Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil security is an increasingly important policy field in Europe, as both Member States and the EU work to protect European societies from a range of threats and risks including natural and man-made disasters as well as terrorist attacks. Over time, each European country has developed a unique civil security system based on its national specificities, which interacts with both neighbour countries and the Union. This research paper analyses the Italian case on the basis of four analytical dimensions: cultural and historical aspects, legal aspects, the relation between the civil security system and citizens, the role of private sector. Three critical qualitative measures of the system are also discussed: effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy. In addition, because of the importance of international cooperation and EU role in this field, the relations between the Italian security system and the European context are addressed. Specific attention has been devoted to the way the system responded to the earthquake in L’Aquila and the pandemic influenza A (H1N1), both occurred in 2009, as major crises faced in the last decade. In particular, the L’Aquila case study has underlined both strengths and weaknesses of the way the system does function. Several key points of the Italian civil security system have been identified, such as the flexible cooperation among institutional actors, the issue of levels of governance, the role of changing legal frameworks, the contribution of non-profit organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, leading social researchers from Australia, India, Italy, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, the UK and USA discuss the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic in their respective countries. They explore socio-cultural, health, economic and educational aspects of people’s lives, and governments’ policies and programmes. Their analyses show how coronavirus infects indiscriminately and impacts discriminately, particularly the disadvantaged and marginalized groups. The pandemic exposes hidden health inequalities and calls for structural changes. It significantly contributes to lessons learned from the pandemic and the understanding of implications for community and social development. The book is a useful resource for further research and action, and policies and programmes to fight the pandemic and support people and communities with care and compassion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From earthquakes to oil spills, Italy is recurrently affected by different kinds of disasters. This book brings a critical perspective to post-disaster reconstruction and recovery, which can impact in both the short- and long- term upon society, politics and organisations.It is often assumed that disaster-hit areas return to normality or even "build back better" thanks to the interventions of experts. Giuseppe Forino considers the complexities of disaster recovery and the sometimes radical changes in individual and collective behaviours that persist following such events. Bringing together the impacts of natural hazards (including climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic), this edited book will stimulate debate on policy and practice in disaster recovery.

Book excerpt: Natural disasters traumatize individuals, disrupt families, and destabilize communities.Surviving these harrowing events calls for courage, tenacity, and resilience. Professional planning requires specific types of knowledge of how people meet and cope with extreme challenges. Disaster Resilience from a Sociological Perspective examines three major earthquakes occurring in Italy over a fourteen - year period for a well-documented analysis of populations' responses to and recovery from disaster, the social variables involved, and the participation of public agencies. This timely volume reviews sociological definitions and models of disaster, identifying core features of vulnerability and multiple levels of individual and social resilience. The analysis contrasts the structural and supportive roles of Italy's civil protection and civil defense services in emergency planning and management as examples of what the author terms professional resilience. And testimony from earthquake survivors and volunteers gives voice to the social processes characteristic of disaster. Among the areas covered: Social context for concepts of disaster, vulnerability, risk, and resilience Types of resilience: a multidimensional analysis, focused on a physical, ecological, and ecosystem perspective Findings from three earthquakes: loss, hope, and community. Two systems of organizational response to emergencies Toward a relational approach to disaster resilience planning Plus helpful tables, methodological notes, and appendices For researchers in disaster preparedness, psychology, and sociology, Disaster Resilience from a Sociological Perspective raises--and addresses--salient questions about people and communities in crisis, and how studying them can improve preparedness in an uncertain future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In European External Action Service, Mauro Gatti provides a legal analysis of the EU’s ‘foreign ministry’. The European External Action Service (EEAS) was created to coordinate the supranational and intergovernmental areas of EU external relations, but it is unclear whether and how it may attain this objective. Through an analysis of law and practice, Gatti demonstrates that the EEAS is capable of effectively promoting coherence in EU external relations. Although working independently from EU institutions and Member States, the EEAS can coordinate their activities at an administrative level. The EEAS is thus ideally placed to bring together EU external action instruments, including diplomatic efforts, development cooperation, and security policies.
