Italian Ambassador Visits ISET: Historical challenges and choices that Italy faced following World War II
- Details
On February 12, 2014, ISET hosted the Italian Ambassador to Georgia, H.E. Federica Favi. The Ambassador gave a presentation about the historical challenges and choices that Italy faced following World War II.
Ambassador Favi began her presentation from 1945, a point when Italy lay ruins after the war. According to her, after WWII Italy faced three main challenges: the restoration of democracy, rebuilding its economy and finding its place in the world. These challenges were further exacerbated by the issues of the status of ethnic minorities residing near the borders of Italy, the turbulent internal political situation and the onset of the Cold War.
ISET-PI Research Fellows Trained in Regulatory Impact Assessment
- Details
On 3-7 February, 2014 a group of ISET-PI researchers were trained in Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA). The main goal of implementing RIA is to ensure that the benefits of a regulation exceed its costs for society as a whole.
Good RIA allows policy-makers to learn about the potential impact a new regulation may have in a detailed and systematic way, thus enabling them to make better informed decisions. The Economic Prosperity Initiative (EPI) organized the training, which was delivered by international leaders in regulatory reform Scott Jacobs and Cesar Cordova, directors of Jacobs, Cordova & Associates. Representatives of other NGOs and ministries were trained alongside the ISET-PI researchers.
