Oltre il consenso: il dibattito pubblico e il coinvolgimento degli stakeholder nella partecipazione e nella valutazione dell'impatto sociale delle trasformazioni territoriali:il caso studio Certosa-Campasso. Bianchi, Cristina <1997> La presenti tesi analizza il rapporto tra partecipazione, stakeholder engagement, dibattito pubblico e valutazione dell'impatto sociale nelle trasformazioni territoriali, con l'obiettivo di comprendere come il coinvolgimento dei diversi soggetti interessati possa contribuire alla conoscenza dei bisogni locali, alla gestione dei conflitti e, in determinate condizioni, all'evoluzione delle soluzioni progettuali. La ricerca integra un approfondimento teorico con l'analisi empirica del caso Certosa-Campasso, caratterizzato dall'interazione tra una grande infrastruttura ferroviaria e un più ampio processo di trasformazione territoriale.; This thesis examines the relationship between participation, stakeholder engagement, public debate, and social impact assessment in territorial transformations, with the aim of understanding how the involvement of different stakeholders can contribute to identifying local needs, managing conflicts and, under certain conditions, influencing the development of project solutions. The research combines a theoretical analysis with an empirical examination of the Certosa-Campasso case study, characterised by the interaction between a major railway infrastructure project and a broader process of territorial transformation.

Le conseguenze del gradualismo istituzionale. La strategia di layering nelle riforme pensionistiche italiane tra sostenibilità finanziaria ed effetti redistributivi

Le conseguenze del gradualismo istituzionale. La strategia di layering nelle riforme pensionistiche italiane tra sostenibilità finanziaria ed effetti redistributivi Sorrentino, Manuela <1986> Questa tesi indaga le complesse conseguenze del gradualismo istituzionale, focalizzandosi sulla strategia del layering quale meccanismo determinante che ha guidato le riforme pensionistiche italiane negli ultimi trent'anni. Sebbene la letteratura tradizionale interpreti spesso le modifiche di policy come momenti di radicale rottura o di puro immobilismo, questa ricerca adotta una prospettiva dinamica per esplorare come le trasformazioni strutturali siano state progettate attraverso la continua accumulazione di nuove regole sopra le strutture ereditate dal passato. Radicato nell'istituzionalismo storico – attingendo alle intuizioni di Paul Pierson sulla politica del taglio al welfare e ai contributi di studiosi quali David Natali e Igor Guardiancich – lo studio esamina come i decisori politici abbiano sistematicamente utilizzato il layering per governare transizioni macroeconomiche e punti di veto. L'analisi dimostra come questo percorso incrementale abbia raggiunto la sostenibilità finanziaria, trasferendo i rischi dallo Stato ai contribuenti tramite la transizione al sistema contributivo e la promozione dei pilastri complementari. Tuttavia, il nucleo della dissertazione evidenzia i profondi compromessi redistributivi prodotti da questa strategia. Tracciando l'impatto cumulativo degli interventi legislativi – dalle riforme Amato e Dini fino alla Fornero e ai successivi interventi – i risultati rivelano l'apertura di un divario di protezione. Le coorti più giovani, i lavoratori atipici e le carriere discontinue subiscono l'onere maggiore, affrontando prestazioni penalizzate che compromettono l'adeguatezza sociale. Infine, la tesi contribuisce al dibattito sui modelli sociali europei mostrando come la resilienza politica ottenuta tramite il layering possa compromettere l'equità intergenerazionale.; This thesis investigates the complex consequences of institutional gradualism, focusing on the strategy of layering as the defining mechanism of Italian pension reforms over the past three decades. While the traditional literature often interprets policy adjustments either as radical overhauls or sheer immobilism, this research adopts a dynamic perspective to explore how structural transformations have been engineered through the continuous accumulation of new rules over legacy arrangements. Grounded in historical-institutionalist frameworks—drawing on Paul Pierson’s insights into welfare retrenchment alongside scholars such as David Natali and Igor Guardiancich—the study examines how policymakers systematically utilized institutional layering to manage macroeconomic challenges and veto points. The analysis demonstrates how this incremental path achieved fiscal sustainability by shifting financial risks from the State onto individual contributors through the transition to a defined-contribution model and private pillars. However, the core of the dissertation exposes the deep redistributive trade-offs produced by this strategy. By tracing the cumulative impact of legislative interventions from the Amato and Dini reforms up to the Fornero overhaul and subsequent adjustments, the findings reveal a growing protection gap. Younger cohorts, non-standard workers, and those with discontinuous careers bear the heaviest burden, facing heavily penalized entitlements that undermine social adequacy. Ultimately, the thesis contributes to the debate on European social models by showing how political resilience achieved via layering can gravely compromise intergenerational equity.

" Persistenza dei conflitti e stabilizzazione dei confini: spiegare gli esiti divergenti dei confini in Medio Oriente"

" Persistenza dei conflitti e stabilizzazione dei confini: spiegare gli esiti divergenti dei confini in Medio Oriente" Yacoub , Kamar <1998> This thesis examines why contested borders within the Middle East produce divergent security outcomes. While territorial disputes across the region share a broader historical and regional context, their contemporary trajectories vary considerably. Through a qualitative comparative analysis of the Israel–Lebanon, Israel–Syria, Jordan–Israel, and Iran–Iraq borders, the study compares four outcomes: persistent militarization, frozen hostility, cold peace and border stabilization, and post-conflict normalization. The analysis focuses on five interrelated factors: state capacity and territorial control, strategic interests, the presence of non-state armed actors, external mediation, and geographical and environmental conditions. Drawing on academic literature, international agreements, institutional reports, historical sources, and cartographic materials, the thesis approaches borders not simply as political lines but as territorial spaces whose security dynamics are shaped by the interaction of political authority and geography. The comparative analysis demonstrates that territorial contestation alone does not account for divergent border outcomes. More stable outcomes are associated with effective state authority, institutionalized mechanisms of border management, and the capacity to incorporate strategic and geographical issues into negotiated interstate arrangements. Conversely, persistent militarization is associated with fragmented territorial authority, competing military structures, unresolved territorial questions, and geographical conditions that acquire strategic significance within broader security conflicts. The thesis therefore argues that geography does not determine conflict or stabilization independently; rather, its effects depend on the political and institutional arrangements through which territory, resources, and border spaces are controlled and governed.; This thesis examines why contested borders within the Middle East produce divergent security outcomes.

"Resource War" - Competizione per le risorse idriche: conflitto, sicurezza ambientale e governance internazionale Balestrini, Corinna <2001> Questo elaborato offre un’analisi approfondita della competizione per le risorse idriche, esaminando i conflitti legati al loro controllo e alla loro gestione nell’ambito della sicurezza ambientale e della diplomazia internazionale. Partendo dall’evoluzione del concetto di guerra e scarsità ambientale, la tesi esplora l’idro-politica e l’importanza strategica dell’acqua nelle relazioni internazionali. Attraverso un’analisi comparata di tre casi studio cruciali, i bacini transfrontalieri del fiume Giordano, del fiume Nilo e del lago Ciad, la ricerca evidenzia come le tensioni tra stati upstream e downstream siano aggravate dal controllo delle infrastrutture idriche e ulteriormente dai cambiamenti climatici, i quali agiscono da threat multiplier. L’analisi della governance globale e dei trattati esistenti dimostra infine l’insufficienza degli attuali accordi bilaterali e multilaterali, sottolineando la necessità improrogabile di avviare processi negoziali internazionali inclusivi e legalmente vincolanti per garantire una gestione equa e condivisa delle risorse idriche globali.; This thesis offers an in-depth analysis of competition for water resources, examining conflicts relating to their control and management within the context of environmental security and international diplomacy. Starting from the evolution of the concept of war and environmental scarcity, the thesis explores hydropolitics and the strategic importance of water in international relations. Through a comparative analysis of three key case studies, the transboundary basins of the Jordan River, the Nile River and Lake Chad, the research highlights how tensions between upstream and downstream states are exacerbated by control over water infrastructure and, furthermore, by climate change, which acts as a threat multiplier. Finally, an analysis of global governance and existing treaties demonstrates the inadequacy of current bilateral and multilateral agreements, emphasising the urgent need to launch inclusive and legally binding international negotiation processes to ensure the equitable and shared management of global water resources.
