China 2017
The article argues that the Chinese party-state’s most pressing question in 2017 continued to be its quest for legitimacy. In the period under review the party-state’s main strategic answer to the legitimacy crisis was its effort to strengthen Chinese nationalism and build an ideology based on Chinese exceptionalism. This was accompanied by concrete political economic \nmeasures directed at radically transforming the Chinese economic development …
Gramsci and the Theory–Praxis Nexus

Balancing regime stability
China 2015
The present article sees as the most important political-economic development in China in the year 2015 the fulfilment of the first phase of a gargantuan political-economic project: the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, known also as the «One Belt, One Road» (OBOR) initiative. This project, launched by the Chinese government in 2013, was institutionalized in a programmatic document in 2015. Therefore, the present articl…
Contested places
Through an analysis of Carlo Levi's Sardinian reportage Tutto il miele è finito, this article will address elements of postcolonial discourse, including colonialism, hegemony and subalternity. Since his first novel, Cristo si è fermato a Eboli, Levi had been greatly concerned by the problem of the South and the limited contribution of Italian unification towards repairing the uneven conditions of its regions. For these reasons, Levi is placed in …
