Book Elementi di diritto e geopolitica degli spazi marittimi

Download or read book Elementi di diritto e geopolitica degli spazi marittimi written by Caffio Fabio and published by Cacucci Editore S.a.s.. This book was released on 2013 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La conoscenza degli aspetti giuridici delle questioni marittime si va sempre più diffondendo in risposta ad esigenze di studio e di approfondimento derivanti da fatti di attualità che toccano interessi degli Stati, delle organizzazioni internazionali e degli individui: i soccorsi ai migranti, gli atti di pirateria, i sequestri di pescherecci, la tutela dell’ambiente marino, le contese sugli spazi marittimi, la navigazione, lo sfruttamento delle risorse biologiche e non, ne sono esempi. Rilevante è in questo scenario il ruolo svolto da tutti gli attori del cluster marittimo italiano (assai incisivo sull’economia nazionale), quali armatori, società cantieristiche, associazioni di pescatori e, non ultime, istituzioni come la Marina Militare ed il Corpo delle Capitanerie di porto-Guardia costiera. Alla Marina Militare, da decenni impegnata in operazioni oltremare di peacekeeping navale, si deve, ad esempio, la diffusione dei temi della security e della sorveglianza marittima: basti pensare che la funzione principale delle navi da guerra, tradizionalmente protese alla difesa marittima disciplinata per lo più dal diritto dei conflitti armati, è oggi largamente incentrata sulla tutela della legalità dei traffici marittimi in tempo di pace in un contesto di cooperazione internazionale fra Stati e organizzazioni internazionali a carattere universale e regionale. Alle Capitanerie di porto va reso merito di aver testimoniato coi fatti quali siano le funzioni svolte dell’«Autorità marittima» di un grande Paese come il nostro con 7.500 km di coste da proteggere e 15 milioni di tonnellate di naviglio mercantile in navigazione per il mondo. Ciascuno di tali «attori del mare», nell’àmbito di un continuo dialogo con omologhi stranieri, porta con sé interessi meritevoli di tutela sul piano giuridico, la percezione dei quali non si può tuttavia cogliere senza tenere conto della geopolitica del mare nella quale detti interessi nascono, sono coltivati e si intrecciano. Vi è, peraltro, con riferimento alla disciplina giuridica di un medesimo fenomeno marittimo, una crescente linea comune sia tra profili privatistici e pubblicistici sia tra normativa interna e internazionale (e dell’Unione europea), sol che si pensi al regime della navigazione, allo sfruttamento e alla conservazione delle risorse biologiche, alla tutela dell’ambiente e del patrimonio culturale subacqueo, alla protezione dalla minaccia della pirateria.

Book Italy as a Regional Power

Download or read book Italy as a Regional Power written by Gabriele Abbondanza and published by Aracne. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Italy’s role of regional power develop? How did it change from national unification to the present day? This book examines the degree of influence exerted by Italy in its own geopolitical context, with special focus on Libya and the Horn of Africa. With the aid of different research methods and thanks to two exclusive interviews (H.E. Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata and Gen. Vincenzo Ruggero Manca), this work traces the many stages that have characterized Italian foreign policy in its sphere of influence, its successes and its failures, from the country’s early colonial policies to the latest events. Images, graphics, maps and confidential documents further enrich the debate on one of the most ancient but controversial regional powers.

Book The Boundaries of Europe

Download or read book The Boundaries of Europe written by Pietro Rossi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe’s boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars outlines the transformation of Europe’s boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization, or the end of the explicit endeavor to “Europeanize” the world.From the decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today’s world, the essays span such aspects as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from “mare nostrum” to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia, eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration, migratory movements, cultural exchanges, and war. The Boundaries of Europe, edited by Pietro Rossi, is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe, which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.

  • ISBN : 1107604737
  • Pages : 469 pages

Download or read book The New Knighthood written by Malcolm Barber and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-26 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Order of the Temple was founded in 1119 with the limited aim of protecting pilgrims around Jerusalem. It developed into one of the most powerful corporations in the medieval world which lasted for nearly two centuries until its suppression in 1312. Despite the loss of its central archive in the sixteenth century, the Order left many records of its existence as the spearhead of crusading activity in Palestine and Syria, as the administrator of a great network of preceptories and lands in the Latin west, and as a banker and ship-owner. Because of the dramatic nature of its abolition, it has retained its grip on the imagination and consequently there has developed an entirely fictional 'after-history' in which its secret presence has been evoked to explain mysteries which range from masonic conspiracy to the survival of the Turin Shroud. This book offers a concise and up-to-date introduction to the reality and the myth of this extraordinary institution.

Book Venetian Renaissance Fortifications in the Mediterranean

Download or read book Venetian Renaissance Fortifications in the Mediterranean written by Dragoş Cosmescu and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Renaissance was a revolution of ideas, arts and sciences alike, with Italy at its center. Venice was among the first states to embrace new concepts in fortification, which would dominate military architecture for centuries. In the age of large galley fleets and an expanding Ottoman Empire, the mighty defenses of the Republic of Venice protected faraway territories in the Mediterranean, and some of the largest and best preserved Renaissance fortifications are found on the former Venetian islands. This book illustrates in detail the impressive defenses of Cyprus, Crete and Corfu, their design and their war record. Walled towns and fortresses were constructed to the latest standards of military technology, with walls capable of withstanding the largest armies and the longest sieges, including the longest in history--22 years.

Book Law Without Lawyers  Justice Without Courts

Download or read book Law Without Lawyers Justice Without Courts written by Bee Chen Goh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese have, since ancient times, professed a non-litigious outlook. Similarly, their preference for mediation has fascinated the West for centuries. Mediation has been popularized by the Chinese who subscribe to the Confucian notions of harmony and compromise. It has been perpetuated in the People's Republic of China and by the overseas Chinese communities elsewhere, such as in Malaysia and Taiwan. Seen as the chief contributing factor in their litigation-averse nature, as well as the reason behind the significant role given to traditional mediation, this compelling book traces the cultural tradition of the Chinese. It uses rural Chinese Malaysians as illustrative examples and offers new insights into the nature of mediation East and West. It is an important reference and essential resource for anyone keen to learn about traditional Chinese concepts of law, justice and dispute settlement. Equally, it makes a unique contribution to the existing ADR literature by undertaking a socio-legal study on traditional Chinese mediation.

Book Confucianism for the Modern World

Download or read book Confucianism for the Modern World written by Daniel A. Bell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-08 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Confucian ideals continue to inspire thinkers and political actors, discussions of concrete Confucian practices and institutions appropriate for the modern era have been conspicuously absent from the literature thus far. This volume represents the most cutting edge effort to spell out in meticulous detail the relevance of Confucianism for the contemporary world. The contributors to this book--internationally renowned philosophers, lawyers, historians, and social scientists--argue for feasible and desirable Confucian policies and institutions as they attempt to draw out the political, economic, and legal implications of Confucianism for the modern world.

Book Framing the Early Middle Ages

Download or read book Framing the Early Middle Ages written by Chris Wickham and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman empire tends to be seen as a whole whereas the early middle ages tends to be seen as a collection of regional histories, roughly corresponding to the land-areas of modern nation states. As a result, early medieval history is much more fragmented, and there have been few convincing syntheses of socio-economic change in the post-Roman world since the 1930s. In recent decades, the rise of early medieval archaeology has also transformed our source-base, but this has not been adequately integrated into analyses of documentary history in almost any country. In Framing the Early Middle Ages Chris Wickham combines documentary and archaeological evidence to create a comparative history of the period 400-800. His analysis embraces each of the regions of the late Roman and immediately post-Roman world, from Denmark to Egypt. The book concentrates on classic socio-economic themes, state finance, the wealth and identity of the aristocracy, estate management, peasant society, rural settlement, cities, and exchange. These give only a partial picture of the period, but they frame and explain other developments. Earlier syntheses have taken the development of a single region as 'typical', with divergent developments presented as exceptions. This book takes all different developments as typical, and aims to construct a synthesis based on a better understanding of difference and the reasons for it.
