This course will retrace two successful experiences of social, economic, and institutional bottom-up transformation. These were made possible thanks to the informed action of social subjects, able to assess the context features, to decide a course of action and implement it consciously.
The analysis of these experiences will make it possible to deepen, in more general terms, the possible courses of transformative political action, coherent with the programmatic and project mission that the new regulatory framework gives to Third Sector Organization and Social Enterprises.
The course will dive into the understanding of political and administrative decisions’ creation mechanisms. Furthermore, it will be explored the possible ways of participation and influencing that self-organized citizens can put in place to carry out activities for the general public interest, in order to develop an adequate vision/instrumentation for the implementation of the subsidiarity principle, expressed by article 118 of the Constitution.
To this end, the main basic models of territorial government, lingering on those factors that have characterized the recent “disarticulation” processes of planned intervention, considering the degree of political-territorial decentralization.
By exploring the relational dynamics among public actors and stakeholders, the key steps that both parts can face in the programming and designing of development policies will be examined. Particular attention will be paid to the issues of multi-level governance and the relationships of negotiating power and resource mobilization that emerge in the interactions between private entities, institutional actors and interest groups.
