Vol 86, No 1 (2023): The 2022 Italian general election

The special issue on the 2022 Italian general election, edited by Arianna Giovannini, Marco Valbruzzi, and Davide Vampa, argues that the election continues a 'new political normal' in Italy, characterized by volatility and the rise of populist ideas. The issue covers various aspects such as pre-election strategies, the growth of far-right parties in a European context, and the moderate initial governance of the winning party, Meloni's Fratelli d'Italia. Overall, the election is seen as a continuation rather than a radical change, fitting within broader trends in Italy and Europe.
