This year we celebrate Lautsi case, pronounced 10 years ago. Today we go forward. We are living in che changing times. All and everything are developing, thought, conscience, awareness, including. We proceed from a deep unifying effect between the peoples from various countries, the Crucifix case has produced. The Lautsi case bears witness that people unity needs high values and the Christianity remains at the heart. We call for sharing the goal of demystifying the discipline of law. We share the opinion that freedom of thought, conscience and religion should be understood in terms of individual human rights, not minority rights and we are sure, this freedom should include as spirituality so mindfulness. A vision that leads us to explore, in an amazing perspective, fundamental questions still unresolved, from the setting up of law to that of politicians/judges/lawyers themselves. This paper shows how creative models based on the laws and precedents can fully implement the law of cause and effect in manner of quantum theory.

У статті досліджено регіон Північної Європи, який узято за приклад стабільності, економічного та політичного розвитку, з активним громадянським суспільством, верховенством права, орієнтацією на миробудування й високі соціальні стандарти. На основі таких показників, як відсутність тривалий час внутрішніх і міжнаціональних воєн, високий рівень ВНП (за даними Міжнародного валют- ного фонду), запровадження загального виборчого права, значення ролі регіону та регіональної ідентичності (на основі досліджень Атласу європейських цінностей), індексів позитивного і структурного миру (згідно з доповідями Інституту економіки й миру та глобального індексу миру, Австралія), робиться загальний висновок про значні досягнення країн Північного регіону у справі побудови миру в регіоні та стабільного громадянського суспільства. Використовуючи неореалізм, неолібералізм і конструктивізм у дослідженні, показали багатоманітність концепту Північної Європи й геополітичні особливості кожної конкретної держави в його формуванні. Так, аналізуються такі підходи до розуміння регіону через геосхеми ООН, географічний детермінізм, геополітичну боротьбу між країнами регіону й сусідами, міждержавними територіальними утвореннями. Розмежовуються поняття «Північ», «Північна Європа», «Північний регіон», «Скандинавія», «скандинавізм», «панскандинавізм», «нордизм», «Балтійський регіон», «Балтоскандія». Досліджується особлива роль Великобританії, Німеччини та Росії у формуванні регіональної ідентичності Північної Європи, а також деякі регіональні об'єднання, наприклад, Північна Рада, Північна Рада Міністрів, Північний паспортний союз, Північно-Західна Рада, Рада країн Балтійського моря. Робиться висновок про відсутність прямого зв'язку між універсальним єдиним трактуванням концептуального осмислення регіону та показниками миру і стабільності в ньому. ; This article explores the region of Northern Europe as an example of stability, economic and political development with an active civil society, rule of law, orientation on piece building and high social standards. Indicators such as the absence of long internal and international wars, a high level of GNP (according to International Monetary Fund data), the introduction of universal suffrage, the meaning of the region and regional identity (see researches of the Atlas of European Value), the indexes of positive and structural peace (due to the Report of the Institute of Economics and Peace and Global Peace Index, Australia) lean us to make a general conclusion about the great achievements of the Nordic countries in building peace in the region, sustainable development and a stable civil society. Using neorealism, neo-liberalism and constructivism, the study will show the diversity of the Northern Europe concept and the geopolitical features of each particular state in its notion. Thus, the understanding of the region is explored through UN geoschemes, geographical determinism, geopolitical struggle between the countries of the region and its neighbors, intergovernmental cooperation. The article define the concepts "North", "Northern Europe", "Scandinavia", "Scandinavia", "panscandinavism", "Nordicism", "Baltic Region", "Baltoscandia". Moreover it is analyzed the role of the UK, Germany and Russia in shaping the regional identity of Northern Europeб and such regional unions such as Nordic Council, Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordic Passport Union, Nordic West Council, Council of the Baltic Sea States. Thus, it is concluded that there is no direct link between the universal unified interpretation of the conceptual understanding of the region of Northern Europe and the indicators of peace and stability in it.

Having geographical proximity and a high volume of trade with China, the first country to record an outbreak of the new Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Vietnam was expected to have a high risk of transmission. However, as of 4 April 2020, in comparison to attempts to containing the disease around the world, responses from Vietnam are seen as prompt and effective in protecting the interests of its citizens, with 239 confirmed cases and no fatalities. This study analyzes the situation in terms of Vietnam's policy response, social media and science journalism. A self-made web crawl engine was used to scan and collect official media news related to COVID-19 between the beginning of January and April 4, yielding a comprehensive dataset of 14,952 news items. The findings shed light on how Vietnam—despite being under-resourced—has demonstrated political readiness to combat the emerging pandemic since the earliest days. Timely communication on any developments of the outbreak from the government and the media, combined with up-to-date research on the new virus by the Vietnamese science community, have altogether provided reliable sources of information. By emphasizing the need for immediate and genuine cooperation between government, civil society and private individuals, the case study offers valuable lessons for other nations concerning not only the concurrent fight against the COVID-19 pandemic but also the overall responses to a public health crisis.

Innovation is increasingly invoked by policy elites and business leaders as vital for tackling global challenges like sustainable development. Often overlooked, however, is the fact that networks of community groups, activists, and researchers have been innovating grassroots solutions for social justice and environmental sustainability for decades. Unencumbered by disciplinary boundaries, policy silos, or institutional logics, these 'grassroots innovation movements' identify issues and questions neglected by formal science, technology and innovation organizations. Grassroots solutions arise in unconventional settings through unusual combinations of people, ideas and tools. This book examines six diverse grassroots innovation movements in India, South America and Europe, situating them in their particular dynamic historical contexts. Analysis explains why each movement frames innovation and development differently, resulting in a variety of strategies. The book explores the spaces where each of these movements have grown, or attempted to do so. It critically examines the pathways they have developed for grassroots innovation and the challenges and limitations confronting their approaches. With mounting pressure for social justice in an increasingly unequal world, policy makers are exploring how to foster more inclusive innovation. In this context grassroots experiences take on added significance. This book provides timely and relevant ideas, analysis and recommendations for activists, policy-makers, students and scholars interested in encounters between innovation, development and social movements.

ZusammenfassungSowohl das Postulat der Werturteilsfreiheit (soziologischer) Wissenschaft als auch die begriffliche Grundentscheidung zu einer konstruktivistischen Soziologie steht einer Soziologie der Nachhaltigkeit im Weg. Für eine den ökologischen Problemen angemessenere Grundbegrifflichkeit wird eine an Spinoza angelehnte Anthropologie begründet und darauf basierend ein Paradigmenwechsel für die soziologische Nachhaltigkeitsforschung vorgeschlagen.

Achieving prosperity for all within planetary boundaries requires that governments take wide-ranging transformative action, but achieving 'triple-wins' by joining up policies across economic, social and environmental realms can be challenging. A companion analysis undertaken under the ODI Nexus project (Diwakar, 2022) analysed key indicators in these realms in lower income countries and identified the Dominican Republic, Sri Lanka and Thailand as front-runners in achieving more holistic development outcomes. Looking deeper at these case studies, we sought to identify national policy interventions that struck a balance between the different realms of development and explored the policy development, legislation and implementation processes required for integrated transformational policy to succeed.
In each we found national-scale, triple-win policies led from the president's or prime minister's office. These policies can usually be traced to specific political moments that forced a reckoning with the failures of previous development policy, often resulting in radical change of direction in development planning. Yet, despite the existence of triple-win policies, as of 2019, there was limited evidence of triple-win outcomes being achieved. Instead, the case study countries typically performed well in one or two realms, often to the detriment of progress in the other(s).
We present potential reasons for the lacklustre impact of these policies and conclude with suggestions for future work to outline where in the policy landscape it may be possible to enact transformational nexus policies and how to support them to achieve their outcomes in the timeframes required to ensure equitable prosperity within planetary boundaries.

Le filiere del cibo sono state al centro di profonde trasformazioni nei decenni passati, a fronte di un debole interesse degli studi sociologici da un lato e di un basso impatto sull'opinione pubblica dall'altro. Il dibattito sviluppato all'interno delle scienze sociali italiane negli ultimi anni presenta però elementi di notevole originalità, collegandosi con la letteratura internazionale nell'analisi delle dinamiche globali della distribuzione di valore a sfavore delle realtà locali e portando alla luce l'intensificazione dei processi di sfruttamento dei lavoratori e dell'ambiente. Il ruolo fondamentale rivestito dalle filiere nella tenuta del sistema socio-economico durante il periodo di lockdown iniziato a marzo 2020, inoltre, ha riattivato nell'opinione pubblica l'interesse sulle modalità e sulle condizioni con cui i prodotti agricoli e i loro derivati vengono prodotti e distribuiti. Temi centrali a questo proposito sono la lunghezza e l'articolazione delle filiere, la qualità delle materie e il tipo di regime agricolo, questioni che vengono fortemente impattate dalla politica agricola di riferimento: nel frame del contesto europeo, le direzioni su cui insiste la regolamentazione nazionale sono rivelatrici di priorità e criticità dell'agenda politica italiana nei confronti della questione agricola. Al proposito, nel decreto rilancio (DL. 34/2020) sono stati destinati fondi pari a 1.150 milioni di euro per sostenere l'agricoltura del nostro paese, con una specifica voce a favore delle filiere. ; Le filiere del cibo sono state al centro di profonde trasformazioni nei decenni passati, a fronte di un debole interesse degli studi sociologici da un lato e di un basso impatto sull'opinione pubblica dall'altro.

Al proposito, nel decreto rilancio (DL. 34/2020) sono stati destinati fondi pari a 1.150 milioni di euro per sostenere l'agricoltura del nostro paese, con una specifica voce a favore delle filiere. Partendo da questo quadro, attraverso una rassegna puntuale dei principali contributi teorici internazionali e delle più recenti ricerche realizzate in Italia sul tema delle filiere agroalimentari e sulle variegate forme in cui l'agricoltura locale si sta riconfigurando, il saggio si propone di fornire una cornice teorica di ragionamento che analizzi i rapporti tra agricoltura locale e filiere agroalimentari globali nel caso italiano. L'obiettivo è mettere in evidenza la tensione tra le pressioni esercitate nelle agri-food global chains e i processi di transizione ecologica in atto che stimolano a ripensare le forme di sostenibilità economica, ambientale e sociale. Nella ricostruzione di questi aspetti, particolare risalto verrà posto agli ambiti che emergono come particolarmente critici agli occhi dell'agenda politica, in cui la governance nazionale ha giocato un ruolo rilevante nell'impattare lo sviluppo del settore.
