Il presente volume intende affrontare le relazioni tra la demografia e la globalizzazione descrivendo - in una prospettiva storica - alcune delle molte tessere di questo complesso mosaico. La descrizione spazia dalle vicende economiche a quelle mediche, da quelle sociali a quelle demografiche, con l'obiettivo di ricostruire un quadro che colloca la demografia nello scenario delle relazioni internazionali. Il testo affronta tematiche strettamente attuali - come per esempio l'impatto e le conseguenze delle epidemie sulle società -, guardando allo scenario mondiale e a regioni e paesi scelti su motivate ragioni di differenzialità. Silvana Salvini, già professore ordinario di Demografia presso l'Università di Firenze, si interessa principalmente di famiglia e fecondità dei paesi in via di sviluppo e sviluppati. Tra le sue pubblicazioni recenti: Popolazione mondiale e sviluppo sostenibile (il Mulino, 2018), con Aurora Angeli, e Il caleidoscopio africano (Aracne editrice, 2020). lobalization is a huge topic and here we have chosen to describe only a few pieces of a complex mosaic. Its description has a historical perspective and ranges from economic to medical, from social to demographic issues. It aims to reconstruct a background picture that places demographics in the scenario of international relations. It is possible to distinguish some themes: 1. The population is aging and enriching itself. Convergence often collides with delayed demographic transition. 2. The economic weight and political power are shifting towards Asia. 3. The technological revolution affects almost all aspects of society. 4. The increase in energy consumption and new production models make it difficult to manage the scarcity of resources. 5. Interdependence between countries does not go hand in hand with strengthening global governance. Silvana Salvini, already full professor of Demography at the University of Florence, will hold a course of Population and History. Her research interests have mainly concerned the family and fertility, of developing and developed countries. Her most recent books are Popolazione mondiale e sviluppo sostenibile (Il Mulino, 2018) with Aurora Angeli e Il caleidoscopio africano (Aracne editrice, 2020).

"A provocative description of the power of population change to create the conditions for societal transformation. As the world nears 8 billion people, the countries that have led the global order since World War II are becoming the most aged societies in human history. At the same time, the world's poorest and least powerful countries are suffocating under an imbalance of population and resources. In 8 Billion and Counting, political demographer Jennifer D. Sciubba argues that a deeper understanding of fertility, mortality, and migration trends points us toward the investments we need to make today to shape the future we want tomorrow. Drawing from decades of research, policy experience, and teaching, Sciubba employs stories and statistics to explain how demographic trends, like age structure and ethnic composition, signal crucial signposts for future violence and peace, repression and democracy, poverty and prosperity. Provocative and engrossing, 8 Billion and Counting is required reading for business leaders, policymakers, and anyone eager to anticipate political, economic, and social risks and opportunities"--
