In 2008, Silvio Berlusconi returned to power - thanks to a decisive
electoral victory - to head a slimmer coalition whose cabinet
consisted of members very close to him. The year began with the
garbage crisis in Naples and ended in a climate dominated by
economic uncertainty. In between some unexpected events happened:
during the administrative elections, held with the general
elections in April, the right in Rome claimed many victories; for
the first time ever, a woman, Emma Marcegaglia, was elected
President of Confindustria; and the Alitalia airline had to be
rescued from the brink of economic collapse. For consecutive
months, opinion polls gave Berlusconi an unprecedented level of
popular support; those polled attributed their approval to either
his 'decisionism' or to what they viewed as a successful strategy
of continual announcements. Others pointed to the executive's
success in 'governing the fears' of Italians, which was helped by a
change of register in the way the media dealt with issues of
security. This volume shows that the politics of vetoes, which
characterised the previous center-left government, could not
conceal the structural, economic and social problems that still
need to be resolved, a situation not helped by the fact that the
opposition parties were still unable to develop an effective
political strategy by yearend. With the contribution of Italian and
international experts, the volume also addresses the issues of the
difficult integration of immigrants, the mismanagement of public
health and the reform of the education.
