La voce delle militanti scese in Piazza del Popolo il 25 settembre. “Continuiamo a combattere per la nostra libertà e i nostri diritti”
Il 25 settembre in Piazza del Popolo a Roma, in occasione di una manifestazione all’insegna dell’universalità di diritti e opportunità, anche le donne afgane sono scese in piazza.

Public figures like politicians and journalists are no strangers to hate speech and online harassment. Though this is not a new phenomenon, our globalised age has seen the internet become a new terrain where vitriol thrives and spreads. With a focus on Italy, Sofia Cherici traces the roots of the hate that permeates the online and offline worlds to reinforce exclusionary structures and silence the voices of women and minorities. With cyber hate at crisis point, democracy itself is at stake.

In Manfredonia, a small town on the Gargano peninsular in the southern Italian region of Puglia, deep scars have been left on the land and its inhabitants by cultural and industrial colonisation. This is a story of democratic exclusion that began with the building of a petrochemical plant on the edge of the town by state-run chemical giant EniChem in the early 1970s. Through a decades-long struggle for health and dignity, a political community was born. Now that the city’s story is being told...

A Manfredonia, la città pugliese che apre al Gargano, la tragedia di colonizzazione culturale e industriale iniziata dal petrolchimico di proprietà dell’EniChem negli anni ‘70 ha segnato questa terra e i suoi abitanti. Ora che il terreno e il mare sono contaminati e la storia della città viene finalmente raccontata, tra la popolazione nascono movimenti democratici di stampo ambientalista che cercano di riprendere il controllo della propria terra e strapparla dallo sfruttamento di mafie e indu...

Abstract: Given the crucial role played by social policies in guaranteeing political stability in the MENA region, this study delves into the domain of social protection systems in Egypt in order to understand to what extent the social, economic, and political functions of the Egyptian welfare state are fulfilled based on empirical evidence and available data.

In 2004, the unattended properties of Genova’s former train station were dusty spaces with cracked walls that had fallen into disuse. Following a century-long process of depopulation, industrialisation, and downgrading property values, the neighbourhood around the former station shows traits of extreme poverty and deprivation while becoming a hub for both legal and illegal immigration.
Today, the previously disused former station has come back to life.

The tourism industry employs almost five times as many people as car manufacturing in the EU. In much of Southern Europe, it has been a lonely growth area throughout years of stagnation. But for cities such as Rome and Venice, its side effects have been gentrification, environmental degradation, and the decline of traditional trades. The pandemic leaves tourist destinations in the lurch: caught between a unique opportunity to build a more balanced relationship with tourism and the immediate p...

Nel cuore del distretto conservatore di Fatih di Istanbul, di fronte all’edificio storico di Santa Sofia (o Hagia Sophia, in turco Ayasofya), una schiera di sostenitori si raduna in attesa di ascoltare il discorso del Presidente turco Recep Tayyip Erdogan sul futuro del monumento. Sul profilo dell’ex-cattedrale millenaria, le bandiere turche sventolate dalla folla si confondono con quelle raffiguranti lo stemma dell’antico Impero ottomano: simbolo che, in accordo con la nuova visi...

As the coronavirus pandemic disfigures Europe, it is difficult to get prepared for what is to come.
The post-COVID-19 era might see the upsurge of forgotten ghosts that Europe thought it had put behind. Proliferating in the shadows, recidivist security threats have found fertile grounds in the chaos engendered by the pandemic.
Since the beginning of 2019, when the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) freed the north-western territories of Syria from the last pockets of the Islamic State...

Nelle più importanti università europee, in cui si forma la futura classe dirigente, l’aumento della competitività nella selezione e gli alti costi associati al conseguimento di studi universitari d’eccellenza – dalle tasse annuali al carovita in città come Zurigo, Milano, Londra o Parigi – hanno aggravato il pericolo già latente di un’esclusione sociale di massa. Il rischio è che le aule diventino salotti aristocratici in cui discutere dei problemi di una classe sociale che non p...
