The Concept of Resistance in Italy brings together experts from
different fields to reflect in a new, comprehensive critical
approach, on an event that has shaped the young Italian nation from
the onset of Fascism in the early 20s. Although grounded in the
Italian context, its theoretical frameworks, provided by the
variety of disciplines involved in the volume, will prove
beneficial for any critical discourse on the concept of resistance
nowadays. Moving from a reflection on the legacy of the Italian
Resistance to Fascism and the Resistance Movement born in the
latest years of WWII, when Italy witnessed the presence on its
territory of foreign troops from opposite corners, and was involved
in a Civil War at the very same time, this collection reassesses
the concept of Resistance within the Italian 20th and 21st century
cultural context, moving beyond historical perspectives. The
multidisciplinary scope allows for an historical, philosophical and
artistic exploration of the concrete actions that define resistance
to Fascism, and the Resistance Movement during WWII, their
representations in literature, cinema and music, and the more
abstract philosophical concept of Resistance in a rapidly changing
globalized world, with oppressive political orders, new global
economic structures, and emerging new philosophical fields.

The purpose of this book is to examine and explore how economic
sanctions can be used as a successful instrument to influence
countries. The analysis of the application of sanctions against
Serbia-Montenegro (1992-1995) will be particularly effective in
addressing the two primary questions of this book: first, did
economic sanctions influence the behaviour of the Serbian
government by stopping the war in Bosnia, and secondly if they did,
in which ways were they able to modify Serbian conduct? This book
will advance two main arguments. First, economic sanctions
influenced Serbian authorities, not for their economic impact or
political pressure on the population, but because the international
community was able to send a strong message of disagreement to
Belgrade for its behaviour. Second, this was possible because,
using sanctions, the international coalition was able to send clear
signals about its future intentions. The coalition convinced Serbia
that it would continue to impose sanctions until they were
successful.
