Davidson* On 1 March 2006, Italys centre-right Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi addressed a rare joint session of the United States Congress. Speaking in the midst of a heated domestic electoral campaign, Berlusconi stressed Italys solidarity with the US, which he referred to as ≈ºthe beacon of liberty, of civil and economic progress∆.1 At roughly the same time, Oliviero Diliberto, leader of Italy»s far-left Italian Communist Party (PDCI, Comunisti Italiani), said of Berlusconi»s visit ≈[h]e went there to shake hands that are dripping with blood∆.2 While Berlusconi provided political support for the 2003 Iraq war and his government sent 3,000 Italians to assist the US and its allies after the cessation of formal hostilities, members of the centre-left coalition led by Romano Prodi frequently expressed their view that the Iraq war had been a costly mistake. Given this contrast in statements and positions, many observers were concerned that the April 2006 victory of the centre left * Jason W.

I documenti selezionati si riferiscono alle aree di interesse prioritario per la politica estera italiana, individuate sulla base dei contatti diplomatici tenuti dal Ministro D’Alema, una volta caduto a gennaio il Governo Prodi, nei mesi che hanno preceduto le elezioni, e delle dichiarazioni programmatiche di Franco Frattini, Ministro degli Esteri del nuovo Governo Berlusconi. Europeismo, potenziamento del ruolo dell’Italia in Medio Oriente e rafforzamento delle relazioni transatlantiche sono in primo piano. A queste aree si è ritenuto di aggiungere le Nazioni Unite dove, nonostante il cambio di governo, è proseguito l’attivismo italiano già manifestatosi con Romano Prodi, e i Balcani, regione di tradizionale interesse per il nostro paese, segnata nel febbraio di quell’anno dalla dichiarazione di indipendenza del Kosovo.

The record of the last twenty years shows that most of the expectations about the Second Republic have been turned into nightmares. Rather than a two party system reproducing the Westminster model, the land of Machiavelli – and Guicciardini – has nurtured two highly fragmented coalitions, which have, in the latest national elections, been outplayed by a third pole, the protest movement of Beppe Grillo. The result is a tri-polar system, where a parliamentary majority can only be obtained by pulling together two bitterly antagonistic parties, with very little, if any, governmental stability.

  • 'Veniamo Da Lontano E Andiamo Lontano': the Italian Left and The
    Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 1, No. 2, 2009, 211-32 ‘Veniamo da Lontano e Andiamo Lontano’: The Italian Left and the Problem of Transition Phil Edwards Manchester Metropolitan University Abstract: A key challenge for the Italian Left is the problematic of ‘transition’: the enduring perception that Italy has not yet attained a state of democratic normality. The Left has suffered a series of setbacks and crises since the formation of the Democratic Party (Partito Democratico, PD) in 2007, thanks in large part to the adoption by PD leader Walter Veltroni of a novelty-oriented strategy which failed to address the ‘transition’ agenda. Veltroni’s successor, Pierluigi Bersani, has mobilised a formidable nationwide coalition of support for a more conservative approach, cutting across the ideological divisions which persist within the PD. However, Veltroni’s strategy has created enduring problems for his party, including the effective delegitimation of the far Left; only when this is remedied will a revival of the broader Left, and a successful engagement with the problems of transition, become possible . Keywords: Italian politics, Democratic Party, transition, democratic consolidation, Second Republic, post-Communist parties. Introduction 2009 was a disastrous year for the Italian Left, within and outside the Democratic Party (Partito Democratico, PD). In this paper I relate the difficulties faced by the Italian Left to the short-term effects of Walter Veltroni’s leadership of the PD, and to the longer-term perspective of a ‘transition’ from the First Republic to a state of democratic normality – a perspective closely connected with the prospects for the PD. I argue, firstly, that Veltroni’s strategy as leader was dangerously mistaken, causing long- term damage to the prospects of the Left and the PD itself.

    ItPol99_all 10/11/00 10:49 am Page 21 1 INTRODUCTION: THE FALTERING TRANSITION Mark Gilbert and Gianfranco Pasquino Unravelling the knots of Italian politics was as elusive a task as ever in 1999. But the key thread, if anywhere, is to be found in the interwoven themes of the creation of the D’Alema government in October 1998 (and its subsequent political fall-out), the difficulty of reforming the electoral law, and hence the hyperfragmented party system, and the short, sharp crisis of the D’Alema cabinet just before Christmas 1999. Short though the crisis was, it jumbled up politics once more and left new loose ends that will gradually unwind themselves in the coming year. Political Jostling Having become prime minister as the result of a traditional bout of parliamentary plotting,1 D’Alema spent most of the first half of 1999 beating off the sustained and insistent attacks on his leader- ship launched by the deposed former premier, Romano Prodi, and his supporters. Even after Prodi had been nominated to the Presi- dency of the European Commission on 24 March 1999, the Demo- cratici per Prodi (Democrats), which adopted a somewhat Disneyesque donkey as their electoral symbol, continued to jab at D’Alema from a distance.

Pierfrancesco Sacco, Capo dell'Unità di Analisi, Programmazione e Documentazione Storico-Diplomatica) - Composizione del Governo Prodi - Cronologia dei principali avvenimenti concernenti l'Italia - Discorsi generali di politica estera - Aree di interesse prioritario per la politica estera italiana: 1) Unione Europea 2) Medio Oriente 3) ONU 1 INTRODUZIONE Sono lieto di presentare il nuovo volume della collana "Testi e Documenti", curato dall'Unità di Analisi, Programmazione e Documentazione Storico-Diplomatica della Segreteria Generale del Ministero degli Affari Esteri e relativo all'anno 2007. Questa pubblicazione si presenta in una veste del tutto rinnovata rispetto alle precedenti edizioni: nel realizzarla si è dovuto infatti tenere conto di una sensibile riduzione delle risorse umane e finanziarie disponibili per l'opera. Nonostante le oggettive difficoltà, si è ritenuto utile lasciare al pubblico interessato una traccia dei principali avvenimenti della politica estera attuata dal Governo italiano nel 2007. Individuate le tre aree di prioritario interesse per il nostro Paese nell'anno in parola - rafforzamento dell'Unione Europea, potenziamento del ruolo dell'Italia nel Mediterraneo e in Medio Oriente, maggiore attivismo in ambito ONU -, si è quindi deciso di creare un volumetto che, pur essendo sicuramente più "snello" dei precedenti, raccoglie discorsi e comunicati stampa relativi all'impegno italiano, sia al livello bilaterale che nei contesti multilaterali, nei tre predetti campi d'azione. Analogo criterio di selezione degli argomenti, e quindi dei relativi documenti, verrà seguito anche per i volumi della collana che saranno pubblicati negli anni a venire.

    Lusi, cadono tutti dal pero Fabio Chiusi, L'Espresso, 02 febbraio 2012 Luigi Lusi ha ammesso di aver sottratto 13 milioni di euro dai bilanci della Margherita.
