European
Constitution and Administrative Reform:
The Italian Case
The drafting
of a European constitution is currently
at the centre of much attention, and
will have an impact on administrative
reform in each single country.
It is now widely acknowledged that
Western societies have entered the
second phase of modernity.
During the first phase, Western countries
faced six different challenges that
brought about the creation of the
modern State: legitimisation, industrialisation,
urbanisation, resource distribution,
participation, and secularisation
. These challenges therefore refer
to general, supranational issues that
go beyond political and legislative
issues, and it is their general nature
that has led to the intervention of
the State in these matters.

CONSULTATIVE
MEETING ON PRIORITIES IN INNOVATING... |
The consultative
meeting, under the umbrella of the
Innovmed project, was organised by the
United Nations Department of Social and
Economic Affairs (UNDESA), in conjunction
with Formez – Training and Study
Centre, availing of the Centre for Administrative
Innovation in the Euro-Mediterranean Region.
Over the course of four days from 17 to
20 May, at the Formez seat in Arco Felice,
forty experts from the Euro-Mediterranean
region presented and discussed central
issues on the state of public administration
at national, regional and sub-regional
levels.
The chief aim of the conference was to
compare the various experiences of public
administration reform and innovation of
each country, and to identify the reform
priorities of the public administrations,
and the consequent needs for training
and administrative innovation.

New
efficient and participatory models and technologies
for Euro-Mediterranean administrative action
The basic idea is to co-define and
test a new relationship between public
administrations, citizens and the private
sector in the Euro-Mediterranean area.
This relationship will move beyond the
current administrative, cultural, and
ethical differences between the single
administrative systems
The Euro-Mediterranean basin, considered
here as a single vast area, has hosted
administrative models and activities
whose historical roots are varied and
composite: Francophone, Anglophone,
Hispanic, Italian, Islamic, Byzantine,
etc...
Innovative
techniques and methodologies for the valorisation
of the Mediterranean’s archaeological
heritage
The basic scientific idea is to create
an innovative methodology for the valorisation
of the Mediterranean’s archaeological
heritage. The project starts with the
analysis of phenomena that radically
changed places and their “historical
memories” due to their extraordinariness
and their temporal concentration, namely
some of the great natural catastrophes
that took place in the Mediterranean
area. Many different disciplines can
work on sites affected by these events,
and their overall integration can bring
an extraordinary amount of added value
in terms of knowledge that could not
be acquired if each single study were
to be looked at individually. The earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions that have succeeded
each other over the centuries represent
a distinctive feature of the Mediterranean
identity.
