"La NATO e l'Italia"

12/16/2021

 

Ho contribuito alla ricerca “Verso un nuovo Concetto strategico della NATO. Prospettive e interessi dell’Italia” (a cura di G.Natalizia e L.Termine) per l'Osservatorio di Politica Internazionale (Camera dei Deputati, Senato della Repubblica e Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione, dicembre 2021). Il mio capitolo si intitola "La NATO e l'Italia". Nell’intricata strada verso il nuovo Concetto strategico della NATO mi sono interrogato rispetto alle prospettive, alle esigenze e agli interessi (ancora mal definiti) dell’Italia

"A sovereignist revolution? Italy’s foreign policy under the 'Yellow–Green' government"

10/23/2021

 

My latest paper is online (and in open access): "A sovereignist revolution? Italy’s foreign policy under the 'Yellow–Green' government". Here the link to read the paper. The manuscript is part of a Special Issue on Comparative European Politics on populism and foreign policy. Here below the abstract:
In Italy, the Five Star Movement (M5S) and the Northern League (LN) formed a coalition government after the legislative elections of March 2018. What has been the actual impact of the populist executive in the Italian foreign policy? Relying on the (few) existing analyses that have developed specific hypotheses on the expected international repercussions of populist parties-ruled governments, the paper examines Italy’s foreign policy under the Italian “Yellow–Green” cabinet (June 2018–August 2019). The manuscript advances three hypotheses. First, the foreign policy of the Conte’s government has been featured by a personalistic and a centralized decision-making process. Second, the Yellow-Green executive has adopted a vocal confrontational stance on the world stage, especially within multilateral frameworks, to “take back control” over national sovereignty. Third, such sovereignist foreign policy was largely symbolic because of “strategic” populist attitudes toward public opinion and due to domestic and international constraints. The manuscript—which is based on secondary and primary sources, such as interviews with former ministers, MPs, and diplomats—aims at offering a new perspective on populist parties and foreign policy, alimenting the rising debate on foreign policy change.

Italian Foreign Policy: Still the Days Seem the Same?

8/30/2021

 

Glad to be part of this amazing volume: "Foreign Policy Change in Europe Since 1991", edited by Jeroen K. Joly and Tim Haesebrouck. My chapter (co-authored with Valerio Vignoli and titled "Italian Foreign Policy: Still the Days Seem the Same?") assesses Italian FP evolution since the end of the Cold War, investigating drivers (and inhibitors) of change in defense policy, aid, bilateral and multilateral relations.

Parlamenti e controllo dell'uso della forza

7/4/2021

 

Sono contento di aver partecipato al volume curato dal Prof. Panebianco "Democrazia e sicurezza. Società occidentali e violenza collettiva". Ho scritto un capitolo su "Parlamenti e controllo dell'uso della forza", esaminando lo stato dell'arte della (crescente) letteratura sul tema e focalizzandomi sui casi (molto diversi) di Italia e Germania.
