La strategia europea delle macroregioni. Opportunità e criticità
2018
Le politiche regionali europee hanno offerto nuovi spazi per promuovere l’azione ai livelli subnazionali di governo, nonché la possibilità di sperimentare nuove strategie per lo sviluppo territoriale. In questo lavoro prenderemo in considerazione la strategia macroregionale dell’Unione Europea al fine di identificare opportunità e aspetti critici delle esperienze già maturate (macroregioni del Mar Baltico, del Danubio, Adriatico-Ionica e Alpina), con particolare attenzione alla possibilità di istituire una macroregione del Mediterraneo occidentale. Alcune riflessioni e questioni critiche vengono proposte nella parte finale del contributo. European regional policies have offered new spaces t…
The Decision Making Tendency Inventory: A new measure to assess maximizing, satisficing, and minimizing
2015
Abstract We introduce the Decision Making Tendency Inventory (DMTI), a new scale for measuring the decision-making tendencies to maximize, to satisfice, and to minimize. The scale has promising psychometric properties. Our findings show that the revealed tendencies are independent from each other and from the specific decision-making domain. Each factor is differently related to a set of indices of well-being and functioning, suggesting intriguing considerations regarding the distinctive characteristics of maximizing, satisficing, and minimizing. The DMTI extends previous research on maximizing and might contribute to explain the inconsistent results in the literature. Directions for future…

Understanding short- and long-term implications of “myopic” fleet maintenance policies: a system dynamics application to a city bus company
2010
Financial losses recorded in city bus companies often force managers to implement restructuring strategies aimed at improving business results. However, such decisions may not produce the expected consequences for a number of reasons. Both the internal and external environment in which such companies operate can make the design and implementation of long-term sustainable policies quite difficult. In fact, the result may be that decision makers introduce "effective" policies in a company subsystem, while ignoring the medium- and long-term implications of such decisions in the performance of the whole company. With the aim to detect the main causes underlying "myopic" fleet maintenance polici…

Critica alla cooperazione neoliberale. Resilienza e governance nelle politiche di aiuto allo sviluppo
2018
In uno scenario globale in cui si dà per scontato che rischi e pericoli vadano oltre le nostre possibilità di controllo, la resilienza entra in gioco, come una sorta di codice di condotta, per responsabilizzare stati fragili e individui vulnerabili, facendo leva sulle loro capacità di adattamento e di assorbimento del danno. L’adattamento è una delle virtù cardinali del neoliberalismo e costituisce il nucleo concettuale della significazione politica della resilienza. Gli individui devono fare fronte ai mutamenti che derivano da un sistema in continua trasformazione, nel quale agiscono senza alcuna rete di protezione, esercitando una logica adattiva che forgia le loro soggettività e le decli…
Vulnerabilità e resilienza nelle politiche neoliberali di cooperazione allo sviluppo
2019
The essay is dedicated to the particular meaning that the vulnerability-resilience nexus has assumed in development cooperation policies, to observe how neoliberal governmentality regulates lives on the global scene today, its implications in terms of subjectivation, and the forms of life it validates and those that disqualify. Particular attention is paid to the neoliberal turn of the concepts of vulnerability and resilience, to the securitization processes, and precariousness of the lives generated by the abandonment practices in terms of lack of social protection and political recognition.

University and small and medium enterprises: interdependent systems or monads? A comparison between the italian university systems and the french one
2011
The Bologna process and the Lisbona strategy showed the different national laws the organizational axes around which innovate and harmonize the various European universities. The analysis of the different national reforms of the universities show, however, that the objectives of full employment and economic competitiveness do not appear fulfilled (Charle 2007). The reforms concerned the repartition of the university studies into two cycles, the development of students mobility programs, the promotion of international cooperation programs but, rarely, the construction of a competitive knowledge (Vallauri 2004). Moving from the comparison between the recent university reform realized in Italy…
