Italy Today represents one of the most comprehensive
examinations of contemporary Italy. It is a provocative and an
innovative collection that aims to highlight the current ?crisis?
of the country through an analysis of several different ?dark
shadows? of contemporary Italian society.
Italy already had a long history of ?unsolved? issues, several
chronic problems and contradictions that have been ignored for a
very long time, during which they have assumed dramatic proportions
and gravity. The peninsula has now become the ?Sick Man of Europe?,
a country facing a veritable decline also caused by apparent
incapacity and difficulties of the ruling economic, political and
social elites.
Discussions include:
- an evaluation of the current predicaments of the political
system
- analysis of emerging mafias, including new powerful crime
organizations such as ?Ndrangheta
- issues surrounding the ongoing presence of Fascism
- examination of the recent xenophobic tensions
- discussion of problems associated with the missed opportunity
of the EU funding, and the increasing regional economic gaps
- outline of the systemic troubles of Italy's economic and
industrial system.
Written by leading experts in the field and covering a wide
range of topics, this collection is essential reading for all those
seeking to understand the issues and problems that are facing
contemporary Italy.
