Participatory governance for the sustainable management of cultural heritage : pathways to social, cultural, and civic value creation.

Over recent decades, participation has become a central principle in debates on the governance and management of cultural heritage, both in academic scholarship and in international and European public policies. Despite the growing recognition of its importance, however, conceptual ambiguities and theoretical limitations persist in understanding how participatory governance models operate in practice and how they contribute to value creation for communities. This doctoral thesis engages with ...

Governing global liquidity : the rise and fall of multilateral monetary reform, 1967–1997

This dissertation explores the rise and decline of multilateral monetary reform between 1967 and 1997, asking why ambitious efforts to reshape the international monetary system proved so difficult to sustain. It suggests that these challenges were not only the result of technical constraints or power imbalances, but were also linked to a more fundamental uncertainty about the role and purpose of international money. Focusing on the history of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), the study traces ho...

Moduli of Cubic fourfolds and reducible OADP surfaces

In this thesis, we explore the intersection of the Hassett divisor C8, parametrizing smooth cubic fourfolds X containing a plane P with other divisors Ci . Notably we study the irreducible components of the intersections with C12 and C20. These two divisors generically parametrize cubics containing a smooth cubic scroll, and cubics containing a smooth Veronese surface respectively. First, we find all the irreducible components of the two intersections, and describe the geometry of the generic...
