Abstract. The aim of this paper is to discuss a grant proposal allocated to each young adult at the age of nineteen years old, as a tool to enhance equality of opportunity in Italy. Even if inequality of opportunity is a consequence of a bundle of facts, mainly related with the family of origin, and a complete eradication of differences might be very difficult, the discussion on pros and cons of a grant accorded to Italian young people may point out the relevance of the “asset-welfare” in improving equality of opportunity in a ageing society.

Solidarietà, mercato e concorrenza nel welfare italiano - By Silvana Sciarra

European Law Journal, 2011

How often in contemporary Western society do we hear criticism of public and private decisions on the basis that they were adopted with a 'lack of consultation' or without 'adequate stakeholder involvement'? Of course, one could say that such exclamations are a foil, a mere cover-up for irreconcilably opposing interests in a pluralist polity. However, such frequent pronouncements also reflect a modern consensus that decision making should include a sufficient modicum of participation and deliberation between different sides, which should aim to achieve joint problem solving. A central (and simple) concept that encapsulates this phenomenon is the notion of learning in advance of decision making. Reflexivity has become one term used to describe the processes through which such learning can successfully occur.
