The event, entitled "Visti Da Fuori: Politics and Society in Italy as seen from abroad", has been organised in collaboration with LaPolis (Centre for Political and Social Studies), and will be hosted by the Department of Economic, Society and Politics. The conference will include an introduction by Ilvo Diamanti (director of LaPolis and Professor of Political Science), a keynote speech by the former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta, as well as contributions from leading international academics, political commentators, think-tanks, journal editors, and journalists.
All the members of the IPSG executive committee will participate in the event, and will give presentations based on their current research, looking at issues such as the EU enlargement, decentralisation and regionalism, political parties, party systems and anti-politics. Their contributions aim at emphasising the importance of comparative analysis in furthering public awareness of political science, and the role of area expertise in supporting this. Such endeavour reflects the groups' objective of promoting the study of Italian politics not simply from a single-country perspective, but in a wider, international context.
A full programme for the day (in Italian) is available below.
