The Federalist Debate, 2004 - 1



carissimi/e,
č uscito il primo numero del 2004 della rivista internazionale "The
Federalist Debate". La rivista intende partecipare attivamente al dibattito
politico sulla globalizzazione, non solo dal punto di vista federalista ma
di tutte le organizzazioni e movimenti che si battono per una diversa
globalizzazione basata sui diritti, sulle responsabilitā e sulla democrazia.
La rivista  offre spunti di riflessione e attende un vostro contributo con
articoli e/o recensioni di libri.

Vi mando la lettera di presentazione della rivista e l'indice del numero
appena pubblicato. 

Nicola Vallinoto

Dear Friends,

We are hearing more and more often about the need to 
control globalisation.

On the other hand we very seldom hear institutional 
proposals put forward to allow the democratic achievement 
of this objective.

With a wholly renewed lay-out, The Federalist Debate 
intends to become the promoter and an active part of this 
political debate, not only on the federalists' side but 
also with non-governmental organisations, from which it 
intends to obtain and to which it intends to offer 
opportunities of reflection.

To be able to implement this project, The Federalist Debate 
needs to be supported by its subscribers, the main 
financing source of the magazine.

Therefore, if you have not done it yet, we would be 
grateful if you could subscribe by filling in the form that 
you will find attached to our promotional issues or 
available in PDF on <http://www.federalist-debate.org> and if 
you could give us the name and address of people who may be 
interested in our magazine.

We thank you in advance, 
The Federalist Debate
