Beschreibung

The political history of Italy has been an undeniably turbulent one. The country's political system has been repeatedly threatened by the historical existence of extremist parties on the left and right, an economy which struggles to adapt, the cleavage between a developed north and an underdeveloped south, the challenge posed by terrorist groups and organized crime, high public debt, and governments that last on average only ten months. Paradoxically, however, Italy continues to muddle through from one political crisis to another with one of the world's highest standards of living and quality of life. What is the secret of Italian politics?

Zusammenfassung

Comprehensive view of Italian politics covering the period from 1943 to 2017 in terms of the political parties, leaders and nature of political discourse.

Comparison of census data on how the Italian social and economic system has changed between 1951 and 2011 in terms of the country's standards on health, education, life expectancy, and employment.
