Antimafia e movimenti delle donne. Protagoniste, culture, linguaggi
2016
Il saggio analizza il ruolo giocato dalle donne nei movimenti antimafia a partire dalla loro presenza –cospicua e importante – all’interno dei Fasci dei lavoratori in Sicilia alla fine dell’800 fino alle esperienze del Comitato dei Lenzuoli e dell’Associazione donne per il digiuno nate a Palermo all’indomani delle stragi di Capaci e di via D’Amelio, in cui le figure femminili hanno svolto un ruolo di primo piano sperimentando forme espressive e di mobilitazione civile alternative ed efficaci. L’approccio scelto per l’analisi incrocia gli studi sulla mafia come sistema di potere violento e totalitario con la relazione tra i sessi, intesa come scontro di poteri, in cui svolge un peso determin…
The ECHR Condemns Prison Overcrowding in Italy: The Total Reorganization of the Institution and the Social Reintegration of the Prisoner
2017
The contribution analyses the current Italian prison system, which has been called upon on to resolve its structural problems. The Council of Europe, in fact, in 2013 condemned Italy for inhuman treatment in its prisons. The principal accusation concerns the problem of overcrowding. The country has responded with solutions such as the application of the open system, which provides cells solely for overnight stays, and dynamic monitoring, an effective system for ensuring order in the institutions. These initiatives aim to promote re-educational activities and the social re-integration of prisoners. In addition, Italian institutions have made greater use of alternatives to custodial penalties…
Reconstructing Care Professionalism in Finland
2015
The public sector plays a special role in the Nordic welfare states through its commitment to the principle of universalism, and in relation to social security and publicly funded services in education, health and care (Rostgaard 2002). In the 21st century, the impact of economic austerity on public resources and a rapid aging of the population have forced welfare states to undergo an extreme reform. In Finland, the reform has meant streamlining the state, restraining public expenditure and recalibrating the universalistic ideals behind the Nordic welfare state model, as well as introducing new management models (Pollitt & Bouckaert 2011). The managerial reforms implemented in Finland have …

La migración femenina, el trabajo doméstico asalariado y la violación de los derechos humanos
2015
The feminization of migrations, especially in the Mediterranean countries of Europe, is associated with new forms of exploitation of migrant labor. This article aims to analyze from this point of view the market of domestic and care work of migrant women in the homes of Italian families, placing it in relation to the deficiencies of national social policies. The analysis of this phenomenon in the Italian context - developed with the support of a series of interviews with migrant workers - reveals about these women and their families of origin the violation of certain fundamental human rights : primarily the right to the family unity, bound by the rules of family reunification, by the cohabi…
Donne autrici o vittime di reato? Un’indagine sull’efficacia delle misure alternative nei percorsi di recupero delle detenute nel contesto agrigentino
2015
Nel senso comune la pena detentiva e considerata un elemento inevitabile della so¬cieta contemporanea. Essa continua ad essere percepita nell’immaginario collettivo come uno strumento di segregazione per coloro che sono riconosciuti colpevoli di particolari reati. I principi classici della prontezza, proporzionalita, infallibilita e dolcezza della pena non si identificano oggi esclusivamente con un edificio – la prigione – ma, sempre piu di frequente, con strumenti alternativi e piu efficaci per il recupero e la risocializzazione del soggetto. Proprio in questi decenni in cui l’intreccio fra poverta, penalita ed esclusione sociale diviene sempre piu evidente, l’afflizione a cui il singolo e…

When Fiscal Consolidation Meets Private Deleveraging
2016
We analyze the interaction between fiscal consolidation and private-sector deleveraging in an economy within a monetary union. Pre-existing long term collateralized private debt – a core ingredient of the deleveraging process – plays a critical role in shaping fiscal multipliers. By buffering the short-run fall in debtors’ spending capacity, long-run private debt reduces the short-run multipliers of aggressive (large and/or fast) consolidations. However, absent credibility concerns, aggressive consolidations raise the intensity and length of private deleveraging, causing higher output losses over the medium run. In terms of discounted output losses and welfare, this latter effect dominates,…
