The Principle of Subsidiarity and the Multilevel Citizenship: The Future of Social Inclusion Cagiano De Azevedo, Raimondo; Paparusso, Angela; Vaccaro, Mauro The principle of subsidiarity was formally introduced in the European Union’s legislation framework in 1992 with the Treaty of Maastricht; although already in 1986, the European Single Act authorized Community action only if a specific objective could be better attained at the Community level. However, the subsidiarity principle inspiring the functionalist approach – according to which the best solution is always the most effective – can be found already in the Vedel Report (25 March 1972), aimed at examining the problem of the extension of the powers of the European Parliament. The principle of subsidiary is the reorganization of authority in the European Union (EU), an important policy-creating process in which authority and policy-making influences are shared across multiple levels of government.

Cultura, Mutamento e Sviluppo nell’Agenda ONU 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile Memoli, Rosanna A glance at the past has revealed that in the years of reconstruction after the Second World War a different distribution of resources, technological know-how caused a gap between developed and underdeveloped countries, generating rebellions and conflicts. Forecast studies, (Future Studies) and Global Planning showed that the risks of a progressive slowdown in development were largely due to the ecological limits imposed by the world’s finite resources and the inability of the biosphere to absorb the waste produced by men activity. Nowadays, the socio-economic and environmental context appears to be characterized by a “cultural emergency”; by a process of change that lasts over the long term and is distinct from “complexity”; from “globalization”; by the barriers that block the “Development”, hindered by a strong imbalance between men and nature and the inequalities. In this issue, the excursus within today’s instances that characterize the concepts of Culture, Change and Development is the background to the Essays, Experiences, Notes and Comparisons that intersect each other in an operational way, entering into the merits of the individual objectives of the UNO agenda within an epistemological, methodological and technical framework capable of suggesting ideas in the field of public policy design.

Epistemologie della sostenibilità: ragionamenti e politiche non standard Gagliasso, Elena; Campanella, Sara Sustainability perspectives require non-standard scientific and political reasoning, now more than ever. The lexicons of ecology and political economy articulate epistemic catego-ries and imaginaries in which humans and environments are in mutual relationship avoiding an exploitation logic of the former. We support these scenarios allow to grasp the disconti-nuities between the past and the present of the environmental movements, between the scientific ideals of modernity and the contemporary ones. The need to connect two oppos-ing styles of reasoning is progressing: the theme of the non-neutrality of science and the need for science based political judgments. In this previously unknown combination of science and society, the current democratic practices of "multilevel co-production" between researchers and active citizenship (citizen-science) mark realistic governance pathways of the planetary ecological crisis to which governments seem to have to face, sooner as possible.

Scarsità e sovranità. Riflessioni sulla sostenibilità alla luce delle idee di Dumouchel e Bataille Conti, Uliano The article proposes a reflection on two concepts, related to the theme of sustainability. The first is scarcity, the latter is sovereignty. The article considers the institution of the scarcity on a social level. In this perspective, scarcity is a set of goods and resources insufficient to satisfy the needs of all people. The paper emphasizes not only a natural dimension linked to human needs, but also a social dimension: the conditions for the institution of scarcity are not only economic, but related to power and interest to manage a resource. In this sense, scarcity is not just a natural fact. The idea of scarcity is socially established and the social institution of scarcity is a means of controlling the conflict. Secondly, the paper proposes the Bataillean concept of dépense, which includes not only the excessive consumption, but also the dimensions of luxury, of play, of art, of the sacred. In such dimensions, time and resources are not destined to a profit, but are an end in themselves, in a non-utilitarian way. The dépense implies sovereign attitudes and behaviours of people over things, thanks to a way of consuming goods according to a non-servile logic.
