Italy and the European Union
Introduction to the book by the author Federiga Bindi
Abstract
Federiga Bindi provides, for the first time, an in-depth analysis of Italy’s role within the European Union (EU) in this inaugural volume of a book series published jointly by the Brookings Institution Press and the Scuola Superiore della Pubblica Amministrazione (Italian National School of Public Administration, or SSPA). Italy and the European Union relates in detail the historical, cultural, and sociological factors that have led to Italy’s incomplete “Europeanization,” or full integration, within the EU. It also brings the reader up-to-date on the steps taken by the country’s leaders to improve Italy’s standing and become a more effective member in the organization it helped to found.
