Università Roma Tre

THE COURSE IS AIMED AT FAVOURING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON OF CIVIC ACTIVISM IN PUBLIC POLICY MAKING. IT IS A MATTER OF FACT THAT WHILE THIS PHENOMENON IS MORE AND MORE RELEVANT AN ADEQUATE DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE ON IT IS STILL LACKING. THIS TASK IS OF SPECIAL IMPORTANCE IN THIS CASE, SINCE ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP ORGANIZATIONS PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE WELFARE SYSTEM, BOTH IN TERMS OF PROMOTION AND MANAGEMENT OF SERVICES, AND IN TERMS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONS' STAKEHOLDERS.
