Italy since 1989 : Events and Interpretations

Italy Since 1989 provides an in-depth account of an extraordinary decade in Italian politics. In this revised and updated edition, the authors take the transition to a new Italy as their point of departure, examining the massive changes that the country has recently undergone, and attempting to explain as well as understand the principal events. They provide extensive coverage in particular of the judicial uncovering of bribery and corruption, culminating in an entirely original account of the General Elections of April 1994 and April 1996.
