Based on an analytical evaluation of both the weaknesses and
strengths of the Italian political system, Italy in the European
Union is the first book to offer a detailed and comprehensive
description of Italy's contribution to European Union
policy-making. The contributors to this volume systematically
explore the role played by Italian institutional and
noninstitutional actors in several decision-making processes. They
show how Italian institutional actors define and promote national
policy preferences that are compatible with those of the other
European member states. However, the book functions on two levels:
it is both a nuanced picture of Italy's role in the EU and a study
of the EU as it has been transformed by subsequent waves of
enlargement. In a compound polity of twenty-seven member states the
formation of stable hegemonic coalitions is implausible-the concept
of national interest, which still informs much of the literature on
the EU, is logically and empirically unusable in many EU policy
realms. Combining empirical investigation and theoretical analysis,
this book is indispensable for scholars, students, and
practitioners who study or observe Italian politics. It is also
necessary for those who want to understand the transformation of
European politics and the European Union's increasing development
as a compound polity. Contributions by: Marco Brunazzo, Maurizio
Carbone, Sabrina Cavatorto, Vincent Della Sala, Alessia Dona,
Sergio Fabbrini, Paolo Foradori, Giorgio Giraudi, Renata Lizzi,
Simona Piattoni, Paolo Rosa, Stefano Sacchi, Alberta M. Sbragia,
Daniela Sicurelli, and Luca Verzichelli
