The stages and the intellectual debates/influences on European economic governance will be reconstructed in sequential terms, with particular emphasis on the documents that emerged in the most recent debate and future evolution

Masini F. 2022, European Economic Governance. Theories, Historical Evolution, and Policy Proposals, Palgrave-Macmillan + suggested readings during the course

The class investigates the conceptual arena and the room for manoeuvre of spatial policies, strongly depending upon some major drivers of change: contraction of the public sphere, alternation between development and recession, competition and globalisation dynamics and metropolisation processes.
The discussion around such issues are conducted in the classroom with the help of commented readings and seminars.
Part One addresses the conceptual definition of public policies, introducing and critically discussing the distinction between policy and politics; it stresses policy design issues to be put on the agenda, notably in the frame of general agreements on the environment on a supernational level; the coupling between problems and solutions; the nature and role of stakeholders influencing policy making in a multilevel governance framework and policy implementation, assessment and effects.
Part Two explores a wide array of regeneration policies and practices in the European contexts, that pay increasing attention to the quality of life at local level by intertwining affordable housing, local development and community empowerment issues. The case of the construction of local agendas also helps revisit a wide range of Italian urban and territorial policies, notably in reference to governance issues. Environment and biodiversity take in a major role, allowing to tackle welfare and wellbeing in urban and peri-urban areas.
Part Three, that will be developed alongside the previous parts, is devoted to a practical approach to a specific case study.
On the backdrop of the challenges awaiting the Municipality of Rome (Roma Capitale), the pilot will be that will be developed alongside the previous parts, is devoted to a practical approach to a specific case study.
Current trends in urban planning prompt small scale urban design to encompass sustainable development models and practices rooted in ecological transition.
The most recent European policies acknowledge the greenways and the “Green Infrastructure” as parts of strategic networks able to link different spaces: urban fringes, suburbs, agricultural and natural landscapes often neglected.
The Pietralata district, daily horizon for around 30,000 residents, lies under different planning tools (Municipal Master Plan, Landscape Plan, Tiber River Basin Plan, Regional Reserve of the Aniene River, District Plan). Dynamics of environmental fragility, fragmentation of the land use and a general loss of “sense of place” characterize the area of the Aniene, whose resilience has to be recovered.
Ongoing programs run by the City Council (the expected new Stadium, the ongoing Technopole innovation ecosystem supported by PNRR funds) are likely to radically worsen their quality of life without resolving previous cruciality: urban decay, neglect of open space, traffic congestion, poor accessibility and mobility within the area.
The Green Infrastructure approach (European Commission, 2011), in reversing the figure-ground ratio, offers to Pietralata the opportunity to connect open space fragments different in size and feature, while providing manifold environmental and social benefits (entries space and species).

The course is divided into two modules, aimed at allowing students to learn both the general foundations of microeconomic theory and the application of these fundamentals to a broad field such as cultural production and consumption. In the first module, students will be introduced to the main concepts of microeconomics, with a focus on the analysis of demand and supply in art, culture, and entertainment, considering the major artistic and cultural sectors from an economic perspective. Specific sectors will then be analyzed.

The course offers an interpretative-methodological framework to the transport-territory economic relationship, based on the assumption that the transport system is a pre-requisite for the development of industrial and tourist activities. With this in mind, the course deals with the problems that arise in the study of the four main modes of transport, with the further objective of outlining the theoretical state of the art of this research field.

In more detail, the following topics are discussed: 1) Transport historical and geographical dimension - (Economy and transport in the twentieth century; The global development of transport; Congestion: consequence of the imbalance between modes); 2) Transport regulations - (Community legislation, Italian legislation, transport infrastructure as a natural monopoly, regulation of the infrastructure market as an agency problem, the natural monopoly structure, deliberative democracy and transport regulation); 3) Costs of transport systems - (opportunity costs, shadow prices, sunk costs, external costs, classification of transport costs, trends in transport costs, joint costs and associated costs in the provision of transport services; General cost of transport, costs of transport safety); 4) The analysis of the infrastructural supply - (Economic nature of the transport infrastructures; Infrastructural equipment: concept and purpose; The transport networks; Network economics; Infrastructure capacity analysis); 5) The maritime transport system - (The maritime transport market, The containerized maritime transport, The capacity of a port infrastructure, The analysis of port competitiveness, The operational costs of the maritime transport service, Perspectives of development of the Italian and European port); 6)

The course is divided into two parts. The first part analyzes democratic theories, elections, the referendum institution and the role of the mass media in the democratic process. The second part focuses on the dynamics of the models of “deliberative democracy” and “e-democracy”, and explains how new forms of political participation through the web are being reconfigured in the global world.

The course is developed in three parts: an institutional module, an in-depth module; seminars and meetings with the protagonists.
The institutional module aims to provide the basic concepts and the theoretical framework of the sociological work and organizational disciplines and to analyze the interconnections with other disciplines which have as their object the study of work, production organizations, human resource management and industrial relations.
There will be an in-depth analysis of the change of work in the world, in relation to the development of innovative organizational and managerial cultures, with particular attention to the aspects related to the constant demand for an increase in flexibility and productivity and the strategic importance assumed of soft and transversal skills in the new production processes.
The in-depth module, instead, aims to analyze the concepts and evolution of the negotiation and industrial relations in Italy and on an international level:
1. The transformations of work from a sociological point of view and the conceptual framework relative to the evolution of organizational models and cultures: from Taylor-Fordism to Total Quality Management and networking organizations;
2. The evolution of human resource management policies and tools in search of a new paradigm of reference: the person at the center of the processes;
3. Leadership and management of social-organizational processes in innovative enterprises and virtuous Public Administrations: The Strategic Role of Communication and Lifelong Learning;
4. The development of industrial relations in Italy: the sociological dimension of the economic, legal and institutional framework; the actors of industrial relations; the evolution of collective bargaining; industrial relations and participatory model; labour relations in Public Administrations.
In the final part of the course, seminars will be organized with the protagonists (corporate executives and managers of organization and development of human resources, representatives of trade unions) on issues of organization, training and development of skills, negotiation and regulation of employment relationships in innovative companies and virtuous public administrations.
