Partendo dalla rilettura di alcuni testi di Massimo Quaini, e in particolare da Dopo la geografia, in questo contributo si propongono alcune riflessioni critiche sul rapporto tra geografia italiana e marxismo, e sull'esperienza di Geografia democratica e Herodote-Italia. Si riflette in primo luogo sulle sorprendenti analogie tra questa geografia e la geografia radicale in lingua inglese di quegli anni, così come sulle differenze, ovvero il tentativo dei geografi democratici di conciliare teoria marxista e "inchiesta sul terreno", e l'incapacità di promuovere una rifondazione complessiva della geografia italiana. In secondo luogo si discute dell'incontro tra Geografia democratica e Michel Foucault, ovvero di quella che è stata a mio avviso un'occasione cruciale ma per gran parte mancata, nel quadro dei rapporti problematici che la geografia italiana ha avuto e ha con la successiva "svolta culturale" e con la geografia critica contemporanea. Su questa base, si riflette sull'eredità straordinaria che Massimo Quaini e quella stagione hanno consegnato alle generazioni successive, e sulla sua problematica attualità.

This book looks both backward and forward with regard to the European Union's political strategies towards its neighbouring countries. By bringing together the perspectives of critical geopolitics, policy studies and border studies, it presents a comprehensive review of the European Neighbourhood Policy and how it impacts the ongoing construction of the EU's external frontiers. Is the EU committed to promoting integration in a 'wider' European space, or is a "fortress Europe" emerging where the strengthening of internal cohesion is coupled with the militarisation of its external borders? The book aims to problematize this question by showing how the EU's external policies are based on a mixture of openness and closure, inclusion and exclusion, cooperation and securitisation. The European Neighbourhood Policy is a controversial strategy where regionalization and bordering, homogenisations and differentiations, centrifugal and centripetal forces proceed side-by-side, in an explicit attempt to construct a selective, mobile and fragmented border. A specific focus is devoted to the diversity of geo-strategies the EU is pursuing in its neighbouring countries and regions, macro-regional strategies and cross-border cooperation initiatives as new scales of cooperation, and the role of other global players

Cet article présente les résultats d'un projet de recherche visant à identifier, de manière exhaustive et dans une perspective de comparaison, les quartiers ou les zones urbaines présentant la plus forte concentration d'immigrés dans un certain nombre de pays européens. Dans cette optique, nous discutons dans une première partie de la pertinence des modèles de localisation des immigrés et de ce que l'on appelle les « enclaves ethniques », afin de comprendre à la fois la migration et les villes contemporaines. Nous décrivons ensuite les principaux défis méthodologiques liés à l'identification de ces « enclaves ethniques » et la manière dont ces questions sont abordées dans le cadre de ce projet. Enfin, dans une troisième et dernière partie, nous présentons les résultats de l'étude, à savoir la localisation et la composition sociodémographique des principaux quartiers multiethniques en France, en Allemagne, en Italie, en Espagne et au Royaume-Uni 1 .
