- A new textbook by two highly regarded scholars of Italian
Politics.
- Is likely to become required and/or recommended reading on
contemporary Italian Politics courses as well as European Politics
and Comprative Politics courses across the world.
- Is particularly strong on the complex and turbulent post 1990
period of politics (Berlusconi etc).
- Each thematic chapter juxtaposes Italy as it was before the
1990s with Italy today, thereby evaluating the degree to which the
early 1990s can be considered a watershed.
- Adopts a broad interpretation of the political system, incorporating analyses of the economy, European integration, and ‘informal’ actors and practices such as the Mafia and corruption.
