How can energy prosumerism align with sufficiency and justice principles? A typology for policymakers, researchers and practitioners
Energy prosumerism as a concept has gained attention in recent years. It has been embraced by policymakers, employed to study community energy movements globally and to denote novel directions in the energy system transition for more sustainable, decentralised, and potentially democratic production and consumption. Nevertheless, the concept has also been critiqued as individualistic with a strong techno-economic orientation. Initially coined by T…
An agenda for future Social Sciences and Humanities research on energy efficiency: 100 Priority Research Questions
Decades of techno-economic energy policymaking and research have meant evidence from the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH)—including critical reflections on what changing a society’s relation to energy (efficiency) even means—have been underutilised. In particular, (i) the SSH have too often been sidelined and/or narrowly pigeonholed by policymakers, funders, and other decision-makers when driving research agendas, and (ii) the setting of SSH-…
What Republic without police
While there are abundant studies of the Fascist police and historians have paid a great deal of attention to policing in Liberal Italy, the history of policing in the Republican period is still a neglected topic. Yet without taking account of the police it is impossible to understand much of the history of the Italian Republic; the police mirror the society, politics and culture of Republican Italy and much remains to be done in this field. What …
Transforming innovation for decarbonisation? Insights from combining complex systems and social practice perspectives
Technological innovations seem to be among the great promises for achieving the urgent modernisation of economies towards carbon-neutrality. Ranging from fusion energy, bio-based fuels, carbon capture and storage to PV panels and so-called smart energy systems, plenty of technologies promise to reduce use or greenhouse gas emissions of carbon based energy sources. This techno-centric view disregards to a great extent that technological change aff…

Exceptional Italy? The Many Ends of the Italian Colonial Empire
Both the history of Italian colonialismand its end have often been seen as exceptional. Depending on the opinions of different historians, the Italian colonial empire was either built too late or remained too small to be compared to the large overseas possessions of other European imperial powers, such as Portugal, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom. Focusing on the particularities of an Italian Empire built in East Africa and in Libya, this c…
The EU, Migration and the Politics of Administrative Detention
The editors – a contemporary historian and a political scientist – have tried to react to and redirect the ongoing scientific debate on administrative detention centres for migrants: hence the idea behind gathering scholars from different disciplines and from different countries, and experts on different European national cases, in order to increase understanding of the divergences in approaches in the South and the East. These are scholars who s…
The Cambridge History of the First World War
This first volume of The Cambridge History of the First World War provides a comprehensive account of the war's military history. An international team of leading historians charts how a war made possible by globalization and imperial expansion unfolded into catastrophe, growing year by year in scale and destructive power far beyond that which anyone had anticipated in 1914. Adopting a global perspective, the volume analyses the spatial impact of…
Outre-mer: Histoire de l'expansion coloniale italienne
Nicola Labanca propose dans ce livre une reconstruction de l'histoire de la colonisation italienne, des premières conquêtes jusqu'à la décolonisation. Le processus d'expansion coloniale est examiné dans toutes ses dimensions (économiques, politiques et idéologiques), dans le contexte de l'Italie libérale puis du fascisme, avec les deux temps forts que représentèrent les guerres de Libye et d'Éthiopie. L'auteur met en évidence les singularités de …
A cinquant'anni dalla decolonizzazione: Grande Rivoluzione, Strumentali Ricordi
2010 could act as the fiftieth anniversary of 1960, seen as anno dell’Africa, Independence year, or - as in France officially stands - cinquantenaire des Independances africaines. But memory of decolonization of European empires is challenged at a number of levels. African and Asiatic countries which gained independence not in 1960 seem not so interested in its anniversary; former colonial powers remain silent. France scheduled an official progra…

Colonial rule, colonial repression and war crimes in the Italian colonies
A strange silence has long reigned in the public memory as well as in Italian historical studies regarding possible crimes committed by Italy in its colonial territories. The aim of this article is to reflect on the reasons for this silence through an examination of the major historiographical questions and a review of the few studies available on the subject. The historiographical use of the judicial category of ‘crimes’ or ‘war crimes’ should n…
