• The practices of the everyday war against migrations (and its paradoxes)

  22 January 2007
  Starting from the Seventies, and particularly since the beginning of the Nineties, the practices adopted in order to manage international migrations give the impression to progressively reproduce a «revolving door» dynamics. By this metaphor we refer to the fact that nowadays borders ambivalently work as filters, which may alternatively block or tolerate and promote the movement of people, always conditioning it.

• Les paradoxes (apparents) de la guerre aux migrations

  22 janvier 2007
  Pour aborder de manière appropriée et efficace les véritables problèmes d’intégration des immigrés il est avant tout nécessaire comprendre quand, où et pourquoi les immigrés arrivent à s’insérer et à s’intégrer ou au contraire n’arrivent pas à atteindre ce résultat. Qu’est ce que favorise ou, au contraire, fait obstacle à l’intégration ? Il est alors utile recenser les expériences positives et négatives voire les "bonnes et les mauvaises pratiques" pour mieux comprendre comment les ONG peuvent contribuer à ce que les immigrés puissent se construire une intégration pacifique et régulière.

• Analysis of statistical data from 1990 to the present day about immigration and income distribution, work market, housing situation, and informal economies

  22 January 2007
  Immigration of foreigners in Italy could be seen not just as a particularly meaningful case in comparison with the phenomena on other southern European countries but in the European Union on the whole. While internal migration and emigration were the fundamental factors of all European nations in the 19th century and even in the ‘60s in the 20th century, these events were linked to colonisation, to industrial growth and the aspiration of emancipation of the subordinate classes, in essence to the first «great transformation», today’s migration is obviously connected to neo-liberal globalised development and as ever to aspirations of economic, social and political emancipation, which is common to all people in every part of the world, such being the second great transformation, regarded as the advent of post-modernism dating from the 1970s.

• Securitarism, reproduction of disorder and erosion of democratic rule of law

  22 January 2007
  Insecurity and security has taken an increasing importance and political weight since the 1980s and more so since the 1990s, first of all, in the United States and then in Europe and the rest of the world. The phenomenon has grown through the often extreme medialisation on the issue of insecurity and security of the great urban agglomerations in wealthy nations. After the 11th September 2001, it was absorbed into the subject of permanent war against the new «global enemy» . Before going into an analysis of the different interpretations of the phenomenon, I believe it would be useful to outline the contents and therefore the theoretical and methodological instruments I intend to use in this work.

• Effects of Exceptionalism on social cohesion in Europe and beyond

  30 November 2004
  Developing the framework of the Elise project, the Genoa group workpackage of Challenge project intends to carry out the research through a number of in-depth case studies regarding the production of various security concepts and practices at local, national, European and global level. We will investigate the reality of what has been defined «Full spectrum dominance», that is the reality of a fractional order - or rather dis-order -, resulting from the interaction of different actors with often divergent interests, and the possible alternative to such a disorder resulting from the construction of the European Union.
