PRIN PNRR 2022 - Democratizing Energy, Energizing Democracy (DEED): A deliberative, participatory energy democracy for an inclusive ecological transition

The project aims to investigate and develop the idea of energy democracy (ED) through the lens of political philosophy. The objective is to arrive at a conception of ED that, in being feasible, deepens and expands the socially inclusive, deliberative, and participatory aspects of the concept, making it more capable of ensuring a just and participated ecological transition, and, thereby, to contribute to environmental quality.

When all seemed lost. A social network analysis of the waste-related environmental movement in Campania, Italy

The Italian region of Campania and its capital Naples have epitomized waste management failure in Europe since 2008 when international media covered extensively the waste crisis occurring there. In response to the crisis, the Italian national government took an authoritarian turn in waste policies and criminalized citizens’ grievances and mobilizations against waste-facility siting in Campania. The state authorities’ intervention gained popular consent and obscured the multifaceted and unjust geographies of waste management in the region.
