- The number of immigrant children in Italy has been increasing more and more. They are impacting both on immigration as a phenomenon and on receiving societies. Thus, it becomes important and useful to understand which factors matter in second generation's paths and potential trajectories. Through a presentation of different analytical approaches on the phenomenon of migration, the paper explores the role of the family, the ethnic community and friends, as well as of religion and religious organizations in the promotion or prevention of positive forms of inclusion. With a specific focus on the Italian context, it explains the social and cultural transformation that characterises immigrant families, stressing the role that can be played by the human and social capital embedded in ethnic networks. The main aim of this paper is to go beyond the assimilation approaches and to highlight how immigrant families, ethnic networks and religious organizations could promote integration and the upward mobility of future generations. Keywords: Immigration, Second Generation, Ethnic Communities, Integration, Social Cohesion.

This study has been suggested by the huge importance of labor migration for the social and economic development of the South Caucasian post-Soviet space. Confronted with an unprecedented outflow of their citizens and acutely aware of the problems associated with migration of able-bodied population to other countries, Russia among them, these countries have arrived at a conclusion that their migration policies need reforms. The article analyzes the trends of labor migration from the South Caucasian countries to Russia and other equally popular destinations. The migration trends up to and including Russia’s regions with the maximum numbers of labor migrants from the Southern Caucasus and the structure of their employment by industry are also analyzed. The paper contains statistics on the amounts of remittances sent by labor migrants from Russia to their homelands and assesses their impact on the economies of corresponding states. The cultural and economic contacts between the diasporas and the countries of their origin suggested a comparative analysis of their emergence and development. We have identified the typical industries preferred by representatives of each of the South Caucasian states in Russia, and the documents required of migrants to be employed in Russia. Conclusions related to the specifics of influence and the role of the diasporas in the structure of their employment are contained in the final part of our article along with the identified patterns and trends of these processes. Today, the situation on the market is unbalanced when it comes to job availability and the positions of members of these diasporas. The situation will remain the same as long as diasporas preserve their influence and the migration flows, their proportions. We have identified the most attractive regions in terms of job availability, the spread of migrants from the Southern Caucasus across the regions of the Russian Federation and the rivalry between Azeris, Armenians, and Georgians for jobs in various employment spheres.

By the application of fresh analytical approaches such as prosopography and the concepts of “secular trend” and “conjuncture” pioneered by the Annales school, historians are at last beginning to probe the social and political structures of Latin America in the national period. What before had been surmised or supposed, particularly in regard to the dominance of political and social life by elites, can now be quantitatively confirmed, while the identification of secular trends permits the historian to penetrate behind the confusion of the incidentals to the basic characteristics of the different nations and their evolution over time.The standard interpretation of Imperial Brazil (1822-1889) has until recently been that of a stable but anomalous monarchy dominated for most of its existence by its ruler Pedro II. The aging of the Emperor, the abolition of slavery on which the regime is conceived as being based, the discontents of the military, and the inevitable advance of Republicanism have been taken as the principal causes for the collapse of the Brazilian Empire on November 15, 1889.

Relevance. The study of the specific organizational culture peculiarities within group entities conducting criminal economic activities is significant for understanding the essence of such organizations, socio-psychological mechanisms of their potential influence on society. So far, the criminal subculture has not been considered from the point of view of postmodernism methodology, the influence of the role of organizational culture on its development. Purpose. Develop the theoretical foundations of the study of criminal subculture that are adequate for modern society. Method. Theoretical analysis of the criminal subculture from the point of view of the methodology of postmodernism. Results. The article provides an analysis of the peculiarities of the nature of modern culture in the conditions of the postmodern and information society, the relationship of the criminal subculture with the culture of society and the social processes taking place in it, the specifics of changes and the cultural transformation of the criminal subculture in a multicultural society (dissemination and introduction into society, modification, acquisition of new forms). Conclusions. Reliance on the methodology of postmodernism gives a deeper understanding of the cultural transformation specifics in the modern criminal subculture. The introduction of criminal subculture into the structure of society is due to the use of objective elements of organizational culture (image, externally acceptable, socialized forms of employee behavior, external compliance with the requirements of conventionality) and concealment of subjective elements of organizational culture (values of the criminal world).

This article explores regional differences in the social capital of peripheral areas in Czechia. Its objective is to make a general contribution to studies of social and human capital and to the clarification of the role of such capital in the polarisation of space. Specifically, the article builds on previous quantitative analyses of differences in human and social capital in Czechia by presenting analyses of selected results from an extensive empirical study, carried out in typologically different peripheral micro-regions in Czechia. Emphasis is given to an analysis of problems concerning residents’ level of participation in groups, according to a given region’s scale-level, residents’ trust in selected subjects (individuals, entities and institutions) and the overall satisfaction of residents with life in a given municipality. In terms of territorial differentiation, attention is focused on an analysis of differences in the quality of social capital in Czechia’s inner and external peripheries, in other words, in areas of continuous settlement and in border regions that were settled after the removal of the German speaking population.

Social networks are vital to the start-up and development of new businesses. In immigrant entrepreneurship research, the key role of co-ethnic networks has been particularly highlighted. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the networking practices of immigrants who start businesses in a rural context where co-ethnic communities do not exist. In order to address this gap, this article highlights the experiences of female Russian immigrant entrepreneurs living in Finnmark in northernmost Norway. Finnmark in fact represents a particularly interesting geographical context for such an empirical focus. The article considers how social, economic and cultural contexts configure network relationships and reveals the important role of the family, and in particular the male spouse, representing a network of resources that may alleviate migrant disadvantage through affective ties. Moreover, it shows that the family of the immigrant entrepreneurs may be located both locally in the new context of settlement and transnationally in the country of origin, and in addition may be of both co-ethnic and cross-ethnic character.

Focado no contexto italiano, o artigo trata de um elemento essencial ao Direito da Cidade, garantido pela Constituição de 1948: o princípio da função social da propriedade. Para isso, analisa quais instrumentos urbanísticos tornaram-se centrais na sua efetivação, e quais direção e uso estão tomando, na doutrina e nas experimentações de planejamento urbano. Metodologicamente, explora a doutrina e a jurisprudência, a partir de uma perspectiva histórico-sociológica que pretende ler a complexa e contraditória trajetória desta matéria dentro de um âmbito de transformações políticas marcadas por tentativas, mais ou menos bem-sucedidas, de combinar a dimensão privada da propriedade com sua projeção pública. A análise evidencia que não se conseguiu alcançar, na legislação, um equilíbrio entre estas duas dimensões, cuja tensão manteve-se nas ambiguidades que marcam os dois instrumentos (equalização urbana e desapropriação simplificada) hoje mais usados num quadro que pretende ultrapassar as contradições de um planejamento urbano baseado no zoneamento e no uso da desapropriação para fins de utilidade pública. Apostar na hibridização destes instrumentos com outras inovações faz parte do “caminho dialético” de transformação cultural de um país onde a efetivação da função social da propriedade passa, sobretudo, pelo poder judiciário e as autoridades locais, alternando momentos de preocupações com o aumento dos problemas socioeconômicos, e outros (prevalentes) marcados por uma renovada atenção às liberdades individuais dos cidadãos.-----------------Summary:Focused on the Italian context, the article deals with an essential element of the Right to the City, guaranteed by the 1948 Constitution: the principle of the social function of property. Thus, it analyses which planning instruments have become central in its implementation, and which direction they are following, in the doctrine as in the experiments of urban planning. Methodologically, it explores doctrine and jurisprudence, from a historical-sociological perspective which intends to read the complex and contradictory trajectory of the topic within the scope of political transformations marked by more or less successful attempts to combine the private dimension of property with its public one. The analysis shows that a balance between these two dimensions was not achieved in the legislation. Thus, their tension permeates the ambiguities of the two main tools (equalization and simplified expropriation) which are most used today in a framework that wants to overcome the contradictions of a zoning-based planning approach and the use of expropriation for purposes of public utility. Betting on the hybridization of these instruments with other innovations is part of the “dialectic path” of cultural transformation in a country where the realization of the social function of property passes, above all, through the judiciary and local authorities, alternating moments of concern with the increase in socioeconomic problems, and others (which look prevalent) marked by renewed attention to the individual liberties.
