Since 1992, Italy has been rocked by the disintegration of its
traditional ruling elite as dozens of leading politicians have been
accused of corruption, extortion, and Mafia ties. The two linchpins
of the former governing coalition, the Christian Democrats and the
Socialists, have been shattered by scandal and humiliated at the
polls. New political forces, such as the Northern League, have
rushed to fill the vacuum. The traditional opposition, the
Communist Party, changed its name to the Democratic Party of the
Left in 1991 and has since emerged as the leader of a coalition of
progressive forces that may yet prove itself as Italy's natural
government. The neofascist Italian Social Movement, profiting from
the chaos, has become the largest party in Italy's economically
depressed South. All these political disturbances have taken place
against a backdrop of mounting economic worries and an internecine
war between the state and the Mafia.These political convulsions
could well be designated a revolution. Since the fall of the Fourth
Republic in France, no Western nation has undergone such a dramatic
period of upheaval. This clear and balanced book provides both a
historical account of the circumstances that led to "la rivoluzione
italiana" and an explanation of why it took place after decades of
complacency.
