Following his third election victory in 2008, the Italian Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi was the most controversial head of
government in the EU. This is a cogent examination of the
Berlusconi phenomenon, exploring the success and development of the
new populist right-wing coalition in Italy since the collapse of
the post-war party system in the early 1990s. Carlo Ruzza and
Stefano Fella provide a comprehensive discussion of the three main
parties of the Italian right: Berlusconi's Forza Italia, the
xenophobic and regionalist populist Northern League and the
post-fascist National Alliance. The book assesses the implications
of this controversial right for the Italian democratic system and
examines how the social and political peculiarities of Italy have
allowed such political formations to emerge and enjoy repeated
electoral success. Framed in a comparative perspective, the
authors: explore the nature of the Italian right in the context of
right-wing parties and populist phenomena elsewhere in other
advanced democracies, drawing comparisons and providing broader
explanations. locate the parties of the Italian right within the
existing theoretical conceptions of right-wing and populist
parties, utilising a multi-method approach, including a content
analysis of party programmes. highlight the importance of political
and discursive opportunities in explaining the success of the
Italian right, and the agency role of a political leadership that
has skilfully shaped and communicated an ideological package to
exploit these opportunities. Providing an excellent insight into a
key European nation, this work provides a thoughtful and
stimulating contribution to the research on the Italian right, and
its implications for democratic politics.
