First published in 1981 The Italian Communist Party looks at the
debate within the party and how its strategy was forged. It
considers the development of Eurocommunism, the rise and fall of
the Ingrao Left and many other topics related to the formulation of
the PCI. Based on original research by the author, it explores how
key issues were debated and resolved in various representative
provincial organisations of the party. It shows how changing ideals
affected policy and the party’s organisation and how different
attitudes emerged from the diverse social and economic conditions
in the different parts of Italy. This book is an important
historical document for scholars and researchers of Italian
communism, European communism and political studies.
The framework sketched in this new book explains the relationship
between state and capital in Italy as well as some of the major
directions in macroeconomic theory. These fields encompass both
Italy's entry to EMU in 1999 and the impact of Silvio Berlusconi on
Italian politics and economics.
While Italian politics may appear on the surface to be evolving
towards a Westminster model with right- and left-wing blocs
alternating in power, this impression is belied by the often
nervous and disconnected way in which events unfolded in 2005. In
some respects, 2005 was a classic pre-electoral year, in which the
pattern of 2000 repeated itself with the roles of government and
opposition reversed: the center-left coalition scored a decisive
victory in the regional elections in April, provoking a crisis that
ended Silvio Berlusconi's second government, the longest-serving
cabinet since the foundation of the Republic in 1948. Berlusconi
was able to quickly form a new government, and went on to reform
the electoral system in a way that would give him the maximum
advantage in the 2006 general election, and to introduce a series
of policy initiatives geared more to his own re-election than to
real reform. However, while the center-right majority was able to
hold together and the center-left was strengthened by its electoral
victories and the astonishing success of the primaries held to
choose Romano Prodi as its candidate for prime minister, conflict
and divisions persisted within both coalitions, leaving the
prospect of the development of a stable bipolar system in Italy
still in doubt.
