Critical but underpinned by thorough data and analysis, it presents alternative views alongside the author's interpretation. Crucially, the book uses a comparative framework to explain Italy's transformation and evaluate its performance. Comparing the rules, institutions, parties and actors at work in the most important European political systems - France, Germany, Great Britain - with those in Italy, the Italian context is better understood and assessed in contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text will be essential reading for students and scholars of Italian politics and European politics, and more broadly for comparative politics and democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gianfranco Pasquino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113830185X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138301856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Gianfranco Pasquino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087721017599,"sku":"9781138301856","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_496ef0e2-9622-48f0-95fd-1798e7e63134.jpg?v=1769101027","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/italian-democracy-gianfranco-pasquino-9781138301856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
