopolitanism About Culture: Specifying Individualism
2021
Still drawing on the classical distinction between moderate and extreme cosmopolitanism, this chapter analyses different specifications of the individualism element providing different answers to what it means to respect individuals as moral equals. The analysis eventually presents eight types of specification but rejects all of them as either still too broad or untenable. Only a hybrid type, which is composed of assumptions of different specification types, appears more promising. This defines the new concept of cosmopolitanism: cosmopolitanism as nonrelationism.
Explanatory frameworks for interaction design
2005
Explanatory design means the practice by which design solutions are evidence-based. This practice has been the norm in engineering design, relying as it does on the laws of science, but much less attention has been paid to the necessity of abandoning intuitive practices in designing for the human element within technological systems. One reason for this may have been the variety of explanatory bases within psychology. There is no single psychological framework for explaining human behaviour; instead different types of problems must be solved by using very different types of explanatory frameworks and theory language. Cognitive capacity, emotions and mental contents may serve as examples of …
Diritto penale d'autore, diritto penale del nemico e diritto penale del fatto: quale modello per la posizione dello straniero?
2013
La svolta marcatamente repressiva degli strumenti penali del c.d. pacchetto sicurezza del 15 luglio 2009 disciplinanti il soggiorno di stranieri non comunitari ha indotto una molteplicità di effetti che verranno definiti come clandestinità derivata": a) intanto di tipo clandestino diventa l ingresso del diritto penale del nemico nel diritto dei cittadini; b) inoltre si può ritenere clandestino l intervento giurisprudenziale attuato miratamente a ricalibrare il rispetto dei diritti della persona e che diventa per questo a sua volta bersaglio dei nuovi interventi legislativi, tendenti ad escluderlo o quantomeno a circoscriverlo al massimo; c) infine si manifesta come clandestina l inclusione …
Reciprocal vs nonreciprocal trade agreements: Which have been best to promote exports?
2019
The Doha Development Agenda recognizes the central role that international trade can play in the promotion of economic development. In fact, the increase of exports from developing countries to developed nations' markets has been considered a key element for developing countries to realize the potential benefits of globalization. Over the last decades, developed countries have provided preferential access to their markets to developing countries through nonreciprocal trade agreements. Moreover, developing countries have also participated in reciprocal trade agreements. This paper re-examines comparatively the effect of both kinds of trade agreements on exports from developing countries but …
Las imbricaciones políticas entre la participación ciudadana e internet
2019
In this article the author tries to show the direct relationships that are established between the possibilities offered by the Internet and a participatory improvement. Citizen participation is a basic element in anydemocratic construction, so using the tools available with the growth of the Internet is a crucial issue for democratic progress. Obviously the relationship with social networks is also widely discussed and studied, reflecting on whether the political advances involved are sufficient for better collective coexistence or if, on the contrary, it is a projection of apparent progress. Finally, the issue related to electronic voting is analyzed as a paradigm of online participatory …
Transnational Organized Crime and European Union: Aspects and Problems
2014
The fight against criminal organizations and their ability to carry out illegal activities beyond the national borders has represented a “bridge head” in the European path towards the harmonization of criminal laws in the member states. After considering the role played by the harmonization of criminal law in the European Union treaties, the study underlines how the difficulty in defining the concept of transnational organized crime could result in an excessive European intervention. In order to avoid such a risk, it is useful to refer to other relevant international sources, like the 2000 Palermo UN Convention, and also to recent European documents on the matter (in particular, a Resolutio…
DELL’UTRI E CONTRADA “GEMELLI DIVERSI”: È LA REVISIONE EUROPEA LO STRUMENTO DI OTTEMPERANZA ALLE SENTENZE CEDU
2017
La Cassazione nega l’origine giurisprudenziale del concorso esterno in associazione mafiosa e individua il rimedio della revisione europea per l’attuazione della decisione CEDU nei confronti di soggetti in posizioni simili a quella di Contrada. Il percorso offre l’occasione per riflettere sulla connotazione “oggettiva” della prevedibilità e sull’uguaglianza di trattamento dei condannati. Italian supreme Court denies that the origin of external participation in mafia-type criminal association lies in case law and envisages the European review as the tool to comply with ECtHR judgements in similar cases to that of Contrada. This jurisprudence provides a proper opportunity for an in-depth exam…

The Myth of French Influence Over Spanish Codification: The General Part of the Criminal Codes of 1822 and 1848
2018
The chapter aims to explore the scope of the foreign influences, that of the French in particular, in the criminal codes of 1822 and 1848/50. In doing so, the author departs from the views of some 19th century criminal lawyers who, like J. F. Pacheco, stated that in the old criminal laws “nothing was worthy of respect, or conservation” and “there was only one legitimate and viable system, the system of codification, the system of absolute change,” and recognizing that drafters were fully acquainted with the case of France, a jurisdiction that managed to turn its old laws—including the criminal ones—into modern codes (1804–1811). The author briefly presents the status quaestionis of the dich…
