For countries undertaking economic or political reform the case of
Italy and Japan is both highly instructive and sobering. The
Politics of Structural Reforms reveals what Italy and Japan gained
and lost through a series of social and industrial reforms in the
1990s and 2000s, and why the changes they made in their policies
have had little impact in softening the recent economic
crisis.Italy and Japan achieved miraculous economic growth in the
postwar period. While their financial and manufacturing sectors
cooperated in achieving international competitiveness, their
political systems grew alike. The weaknesses of both economic and
political compacts became apparent at the beginning of the 1990s,
when the two countries were caught in an economic slump and fell
into a stalemate that lasts to the current day. Since the early
1990's they have undergone a series of structural reforms, and
momentous changes in their political systems. Through a detailed
comparative analysis of the reforms of both countries in areas such
as corporate governance, the labour market, social policy, and in
their electoral systems the authors explain why these reforms have
not resulted in economic or political success. This innovative
volume will be an excellent resource for political scientists
specialized in political economy and industrial relations, labour
economists and sociologists as well as policy practitioners and
corporate governance specialists. Moreover, it is an enjoyable and
informative read for all scholars and those interested in social
and political reform. Contributors: D. Checchi, A.M. Chiesi, R.
