The wave of protests that, starting from the end of 2010, hit some countries in the Middle- East North-Africa region, leading to the fall of long-standing autocratic regimes and referred to as the Arab Spring, has renewed the interests of researchers on youth bulges. The youth bulge theory links the demographic transition to political instability, by asserting that countries characterized by a particularly young population tend to be more vulnerable to political violence. The aim of the thesis is to test empirically this hypothesis on a sample of 160 countries in the post-World War II period. For this purpose, we adopt an econometric strategy alternative to the one prevailing in the literature on the determinants of civil conflicts: we employ a simple linear regression model which accounts for country and time fixed effects.

This article seeks to reflect on the methodological problem that dealing with political concepts with a particular historical and geographical frame entails. After stating how conceptual history, German in its origins, has given rise to different lines of thought throughout the Western World, especially in Europe, we explore how this conceptual approach can be used to address political concepts in Latin America from a philosophical-political perspective. ; Questo articolo si propone di discutere il problema metodologico dell'approccio ai concetti politici all'interno di un particolare contesto storico e geografico. A partire dal fatto che la storia concettuale, originariamente tedesca, ha dato origine a specifici percorsi in tutto il mondo occidentale, e soprattutto nel resto d'Europa, ci chiediamo come questo approccio concettuale possa essere utilizzato quando si affrontano i concetti politici in America Latina da una prospettiva filosofico-politica.

The practice of estrangement retains an essential political function. It is possible to link this narrative formula to the investigative paths typical of Thing Theory: in this way the perspective guaranteed by the matter can shed light upon the ideological coordinates of capitalist logic, through an interpretation of the commodity in a dissident key according to the suggestion offered by Francesco Orlando in his Freudian theory. This article therefore aims to document the relationship between Šklovskij's intuition, Thing Theory and Orlando's proposal through a close reading of Solid Object, a short story by Virginia Woolf. ; La pratica dello straniamento conserva un'imprescindibile funzione politica. È possibile legare tale formula narrativa ai percorsi indagativi propri della Thing Theory: in tal modo la prospettiva garantita dalla materia può far luce sulle coordinate ideologiche proprie della logica capitalistica, attraverso una rilettura della merce in chiave dissidente secondo il suggerimento offerto da Francesco Orlando in merito alla sua teoria freudiana. Questo contributo mira perciò a documentare il connubio tra l'intuizione di Šklovskij, la Thing Theory e la proposta di Orlando attraverso una lettura ravvicinata di "Solid Object", racconto di Virginia Woolf.

This study examines Thatcherism as an attempt to change the values and the political culture of United Kingdom using economy as a tool. From the perspective of political theory this specific case arouse great interest and the different compounds that made this transformation possible, in particular the "battle of ideas" and the role of political leadership, should be examined with great care. Thatcherism offers a new perspectives to interpret conservatism and liberalism, and to reshape those political theories in order to cope with a series of new problems. In this analysis there are some observations about the relationship between political theory and ideology and between market and democratic theory. Finally Thatcherism is analysed using the concept of biopolitics elaborated by Foucault.

In Des sociétés animales: étude de psychologie comparée (1877) Alfred Espinas conceives an overall equivalence between the social and the biological organism. The aim of this essay is to complicate this reading, showing how the entire work is crossed by epistemological movements that weaken such an association. Particularly, by focusing on the political shifts of his organic sociology, a fundamental though forgotten moment in the history of the concept of society will be reconstructed.

From the point of view of political philosophy, the relationship between literacy and democracy appears quite problematic, if the issue of linguistic diversity is set aside. The debate between equalitarian liberals and multiculturalists emerging with the rise of multiculturalism as a theoretical paradigm has highlighted that the historical affirmation of the Western nation-state has been built upon the negation of internal linguistic diversity, favoring some languages over others, a trend which has not lost its strength with the advent of democracy. However, one of the main results of such debate, largely indebted to the Rawlsian conception of justice, has been seemingly the idea that the extended promotion of plurilingualism (that is, a kind of promotion which does not aim to support second or third language acquisition only for the benefit of the so called 'minority' or 'disadvantaged' groups and languages) could not be a viable alternative for contemporary democratic theory to ameliorate its performance. Drawing upon the field of language policy, this article envisages showing that such a result is tied to a certain number of theoretical assumptions concerning language, which are controversial both in political philosophy and in linguistic theory. In the final section, the article tries to provide some suggestions to develop a reflection more open towards the extended promotion of plurilingualism and to acknowledge the human ability to learn more than one linguistic code.

This article traces the formation of a new discipline -- international political economy (IPE) -- in terms both of concepts & theoretical debates, & of the social process of its institutionalization, as shown by journals, textbooks, course offerings, & Internet Websites. In its first part, this article presents some well-known definitions of IPE & illustrates different types of theory. Special attention is given to Robert Gilpin, because of the importance of his work & the evolution of his thinking about IPE. In the second, the 30-year life of IPE is analyzed to identify the most important events leading to the creation of a new field of social research: the organization of conferences in the early 1970s; the publication of important books written by unorthodox economists like Kindleberger & Hirschman; & theoretical debates. The work of R. W. Cox, which is related to the "Gramscian turn" in international relations, is a particular focus of attention. Finally, the consequences of the "Fourth Debate" on positivism in international relations are considered in terms of the connection of IPE with constructivism, historical sociology, & the "cultural turn" in the social sciences. The third part shows how the debate on IPE has moved from being fully internal to (American) political science, to include general concerns about the social sciences at the beginning of the 21st century.
