Matteo Renzi
Matteo Renzi Italia, Primer ministro Duración del mandato: 22 de Febrero de 2014 - En funciones Nacimiento: Florencia, región de Toscana, 11 de Enero de 1975 Partido político: PD Profesión : Comercial de marketing ResumenEl 22 de febrero de 2014 asumió la presidencia del Consejo de Ministros de Italia Matteo Renzi, el recién elegido líder del gobernante Partido Democrático (PD) y desde 2009 alcalde de Florencia. Con 39 años el más joven primer ministro en la historia del país transalpino y sin experiencia en la gestión pública nacional, Renzi, cuyos atributos más señalados son la desenvoltura mediática, la absoluta confianza en sus posibilidades reformistas y, según sus propias palabras, una "ambición desmesurada", ha coronado su fulgurante ascenso al poder en un movimiento desarrollado en dos tiempos. Así, primero, en diciembre de 2013, conquistó la Secretaría Nacional del PD, poniendo fin al período de interinidad abierto por la renuncia de Pier Luigi Bersani, el frustrado aspirante a jefe de Gobierno tras las elecciones de febrero y al que había disputado sin éxito la elección primaria de 2012. Luego, al cabo de dos meses, el síndico florentino no vaciló en desautorizar al primer ministro Enrico Letta, colega del partido y, como él, procedente de su ala popular- católica, centrista -diferente de la tradición socialdemócrata, ex comunista-, acusándole de pasividad reformista, obligándole a dimitir y arrebatándole el cargo con el concurso del presidente de la República, Giorgio Napolitano.Renzi se ha hecho con el timón de Italia apoyado en una coalición mayoritaria que además de su partido componen los nuevos centroderechistas de Angelino Alfano, los centristas liberales de Elección Cívica y los democristianos de la Unión de Centro.

Europe and the Vanishing Two-State Solution
EUROPE AND THE VANISHING TWO-STATE SOLUTION Nick Witney ABOUT ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values-based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: •A pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over two hundred Members – politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries – which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Martti Ahtisaari, Joschka Fischer and Mabel van Oranje. • A physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Sofia and Warsaw. In the future ECFR plans to open an office in Brussels. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • A distinctive research and policy development process. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to advance its objectives through innovative projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR’s activities include primary research, publication of policy reports, private meetings and public debates, ‘friends of ECFR’ gatherings in EU capitals and outreach to strategic media outlets. ECFR is a registered charity funded by the Open Society Foundations and other generous foundations, individuals and corporate entities.

Governo Italiano
Biografia del Presidente del Consiglio Matteo Renzi Matteo Renzi nasce a Firenze nel gennaio 1975 e cresce a Rignano sull’Arno. Fin da giovanissimo vive l’esperienza scout, di cui si porterà dietro la voglia di giocare e di “lasciare il mondo un po’ migliore di come l’abbiamo trovato” (Baden Powell). Questo impegno segna fortemente anche gli anni del liceo, il “Dante” di Firenze, dove Matteo diventa rappresentante di istituto. Da studente universitario della Facoltà di Giurisprudenza contribuisce alla nascita dei “Comitati per Prodi”: è il suo primo impegno in politica. Lavora come dirigente nell’azienda di famiglia che si occupa di servizi di marketing, mentre prosegue l’impegno scout, come capo della branca R/S e come caporedattore della rivista “Camminiamo insieme”. Nel settembre del 1999 sposa Agnese, studentessa di Lettere, oggi insegnante nei licei fiorentini, e si laurea in Giurisprudenza con la tesi “Firenze 1951-1956: la prima esperienza di Giorgio La Pira Sindaco di Firenze”. È autore con altri del libro “Mode – Guide agli stili di strada e in movimento” e di “Ma le giubbe rosse non uccisero Aldo Moro”, insieme a Lapo Pistelli. Nel frattempo è segretario provinciale del Ppi e coordinatore de La Margherita fiorentina. Nel 2004 viene eletto Presidente della Provincia di Firenze: durante il suo mandato riduce le tasse in Provincia, taglia i costi dell’Ente e aumenta gli investimenti in cultura e ambiente. Nel 2008 decide di mettersi di nuovo in gioco: rifiuta la proposta del centrosinistra di candidarsi per un secondo mandato da Presidente della Provincia e il 29 settembre annuncia la sua candidatura alle primarie del Partito Democratico per la corsa a Sindaco di Firenze, con lo slogan “O Cambio Firenze o cambio mestiere e torno a lavorare”.

PLAYING with FIRE Italy, China, and Europe
THE NEW GEOPOLITICS MAY 2020 EUROPE PLAYING WITH FIRE Italy, China, and Europe GIOVANNA DE MAIO BROOKINGS – ROBERT BOSCH FOUNDATION TRANSATLANTIC INITIATIVE PLAYING WITH FIRE Italy, China, and Europe GIOVANNA DE MAIO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The most significant event for Italian foreign policy in 2019 was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China endorsing the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which marked a break in the ranks of G-7, raising important concerns from Washington that Italy would become an entry point for Chinese influence in Europe. In reality, Chinese investment in Italy’s key industries, including energy and telecommunications, has been growing since 2013. Chinese foreign direct investment in Italy is also significantly lower than in other major European economies such as Germany and France, which have not endorsed the BRI but have secured important trade and investment deals with Beijing. Due to Italy’s difficulties in attracting investment because of high taxation and bureaucracy (among other factors), Italy’s decision to sign the MoU on the BRI is an attempt to gain advantages over its European competitors to attract Chinese investment and address longstanding economic stagnation. On top of these existing issues, the devastating economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (a 9.1% drop in GDP for 2020 is forecast by the International Monetary Fund) risks pushing Italy further into China’s arms. There are indeed mechanisms on both national and European levels to protect against foreign investment in strategic sectors, while different views on China in the Italian political landscape have led to more decisive actions to restrict the development of a 5G wireless network through Chinese technology.
