The topic of migration and policies to face these covers a rather consistent number of pages in this issue as well. Read the Dossiers with articles and interviews by Anna Iara, Andrzey Bratkowski, Donato Speroni, Matteo Ferrazzi, Josè Luis Rhi-Sausi, Fabrizio Coricelli, Elena Fenili and Francesca Nenci. Migration is also discussed in the third edition of the Venice Forum (June 12 and 13), which we will broadly summarize in the upcoming issue. Strictly connected, the topic on globalization and how to “manage” it, covered by Renato Ruggiero in his editorial. On Russia, a great contribution by Piero Sinatti who will try to anticipate scenarios of relations with America after the November ballot.
