Italian Regionalism and the Federal Challenge : Reconciling Economic Regionalism and Solidarity, Hardback Book

Italian Regionalism and the Federal Challenge : Reconciling Economic Regionalism and Solidarity Hardback

Part of the Federalism and Internal Conflicts series

Hardback

Description

This monograph thoroughly illustrates the debate on federalism and regionalism as it emerged in Italy in the years preceding the unification of 1861 and then again in the early 1990s, a debate mainly centred on the deep socio-economic differences between the North and the South of the country.

Torn between centripetal and centrifugal forces, the Italian regional model implemented with the 1948 constitution and strengthened in 2001 provokes questions that intersect with topical debates engaging scholars globally, potentially stimulating  comparative discussions.

While the future of Italian regionalism remains unclear, the Italian regional model combines lessons coming from different theoretical experiences, including federalism, sub-state nationalism, and the European unification process, representing  a novel experiment fashioned by those who were looking for a compromise between unitary and federal schemes.
