Since the advent of the Second Republic in Italy in the mid-1990s,
a new generation of politicians has announced a shift in the system
toward greater governmental leadership, policy innovation,
government accountability and responsiveness to the citizens. Yet
in recent years government has experienced frequent crises and
deadlocks, policy blockades and undisciplined parliamentary
majorities. Has the attempt to change the nature of the Italian
government totally failed? This book addresses this question by
empirically assessing and theoretically evaluating the outcomes of
the new system. It asks whether there has really been a shift
toward a more majoritarian democracy and examines why alternation
in power has failed to produce a more efficient and responsive
government. It evaluates the connections between cabinet,
parliament, parties and citizens, and in doing so, brings together
diverse areas of inquiry such as government, legislative, party and
public opinion studies. Drawing from comparative theory but also
considering the impact of country-specific determinants, it
explains the very nature of the Italian government from the point
of view of its achievements and its failures. This text will be of
key interest to scholars and students of government, comparative
and Italian politics, and more broadly those with an interest in
government, democracy and Italy.
