Italy s foreign policy has often been dismissed as too
idiosyncratic, inconsistent and lacking ambition.
This book offers new insights into the position Italy has
attained in the international community in the 21st century. It
explores how the country has sought to take advantage of its
passage from a bipolar to a multipolar system and assesses the ways
in which it has engaged internationally, its new responsibilities,
and the manner in which it conducts its policies in the pursuit of
its interests, whether political or commercial. It argues that
although Italy is engaged internationally, there is a gap between
its actions and what it actually delivers, and as long as this gap
continues Italy is likely to remain a partial and unreliable
foreign policy actor. Divided into three parts, this book
explores:
- the context and processes which characterise Italy s external
action
- its relations with crucial countries and regions such as the
US, the EU, and the BRICs
- its security and defence policies.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of
European Politics, Foreign Policy analysis and Italian
studies."
