Collection description

[Italiano]: L’impegno delle università italiane nella formazione alla legalità e nella ricerca sulle mafie è al centro di questa indagine curata da Gaetano Manfredi e Stefano D’Alfonso. Il lavoro, nato dal confronto tra diversi docenti e ricercatori universitari, la Commissione parlamentare antimafia, la Conferenza dei rettori delle università italiane e lo stesso Gaetano Manfredi, a suo tempo Ministro dell’Università e della Ricerca, con il coordinamento del Laboratorio interdisciplinare di ricerca su mafie e corruzione del Dipartimento di Scienze sociali dell’Università Federico II, ha portato alla costruzione di un prezioso database, che consente di individuare le attività formative e la produzione scientifica degli studiosi dei singoli atenei, in circa cento settori disciplinari diversi. Ventinove studiosi di diverse aree scientifiche e differenti atenei ragionano sullo stato dell’arte dell’impegno dell’università nella lotta alle mafie, mettendo in luce alcuni punti di forza e debolezza. Nelle riflessioni avanzate emerge l’effetto combinato di alcuni fattori principali. In particolare, da un lato la dinamicità del contesto territoriale e culturale su cui insistono gli atenei e le modalità di interazione con la sfera locale e nazionale. Allo stesso modo appare importante il ruolo delle aspettative che il contesto — a vari livelli — matura nei confronti dell’università in termini di domanda della conoscenza esprimibile come strumento di contrasto alla illegalità. Soprattutto, emerge la presenza di un notevole capitale di conoscenze negli atenei italiani, da valorizzare per trovare una più consapevole posizione nel sistema antimafia./ [English]: The commitment of Italian universities to education in the field of legality and to research on the subject of mafias is the main focus of this investigation edited by Stefano D’Alfonso and Gaetano Manfredi. For the first time, data is shown about the overall framework of teaching and research activities dedicated to this topic, with twenty-nine scholars from different academic disciplines and several universities who come together to reflect on the current situation and on the commitment of universities in the fight against mafias, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses of the system. The reflections illustrated here bring to light the dynamic nature of the local and cultural context where universities operate as well as the type of interaction that these institutions maintain with the national and local context. At the same time, it seems clear that great expectations are held at various levels in terms of what universities could do, especially with regards to the demand for knowledge about the best ways to fight mafias. This research reveals that Italian universities possess a considerable capital of knowledge which represents a ‘hidden treasure’ to be valued and used with the aim of promoting widespread awareness of their role in the anti-mafia field. This book is the result of cooperation between many university professors and researchers, the Parliamentary anti-mafia Committee, the Conference of Italian University Rectors and former minister of University and Research Gaetano Manfredi, under the supervision and coordination of the interdisciplinary research laboratory on mafias and corruption of the Department of Social Sciences of the University of Naples Federico II. This network of professionals and institutions enabled the construction of a significant database where teaching and research activities carried out by scholars from different universities can be identified, across about one hundred academic disciplines.
