Place and New Right Politics

The purpose of this paper is to exemplify an ideological articulation between a movement constructing a place and neo-liberalism and to relate it with perspective of new Right, hegemonic ideology in contemporary politics. Neo-liberalism promotes globalization and extends logic of market to social. The approach of this paper is discourse analysis, referring to problematic of critical geopolitics, centered on political geography since early 1990s. Its major agenda is to clarify connections between geographical representations and power in politics.The subject of analysis is discourse of Lega Nord (Northern League), which is one of major political parties in Italy. Its fundamental claim is to bring autonomy to regions in northern Italy. In 1996, Lega began to represent almost whole of northern as Padania and to seek secession from Italy.In context of rise of this movement, there was a process of transformation from Welfare State to neo-liberal state in Italy. While mechanism of political representation was brought down in early 1990s due to corruption in traditional popular parties, an economic crisis, changing subjectivities and so on, already in 1980s small firms of Post-Fordist mode of production, a so-called third Italy, in northern and central had developed rapidly. The Lega succeeded in representing such small firms especially in a rural and local area near Alps, as so-called Pedemontania. In 1996, also being affected by external constraint of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) of Europe, reforms of Italian Welfare State, for example, federal reforms, deregulation, and fiscal reforms, were important and pressing problems.In this context, geopolitics of Lega Nord is to change meaning of northern from Italy to namely to Europe. First, as a populist party, Lega Nord represents excluded from political decisions by political class and bureaucratic elites, against (welfare) state. It then proposes that all political-economic difficulty in derives from southern Italy. Therefore, it argues that North should secede from South, and that only North should enter EMU. Second, Lega defines what place Padania is. Padania articulates chiefly three elements: North, localism, and Europe. The Lega describes new history and geography of Padania. According to Lega, the people of Padania, who respect laws, moral norms, and value of work, constitute local and autonomic communities.Such a Padania in 1996 was a neo-liberal place. It was place for economic activities and social integration of neo-liberalism that took no account of political. After however, Lega Nord increasingly became more conservative and more xenophobic, focusing on theme of immigration outside EU. As a far right party, it began to take a strong attitude towards globalization and EU, claiming that cultural differences must be protected. Thus, Padania had become a closed place. Consequently, popularity of Lega declined sharply in some elections, even in its strongholds. Such a process of shifting position exemplifies that articulation, a characteristic of new Right, between neo-liberalism and neo-conservatives, is unstable and contradictory.

The Carabinieri Stood by: The Italian State and the “Slavic Threat” in 1919–1922

On 2 August 1919 in the Upper Adriatic port city of Trieste (as it was called in Italian) or Trst (as it was referred to in Slavic languages), nationalist youths harassed socialist children returning from a group outing. The incident escalated into a riot. Police opened fire, and one nationalist was killed. On 12 July 1920, a nationalist mob incited by Fascists looted and burned Narodni Dom, the Slovene cultural center. The carabinieri, Italy's state police, collaborated in the attack, or at the very least stood by and watched as the building was torched using gasoline obtained from the nearby barracks. The next day, Italian nationalist demonstrators torched the Croatian-managed Adriatic Bank. Police at the scene stood on the sidelines and watched the bank burn. In the autumn of 1920, Fascist squads attacked a funeral procession mourning a socialist worker killed in a general strike. The socialists erected barricades in the streets of the San Giacomo quarter, a working class neighborhood. Police leveled the undefended barricades and intimidated the quarter's residents during a house-to-house search. In 1921, a firebomb exploded in the offices of Il Lavoratore, the local socialist newspaper. Police watched the premises burn. In all five instances, the forces of public security in Trieste stood by, unable or unwilling to stem violence and restore order in the city newly annexed to Italy from the Habsburg empire. The Italian liberal authorities officially disavowed mistreatment of ethnic minorities and members of the political opposition, but they found themselves unable to deal effectively with the clash among ethnic groups and political parties precipitated by the transfer of the territory to Italian sovereignty. They sympathized with those adopting extra-legal and violent strategies that they perceived as useful to further state political agendas and promote assimilation, or at least quiescence, of the border population.

Stato di salute degli italiani e prospettive di spesa sanitaria e farmaceutica

In december 2000 the Italian National Institute of Statistics (INSTAT) published some extracts from the latest statistical survey about the state of health and the resort to medical services in Italy. The research is based on a sample of 52.300 italian families. Since 1980 the average lifetime in Italy grew five years longer: today the average expectancy for a man is 76 years old, and for a woman is 82 years old. All these deep demographic transformations involve an important increase in the chronic-degenerative pathologies. This rise will take up a great deal of public and private health resources. The most frequent chronic-degenerative pathologies are arthrosis or arthritis (18% of italian people) and the high blood pressure (11,5%). After the age of 45, the chronic-degenerative pathologies show a clear growth: some diseases are prevalent in women (e.g. osteoporosis), other prevail in men (e.g. chronic brochitis and stomach ulcer). To better understand the intensity of the resort to medical services, the statistical survey also consider the perception of the health state in Italy. The overall analysis show that the drug consumption (and the health resources consumption generally) is based on a complexity of social and cultural elements; therefore in some particular areas the control of the medical expenditure is more diffucult then in others.

Assessing the impact of demographic ageing on the welfare state in Italy

The Italian demographic evolution shows a significant ageing of the population due to declining fertility levels and increasing life expectancy. In comparison with other European Union countries, Italy has the lowest total fertility rate and very low levels of higher education and young-age em­ ployment rates. The consequences of these sociodemographic trends will be a very high proportion of dependent population relative to the population in the labour force. These trends are supposed to influence the future evolution of the age-related expenditures: pensions, health care and education. In this paper we try to forecast the share of social expenditure on GDP using a dynamic simulation model which takes into account both macroeconomic and sociodemographic interrelationships. A multi state demographic projection model is linked to an overlapping generation model describing the macroeconomic equilibrium. The results show that around 2030 there will be a peak in the social expenditure ratio causing the need for further reforms in the social security and health care system.

Bastardy and Legitimacy in the Formation of a Regional State in Italy: The Estense Succession

In Italy during the Renaissance, an age that conjures up open systems of succession and ruthless dynastic struggle, the House of Este stood out for its singular succession practices. For almost one hundred and fifty years, illegitimately born Estense princes held office. Pope Pius II (r. 1458–64) marvelled:It is an extraordinary thing about that family that within our fathers' memory no legitimate heir has ever inherited the principate; the sons of their mistresses have been so much more fortunate than those of their wives. It is a circumstance contrary not only to Christian custom but to the law of almost all nations.

Law and Jurists in the Formation of the Modern State in Italy

It is common practice for historians to begin their papers by lamenting the insufficiency of existing research. I also wish to do that-and not just as a rhetorical expedient. The question of the formation of the modem state in Italy first of all involves constitutional issues and issues concerning the organization of institutions. This subject requires juridical expertise. So far, Italian juridical historiography has not dealt with it in an exhaustive way.1 Nevertheless, to understand and define the economic, political, and social transformations that took place between the fourteenth and the sixteenth centuries, the role played by law and by jurists must be analyzed.2 The European history of the early modem period, like the history of any other period, has underlying cultural structures.3 People interpret, organize, and live their experience through cultural structures, which give meaning to the data and make them comprehensible and communicable to others. These structures do not just reflect the existing social situation. Made up of shared values, myths, and communicative and linguistic symbols, these structures determine customs, actions, and behavior. Jurisprudence has a place among the myths and values of the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. It has a central role in the anthropology of European history. It is not an artificial phenomenon, a superstructure of society. It does not appear post factum to legitimize already established situations, to disguise interests and mediate
