Although the expansion of the European Council ended several years ago, its consequences on the systems of the European Convention on Human Rights are still noticeable to this day. Without crediting most of the latest developments undergone by the system to this expansion, the latter has certainly caused numerous changes. Not only have they influenced the control mechanisms of the European Court of Human Rights, they have equally affected the dispute it has to resolve.

This article discusses the position of women in international migration with particular attention to their situation in the labour market in Italy, a country where the informal economy represents an important share of productive activities. Firstly, the elements which distinguish contemporary international migration from that of the period 1950 to 1975 are identified in relation to economic globalization and the transformation of the industrial system. Using an analysis of gender, ethnicity and class, the polarization of labour markets and its impact on the situation of women immigrants in Europe is then discussed. Finally, two employment sectors where women migrants to Italy are concentrated are examined: domestic work and the sex industry.

The reform initiated at the Interlaken Conference (18-19 February 2010) designs a new mechanism of supervision of the execution of the European Court of Human Rights' judgments. The goal is to cope with the increase in the workload of the Committee of ministers. The main elements of this new mechanism are the identification of two control procedures and, with a view to lightening workload within the Committee of Ministers, the strengthening of the role of the Secretariat in charge of the daily management of it, namely the Department for the Execution of Judgments. The established results have relieved the success of this new procedure, increasing the number of judgments whose execution is under control.

In this article, I explore the relations towards nationhood staged by Robert Musil in The Man Without Qualities, as they could have been experienced in the months preceding the Great War in Austria-Hungary: a declining Empire straddling between the new Europe of nation-states and the old Europe of empires. By focusing on two characters of the novel, I aim to understand the divergent relations they entertain towards nationhood. This allows me to draw a vivid portrait of individuals witnessing the European politico-administrative transformations of the beginning of the 20th century. In the comfort of a living room, far from the battlefields and the legislative or seigniorial assemblies, the last moments of an Empire appear in all of their banality, wherein the most important actors favor an unpopular and outdated imperialist system rather than taking into consideration their people's wish for the nation-state as it prevails in the rest of Europe.
