225. Italian Politics
An examination of the dramatic changes in contemporary Italian politics that mark the transition to the Second Republic. Through a series of case studies and films, the course will focus on topics such as political culture and the myth of a "backward" Italy, feminism and the "youth question," electoral reforms, immigration, bureaucracy and corruption, the fight against the Mafia, federalism and local government reform, and Italy and the European Union.
