Rescued by Europe?: Social and Labour Market Reforms in Italy from Maastricht to Berlusconi by Maurizio Ferrera, Elisabetta Gualmini (Paperback, 2004)

About this product

Product Information

As a result of its political and ecomic turmoil for much of the postwar period, Italy was considered the bad seed in the European community. Harsh ideological divisions, chronic executive instability, inefficient bureaucracy, uneven socioecomic development, organized crime, and unbalanced public finances all contributed to this negative perception. Yet a massive ecomic and social overhaul was launched in the 1990s as part of Italy's efforts to meet the famous Maastricht requirements in order to join the Ecomic and Monetary Union (EMU). This book examines those processes and skillfully analyzes their consequences by exploring the effect they had on governmental and social actions. Ferrera and Gualmini ultimately argue that the constraints and opportunities linked to European integration have been the driving forces behind Italy's positive expansions; yet even so, a long road still lies ahead for European integration and Italy's political future.Two of Italy's foremost public policy specialists, Ferrera and Gualmini, are well placed to tell the story of how Italian political elites, long oriented towards buying off opposition and vested interests by expanding a bloated public debt, were finally confronted with reality by EMU membership criteria. Rescued by Europe? is both a fascinating narrative of how governments, employers, and unions responded to the EMU imperatives and an in-depth analysis of how Italy's idiosyncratic labor markets and welfare system function, both for good and ill. - Martin Rhodes, European University Institute, Florence, Italy
