A Vanishing Normative Power? The Changing Dynamics of EU Arms Exports: Trade, Geopolitics and Ethics from the First Gulf War to the War in Ukraine
The arms trade is a unique domain where commercial, geopolitical, strategic and ethical drivers intersect. While arms exports might provide economic benefits and strengthen alliances, they also risk enabling human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law. We examine how the EU has managed these competing variables, from 1990 to the eve of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2021, by answering these fundamental questions: How did…
Food and the forest: A spatial analysis on the nexus between foreign direct investment and deforestation
This study examines the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on deforestation in non-OECD countries, in consideration of the potential trade-offs between economic objectives and environmental concerns and the pollution haven hypothesis. The study applies a multilevel fixed effects estimator to an original panel dataset of more than 4500 locations that received FDI across 120 countries between 2003 and 2019 and considers the sectors and sub-s…
Policy and political challenges for a better world: The United States and China pathways towards the 2030 Agenda
China’s subnational policies and the performance of provinces towards meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals

However, this transformation is marked by rising inequality, environmental pollution and stark provincial disparities. In 2015, the launching of the Agenda 2030 provided a common ground at the international level conceptualizing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper analyses the provincial performances towards t…
To eat and not to heat? Energy poverty and income inequality in Italian regions
Towards a ‘harmonious society’? Multidimensional development and the convergence of Chinese provinces
The paper analyses multidimensional patterns of development across Chinese provinces over the last two decades (1993–2016) from a balanced or ‘harmonious society’ perspective. The harmonious multidimensional index and other indexes are introduced to explore different development patterns among Chinese provinces. In order to analyse multidimensional convergence amongst the provinces, β- and σ-convergence methods are applied. The results indicate t…
