Yet of all the major European states Italy is the least understood and studied. This book provides the only up-to-date survey of the Italian political scene during the forty years since World War II. It describes the inner-dynamics of the political parties, the day-to-day functioning of the governing institutions, and the interaction of the country's economic, social, and political life. It shows how a political system, riven with difficulties and seemingly in a continual crisis, survives and prospers - in some ways more successfully than its purportedly better-governed neighbours. Based on the authors' first-hand observations of Italian politics, the book offers a valuable insight into a subtle and complex, but fascinating political world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51941686182176,"sku":"NEW0521315115","price":53.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/italy-a-difficult-democracy-a-survey-of-italian-politics-0521315115","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
