- summary: Second, which elements shape mayors’ decisions to adopt (or not) local asylum policies and their policy goals? On the one hand, while this literature has focused on the explanation of the variation and effects of local asylum policy, both the role of mayors’ political affiliations in local pol- icy-making and their motivations and policy goals have been largely ignored.

- summary: Spiller’s (2008) institutional theory of public contracts and Moszoro and Spiller’s (2012) account of public contract rigidity can be used to analyse the strategies adopted by contracting authorities in local public procurement, and in particular to explain the room contracting authorities leave for their own discretionary evaluations in adjudication pro- cedures. The local administrations may design public contract awarding procedures using more or less discretion, according to the like- lihood of receiving legal challenges from third parties.

- summary: We should also consider that the Lega’s best performance at the national level before the leadership of Matteo Salvini, who became leader of the party in December 2013, was far lower than the most recent one – dating back to the 1996 national elections, when 3.8 million people voted for Lega Nord (about 10% of valid votes).

- summary: Banducci and Semetko (2003) found that EU news coverage affects turnout in European elections, while other scholars have shown a correlation between citizens’ support for future European integra- tion and the features of news coverage on the EU (e.g. Maier & Rittberger, 2008; Vliegenthart et al., 2008). EU news coverage also contributes to enhancing the process of Europeanizing national public spheres (e.g. Fossum & Schlesinger, 2007) and strength- ening the legitimacy of the EU institutions (e.g. Trenz, 2008).

- summary: However, Italy still shows limited politi- cization of European integration: parties have developed new strategies on EU issues but citizens’ preferences seem not to be significantly affected by the pro/anti-European di- mension (Carrieri 2019). European elections appear far from being simply sec- ond-order elections, at least according to their original definition.

- summary: Even if M5S representa- tives are less in favour of EU solidarity policies than left-wing parties (apart from the item on subsistence in case of a severe crisis), they tend to be very much attuned to their voters and the general citizenry. The first is a public opinion survey carried out in the autumn of 2016 that evaluates citi- zens’ preferences on EU solidarity.

- summary: Following the 2011 Arab Uprisings, increasing fragmentation in the MENA region, a more ambiguous US role and rising intra-EU divisions have constrained Italian foreign policy in the region. The way in which Italian foreign policy increasingly looks at the Mediterranean region, however, is through the lenses of United States (US) policies and intra-European Union (EU) dynamics.

- flesch: 55
- summary: Many transfor- mations, such as the mediatization of political communication, globalization, and multilevel governance have put a strain on party government, exacerbating the struggle between responsiveness to public opinion and responsibility to domestic and interna- tional systemic constraints (Mair 2011). Quantitatively, two different sources can be used to study Italian budget policy, namely the budget bill (where the government draws its actual spending intentions, later submitted to parliament) and the budget law (approved by the Chambers at the end of the year after the parliamentary session).

- summary: In this regard, Grasso’s words seem to resonate with the opinion of observ- ers and even Senate officials, according to whom the reform would allow a huge number of bills to be examined by committees in a drafting or legislating capacity, thus increas- ing the volume of approved bills (Carboni and Magalotti 2018). Also, PER_INDEX=0.548 implies that the percentage of approved bills over the whole amount of bills in the Senate was almost 55% of the percentage of approved bills over the total amount of bills in the Cham- ber.

Introduction to the Special Issue ‘Italy in Twenty-First Century International Politics’ 4 While considering different aspects of Italian foreign policy and evaluating Italy’s posi- tion in different dimensions of contemporary international politics, the articles of this special issue share a clear and important point. The main aim of these essays is not to advance a theoretical interpretation of Italian foreign policy, a task that has already been successfully achieved by more purely academic initiatives (e.g. Isernia and Longo 2017).

Since candidate selection procedures, list ordering and safe-seat placement are in the hands of political parties, party gatekeeping (Norris and Lovenduski 1995; Kunovich and Paxton 2005; Pansardi and Vercesi 2017) is frequently called into question as one of the main explaining factors of the reproduction of gender differences in political representation.

- summary: In other words, the diagnosis of the state of political science offered by Gabriel Almond (1988) – that political scientists now sit at separate tables and are incapable of, or uninterested in, talking to one another – could be applied to Italian political science as well, where a greater degree of specialization and internationalization has been acquired at the cost of a loss of general relevance and domestic debates. Introduction n this brief contribution I will analyze how Italian political science has adapted to the new opportunities that opened up following the university reform of 2010 (law 240/2010)1 and how it tackled the new challenges that derived from it.

- summary: But while there is enough convincing research on various dimensions of the evolution and reality of Italian political science, there is an analytical gap in grasping how the discipline has been reproducing itself and whether and how its foundational identity has been able to survive external challenges and changes. According to the comparative literature on higher education policy, two factors are specifically relevant to understand the evolution of Italian political science: systemic gov- ernance arrangements and the design of academic career structures.

- summary: On the one hand, when testing for diverse and possible changes in EU attitudes, the results do not appear robust enough, due to the limited number of cases. In this perspective, when policy problems or societal needs are transnational and require coordination at the European level, the EU institutions play a crucial role and EU citizens are likely to recognize their responsibility (Hobolt and Tilley, 2014).

- summary: Furthermore, the degree of approval that party leaders receive from their selectorate – even in the case of ‘coronations’ of a single candidate (Kenig 2008), i.e. with the absence of a formal opponent – is indicative of the extent to which they are in danger of being dis- missed in the near future (Ennser-Jedenastik and Muller2015). In turn, a contested LR (namely a race with more than one candidate running for the leadership) which is also com- petitive (as it ends with very close results between the first two candidates) is more likely to be divisive for the party, which may contribute to further enhancing internal factionalism (Ware 1979; Hazan and Rahat 2010;Wichowsky and Niebler2010).Thus, when LRs are very competitive, we assume that parties are very internally fragmented, and therefore the office of party leader is particularly at stake (H2a).

- summary: Nevertheless, the hypothesis of a gender gap within the parliamentary debate on the NRRP is indeed supported: across party lines a higher pro- portion of women MPs included within the corpus speak in support of gender parity compared to the proportion of men. Campaigns of women’s interest groups over gender equality in the NRRP may indeed further compound the contribution of women policy actors to advo- cating for parity within parliamentary debates.

- summary: If, however, it is straightforward to expect that people who present low levels of institutional trust might present high levels of conspiracism (due to the consistency of the narratives that drive the two attitudes), no research has so far investigated the mechanism behind the relationship between interpersonal trust and beliefs in conspiracy theories. In particular, at higher levels of pandemic stress, the correlation between interpersonal trust and conspiracy is greater, while the opposite is true for the relationship with institutional trust.

- summary: An analysis of Italian migration policies shows how even slightly different changes in migration policies, and more generally in a country’s migration governance, can encom- pass crucial differences for the security of both migrants and the general population. This work claims that small changes in Italian migration policies can crucially affect more general Italian mi- gration governance, which happens not only to be exercised through top-down directives, but also through practices and narratives (Bello 2020b; Panebianco 2020; Léonard and Kaunert 2020b), which heighten the initial effects of migration policies.

- summary: In the Italian political system, after a 20-year bipolar phase that rewarded (and legit- imized) the leader of the winning coalition with the position of prime minister, the arenas of party leadership and communicative-electoral strategies now suffer from an extremely fragmented party system and an increasingly volatile and demotivated electorate, while in the arena of executive activity the process of personalization, just as in all contempo- rary democracies, has meant that the governments formed in Italy in the new millennium have exhibited a clear monocratic tendency1 both in terms of organization and in decision-making processes (Musella 2022). After Renzi’s resignation, due to the failure of the December 2016 constitutional ref- erendum, his foreign minister Paolo Gentiloni became prime minister, leaving the former team of ministers essentially unchanged, with 12 out of 18 ministers remaining the same.

GUARDIANCICH, MADAMA and NATILI 77 conflicts highlighted above, it becomes clear how pensions, which traditionally absorbed the vast majority of Italian social policy resources, have a limited potential to be either retrenched or significantly expanded as institutional change may occur only ‘at the mar- gin’ (Myles and Pierson 2001), vis-à-vis social assistance and family policies.

- summary: Grilli’s comparative analysis of revolutionary bureaucracies goes on to examine these dimensions, given his stated aim to “formulate generalizations about the relations between, on the one hand, the nature of revolutionary change, the characteristics of political mobilization and the type and amount of violence produced; and, on the other, the qualitative and quantitative features of the bureaucracies that emerge (and/or partially survive) in the revolution” (Grilli di Cortona 1991, 29). In the first dimension a distinction is made between political revolutions, which simply transform the political organization of a State, and social revolutions, which over- throw both the political and social organization and entail a broader and deeper change.

- summary: To exclude minor changes, we consider as new parties only those that were not in the previous Parliament with a parliamentary group and reached at least 5% of votes. Recent changes in legislative turnover rates in Italy have been theoretically associated with a couple of conditions: the emergence of new parties, voters’ realignments, chang- ing electoral rules, the decline of mass-based parties, and the change of the multi-level state structure which provides career opportunities to ambitious politicians at other lev- els of government (Lanza and Piazza 2002; Verzichelli 2006; Cotta and Verzichelli 2016: 78, 177; Grimaldi and Vercesi 2018).

- summary: Results highlight the impact of the new electoral institutions, as in 2018 the overall number of Italian candidates and lists has decreased if compared to the 2013 elections. In addition, the population of Italian would-be deputies has become more balanced in terms of gender – though not any younger – and the turnover rate among Italian candidates seems to be somewhat lower than in 2013.

- summary: Moreover, special attention is paid to the two parties supporting the Govern- ment of Change, i.e. the League and the M5S. As more extensively shown in Marino, Martocchia Diodati and Verzichelli (forth- coming), the five mutually-exclusive categories have been formed starting with three MP features1: in particular, each category has been defined by taking into consideration each MP’s experience at the local government level (e.g., having been a mayor, or a re- gional MP), each MP’s career within political parties (e.g., having been part of a central organ of a political formation, like National Direction or a National Executive Office), and, finally, each MP’s parliamentary tenure. On the one hand, other parties show a sub- stantially lower degree of Intruders (in particular, LeU, the PD, and the League).

- summary: Have research assessment exercises in your country been met with enthusiasm and collaboration or with suspicion and resistance? Research assessment exercises introduce a number of potential distortive ele- ments: a) peer-reviewed journal articles tend to be assessed better than edited volumes and monographs, regardless of their real value; b) joint works tend to be preferred over single-authored works, inducing the artificial inflation of multi- author products; c) all other things being equal, works in English attract greater readership and gain higher impact factors than works in national languages, which affects particularly academic communities which do not use English as their first language; d) research assessment rankings of Departments and schol- ars induce ‘gaming strategies’ that create further distortions (strategic hiring, discouragement of teaching, creation of two-tier academic milieus) that do not necessarily secure better scholarship; d) the advantages of creating a culture of as- sessment, peer-review and accountability may be more than offset by the costs, in terms of time and money, of the assessment exercise itself; 4.

- summary: The point being made is simple: although research assessment processes have un- doubtedly incentivized a strong focus on research and publication within higher education, the definition of ‘excellence’ is arguably fairly narrow. The main concluding argument is therefore not about research assessment per sebut about how research assessment is contributing to the break-up of academe and the splin- tering of disciplines along diverging pathways.

For all these reasons, it is difficult to sum up and provide a uniform overall assess- ment of research assessment in France.

- summary: A deeper engagement of Italian political science with gender studies seems urgent first of all on the grounds of an evident delay in acknowledging and taking advantage of the innovation brought by national and international scholarship in this area of research and knowledge. Notwithstanding the problems in dealing with the structure and organization of aca- demic power (Saraceno 1995), there have been developments in theoretical and practice- oriented bodies of knowledge that critically question the accepted paradigms and catego- ries of particular disciplines and promote the affirmation of gender issues in society at large; while new theoretical models and interpretive tools have often emerged from pro- ductive dialogs across disciplines.

The contribution of gender and politics studies to the field of political science and In- ternational Relations has nowadays partially been recognized so that Liza Mügge, Elizabeth Evans and Isabelle Engeli (2016: 2) argue that ‘Gender scholarship is gradually becoming part of mainstream political science, while retaining its distinct identity’.

In a related vein, Carol Mershon and Denise Walsh, editors of a 2016 Dialogue Section on ‘Diversity in the Discipline: why it matters and how to get it’, collected contributions from feminist political science scholars who turn the analytical lenses they usually employ to study politics in the world, such as attitude survey data and intersectional approaches, to research the discipline of politics.

In the chapter on the formation of the executive agenda, Borghetto and Ca- rammia, as part of a larger comparative project on this topic, study the evolving agenda of political parties from the election manifestos right up to the formation of the government’s agenda.

- summary: What emerges from the contributions is a widespread belief that political scientists are somehow marginalized in public debates and political decisions in our country, especially when compared to lawyers and economists: “we find ourselves operating in a cultural tradition that attributes to lawyers pride of place in the management of ‘cosa pub- blica’.” The first theme is the distinctive contributions that political scientists can make in public debate and political processes but also the reverse, i.e. the additional value of expe- riences as public official or consultant to academic work.

- summary: There are several factors that represent significant challenges for the political consulting industry in the years to come, and which could bring the profession to be redefined, once again: momentous technological advances; the extending of campaigning in public affairs and policy consulting; more services and clients from the private industry as an ex- tension of voter/consumer segmentation and innovative approaches developed for political campaigns; the increasing need for continuous campaigning (which usual- ly results in either a long-term and stable work relationship with the elected candidate or a temporary “settling” in institutions until the next electoral cam- paign). Political consultants measure public opinion, target and identify likely voters, craft messages and strategies, design television and print advertisements, build web- sites, and decide how to adapt the overall theme and strategy of the campaign for the digital media formats.

I think voters have become more demanding and are no longer satisfied with slogans: they look for serious interlocutors and political scientists can provide citizens with insights on the political and social reality of our time.

- summary: After completing his PhD in Political Science in the University of Florence in 1995, he undertook research at the Uni- versity of Bologna (Centre for Public Policy Analysis in the Department of Organization and Political System), on projects related to public administration and public policy anal- ysis. This is probably why I went for public policy and public admin- istration studies, and why I have chosen a policy practitioner career.

Both the Lega and the M5S share the idea that Italy should regain its power to decide on economic policies (Pirro 2018, 10) and portray the EU as ‘the locus of real power’ (Albertazzi, Giovannini, and Seddone 2018, 649), a technocratic super- power that constrains nation states from using the necessary means to protect their own sovereign people (Ibid.; Passarelli and Tuorto 2018).

- summary: To this purpose, besides taking into account spe- cific contextual conditions which are key in the bottom-up approach to implementation (such as policy legacy, the local nature of political competition, the relative salience of the issue, as well as the multiple stakes involved in the policy subsystem), attention is paid to the different streams of actors, problems and events that go along with the drafting and execution of local rationalisation plans, eventually triggering subsequent rounds of policy calibration. Furthermore, which drivers accompany the transition from the choice of local solutions, to the implementation of those solutions?

In the Italian case, the annual community act – which largely delegates the implementation of EU directives to the executive – and a reluctant parliament further contributed to that process.
