内容説明

The first edition of Italy: From Revolution to Republic, 1700 to the Present filled a serious gap in the field by synthesizing modern Italian history and placing it in a fully European context. In this updated edition, Spencer Di Scala considers significant developments since the books initial publication, including the end of the Berlusconi government and the implications of how that occurred and the reemergence of the Italian Communist party in the guise of the Partito democratico della sinistra (Pds). Di Scala also reexamines whether Italys financial policies, designed to bring the country into the first tier of nations fulfilling the Maastrict conditions for a single EU currency, have been successful and whether, in light of the Albanian situation, Italy is moving toward an active foreign policy more in keeping with its economic clout as the worlds fifth largest producer. Finally, the bibliographical essay is updated, incorporating significant works that have appeared since 1995. Spencer Di Scala also critically reexamines certain traditional historical interpretations. He gives prominence to social, economic, and cultural developments while providing a picture of how ordinary Italians lived. Cast in a clear and lively style that will appeal to students, this book is an indispensable introduction to the history of modern Italy. }The first edition of Italy: From Revolution to Republic, 1700 to the Present filled a serious gap in the field by synthesizing modern Italian history and placing it in a fully European context.

Di Scala also critically reexamines certain traditional historical interpretations and assumptions. The European context ranges from the Enlightenment to unity, to liberalism, to the South, to Fascism, and to the Republic.The book gives prominence to social, economic, and cultural developments while providing a picture of how ordinary Italians lived. Di Scala discusses the role of women and gives ample attention to the Italian South, not only in terms of the problems of that region but also in terms of its active participation in the historical and cultural life of the nation. Cast in a clear and lively style that will appeal to students, Di Scalas work makes a strong contribution to the field by providing different historical interpretations of events in Italian history by incorporating the most recent scholarly contributions in his analyses. The book includes a rich bibliographic essay, completely updated for this edition, designed to guide undergraduate and graduate students to further reading on the various topics under consideration. }
