CANDIDATI “STRANIERI” E ORGANI CONSULTIVI: UNO SGUARDO SULLA PARTECIPAZIONE POLITICA DEI MIGRANTI
2016
La partecipazione politica locale dei migranti costituisce un fenomeno interessante e ancora poco indagato. Il contributo affronta in breve due elementi: la partecipazione politica dei migranti in occasione delle elezioni amministrative 2012 nel Comune di Palermo in termini di elettorato passivo e le funzioni e le modalità di partecipazione degli organi consultivi per i migranti presenti in Sicilia. Local political participation of migrants is an interesting and unobserved phenomenon. The contribution deals briefly with two aspects: the political participation of migrants during the 2012 administrative elections in the Municipality of Palermo in terms of passive electorate and the functions…
"Engaging migrants in e-consultations: a way to recognize their political rights and identity", in Angelini A. (2011) (a cura di), Migrants, Cultural…
2011
This chapter reflects on the role of the new media – the Internet and mobile communications – in facilitating alternative forms of public participation that involve citizens and migrants in the policy making. The e-consultation, in this way, becomes not only a means of investigation for informational purposes and data collection, but also a method to foster knowledge of the needs and perspectives of migrants to a given law or public intervention and, therefore, a realistic way that get informed foreigners too, to develop an alternative procedure of social and cultural integration.
"Intecity": esempi di trasformazione degli spazi in un quartiere del centro storico di Palermo
2012
The presence and the integration of migrants in the cities, leads to the articulation of new forms of urban life. By an empirical research conducted in 2007 in a suburb of the historical centre of Palermo, Palazzo Reale, the cognitive question that we posed to ourselves, was to observe whether the presence of migrants in an urban area traditionally “marginal” has triggered off a transformation in its structure and in the structure of the relationship between these spaces.
Migration Discourse and the New Socially Constructed Meanings of the English Lingua Franca
2022
After the 1990s, the mass arrival of immigrants in Europe transformed the phenomenon of migration from a benefit into a problem and opened the debate to issues of first aid, security, expulsion and rejection. Even today, migrants are no longer seen as a socio-economic resource to be protected and regulated, but as a potential social problem affecting areas such as the economy, health and national security. The paper deals with the linguistically relevant literature about migration discourse (MD) and the role of English as lingua franca in public discourse related to the migration phenomenon. The latter part examines some traditional English key terms used to represent migrants since their m…
The migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea: Empirical evidence on policy interventions
2021
Abstract This paper presents a novel set of empirical evidence to explore several hypotheses regarding the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. The political instability in transit countries, such as Libya, that made pre-existent repatriation policies ineffective, called for several search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean, which in turn have been wrongly accused of fostering illegal immigration and increasing deaths at sea. The empirical results show that the main determinants of the departures are several root causes at the departing African countries, underlining the importance of fighting human smuggling networks. The paper suggests a change in migration studies’ perspectiv…
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Legal Migrant in Poland, Portugal, Latvia, and Belgium
2021
Purpose: The article aims to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic about legal migrants in selected European Union countries amidst the tighter restrictions and travel constraints introduced worldwide. Design/Methodology/Approach: The article uses data and source analysis and a modeling method to demonstrate the extrapolation of migration trends. Findings: The employed methodology enabled the authors to establish that in Poland, Portugal, Latvia, and Belgium, measures were taken to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of legal migrants residing on their territories during the introduction of the movement restrictions. Practical Implications: According to the authors, the ex…
Migranti e lotta alla povertà. La Corte costituzionale nega il reddito di cittadinanza ai titolari del permesso di soggiorno per ricerca di un'occupa…
2022
Il commento analizza la recente sentenza n. 19/2022 della Corte costituzionale, in cui il Giudice delle leggi ha ritenuto costituzionalmente legittima la previsione legislativa, che subordina alla titolarità del permesso di soggiorno di lungo periodo l’ottenimento del reddito di cittadinanza per i migranti extracomunitari. The essay analyses the recent Italian constitutional court ruling (no. 19/2022), that deems constitutional social security law, which subordinates the granting of minimum income guaranteed to the ownership of permanent residence permit for non-EU citizens.
Ancient DNA Reveals Key Stages in the Formation of Central European Mitochondrial Genetic Diversity
2013
The Origins of Europeans To investigate the genetic origins of modern Europeans, Brandt et al. (p. 257 ) examined ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and were able to identify genetic differences in 364 Central Europeans spanning the early Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age. Observed changes in mitochondrial haplotypes corresponded with hypothesized human migration across Eurasia and revealed the complexity of the demographic changes and evidence of a Late Neolithic origin for the European mtDNA gene pool. This transect through time reveals four key population events associated with well-known archaeological cultures, which involved genetic influx into Central Europe from various directions at…
La movilidad geográfica de búlgaros y rumanos durante la Gran Recesión en España
2021
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las pautas de movilidad de los inmigrantes procedentes de Bulgaria y Rumania durante la grave crisis económico-laboral que afecta a España.

The Role of the Church and Mosque in the Political Mobilization of Black African Immigrants in Finland at the Municipal Level
2015
Research has generally shown that the church and mosque play some role in immigrant political integration, especially mobilization. In Finland, this is not yet known as no research has yet examined it. This leaves a gap on whether the church and/or the mosque play such role. This paper seeks to fill this gap, using Black African immigrants as a case study through in-depth interviews. The focus is on political mobilization at the municipal level where many immigrants in Finland have full local suffrage. The study does not just examine the role of the church and mosque in mobilization in conventional politics (such as voting, party membership, campaigning), but also in the unconventional (suc…
