Italy in the Post-Cold War Order: Adaptation, Bipartisanship, Visibility

Italy in the Post-Cold War Order: Adaptation, Bipartisanship, Visibility, edited by Maurizio Carbone, explains the evolution of Italy’s foreign relations since the end of the Cold War. By integrating international and domestic factors, this collection shows how the transition from a bipolar into a unipolar/multipolar world order and the changes in its domestic political context has provided Italy with new opportunities, such as pursuing its commercial and political interests more autonomously, as well as new responsibilities, such as actively contributing to solving international crises and addressing new global threats.

Maurizio Carbone is the Jean Monnet Chair and Director of the Scottish Jean Monnet Centre of European Excellence. He is also Director of Postgraduate Taught Programmes and a senior lecturer in the School of Social and Political Studies at the University of Glasgow.
