2005/2006 ; Cette recherche se propose d'étudier la façon dont ce regard critique sur l'expansion européenne dans le monde s'est exprimé sous forme d'un savoir historique portant à la fois sur les dynamiques du phénomène colonial et sur leurs rapports à la puissance de la nation. Il ne s'agit donc pas ici d'analyser l'expansion européenne d'un point de vue économique, ni juridique, ni sociologique ou politique ; il ne s'agit pas non plus de proposer une historiographie au sens classique du terme : le but est plutôt d'étudier la construction d'un savoir – le savoir historique – dans le contexte des dynamiques caractérisant l'expansion européenne dans le monde, et d'examiner la façon dont ce savoir s'est exprimé sur ces dynamiques d'expansion elles-mêmes et sur les problèmes qu'elles posaient pour la puissance de la nation. ; La presente ricerca si propone di studiare il modo in cui questa consapevolezza critica dell'espansione europea nel Mondo si è andata progressivamente esprimendo e strutturando in un discorso storico che investiva, nel XVIII secolo, le rappresentazioni del fenomeno coloniale e le sue articolazioni con il problema della potenza nazionale. Ciò che qui si presenta non è dunque una storia economica, giuridica, sociale o politica dell'espansione europea, e neppure una storia della storiografia in senso classico, ma lo studio della genesi di un particolare tipo di sapere nell'ambito delle dinamiche di espansione europea, e del modo in cui questo sapere ha preso posizione rispetto a queste stesse dinamiche e ai problemi che esse ponevano per la definizione della potenza nazionale. ; XIX Ciclo

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to analyse if and in which way specialization, geographical localization and spill-over effects affect resilience. The research is carried out using LLMAs (Local Labor Market Areas) as observational unit and spatial data analysis techniques (Anselin 1999, LeSage & Pace, 2009) in Italy. Resilience literature focalized its attention on regions. Despite this, there is no general agreement regarding the most appropriate observation unit. Our aim is not only to investigate the relationship between specialization and resilience at smaller scale using the LLMAs as observation unit but also to explore the spatial relationship among them. Results highlight a strong spatial correlation among LLMAs. As consequence resilience is not only influenced by specialization but also by geographical localization through spill-over effects.

In recent years, markets have been hit by various crises, both economically and naturally. These shocks have highlighted how important it is for companies to be able to adapt with resilient behaviors. Entrepreneurs and their resilience capacity will play a very important role in the recovery process. Resilience is closely linked to other abilities such as risk intelligence; that is, the ability to look at uncertainty as an opportunity rather than a disadvantage or danger. The study assesses the relationship between these two constructs using a sample of entrepreneurs in the tourism sector within Italy. Analysis confirmed a relationship between subjective risk intelligence and resilience. These relations are explained by taking into consideration four aspects (imaginative capacity, problem-solving self-efficacy, attitude toward uncertainty and emotional stress management) included in risk intelligence, highlighting which of them contributed to explaining the three dimensions of the resilience construct (hardiness, resourcefulness and optimism).
