European Administrative Law and Migration Crisis

Control over migration flows and progressive inclusion of particular groups of migrants (as refugees, minors and asylum seekers) challenge national and supranational administrative law and Welfare schemes from a juridical and economic perspective. The goal of this research is to explore potential reforms of EU and Italian law in social sectors and labour market access for refugees and asylum seekers.

Public Procurement Regulation

The goal of this research is to explain how principles, standards an procedural rules on public procurement develop alongside global, supranational and national markets. A special focus will be on the coexistence of the relevant regimes (such as WTO Government Procurement Agreement-Gpa and World Bank Procurement Guidelines) and on innovation in public contracting.

State and Civil Society, Administration and Politics

The economic and non-economic relationship between State and civil society is crucial to understand the development of both the two subjects of this relationship and the relative institutions in the last twenty years. A special focus of this research is on the dichotomy of administration and politics (i.e. political parties financing and selection of political representatives co-workers) and on the interests mediation mechanisms, such as trade unions and third sector associations.

Welfare State, Social Rights and Public Policies

The crisis of the public debt and the economic sustainability of traditional Welfare schemes launch challenges for new organizational and legislative set up. In particular, to guarantee social rights and to apply principles of equality and justice in the public benefits distribution, a more effective implementation of means tests and the blurring public/private divide are at stake.
