Gender Based Approaches to the Law and Juris Dictio in Europe collects and re-works the contributions presented during the online Conference that took place in June 2020. This Conference represented a very important achievement for ELaN, “European Law and Gender” project, funded by the European Commission under the Jean Monnet Actions 2019-2022, aimed at offering a specific focus on the relevance of gender equality within the European Union, promoting different, at once comprehensive, trans-disciplinary, and highly innovative perspectives.All the four sections of the book well represent this attempt to critically use the European Law and European background to highlight how gendered relationships and asymme­tries may affect the different fields of regulation.It has been projected in a challenging scenario, characterized by the health and social emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, in which gender relationships are critically overturned, requiring a combined effort in order to recreate the conditions for further developments of and in gender equality, equity and gender justice.This book is going to represent the first step toward a wider research path on genderiza­tion process of law (making) within the European scenario, which the University of Pisa, and the Department of Law in particular, are going to follow.With the collaboration ofGiovanna Spanò.  

Il Convegno i cui Atti sono raccolti in questo Volume ha costituito uno snodo cruciale nell’impegno dell’Università di Pisa per far crescere la riflessione scientifica e l’azione degli Atenei, rappresentati dalla Conferenza nazionale degli organismi di parità delle Università italiane, che è stata promotrice dell’iniziativa, intorno alle questioni LGBTQI+, alla complessità dell’identità di genere e alle misure concrete che gli Atenei sono chiamati a mettere in campo per offrire autentica cittadinanza a tutte le studenti in vario modo non conformi al paradigma eteronormativo. Proprio dalle giornate “Le discriminazioni fondate sull’orientamento sessuale e sull’identità di genere”, delle quali il libro cerca di restituire la fecondità e la rilevanza dei risultati, è peraltro sfociata una mozione collettiva rivolta alla Conferenza dei Rettori grazie alla quale, con il lavoro incessante del Progetto indipendente Universitrans, si stanno oggi diffondendo negli Atenei italiani buone pratiche orientate alla piena tutela del diritto all’autodeterminazione di genere. Il volume raccoglie le numerose relazioni presentate, che si intrecciano interdisciplinarmente affrontando il complesso tema delle discriminazioni fondate sull’orientamento sessuale e sull’identità di genere, nella prospettiva filosofica, giuridica, sociologica, pedagogica, e riscostruendolo infine attraverso la voce delle soggettività trans, l’esperienza, il dato empirico e politico.  

In times of increasing economic difficulties and with the gradual reduction of public funding, welfare systems are subject to continuous changes, with effects on the quality of services offered to citizens. The issue of the impact of welfare policies and their evolution in times of crisis is extremely interesting and relevant. The territory of residence is a key variable to assess the impact of such changes on beneficiaries; furthermore, attention to the local dimension meets a real demand by local governments. This process involves almost all European countries, so that we look both at the Italian system and at how other countries deal with ongoing changes. The book contains contributions produced as part of the research project ``Welfare Policies and Financial resources: the Impact of Crisis on Territories’’ (POWER), funded by the University of Pisa (2016). The overall objective is to study the effects of the economic crisis on local welfare systems, with a special focus on decentralization and policies for which local governments are in charge. The research activity has a marked interdisciplinary connotation, which represents a novelty with respect to other literature on these topics, often addressed within specific disciplines. The interdisciplinary approach allows us to have an overall picture, without neglecting the level of detail with a strong quantitative characterization and specific attention to available databases (administrative sources and survey data). The contributions collected in this book show a dual focus on both the supply and demand of social protection and suggest the opportunity of further investigating the existence of a gap between welfare interventions and priorities of citizens.
