br. La caduta del muro di Berlino, simbolo dell'ordine bipolare sorto dalla seconda guerra mondiale, sembrò inaugurare una stagione in cui sarebbero venute meno molte altre frontiere, insieme alla liberalizzazione e integrazione dei mercati, la creazione di vaste zone di libero scambio, la nascita di una nuova unione politica e monetaria. Solo trent'anni dopo quella tendenza appare invertita e si assiste a una rivalutazione di confini e frontiere, a un'espansione del loro numero e persino alla loro reintroduzione là dove, come in Europa, erano state virtualmente abolite. Un illusorio ritorno di fiamma della sovranità nazionale, un fenomeno controtempo o la rivincita del peso della storia e del potere del luogo? Il fatto che le frontiere siano tornate di attualità, ci avverte l'autore nella sua analisi delle più pericolose linee di faglia che si sono aperte nel mondo contemporaneo, non significa però che esse corrispondano a ciò di cui l'attualità avrebbe bisogno.

br. Quale ruolo hanno giocato i confini nella storia dell'umanità? Quale funzione possono svolgere al tempo della globalizzazione planetaria e dell'immigrazione di massa? L'autore compie uno straordinario viaggio nel tempo: dall'edificazione dei primi templi alla fondazione dell'Urbe; dalla muraglia cinese ai castelli medievali; dal Limes romano ai grandi Imperi; dal "mito della frontiera" alle moderne dogane commerciali; dalla Guerra Fredda all'Unione Europea. Il confine identifica una Comunità di appartenenza e un'identità di riferimento: ogni Civiltà - infatti - ha tracciato dei limiti entro i quali svilupparsi e riconoscersi. Oggi al centro del dibattito politico, il confine rappresenta un ostacolo naturale al dilagare del "villaggio globale" fondato sull'egemonia del mercato, sulla circolazione delle merci e sul dominio del profitto: il grande "spazio liscio" immaginato dal mondialismo - all'ombra dell'ideologia "no borders" - impone lo smantellamento delle Nazioni, l'ibridazione delle culture, lo sfaldamento delle Tradizioni, l'annichilimento delle specificità e la sostituzione dei popoli. Questo saggio afferma una nuova narrazione: identitaria, radicata e controcorrente.
Benché circondato per tre lati dal Mediterraneo, l'Italia è un Paese amarittimo. Eppure la nostra posizione strategica e l'aumento costante dei traffici navali nell'economia globale ci hanno restituito centralità solo dopo la fine della Guerra fredda. Da un lato le opportunità crescono insieme ai rischi, per cui sia lo sviluppo che i pericoli provengono dal mare. La dimensione della sicurezza è fondamentale per contrastare la criminalità e l'immigrazione illegale che si svolgono attraverso il traffico marittimo. E si tratta di fenomeni che, se non contrastati e controllati adeguatamente, sono destinati a stravolgere in profondità la società contemporanea. Appunto per questo l'intelligence diventa lo strumento principale per capire, per prevedere e per intervenire. Autori: Mario Caligiuri, Andrea Sberze.

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
