The Journal
Trasporti. Diritto, economia, politica (ISSN: 0390-4520)
Founded by Prof. Francesco Alessandro Querci and Prof. Ludovico Matteo Bentivoglio in 1973, TRASPORTI is Italy’s first interdisciplinary and international transport journal. It takes its starting point from the observation of the disruptive role played, in the present age, by the increasingly generalised and widespread mobility of people and things. Situated in a planetary dimension, as a driving force of world integration, the transport phenomenon reveals a series of aporias, dysfunctions, squandering and sectorial imbalances, which result in the excessive cost of public services in relation to their efficiency, the often conflicting competition between road and rail, the compartmentalisation of the legal-economic structures of goods-transport, the recurring crises of civil aviation, aggravated by the chronic inadequacy of airport facilities, the polarisation of maritime traffic flows and the consequent penalisation of passenger transport, all against the backdrop of the three fundamental challenges that modern industrial civilisation is called upon to overcome: overpopulation, environmental pollution, and the depletion of traditional energy resources.
Such a complex problematic, but characterised in any case by the interrelation of its constituent nodes, requires, therefore, a multifaceted investigation, which, at the same time, is a guarantee of objectivity and scientific rigour, if it is true that, in the words of the philosopher Karl Popper, ‘scientific objectivity can be described as the subjectivity of the scientific method’. But, such an investigation must be finalised in an immediately operational sense. The collection and analysis of cognitive data and their conceptual systematisation must set itself the primary and inescapable task of contributing to the rationalisation of decision-making processes, i.e. to the formation and implementation of a unitary transport policy, which has been lacking in our country to date.
Our journal brings together, under the banner of the frontispiece, scholars with different backgrounds and scientific training and intends to open a coherent and constructive dialogue with all those who, working in the legal, economic, commercial and political fields, are increasingly aware of the need to tackle the problems posed by the continuous progress of transport technology in an overall view.
