  • The Transformation of Italian Democracy
    Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 1, No. 1, 2009, 29-47 The Transformation of Italian Democracy Sergio Fabbrini University of Trento Abstract: The history of post-Second World War Italy may be divided into two distinct periods corresponding to two different modes of democratic functioning. During the period from 1948 to 1993 (commonly referred to as the First Republic), Italy was a consensual democracy; whereas the system (commonly referred to as the Second Republic) that emerged from the dramatic changes brought about by the end of the Cold War functions according to the logic of competitive democracy. The transformation of Italy’s political system has thus been significant. However, there remain important hurdles on the road to a coherent institutionalisation of the competitive model. The article reconstructs the transformation of Italian democracy, highlighting the socio-economic and institutional barriers that continue to obstruct a competitive outcome. Keywords: Italian politics, Models of democracy, Parliamentary government, Party system, Interest groups, Political change. Introduction As a result of the parliamentary elections of 13-14 April 2008, the Italian party system now ranks amongst the least fragmented in Europe. Only four party groups are represented in the Senate and five in the Chamber of Deputies. In comparison, in Spain there are nine party groups in the Congreso de los Diputados and six in the Senado; in France, four in the Assemblée Nationale an d six in the Sénat; and in Germany, six in the Bundestag. Admittedly, as is the case for the United Kingdom, rather fewer parties matter in those democracies in terms of the formation of governments: generally not more than two or three.

  • October 22, 1962 Amintore Fanfani Diaries (Excepts)
    Digital Archive digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org International History Declassified October 22, 1962 Amintore Fanfani Diaries (excepts) Citation: “Amintore Fanfani Diaries (excepts),” October 22, 1962, History and Public Policy Program Digital Archive, Italian Senate Historical Archives [the Archivio Storico del Senato della Repubblica]. Translated by Leopoldo Nuti. http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/115421 Summary: The few excerpts about Cuba are a good example of the importance of the diaries: not only do they make clear Fanfani’s sense of danger and his willingness to search for a peaceful solution of the crisis, but the bits about his exchanges with Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlo Russo, with the Italian Ambassador in London Pietro Quaroni, or with the USSR Presidium member Frol Kozlov, help frame the Italian position during the crisis in a broader context. Credits: This document was made possible with support from the Leon Levy Foundation. Original Language: Italian Contents: English Translation The Amintore Fanfani Diaries 22 October Tonight at 20:45 [US Ambassador Frederick Reinhardt] delivers me a letter in which [US President] Kennedy announces that he must act with an embargo of strategic weapons against Cuba because he is threatened by missile bases. And he sends me two of the four parts of the speech which he will deliver at midnight [Rome time; 7 pm Washington time]. I reply to the ambassador wondering whether they may be falling into a trap which will have possible repercussions in Berlin and elsewhere. Nonetheless, caught by surprise, I decide to reply formally tomorrow. I immediately called [President of the Republic Antonio] Segni in Sassari and [Foreign Minister Attilio] Piccioni in Brussels recommending prudence and peace for tomorrow’s EEC [European Economic Community] meeting.

  • ICRC President in Italy…
    INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS ICRC President in Italy... The President of the ICRC, Mr. Alexandre Hay, was in Italy from 15 to 20 June for an official visit. He was accompanied by Mr. Sergio Nessi, head of the Financing Division, and Mr. Melchior Borsinger, delegate-general for Europe and North America. The purpose of the visit was to contact the Italian authorities, to give them a detailed account of the ICRC role and function and to obtain greater moral and material support from them. The first day of the visit was mainly devoted to discussions with the leaders of the National Red Cross Society and a tour of the Society's principal installations. On the same day Mr. Hay was received by the President of the Republic, Mr. Sandro Pertini. Other discussions with government officials enabled the ICRC delegation to explain all aspects of current ICRC activities throughout the world. Mr. Hay's interlocutors were Mr. Filippo Maria Pandolfi, Minister of Finance; Mr. Aldo Aniasi, Minister of Health; Mrs. Nilde Iotti, Chairman of the Chamber of Deputies; Mr. Amintore Fanfani, President of the Senate; Mr. Paulo Emilio Taviani, Chairman of the Chamber of Deputies' Foreign Affairs Commission and Mr. Giulio Andreotti, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Commission. Discussions were held also with the leaders of the Italian main political parties. On 20 June President Hay, Mr. Nessi and Mr. Borsinger were received in audience by H.H. Pope John-Paul II, after conferring with H.E. Cardinal Casaroli, the Vatican Secretary of State, and H.E. Cardinal Gantin, Chairman of the "Cor Unum" Pontifical Council and of the pontifical Justice and Peace Commission.

Teniendo su base a menudo en conceptos provocativamente agudos, éstos van perdiendo el estimulante in- telectual de la provocación en un ritual de monótonas repeticiones, hasta que acaban convirtiéndose en sentencias aburridas y sin valor —precisamente en tópicos—. La investigación sobre Italia no representa ninguna excepción al respecto. Fundados en la presunta inestabilidad del sistema político y en la frecuencia de los cambios de gobierno, los lugares comunes que se refie- ren a la ingobernabilidad o, mejor dicho, a la «malgobernabilidad» gozan de una publicidad y una longevidad especiales (1).

  • Italy's Atlanticism Between Foreign and Internal
    UNISCI Discussion Papers, Nº 25 (January / Enero 2011) ISSN 1696-2206 ITALY’S ATLANTICISM BETWEEN FOREIGN AND INTERNAL POLITICS Massimo de Leonardis 1 Catholic University of the Sacred Heart Abstract: In spite of being a defeated country in the Second World War, Italy was a founding member of the Atlantic Alliance, because the USA highly valued her strategic importance and wished to assure her political stability. After 1955, Italy tried to advocate the Alliance’s role in the Near East and in Mediterranean Africa. The Suez crisis offered Italy the opportunity to forge closer ties with Washington at the same time appearing progressive and friendly to the Arabs in the Mediterranean, where she tried to be a protagonist vis a vis the so called neo- Atlanticism. This link with Washington was also instrumental to neutralize General De Gaulle’s ambitions of an Anglo-French-American directorate. The main issues of Italy’s Atlantic policy in the first years of “centre-left” coalitions, between 1962 and 1968, were the removal of the Jupiter missiles from Italy as a result of the Cuban missile crisis, French policy towards NATO and the EEC, Multilateral [nuclear] Force [MLF] and the revision of the Alliance’ strategy from “massive retaliation” to “flexible response”. On all these issues the Italian government was consonant with the United States. After the period of the late Sixties and Seventies when political instability, terrorism and high inflation undermined the Italian role in international relations, the decision in 1979 to accept the Euromissiles was a landmark in the history of Italian participation to NATO.

    79 The Idea of Europe at the Origins of the European People’s Party. The Making of the European Manifesto and of the EPP’s Political Programme Jacopo CELLINI The history of an idea. European Christian Democracy and the idea of Europe after the Second World War After the Second World War, Christian Democratic parties (hereinafter, CD parties) of Western Europe had no institutionalized form of party cooperation.1 The frail transnational organisation Secrétariat International des Partis Démocrates d’Inspira- tion Chrétienne (SIPDIC), created in the 1920s, had been dismantled in the early 1930s, when most of its members were forbidden from doing political activity by authoritarian regimes in their home countries. Contacts between Christian Demo- cratic representatives were mostly maintained on a personal and informal level, often by personalities who were forced to live in exile.2 After the war, when political freedom was restored in Western Europe, a new or- ganisation had to be built from scratch. Thanks to the initiative of the Swiss Katholisch- Konservative Partei der Schweiz, the first official meeting between CD parties took place in Lucerne in 1947. Here two main lines confronted each other: the Swiss party, the Italian Democrazia Cristiana (DC) and the Austrian Österreichische Volkspartei (ÖVP) pushed for the creation of a strong International, ideologically consistent and institutionally formalized, while the French Mouvement Républicain Populaire (MRP) and the Belgian Christelijke Volkspartij-Parti Social Chrétien (CVP-PSC) pre- ferred a looser network, impervious to accusations of confessionalism. The second line prevailed, leading to the creation of the Nouvelles Équipes Internationales (NEI), which consisted of individuals or groups (and also political parties) that shared some general principles like a personalist and communitarian view of society, and the pursuit of peace and international cooperation, especially in Europe.

A day before it was released in Brussels, Pierre Werner sent the paper to the other Finance Ministers of the Member States, as a gesture of political courtesy. 2 The plan by stages still had pride of place in political discussions at the time and Werner, as chairman of the ad hoc committee, tirelessly defended the outcome of its work. 3 He raised it, for example, on 15 October with the President of the Commission, Franco Maria Malfatti, 4 who was on a working visit to Luxembourg, and expounded it in Paris 24 hours later at a dinner-debate to which the Cercle de l’Opinion 5 had invited him as guest of honour. To an audience of politicians and journalists, Pierre Werner set out the approach adopted in the report, highlighting the fact that the committee of experts had opted for ‘a middle way which was already indicated by the concept of moving forward by stages, gradually, and was confirmed by the parallel approach to economic development and monetary cooperation, with which political cooperation would align itself at a more advanced stage’.
