    ACES THE EUROPEAN UNION CENTER OF EXCELLENCE AUGUST2009 ITALY AND THE EU IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Federiga Bindi ITALY AND THE EU IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE FEDERIGA BINDI Introduction This paper will deal with relations between Italy and the European Communities in a historical perspective. It will take into consideration both exogenous and endogenous variables. As regards the exogenous, relations with the United States are of particular relevance. As for the endogenous, the focus will be on the way political parties have perceived the process of European integration. Here, one can distinguish three periods: from the·origins to the late 1970s; from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s and from the mid 1990s to today. The first period was characterized by the opposition of the left to European and Atlantic integration, on the basis of ideological contraposition; the second witnessed a shared consensus by all political parties on integration - especially European; in the latest period, domestic political divisions at times lead parties to oppose European integration. The end of WW/l At the end ofWWII the leaders of the main Italian parties- th~ Christian Democrat Alcide De Gasperi, the Communist Palmiro Togliatti and the Socialist Pietro Nenni - united to form a coalition government, lead by De Gasperi, which lasted from the end of 1945 to June 1947. The greatest institutional problem it had to confront, in 1946, was the future of the monarchy. 2 On June 2, 1946, the monarchy was abolished by a popular referendum; the new Republican Constitution was then promulgated (January 1, 1948). However, Italian domestic developments were also to be influenced by events taking place on an international leveL Already prior to the formal end of hostilities, Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt had met in order to try to outline possible post-war scenarios.

    Italian Domestic Politics: Constraint, Opportunity, or Scapegoat for the Country's European Policy? Paper for the ASPSA Conference, Boston 28-31 August 2008 Conference Group on Italian Politics and Society Panel 1: Italy in Transition: The Long Path to a Second Republic Federiga Bindi, PhD Visiting Fellow Center on the United States and Europe, The Brookings Institution, Washington DC [email protected] 202-2383605 cell 202-2558820 Jean Monnet Chair in European Political Integration Director, Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, University of Rome Tor Vergata [email protected] Introduction Italian foreign policy since WWII has been based on four pillars, each responding to one or more domestic needs: - European integration: undoubtedly the major pillar of the Italian foreign policy – which initially responded to the need to secure the country’s newly formed democratic institutions, ensure economic reconstruction and, last but not least, allow the definitive reinsertion of Italy on the international stage. - Atlantic integration: the other main pillar of Italian foreign policy, initially ensuring economic reconstruction (the Marshall Plan) but essentially allowing Italy to maintain low defense expenditures. - USSR / Russia: good relations with Moscow were initially needed domestically to contain the left parties’ (Socialists and Communists) opposition to European integration and to Transatlantic relations. As time passed, Russia also became a major energy provider for Italy, as it is today. - The Mediterranean / Middle East: this is a natural endeavor for Italy, given its geographic position, as well as major energy suppliers. More recently they also emerged a source of possible domestic instability due to the illegal flows of immigration.

  • Aces the European Union Center of Excellence
    ACES THE EUROPEAN UNION CENTER OF EXCELLENCE AUGUST2009 The Italian Parliament and the EU: a slow and gradual Europeanization Federiga Bindi (· ' I The Italian Parliament and the EU: a slow and gradual Europeanization Federiga Bindi In this paper we discussed how the literature traces a growing involvement of the national parliaments in EU policy-making. Three phases can be distinguished: limited or no involvement was the trend nntil the 1980s; after the Single Act (SEA, 1987), national parliaments started to be interested in European affairs and to set up specialized committees; following the Maastricht Treaty (TUE, 1992), the involvement of national parliaments in EU affairs became a response to the question of"democratic deficit" in the EU (Norton, 1995). The growing number of policies dealt with at the EU level, the consequently increased influence ofEU law in nationallegislations, the new powers of the Union: all of these worked together to push national legislators to seek a scrutiny role in the drafting of EU legislation. According to Laprat (1995: I), once the TUE was formally approved, a more parliamentary climate prevailed. In more recent years, national parliaments have distinguished themselves for their increased role in the scrutiny of EU legislation (Raunio and Hix, 200I: !52); more specialized MPs sit in the committees on EU affairs; the amount of work for EU specialists has increased. Also, parliamentary scrutiny, initially only optional and ex post, is now increasingly ex ante and/or mandatory (Maurer and Wessels, 200I: 425-475). Also, though national parliaments are not mentioned in the first ten paraconstitutional articles of the TUE, they are now the object of various specific Declarations and Protocols: Declaration 13 and I 4, attached to the Maastricht Treaty, and most of the Protocol on the 2 Role ofNational Parliaments, attached to the Amsterdam Treaty (1996), focus on the role of national parliaments.

  • Chronology of Italian Political Events, 2015
    Chronology of ItalIan PolItical EvEnts, 2015 Compiled by Rinaldo Vignati January 2 Controversy regarding the Rome city police: 83 percent were absent due to illness on New Year’s Day. Marianna Madia, the minister of public administration, announces “disciplinary action.” 3 There is much debate caused by one clause in the fiscal decree introduced at Christmas: some believe that it may wipe clean Silvio Berlusconi’s record. 4 Government’s U-turn on the “Save Berlusconi” decree. Prime Min- ister Matteo Renzi calls for the decree to go back to the Council of Ministers. 7 The “Italicum” (which introduces a reform to the electoral system) is discuused in the Senate. In the Chamber of Deputies, Maria Elena Boschi, the minister of reforms, declares that “the imple- mentation of the new law will be postponed to 2016.” 11 Renzi, along with about 40 heads of state and of government from around the world, takes part in the march held in Paris in response to the terrorist attacks of the previous days. Center-left primaries are held in Liguria.
