'Italian Politics provides a comprehensive, articulated, convincing
assessment of the new political system in Italy ... It provides and
makes readily available to fellow Italian politics scholars a
wealth of data ... The book is both intellectually sophisticated
and historically detailed. The argument that the authors present is
effectively supported by the data presented in the text, without
being merely data-driven. Data are never presented without being
properly contextualized. The authors' attentiveness to historical
details ... testifies not only to an almost encyclopaedic knowledge
of Italian politics but also to a profound understanding of it. Its
analytic merits, its sophistication, its attention to details and
its wealth of data make Italian Politics a must read for all
Italian politics scholars.'
