Antiausteridad y protesta en el contexto de la crisis económica y política en España e Italia

The crisis affecting European Union, and especially Mediterranean countries, is both an economic and a political crisis. In a broad sense, we can look at the crisis as the result of an internal crisis of the neoliberal model, exacerbating the perceived subordination of politics to the economy, and therefore the deficit of legitimacy and involvement that characterizes both European and national institutions. The decline in support for traditional political organizations and reduction of conventional political participation is accompanied by a process of reinvention of politics, which takes form in grass-root, non conventional participation. New political actors challenge economic and political institution and claim for a renewal of democracy and for a new relation between economy and politics. The article, after comparing steps and dimension of crisis, explores the characteristics of anti- austerity movements in Spain and in Italy, analyzing differences and similarities. Finally, we locate the movilization occurred in these two countries within the context of the global cycles of protest.

La empresa social en España y en Italia durante la crisis ¿un laboratorio de innovación económica y social?

En este artículo analizamos el desarrollo de empresa social en España e Italia en el marco de la crisis económica y social, en términos de difusión y marco jurídico. De esta manera, definimos los confines del “ecosistema” de la empresa social en los dos países e identificamos elementos comunes y especifidades. La hipótesis es que la empresa social representa una herramienta de generación de respuestas proactivas a la crisis, impulsando trayectorias de innovación económica y social, y contribuyendo a un modelo de desarrollo económica y socialmente sostenible. La innovación surge de la capacidad de las empresas sociales de generar respuestas innovativas a demandas emergentes, de su capacidad de crear al mismo tiempo valor social y económico, de satisfacer necesidades individuales y colectivas, de activar dinámicas de cambio de medio y largo plazo, de estimular dinámicas de emprendimiento, de empoderamiento y de valorización en el territorio. Sin embargo, el carácter innovador de la empresa social no surge simplemente de una empresarializacción del Tercer Sector tradicional, y mucho menos como consecuencia de la transferencia de servicios fundamentales del estado a asociaciones, cooperativas y empresas sociales, si con eso se persigue el simple objetivo de reducción de los gastos públicos. Al contrario, detrás de la retórica de la innovación social se puedan esconder proyectos de reducción de los gastos de servicios a través de la reducción de los salarios y de la cualidad de los servicios. El artículo, a partir de la comparación de la difusión del fenómeno y de las perspectivas de desarrollo en España y en Italia, termina con una reflexión crítica sobre las luces y sombras, los riesgos y las oportunidades, relacionados con la difusión de la empresa social, o sea, de la integración de la acción solidaria y la acción económica en prácticas que son al mismo tiempo empresariales y con finalidades sociales.

The Early Miocene “Bisciaro volcaniclastic event” (northern Apennines, Italy): a key study for the geodynamic evolution of the central-western Mediterranean

The Early Miocene Bisciaro Fm., a marly limestone succession cropping out widely in the Umbria–Romagna–Marche Apennines, is characterized by a high amount of volcaniclastic content, characterizing this unit as a peculiar event of the Adria Plate margin. Because of this volcaniclastic event, also recognizable in different sectors of the central-western Mediterranean chains, this formation is proposed as a “marker” for the geodynamic evolution of the area. In the Bisciaro Fm., the volcaniclastic supply starts with the “Raffaello” bed (Earliest Aquitanian) that marks the base of the formation and ends in the lower portion of the Schlier Fm. (Late Burdigalian–Langhian p.p.). Forty-one studied successions allowed the recognition of three main petrofacies: (1) Pyroclastic Deposits (volcanic materials more than 90 %) including the sub-petrofacies 1A, Vitroclastic/crystallo-vitroclastic tuffs; 1B, Bentonitic deposits; and 1C, Ocraceous and blackish layers; (2) Resedimented Syn-Eruptive Volcanogenic Deposits (volcanic material 30–90 %) including the sub-petrofacies 2A, High-density volcanogenic turbidites; 2B, Low-density volcanogenic turbidites; 2C, Crystal-rich volcanogenic deposits; and 2D, Glauconitic-rich volcaniclastites; (3) Mixing of Volcaniclastic Sediments with Marine Deposits (volcanic material 5–30 %, mixed with marine sediments: marls, calcareous marls, and marly limestones). Coeval volcaniclastic deposits recognizable in different tectonic units of the Apennines, Maghrebian, and Betic Chains show petrofacies and chemical–geochemical features related to a similar calc-alkaline magmatism. The characterization of this event led to the hypothesis of a co-genetic relationship between volcanic activity centres (primary volcanic systems) and depositional basins (depositional processes) in the Early Miocene palaeogeographic and palaeotectonic evolution of the central-western Mediterranean region. The results support the proposal of a geodynamic model of this area that considers previously proposed interpretations.

Agricultura aterrazada y clasificaciones de Zonas Desfavorecidas ¿cuál es su futuro con la reforma de la PAC 2014?

El 54,4% de la Superficie Agrícola Utilizada en la Unión Europea-27 se clasifica como Zona Desfavorecida. En estas áreas, los agricultores pueden ingresar de media un 27% menos por unidad de trabajo anual que aquellos que cultivan la tierra en zonas no desfavorecidas. Las directivas europeas, nacionales y autonómicas que se ocupan de una u otra manera de los espacios de cultivo en las “Zonas Desfavorecidas de Montaña”, en las “Zonas Desfavorecidas Intermedias” y en las “Zonas Afectadas por Dificultades Específicas”, y en las que la técnica del aterrazamiento suele estar presente, son bastante numerosas. Sin embargo, la eficacia de esas políticas ha sido muy desigual, dependiendo del diferente contexto ambiental, social y económico del país europeo que se estudie y, sobre todo, de la categoría a la que puedan acogerse las explotaciones agrícolas. Pero, además, el territorio europeo cuenta con una extensión de cultivos en “Áreas de Montaña”, también en general aterrazadas, que no han sido incluidas en las categorías citadas, cuyos agricultores no pueden beneficiarse de esas ayudas específicas, pese a afrontar los mismos problemas. España es el país más afectado de la Unión Europea, con un 16,19% de su área de montaña excluida, principalmente en la Comunidad Valenciana, Cataluña y Aragón. A partir de 2014, como consecuencia de las directrices que se deriven de la reforma de la Política Agrícola Común, estos territorios experimentarán un nuevo cambio. Entre ellos, se contempla la posibilidad de que los Estados Miembros puedan destinar mayores ayudas a las zonas desfavorecidas y elaborar subprogramas temáticos para las zonas de montaña. Por otro lado, se establecerá una nueva delimitación de “Zonas con Desventajas Naturales” (que sustituirá a las “Zonas Desfavorecidas Intermedias”), basada en ocho criterios biofísicos, con efectos a partir de 2018. Dado que los Estados Miembro deberán elaborar nuevos mapas con las zonas a delimitar, y que hasta el momento España es uno de los países que menor cuantía económica destina a estas zonas, presentamos una revisión de la problemática de estos territorios.
