Handbook Of Research On Negotiation
Cheltenham: E. Elgar,
This Handbook combines a review of negotiation research with state-of-the-art commentary on the future of negotiation theory and research. Leading international scholars give insight into both the factors known to shape negotiation and the questions that we need to answer as we strive to deepen our understanding of the negotiation process. This Handbook provides analyses of the negotiation process from four distinct perspectives: negotiators’ cognition and emotion, social processes and social inferences, communication processes, and complex negotiations, covering trade, peace, environment, and crisis negotiations.

The Oxford Handbook of International Relations
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2010
The Oxford Handbook of International Relations offers the most authoritative and comprehensive overview to date of the field of international relations. Arguably the most impressive collection of international relations scholars ever brought together within one volume, the Handbook debates the nature of the field itself, critically engages with the major theories, surveys a wide spectrum of methods, addresses the relationship between scholarship and policy making, and examines the field's relation with cognate disciplines. The Handbook takes as its central themes the interaction between empirical and normative inquiry that permeates all theorizing in the field and the way in which contending approaches have shaped one another. In doing so, it provides an authoritative and critical introduction to the subject and establishes a sense of the field as a dynamic realm of argument and inquiry. The Oxford Handbook of International Relations will be essential reading for all of those interested in the advanced study of global politics and international affairs. (da sito OUP)

The Oxford Handbook of Local and Regional Democracy in Europe
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2010
The Oxford Handbook of Local and Regional Democracy in Europe analyses the state of play of democracy at the subnational level in the 27 member states of the EU plus Norway and Switzerland. It places subnational democracy in the context of the distinctive Anglo, the French, the German and Scandinavian state traditions in Europe asking to what extent these are still relevant today. The Handbook adapts Lijphart's theory of democracy and applies it to the subnational levels in all the country chapters. A key theoretical issue is whether subnational (regional and local) democracy is derived from national democracy or whether it is legitimate in its own right. Besides these theoretical concerns it focuses on the practice of democracy: the roles of political parties and interest groups and also how subnational political institutions relate to the ordinary citizen. This can take the form of local referendums or other mechanisms of participation. The Handbook reveals a wide variety of practices across Europe in this regard. Local financial systems also reveal a great variety. Finally, each chapter examines the challenges facing subnational democracy but also the opportunities available to them to enhance their democratic systems. Among the challenges identified are: Europeanization, globalization, but also citizens disaffection and switch-off from politics. Some countries have confronted these challenges more successfully than others but all countries face them. An important aspect of the Handbook is the inclusion of all the countries of East and Central Europe plus Cyprus and Malta, who joined the EU in 2004 and 2007. This is the first time they have been examined alongside the countries of Western Europe from the angle of subnational democracy.(da sito OUP)

The Oxford Handbook of Modern Diplomacy
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2013
At a time when diplomatic practices and the demands imposed on diplomats are changing quite radically, and many foreign ministries feel they are being left behind, there is a need to understand the various forces that are affecting the profession. Diplomacy remains a salient activity in today's world in which the basic authoritative actor is still the state. At the same time, in some respects the practice of diplomacy is undergoing significant, even radical, changes to the context, tools, actors and domain of the trade. These changes spring from the changing nature of the state, the changing nature of the world order, and the interplay between them. One way of describing this is to say that we are seeing increased interaction between two forms of diplomacy, club diplomacy and network diplomacy. The former is based on a small number of players, a highly hierarchical structure, based largely on written communication and on low transparency; the latter is based on a much larger number of players (particularly of civil society), a flatter structure, a more significant oral component, and greater transparency.
The Oxford Handbook of Modern Diplomacy is an authoritative reference tool for those studying and practicing modern diplomacy. It provides an up-to-date compendium of the latest developments in the field. Written by practitioners and scholars, the Handbook describes the elements of constancy and continuity and the changes that are affecting diplomacy. The Handbook goes further and gives insight to where the profession is headed in the future. Co-edited by three distinguished academics and former practitioners, the Handbook provides comprehensive analysis and description of the state of diplomacy in the 21st Century and is an essential resource for diplomats, practitioners and academics.(da sito OUP)

The Oxford Handbook of National Security Intelligence
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2010
he Oxford Handbook of National Security Inteligence is a state-of-the-art work on intelligence and national security. Edited by Loch Johnson, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, the Handbook examines the topic in full, beginning with an examination of the major theories of intelligence. It then shifts its focus to how intelligence agencies operate, how they collect information from around the world, the problems that come with transforming raw information into credible analysis, and the difficulties in disseminating intelligence to policymakers. It also considers the balance between secrecy and public accountability, and the ethical dilemmas that covert and counterintelligence operations routinely present to intelligence agencies. Throughout, contributors factor in broader historical and political contexts that are integral to understanding how intelligence agencies function in our information-dominated age. The book is organized into the following sections: theories and methods of intelligence studies; historical background; the collection and processing of intelligence; the analysis and production of intelligence; the challenges of intelligence dissemination; counterintelligence and counterterrorism; covert action; intelligence and accountability; and strategic intelligence in other nations.(da sito OUP)

The Oxford Handbook of Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015
The book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary account of the scholarship on religion, conflict, and peacebuilding. Extending the scope of inquiry beyond previous parameters, the volume engages deeply with the legacies of colonialism, missionary activism, secularism, orientalism, and liberalism as they relate to the discussion of religion, violence, and nonviolent transformation and resistance.
Featuring diverse case studies from various contexts and traditions, the volume is organized thematically into five different parts. It begins with an up-to-date mapping of scholarship on religion and violence, and religion and peace. The second part explores the challenges related to developing secularist theories on peace and nationalism. In addition, this section broadens the discussion of violence to include an analysis of cultural and structural forms, thereby expanding the scope of potential scholarship pertinent to the analysis of religion. The third part engages with the controversies within religion and development, religious-violent and nonviolent-militancy, religion and the legitimate use of force, the protection of the freedom of religion as a keystone of peacebuilding, and theories about gender and peacebuilding. The fourth part highlights peacebuilding in practice by focusing on constructive resources within various traditions, the transformative role of rituals, spiritual practices involved in the formation of peace-builders in contexts of acute violence, youth and interfaith activism in American university campuses, religion and solidarity activism, scriptural reasoning as a peacebuilding practice, and an extended reflection on the history and legacy of missionary peacebuilding. The conclusion looks to the future of peacebuilding scholarship and the possibilities for new growth and progress.
Bringing together a diverse array of scholars, this innovative Handbook grapples with the tension between theory and practice, cultural theory, and the legacy of the liberal peace paradigm, offering provocative, elastic, and context-specific insights for strategic peacebuilding processes.

The Oxford Handbook of the European Union
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2012
This is an authoritative, one-volume, and independent treatment of the history, functioning and nature of the European integration. Written by a selection of leading scholars. It covers the major institutions, policies, and events in the history of integration, whilst also providing a guide to the major theoretical approaches that have been used to study it over time. By bringing together such a distinguished cast covering such a wide array of themes, the Handbook is intended as a one stop shop for all those interested in the European Union and its predecessors. Written in an accessible style, the volume is intended to shape the discipline of EU studies, and to establish itself as the essential point of reference for all those interested in European integration, both in universities and more broadly. It represents a timely guide to an institution that is much discussed but often only imperfectly understood.(da sito OUP)

The Oxford Handbook of the Politics of International Migration
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2012
In The Oxford Handbook of the Politics of International Migration, leading migration experts Marc Rosenblum and Daniel Tichenor gather together 29 field specialists in an authoritative volume on the issue. Integrating the perspectives of the wide variety of fields that hold a stake in the study of migration-political science, sociology, economics, anthropology-this book presents an unprecedented interdisciplinary look at an issue that defines the modern era: the large-scale movement of people across international borders.
The volume begins with three chapters analyzing the origins and causes of migration, including both source and destination states. The second section then asks: what are the consequences of migration at both ends of the migration chain? Chapters in this section consider economics, the effects of migration on parties and political participation, and social and cultural effects. A third group of chapters focuses on immigration policy. These include primers on the history and dimensions of migration policy, as well as examinations of the effects of public opinion, interest groups, and international relations on policymaking. The volume then considers aspects of the immigrant experience: segmented assimilation among Asian Americans, histories of U.S. immigrant incorporation and of race and migration, transnationalism, and gendered aspects of migration. Finally, five chapters examine contemporary issues, including transborder crime and terrorism, migration and organized labor, international regionalism, normative debates about citizenship and immigration, and the recent history of U.S. immigration policymaking.
Covering the major questions and challenges related to the issue, The Oxford Handbook of the Politics of International Migration is a comprehensive resource for students, scholars, and policy experts alike.(da sito OUP)

The Oxford Handbook of War
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2012
The Oxford Handbook of War is the definitive analysis of war in the twenty-first century. With over forty senior authors from academia, government and the armed forces world-wide the Handbook explores the history, theory, ethics and practice of war. The Handbook first considers the fundamental causes of war, before reflecting on the moral and legal aspects of war. Theories on the practice of war lead into an analysis of the strategic conduct of war and non Western ways of war. The heart of the Handbook is a compelling analysis of the military conduct of war which is juxtaposed with consideration of technology, economy, industry, and war. In conclusion the volume looks to the future of this apparently perennial feature of human interaction.(da sito OUP)

The Oxford Handbook on The World Trade Organization
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2012
The Oxford Handbook on the World Trade Organization provides an authoritative and cutting-edge account of the World Trade Organization. Its purpose is to provide a holistic understanding of what the WTO does, how it goes about fulfilling its tasks, its achievements and problems, and how it might contend with some critical challenges. The Handbook benefits from an interdisciplinary approach. The editorial team comprises a transatlantic partnership between a political scientist, a historian, and an economist. The distinguished and international team of contributors to the volume includes leading political scientists, historians, economists, lawyers, and practitioners working in the area of multilateral trade. All the chapters present original and state-of-the-art research material. They critically engage with existing academic and policy debates, and also contribute to the evolution of the field by setting the agenda for current and future WTO studies.The Handbook is aimed at research institutions, university academics, post-graduate students, and final-year undergraduates working in the areas of international organization, trade policy and negotiations, global economic governance, and economic diplomacy. As such, it should find an enthusiastic readership amongst students and scholars in History, Economics, Political Science, International Relations, Public Policy, and Law. Equally important, the book should have direct relevance for diplomats, international bureaucrats, government officials, and other policy-makers and practitioners in the area of trade and economic governance.

‘This timely book, with carefully selected contributions from many eminent international law scholars and practitioners, offers a rich theoretical as well as practical approach to understanding contemporary international organizations, especially in light of increased emphasis on issues of reform, constitutionalism and globalization. It speaks to key issues in the field with erudition and clarity. Among the issues comprehensively discussed are: personality, privileges and immunities, responsibility, decision-making procedures and dissolution and succession of international organizations. This book will be of great utility not only to international organizations and their staff, but also to academics, policy makers and those concerned with the very important and specialized field of international organizations law.’

Atlante dell'Italia nel Mediterraneo
Roma: Carocci, 2008
Secondo la tradizione mitologica, il labirinto era l’edificio progettato da Dedalo su incarico del re di Creta, Minosse, per rinchiudervi un essere mostruoso e feroce, il Minotauro. Era stato concepito come un intricato succedersi di percorsi la cui complessità impediva, a chi vi si fosse avventurato, di trovare la via d’uscita. Ed è proprio l’immagine del labirinto che oggi sembra più adatta a descrivere l’area mediterranea: uno spazio altamente complesso nel quale si intrecciano i diversi percorsi delle popolazioni che vivono sulle sponde dei tre continenti che si affacciano su questo mare. Intento del volume è di esporre in modo chiaro e sintetico il ruolo assunto dal nostro paese nei vari piani tematici – ambientale, politico, economico, istituzionale e culturale – che contribuiscono a delineare la mappa del labirinto mediterraneo e l’apporto che l’Italia può offrire al superamento degli attuali problemi ambientali, sociali e politici della regione.

Che cos'è la geopolitica
(Bussole)
Roma: Carocci, 2011
Quando nasce il termine geopolitica? In quali accezioni è stato utilizzato? Perché molti studiosi lo considerano con sospetto? Quali insidie può nascondere? Perché negli ultimi tempi la parola è al centro del dibattito politico? Che cosa si intende con geopolitica critica? Nel rispondere a queste domande, il testo descrive l’evoluzione del pensiero geopolitico, soffermandosi in particolare sul ruolo internazionale degli Stati Uniti, sull’Europa e sulle sfide della globalizzazione.

La cooperazione internazionale allo sviluppo
(Farsi un'idea)
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2006
Nel mondo una persona su quattro vive oggi con meno di un dollaro al giorno. Povertà non è solo mancanza di reddito, ma anche di salute, istruzione e partecipazione alla vita sociale. Questa situazione drammatica rende la promozione dello sviluppo una priorità imprescindibile per la comunità internazionale, non solo per ragioni etiche, ma anche per garantire la stabilità politica ed economica globale. Nel volume, dopo una breve ricostruzione delle varie fasi della politica di cooperazione, si indagano - anche attraverso casi di successo e di insuccesso - le politiche messe in atto dai paesi sviluppati, che non vanno confuse con la semplice assistenza umanitaria ma che richiedono impegno e responsabilità anche da parte dei paesi beneficiari. Ci si sofferma infine sull'atteggiamento dell'Italia, una presenza significativa nello stanziamento di fondi ma che potrebbe fare meglio e di più.

Extremism
(The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series)
Cambridge; London: MIT press, 2018
What extremism is, how extremist ideologies are constructed, and why extremism can escalate into violence. A rising tide of extremist movements threaten to destabilize civil societies around the globe. It has never been more important to understand extremism, yet the dictionary definition—a logical starting point in a search for understanding—tells us only that extremism is “the quality or state of being extreme.” In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, J. M. Berger offers a nuanced introduction to extremist movements, explaining what extremism is, how extremist ideologies are constructed, and why extremism can escalate into violence. Berger shows that although the ideological content of extremist movements varies widely, there are common structural elements. Berger, an expert on extremist movements and terrorism, explains that extremism arises from a perception of “us versus them,” intensified by the conviction that the success of “us” is inseparable from hostile acts against “them.” Extremism differs from ordinary unpleasantness—run-of-the-mill hatred and racism—by its sweeping rationalization of an insistence on violence. Berger illustrates his argument with case studies and examples from around the world and throughout history, from the destruction of Carthage by the Romans—often called “the first genocide”—to the apocalyptic jihadism of Al Qaeda, America's new “alt-right,” and the anti-Semitic conspiracy tract The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He describes the evolution of identity movements, individual and group radicalization, and more. If we understand the causes of extremism, and the common elements of extremist movements, Berger says, we will be more effective in countering it. (da sito editore)

Geopolitica dell'America Centrale: le inquietudini, l'eredità, il futuro
(Geografia Turismo Cultura)
Bologna: Archetipolibri, 2010
Il tempo delle guerriglie è forse concluso, ma la gente centroamericana ha ancora fame di benessere, oltre che di pace. Dallo stato settentrionale del Guatemala a quello meridionale di Panama, i paesi dell’istmo sono ancora lontani dal trovare concordia e pace sociale, lontanissimi dal trovare benessere per tutti i propri abitanti. L’inquietudine ha origini antiche, radicate nella tradizionale distanza tra le diverse classi sociali, confermate nei secoli della colonizzazione spagnola e non superate dagli anni dell’indipendenza e della parziale modernizzazione. Lo strapotere delle oligarchie non ha consentito che venissero definiti dei terreni di confronto istituzionale e spesso ha trasformato lo Stato in uno strumento di controllo e dominio. Incombono su tutta la regione la vicinanza e gli interessi economico-strategici della maggiore potenza mondiale, gli Stati Uniti. Aggravano la debolezza politica e sociale dell’intero territorio le sue divisioni interne: tra stato e stato, tra classi sociali, tra etnie. Spesso il folklore nasconde, in parte, la povertà e la segregazione presenti ovunque. (Da sito Clueb)

Geopolitiche dell'arte: arte e critica d'arte italiana nel contesto internazionale, dalle neo avanguardie ad oggi
Milano: Marinotti, 2012
La storia postbellica dell’arte italiana è profondamente segnata dagli equilibri geopolitici e culturali della guerra fredda, e da quello che potremmo chiamare il marketing delle identità locali. Come confrontarsi con una tradizione illustre, la propria, se si appartiene a una nazione che si scopre bruscamente periferica? E come ripristinare dialoghi cosmopoliti dopo decenni di isolamento? La “mutazione” si compie tra gli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta del Novecento: se un artista come Fontana rimane fedele a un mondo la cui capitale è Parigi, e il cui faro indiscusso è Picasso, Manzoni apre a geografie artistiche transatlantiche. Intende la citazione non come mera ripetizione o gioco culturale, ma come pratica distorsiva, satirica e fantastica. “Plagio” e “furto” iconografico, ai suoi occhi, sono modi attraverso cui la Periferia può tornare a parlare di sé e modificare gli svantaggiosi rapporti che la legano al Centro egemonico. I processi di “modernizzazione” culturale introducono, in Italia, l’insidia della subalternità e, per contro, dell’irriflessivo corteggiamento dell’Antico. Negli artisti che oggi ci sembrano più rilevanti la dimensione “internazionale” coabita con fantasmi storico-artistici e eco di illustre tradizione. Al tempo stesso evocazioni e “messe in scena” dell’Antico sono pienamente comprensibili solo in chiave modernista: come allegorie artistiche contemporanee allestite sullo sfondo della scena sociale di un Paese connotato da brusche amnesie, rovinose impasse e conflitti sanguinosi. Critici e curatori qualificati partecipano a pieno titolo al negoziato tra culture artistiche e comunità economiche e politiche. Si tratta pur sempre di destare un’idea di Paese, ritrovarla in questo o quell’artista e rilanciare sul piano sovranazionale. Mostre e interpretazioni modellano fantasie comunitarie e progetti di identità cui gli artisti corrispondono (o cercano di sottrarsi) nei modi più diversi, con repliche figurate e tecniche congeniali.

La giustizia penale internazionale
(Farsi un'idea)
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2005
Deportazioni, torture, pulizia etnica, esecuzioni di massa: solo nel XX secolo la comunità internazionale ha progressivamente elaborato norme per affermare che certi comportamenti sono crimini e per disporre la punizione dei responsabili. Con il trattato di Roma del 1998, che ha istituito la Corte penale internazionale (Cpi), è sorta la speranza che un tribunale permanente possa punire gli autori di questi crimini gravissimi. L’autore del volume illustra tutto il percorso che, a partire dal processo di Norimberga, ha condotto al passaggio da una logica di emergenza alla istituzionalizzazione della giustizia penale internazionale. Si sofferma poi sul ruolo della Cpi, che interverrà ogniqualvolta i giudici nazionali non siano in grado o non vogliano punire i responsabili di crimini internazionali. Non tutti gli Stati ne hanno ancora accettato la competenza, ma certo è che rimanerne fuori significa sfidare il progresso dell’umanità e il rafforzamento degli strumenti di tutela dei diritti fondamentali.(da sito Il Mulino)

Le Nazioni Unite: sviluppo e riforma del sistema di sicurezza collettiva
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2010
Nel 1945, in un mondo ancora sconvolto dal secondo conflitto mondiale, nasceva l'Organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite, uno dei progetti politici più ambiziosi della storia. Nella sua Carta venivano fissati i princìpi di una nuova convivenza internazionale basata sulla messa al bando della guerra. A questa istituzione era inoltre attribuito il compito di mantenere la pace e la sicurezza. Oggi, dopo la fine della guerra fredda, dopo i drammatici avvenimenti dell'11 settembre, gli interventi in Afghanistan e Iraq, ma anche dopo le nuove sfide poste dalla crisi finanziaria o dalla gestione dei disastri naturali, cosa resta dell'Onu rispetto a quel progetto originario? Questo volume traccia un profilo e un bilancio dell'Onu e delle sue riforme, da quelle attuate a quelle mancate. (Da sito Il Mulino)

Prima lezione di diritto globale
(Universale Laterza. Prime lezioni)
Roma; Bari: Laterza, 2012
Lo scenario globale rivela un mondo di relazioni giuridiche variegate e plurali, di 'fonti' moltiplicate e riprodotte in imitazioni, di soggetti giuridici attivi, di re-invenzioni dello spazio e degli scambi. Manca una primadonna assoluta, come era stata la legislazione, e si sommano tratti tradizionali e novità, vecchi linguaggi e nuovi termini, rigetti del passato prossimo e ritorni al passato remoto, come in un quadro fiammingo denso di colori e personaggi che affollano la scena. Nonostante il disordine, i sistemi comunicano e spesso dialogano, e abbozzi di diritto globale annunciano un nuovo corso giuridico. (Da sito Laterza)

La tutela internazionale dei diritti umani
(Farsi un'idea)
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2011
Affermati nel 1945 dalla Dichiarazione universale e difesi dalla Comunità internazionale i diritti umani sono proclamati e violati, celebrati e calpestati ogni giorno. Questo libro offre una guida per districarsi tra i meccanismi di garanzia - dall'Onu alla Corte europea, alla Commissione africana - segnalandone i punti di forza e le debolezze. Nel Ventesimo secolo sono state gettate le basi normative per la tutela internazionale dei diritti umani; la sfida del Ventunesimo secolo è dare più concretezza ai diritti in tutte le regioni del mondo cercando di rendere gli Stati davvero responsabili della protezione della dignità umana.(da sito Il Mulino)

Sorto nel 1995 per governare e sviluppare il commercio internazionale il Wto è stato il principale bersaglio della protesta no global, ma ha saputo dimostrate tutta la sua efficacia mantenendo i mercati mondiali aperti durante una delle più gravi crisi finanziarie degli ultimi decenni. Ma come funziona realmente il Wto? Oltre a fornire un profilo complessivo di questa importante istituzione il volume, ripresentato in edizione aggiornata, discute costi e benefici di una politica commerciale non protezionistica, illustra le richieste avanzate dai paesi poveri e dalle Ong, spiega lo stallo del round di Doha e la crescita degli accordi commerciali conclusi al di fuori del Wto. Un quadro che evidenzia anche i rischi e i pericoli di una sua perdita di rilevanza sulla scena internazionale.(da sito Il Mulino)
