Corporate Social Performance and Non-Financial Reporting in the Cruise Industry: Paving the way towards UN Agenda 2030
This article investigates the role of accounting disciplines in assessing and fostering corporate social performance (CSP) of business organisations to meet the UN Agenda 2030. Drawing from legitimacy theory, this qualitative study analyses if and how non-financial reporting positively affects and fosters CSP practices and outcomes within the cruise industry. Specifically, using a case study methodology, a major cruise company has been analysed outlining its sustainable behaviour, through the manual content analysis of sustainability reports (2016–2017–2018), in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) introduced by the UN Agenda 2030. The findings outline that the cruise company presents a clear sustainability and community
orientation and adopts several initiatives, mostly focused on environmental and social issues, addressed to meet the 17 SDGs, where reputation and positive image have been recognised as the major antecedents in the perspective of CSP. This study contributes to the literature giving a broader and different reading of sustainability reporting as a “booster” of the CSP in meeting the SDGs and a further interesting application of the legitimacy theory, and offers managerial implications to systematise the content of non-financial reporting by improving the quality of disclosure to achieve the SDGs, with focus on CSP processes, outcomes and ways

I fenomeni di degenerazione delle democrazie contemporanee : qualche spunto di riflessione sullo sfondo delle contrapposizioni dottrinali
The paper focuses on the main conceptual issues (classifications, terminology, methodology) relating to the phenomenon of the degeneration of contemporary democracies that have attracted the attention of different social sciences in recent years. It begins with a reconstruction of the main cultural trends of democracy (classical, liberal, socialist, social, radical, and so on) then continues by exploring the current debate.

Regressioni costituzionali e corti apicali: i casi di Venezuela, Turchia, Russia, Ungheria e Polonia
Based on the analysis of some legal systems which are paradigmatic in terms of their constitutional \u2018regression\u2019, the essay identifies the way in which are besieged and then subjugated by populist political majorities. These phenomena take place despite the fact that the relative countries belong to international organizations imposing democratic conditionality before the entry but which provide weak \u2013 though not absent \u2013 answers to the crisis of democracy. These are relatively new phenomena posing new challenges to the classifications of public law doctrin
