The trade-enhancing effect of immigration networks: New evidence on the role of geographic proximity

2012

Abstract We use migration-trade data from Italian, Portuguese and Spanish provinces to examine the importance of geographic proximity in the effectiveness of ethnic networks on bilateral trade. Empirical findings from the gravity model show that the migration-trade link is clearly in-province: exports from a province to a country do not receive any stimuli from immigrants from this country living outside of the province, once we control for country–province time-invariant fixed effects.

Some consideration about the gender violence in two States of Eastern and Western Europe

2015

The purpose of the essay is to overcome interpretative dualism between Italian people and Serbian people about gender violence against women. In a comparative approach it will find elements of continuity between the decline of male domination in Italy and the decline of patriarchal power in Serbia as a result of a variety of historical and social causes that, inside the paper, are explained. The emancipation of women finds a block in the violence suffered by partners in some familiar contexts. While globalization and unemployment seem to deprive men of the marks of traditional power, but “men in decline” have an post-patriarchal “identity revanche” in assuming the dominant role of perpetrat…

Polish emigrants in Düsseldorf The migrants’ heritage of identity and entry into German society

2019

Artykuł podejmuje problem możliwego wchodzenia polskich emigrantów w społeczeństwo niemieckie w Düsseldorfie. Dziedzictwo etniczno-kulturowe może być elementem ułatwiającym lub osłabiającym to zjawisko. Przeprowadzone badania miały charakter diagnostyczny (N:150), a problem badawczy dotykał przebiegu procesu asymilacji społeczno-kulturowej polskich emigrantów w Düsseldorfie. Wyniki badań wskazały, że emigracja polska jest zróżnicowana wewnętrznie i w różnym stopniu integruje się ze społeczeństwem niemieckim. Cechy najbardziej ją różnicujące w poglądach to miejsce dorastania i czas wyjazdu z Polski. Migranci z obszaru Śląska (historyczne pogranicze etniczno-kulturowe) łatwiej adaptują się do…

Planning Research ‘with’ Minorities in Palermo: Negotiating Ethics and Commitments in a Participatory Process

2008

The paper will explore some ethical issues which arise when undertaking research with minorities (ethnic groups, children, poor people) in the context of an uncollaborative planning process, like the Palermo Local Agenda 21. There are important ethical issues that have to be carefully considered when undertaking research with people, particularly when these people are marginalised or excluded by wider society. Here, issues of powerlessness and vulnerability abound. If this is accepted, some questions arise. How are we supposed to consider planning researchers – understood as immersed in the policy process – as moral/political agents, given their political commitments? Here there are both ge…

“La feccia dell’Europa del Sud”. Razza e costruzione dell’identità etnica nella stampa italiana di New York (1890-1910)

2016

A partire dai primi anni di immigrazione di massa (1890), gli immigrati italiani furono sempre raffigurati nella stampa mainstream in associazione con la criminalità, in particolare la criminalità organizzata,. Le prime immagini dei nuovi arrivati visti come una minaccia per la sicurezza e la moralità americana, ​​col progredire del nuovo secolo, si diffusero sempre di più cristallizzandosi nella mente degli americani e finendo per diventare le rappresentazioni predominanti degli immigrati italiani. La risposta delle comunità italiane di nuova formazione si trova sulla stampa italo-americana, che fornì immagini alternative con cui la comunità italiana potesse identificarsi e prospettive alt…

Nuevos datos sobre la sociedad y el derecho celtibéricos: la regulación de la cabaña ganadera

2012

Basándose en varios documentos medievales, mediante los cuales los reyes de la Corona de Aragón restablecieron un tribunal especial consuetudinario (tribunal del ligallo) para devolver a sus dueños el ganado mostrenco, el Autor determina el origen de este tribunal como antiquísima institución celtibérica y reconstruye su funcionamiento y papel en las sociedades célticas de la Península Ibérica. Esta corte de justicia, propia de todas las agrupaciones celtibéricas de siete miembros (oppida), se reunía dos veces por año, coincidiendo sus sesiones con las dos grandes festividades de Beltene (1 de mayo) y de Samain (1 de noviembre), y tenía como misión resolver todos los conflictos pecuarios su…
