Review Quotes:
"This book offers new perspectives in the analysis of the ways in which domestic politics and foreign policy are connected. Its implications therefore extend far beyond the single case-Italy-on which it is based, making it essential reading for comparativists and international relations scholars generally." --Leonardo Morlino, Former President, International Political Science Association (IPSA)
"This book provides a variety of insights into the new role acquired by Italy in the post-cold war world. Commendably, it examines the country not only with regard to the Atlanticism-Europeanism dichotomy but also in terms of its action in various areas of the world." --Alberta M. Sbragia, University of Pittsburgh "In tackling its problems, in the now overlapping spheres of domestic and foreign policy, Italy needs an ever more developed and sophisticated public debate. Academic work is not the only source of ideas and information, but its long-term contribution to the knowledge community is indispensable. The essays in this book are a most welcome sign of the interest in Italian foreign policy to be found among the younger generation of International Relations scholars and of the expertise they can bring to bear." --Christopher Hill, University of Cambridge
