“…Against this backdrop, the debate on the commons has always kept the focus on the political role of selforganization. Though it was relatively marginal in Ostrom's early work (1990), this issue is in fact at the center of a wide debate (Rose 2020). While political value of commoning has thus never been questioned, it has been viewed in varyingly nuanced ways (Kioupkiolis 2019).…”

The whole development of the Italian commons implied since the early stages some kind of dialogue between communities of activists who have at heart the future of public property and local administrations experimenting with varied forms of dialogue with citizens. As elsewhere, the Italian commons movements do not come out of nowhere. They are instead deeply rooted in a context and history of civic and political activism within social movements and the third sector. Also dialog with institutions take place in the wake of a highly institutionalized tradition of interactions between state and civil society, which in Italy dates back to the early 1980s. Through two case studies -in Bologna and Naples -the paper shows two different ways of conceiving the commons. The first on the outcomes of the convergence between public administrations and commons movements in terms of services delivered, the second on the political process through which the commons is realised.

“…Navigating through this complex landscape it is not easy [31], as it gives rise to voices urging for a more methodologically rigorous definition of 'common goods' [32][33][34]. For these reasons, tackling the theme of the commons means untangling variegated expressions, including 'common' [27,35], 'global commons' [36], 'new commons' [37], 'material commons' [38,39], 'immaterial commons' [39], 'social goods' [40,41], 'global public goods' [42,43] and 'collective rights of civic use' [44].…”

Stimulating Circular Urban Regeneration through Cultural and Sustainable Communities: The Proposal for a Green Blue Youth Vision 2030

et al. 2023

In the European context, culture has a key role in sustainable development strategies. Within the framework of the UNESCO Culture 2030 Agenda, new cultural approaches support sustainable policies by affecting individual and collective behavior towards interpreting sustainability as a ‘common good’. This paper aims to define innovative sustainability strategies from the perspectives of younger generations, in order to understand the transformative potential of new cultural approaches to sustainability and common goods in achieving the Agenda 2030 goals. The ‘Green Blue Youth Vision 2030’ approach analyses the different multidimensional components of possible innovative cultural alternatives by emphasizing the potential of the proposals from young people. The initial results consist of defining “Green Blue Youth Vision 2030” proposals collected during the co-design roundtables, and analyzing key results from a survey on the direct and potential beneficiaries of the Green Blue Days project in Southern Italy. In conclusion, the research allows for preliminary reflections on the definition, by the new generations, of a new way of understanding sustainability as a common good, oriented towards overcoming cultural, economic, environmental, and social conflicts to stimulate circular urban regeneration in Southern Italy.

“…From this perspective, entrepreneurial activity, whose objective is to produce wealth, plays a fundamental role, especially in terms of the way in which activities are organized and managed. The latter should be oriented towards the common good [61][62][63][64][65][66] and, more generally, towards improving the living conditions of all, offering even the weakest the opportunity to improve their conditions and explore their potential. The circular model offers a new vision to orient strategies and actions to the common good, assuming that the nature of man is that of homo socialis [12], whose realization lies in strengthening the relational ties [67] that make him part of a community.…”

How Hybrid Organizations Adopt Circular Economy Models to Foster Sustainable Development

2022

Relying on the hybrid organization literature and the circular economy literature, our study aims at theorizing how hybrid organizations adopt circular economy business models to contribute to sustainable development. Through six in-depth interviews with social entrepreneurs located in different regions of Italy and operating in different industries, we theorize that four aspects are unique to hybrid organizing that adopt a circular economy business model. We find that hybrid organizations foster sustainable development thanks to their ability to develop and maintain relationships with the surrounding organizational realities. Additionally, we find that hybrid organizations contribute to sustainable development thanks to their motivation to guard and watch over the natural environment and human beings. In addition, we find that hybrid organizations foster sustainability by educating, spreading knowledge, and ennobling the human spirit. We therefore present a conceptual model that shows how hybrid organizations that adopt circular economy models contribute to sustainable development. In sum, our findings expand on previous literature, add new knowledge, and integrate fields of research that usually develop in silos.
