Social Innovation and Sustainable Development: a nurturing relationship
Social Innovation and Sustainable Development: a nurturing relationship

by Vincenzo Fucci

As social, economic and environmental challenges increase, the path leading to development and sustainability is seriously jeopardised and the implementation of avant-garde tools and practices urges. This volume aims to shed light on the transition that our society has been passing through and how we can drive this transition towards what we value. It is precisely in these transitional phases that the answers we are looking for come to surface: this is the case of social innovation. This relatively recent concept over the last years gained increasing relevance and interest. This volume explores the complexity and the criticality of both the notions of social innovation and sustainable development through the lenses of an analytical investigation of their meanings and nuances and examines their processes and practices. This volume clearly frames these notions and emphasises the peculiarities and the qualities that foster a nurturing relationship between social innovation and sustainable development.

Reflections on labour law at the time of Covid-19 crisis

Reflexiones sobre el derecho del trabajo en la época de la crisis de Covid-19

by Gianni Arrigo, Giuseppe Casale, Mario Fasani, Humberto Villasmil Prieto

In this volume, the authors deal with a number of labour law issues relating to the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the world of work, which is deeply different from all previous crises. This diversity lies in its origin and its impact on health in the world of work. Its economic and social impact is also different: the solutions adopted in previous crises do not offer viable solutions in this post-Covid-19 crisis. This determines a rethinking of work organisation (and its rules) and of the way of producing and rethinking of the founding values of the societal community.
