The MENA Region: A Great Power Competition. E-book. Formato EPUB Aa.Vv. - Ledizioni, 2019 -
The volume deals with competition among regional and external players for the redistribution of power and international status in the Middle East and North Africa, with a focus on Russia's renewed role and the implications for US interests. Over the last few years, a crisis of legitimacy has beset the liberal international order. In this context, the configuration of regional orders has come into question, as in the extreme case of the current collapse in the Middle East. The idea of a "Russian resurgence" in the Middle East set against a perceived American withdrawal has captured the attention of policymakers and scholars alike, warranting further examination. This volume, a joint publication by ISPI and the Atlantic Council, gathers analysis on Washington's and Moscow's policy choices in the MENA region and develops case studies of the two powers' engagament in the countries beset by major crises.
SOUTH AFRICA: The need for change. E-book. Formato EPUB Aa.Vv. - Ledizioni, 2016 -
Has the new South Africa – once an inspiring “rainbow nation” – failed the expectations it had generated? Is the country now in a crisis? Two decades after the end of the apartheid regime, Africa’s southernmost state faces multiple political, economic and social challenges. A lackluster growth performance is compounded by mounting corruption and political turbulence, as well as by the frustration of many ordinary citizens who expected much more rapid social and economic improvement. Labour strikes, student protests and anti-immigrant riots have all been on the rise. As a clear sign of increasing dissatisfaction, uncertainty and decline, the ruling African National Congress recently ran into its worst electoral result ever – if still only at local levels. Meanwhile, Jacob Zuma’s embattled presidency, marred by allegations of corruption and political cronyism, sent South Africa’s international image plummeting alongside the Rand, the national currency. This volume sheds light on the current difficulties and discusses future prospects. The “new” South Africa is a country in dire need for change.

Preziosa testimonianza di quanto il lavoro poetico e l'impegno intellettuale di Vittorio Sereni abbiano segnato profondamente il percorso letterario del nostro Novecento, e di quanto siano tuttora capaci di promuovere adesioni non effimere e riflessioni non scontate, i saggi che costituiscono questo volume ne approfondiscono la conoscenza e ne rinnovano, nel centenario della nascita, la memoria. Questa raccolta di saggi rende disponibili gli atti del convegno su Vittorio Sereni tenutosi dal 24 al 26 ottobre 2013.
