In the West, the basis on which the main institutions of economic and social power, which until a few years ago were deemed to be very solid, have begun to waver dangerously. A climate of uncertainty and concern is spreading in public opinion and in scholarly circles which risks obstructing the search for interpretations and rigorous, convincing treatments to deal with a particularly negative international framework. According to Ulrich Beck (2009), the systemic crisis triggered by the failure of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. definitively immersed us in a “global capitalism of uncertainty” such that the climate we are experiencing is characterized by a widespread awareness that unmistakable changes are about to arrive. Their direction, however, is still unknown.
