Special Issue

The "special" issue collects the suggestion coming from the users of the Bulletin, with regards to relevant articles published in journals that the Bulletin does not cover, or earlier than 2004. It will be updated at each new issue of the Bulletin, allowing the search in the archive of the Bulletin to access an ever-growing bibliography. It is the instrument to make the Bulletin not just a service provided by the Centre for Studies on Federalism, but an instrument for and of the international academic community, which can actively contribute to its development, by sending suggestions to the editorial coordinator at castaldi@csfederalismo.it.

Europe or Not! Multiple Conversations and Voices With Alberto Martinelli, Vittorio Cotesta, Nadia Urbinati and Alain Touraine

Europe is in crisis and the EU project risks disintegration. The refugee and Brexit issues, as well as recent events in Turkey, demonstrate how serious matters really are. In a EurActiv interview, in February 2016, Edgar Morin, the French sociologist and philosopher, speaks of a «planetary crisis» and the need «to change civilisation» in order to respond to the complexity of today’s world. Furthermore, the drama of terrorism, a new phenomenon for contemporary western democracies requires serious reflection regarding jihadism and its radicalisation. These are but some of the issues addressed during the multiple conversations held with the three sociologists, Alberto Martinelli, Vittorio Cotesta and Alain Touraine and with the political scientist, Nadia Urbinati. All the interviewees are leading experts on European issues and institutions, as well as on democracy put to the test currently by rampant populism in almost all the EU countries. Alain Touraine fervently holds that «it is madness» not to want a united Europe at a moment when we need a new political and economic project capable of defeating the nationalism, walls and separation between states that now seem to prevail. Europe finds itself in a dramatic position: it must choose innovation and construction, or disintegration, with all the unpredictable consequences this may entail.
