A Root Which Never Grew
Prior to the Second World War, Malta appeared vulnerable to fascist influence due to the connections between the Italian Fascist regime and Malta’s irredentist political movement, then led by Nerik Mizzi.

However, previously unseen B…

Corporate social responsibility model for a competitive and resilient hospitality industry
