v. 7 ISBN 9781855671140

Description

In most of the world, 1991 will probably be remembered as the year of the Gulf War or the collapse of the Soviet Union. In Italy, it is more likely to be remembered as the year of the agonizing transformation of the Italian Communist Party into the Democratic Party of the Left, as well as the difficult renewal of the CGIL, Italy's largest trade union. It will also be recalled as the year in which Italian citizens, tired of waiting for the parties to deliver long-promised reforms, used a referendum to express an overwhelming vote for change that began to alter the electroral system. Or 1991 could even be remembered as the year of the peaceful but turbulent invasion of the Albanians. These topics and others are analyzed by prominent Italian and foreign researchers in this, the seventh volume of "Italian Politics". There is both a chronology of events and a documentary appendix which make this a useful reference for students and researchers alike.

Table of Contents

  • A chronology of the events of 1991. The referendum of June 9, Patrick McCarthy
  • "a secret structure codenamed Gladio", Franco Ferraresi
  • President of the Republic, judges, and Superior Council of the Judiciary - chronicle of a bitter constitutional battle, Enzo Balboni
  • the difficult birth of the Democratic Party of the Left, Stephen Hellman
  • the crisis of the CGIL - open division in the 12th congress, Carol Mershon. the difficult reconstruction in Irpinia, Ada Becchi
  • whose law? whose order? of crime and punishment in modern times, Filippo Sabetti

  • the papal encyclical "Centesimus Annus", John Zucchi
  • the immigration question in Italy, Dwayne Woods
  • Documentary appendix, Sara Romano.

v. 8 ISBN 9781855671591

Description

Italy has always been notorious for the rate at which its governments rise and fall, but underlying the instability of its cabinets was a remarkable stability in the broader party system. In the 1992 general elections, this stability dissolved amidst other troubling signs that the political system had reached a decisive turning point. The Lombard League, with a mixture of anti-southern and anti-government rhetoric, had become a principal political force in the North, shattering old equilibria. The League's fortunes were helped by the most extensive corruption scandal of the postwar period, which deeply compromised the already tarnished images of the governing parties. The Christian Democrats underwent a convulsive change of leadership and the seemingly unshakable grip of Bettino Craxi over the Socialist Party, which he had totally dominated since 1976, was seriously challenged. The country continued to be plagued by reminders of how little control the state exercises in certain areas. On two separate occasions the men named as the country's leading anti-mafia judges were murdered. A decade-old mystery about the apparent shooting down of a civilian airliner revealed incompetence and cover-ups in the highest reaches of power. And the country continued to lumber towards its rendezvous with the EC amidst a chronic debt and currency problem. All of the above, and other topics as well, are covered in the eighth volume of this series on contemporary Italian politics, which is produced in collaboration with the Carlo Cattaneo Institute. The contributors are leading experts in their respective fields from North America and Europe.
