Introduction Since the foundation of the German Democratic Republic (7 October 1949) and until its end (3 October 1990, accession to the FRG), there were different cultural exchanges between the visual artists – painters, graphic artists, designers, stage designers, sculptors – of the GDR and their colleagues in Italy. The cultural policy of the GDR was interested not only in the culture of the ...

Introduction I am indebted to Uwe Schimank for helpful comments. The rise of «new public management» (NPM) in higher education systems of many OECD countries is based on, and fuels, research evaluation as a political and management tool. Central tenets of NPM – that competition increases efficiency, that resources need to be allocated to the best-performing units, and that hierarchical management ...
Introduction In our national political arena, almost daily we witness logical contradictions, fallacious arguments and other dramatic violations of the norms of a democratic public sphere, not to speak of the increasing public use of swearwords and other outright deviations from the canons of a civic dialogue. The emergence of a worried, legitimate indignation for the low qualitative level of public ...

Legality, change and crisis, di A. Costabile and M. Tagarelli


Foreword Legality as a pattern of behaviour and social practice, and most of all as a value, is strictly connected to modern society and its transformation. Linking legality to change widens the analytical perspective beyond both its deductive definition as a philosophical or juridical a priori and its reductive and merely negative definition as the opposite of illegality. Most notably, that ...
Introduction A massive amount of data is now available to policy makers although the effective exploitation of its potential in the public arena still needs to be assessed. The area of public policy is a difficult terrain, where it is easy to create high expectations, and just as easy to cause rapid disillusionment (Munch 2017). Little research has focused in fact on how new digital data can facilitate ...
Introduction Scientific journals have been undergoing an important transformation fort the last two decades. Some of the main changes affecting them have been driven by digitisation, the globalisation of the publishing market, the emergence of metrics and the use of journals in research evaluation and science policy (Mackenzie 2007; Larivière et al. 2015; Moed 2006; Malsch and Tessier 2015). ...
Introduction The presence of many – sometimes contradictory – theories is arguably considered a strength in the social sciences. The multitude of available theories today makes it seem impossible to have a grand theory, a specific unique theory that may be applied to all situations at all times in order to explain social phenomena. Therefore another solution becomes more and more reliable: ...
1. Is it the time for hybrid and mixed approaches? During the Twentieth century, the analysis of the texts produced by political communication has been one of the busiest areas of research for many social sciences scholars (Laswell and Leites 1949). However, the use of online social text data becomes more and more essential for understanding and analyzing new forms of participation in the communication ...
