In early 2020 Italy was a country whose political parties stood as
significant obstacles in the way of resolution of its social and
economic problems. The purpose of this book is to help the reader
to understand how Italian politics had reached this point. It does
this by tracing the most significant processes of political,
economic and social change to have marked Italian history in recent
years back to their roots in the Italian political system as it
emerged at the end of the Second World War. Starting with the
restoration of democracy, the volume discusses the post-war party
system and how it came under increasing pressure from the
mid-1970s. From there it discusses the political upheavals of the
early 1990s and the transformations they led to, the rise and fall
of Silvio Berlusconi, and the watershed election of 2018. In short,
the book provides a narrative. Narratives tell us who we are, where
we have come from, where we are now and where we are going. Without
them, we cannot make sense of the world. At the end of this
narrative, if it has done its job properly, Italian politics and
current affairs should 'make sense' if before they seemed
confusing.

This title was first published in 2000: A guide to the changing
place of political parties within the Italian political system,
seeking to shed light on how the parties operate and their role in
the country's politics. Starting from a recognition of the
traditional centrality of parties in Italian political life, the
book's main focus is on the consequences and causes of the
transformation in the party system which began to unfold from 1989
onwards. Arguing that the latter has its roots in the specific
choices made by the traditional parties as they attempted to adapt
to change in their electoral environment, the book then proceeds to
examine what effects the changing party system is having on such
traditional, "party-driven" features of Italian politics such as
"sottogoverno" and "lotizzazione" and on the functioning of such
institutions as parliament and the executive. The book concludes by
attempting to assess whether parties are still central to political
and civil society or whether their role has diminished in
importance.
