LIBRI DI GIOVANNI BERTIN

Uno dei problemi che coinvolgono oggi le società occidentali è come permettere più differenziazione sociale, assicurando al contempo una maggiore integrazione sociale. I concetti di innovazione sociale e di sussidiarietà rappresentano due chiavi di volta per affrontare e sciogliere il dilemma. Partendo da questa idea condivisa, gli autori approfondiscono l’analisi dei concetti, presentano esempi della loro applicazione a livello locale e offrono suggerimenti per la loro implementazione.

L’aumento dei casi di usura così come la diffusione del riciclaggio di denaro sporco, insieme all’accresciuta diffusione di prodotti contraffatti costituiscono evidenze degli effetti della crisi del sistema socioeconomico. L’ipotesi sulla quale ha lavorato il gruppo di ricerca di Ca’ Foscari è che il comportamento illegale vada analizzato in una prospettiva multifattoriale, evidenziando come legalità e illegalità presentino sfaccettature e interdipendenze che non possono essere semplicemente ricondotte alle categorie morali del bene e del male.

A redefinition of welfare policies characterizes the current phase in all European countries. To prevent that this crisis could increase the already strong disparities between countries (and within individual countries) it is important to better understand what is happening, and to find a common platform for analysis and comparison. This book tries to start the discussion on these themes involving colleagues who are working to investigate this process of transformation within Europe.

The last twenty or so years have seen the end of the steady expansion of welfare states, and a movement towards more mixed systems of financing and provision. Nearly all European governments are now seeking ways to control expenditure and reduce their involvement in the delivery of services. There is growing decentralisation and territorial variation, with differences also emerging in the rationales underlying services like social security, health and personal social services. The picture is further complicated by the move away from hierarchy and bureaucracy towards "soft" governance approaches in the management of services. Such developments are placing the schemes developed by Esping-Andersen and other authors for classifying welfare states under strain, and necessitate a review of the factors and typologies used in undertaking international comparisons. This paper presents two case studies (of a Mediterranean and a liberal regime), in an attempt to highlight critical factors in current ways of classifying welfare systems.

The welfare systems have been consolidated in the second half of the last century. The transition of post modernity society has incresed the signs of the crisis and pushed for their redefinition. The current changes depend on globalitation, but also by increased local autonomy. This article has tried to take stock of the international dibate on the welfare and health sistems classification. In the second part, this article evidence the differences between regionals welfare system and propose a new classification. The regionals health systems are different from each other, and have characteristics unrelated to the regional welfare systems.

La rivisitazione della governance locale, oltre che fattore propulsivo importante e primo indicatore dell’espandersi, da territorio a territorio, del Welfare di comunità, rappresenta un crogiuolo basilare di importanti forme di integrazione: istituzionale, professionale e sociale. Analizzando i vari modelli regionali, con uno sguardo all’Europa e al contesto nazionale, il testo descrive i punti di forza e di debolezza di ogni realtà esaminata.
