Abstract

ABSTRACT The political and institutional trajectory of Italy was clearly punctuated by the economic upheavals of the pandemic. The articles in the special issue aim to assess the character of the institutional change prompted by the economic response to the pandemic, and in particular by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), in different policy areas. Three contributions analyse the reform dynamics related to the strategic axis of the Italian NRRP, namely digitalization and innovation (Ottone and Barbieri), the ecological transition (Cotta and Domorenok), and social inclusion as concerns labour-market policies (Tassinari). Two contributions focus on two overarching priorities of the NRRP: gender equality (Donà) and development of southern Italy (Cerruto, Cersosimo and Raniolo). Finally, one contribution focuses on reform of the public administration, which has been identified as a key area, affecting horizontally all missions in the NRRP (Di Mascio, Natalini and Profeti). Overall, the articles in the special issue highlight that the pandemic has been followed by a process of institutional change that occurred both incrementally and unevenly, often disguising substantial continuity.

德拉吉政府受到了国家复苏和弹性计划的考验

意大利的政治和制度轨迹显然被大流行的经济动荡打断了。本期特刊的文章旨在评估在不同政策领域，经济应对大流行病，特别是国家恢复和复原力计划(nrp)所推动的体制变革的特点。三个贡献分析了与意大利NRRP战略轴相关的改革动态，即数字化和创新(Ottone和Barbieri)，生态转型(Cotta和Domorenok)，以及与劳动力市场政策相关的社会包容(Tassinari)。两份报告侧重于新农村重建方案的两项首要优先事项:性别平等(多涅托)和意大利南部的发展(塞鲁托、切尔索西莫和拉尼奥洛)。最后，一项贡献集中于公共行政的改革，这已被确定为一个关键领域，横向影响到北调方案的所有特派团(迪马西奥、纳塔利尼和普罗菲蒂)。总的来说，特刊中的文章强调，在大流行病之后，出现了一个渐进和不均衡的体制变革进程，往往掩盖了实质性的连续性。

期刊介绍： Contemporary Italian Politics, formerly Bulletin of Italian Politics, is a political science journal aimed at academics and policy makers as well as others with a professional or intellectual interest in the politics of Italy. The journal has two main aims: Firstly, to provide rigorous analysis, in the English language, about the politics of what is one of the European Union’s four largest states in terms of population and Gross Domestic Product. We seek to do this aware that too often those in the English-speaking world looking for incisive analysis and insight into the latest trends and developments in Italian politics are likely to be stymied by two contrasting difficulties. On the one hand, they can turn to the daily and weekly print media. Here they will find information on the latest developments, sure enough; but much of it is likely to lack the incisiveness of academic writing and may even be straightforwardly inaccurate. On the other hand, readers can turn either to general political science journals – but here they will have to face the issue of fragmented information – or to specific journals on Italy – in which case they will find that politics is considered only insofar as it is part of the broader field of modern Italian studies[...] The second aim follows from the first insofar as, in seeking to achieve it, we hope thereby to provide analysis that readers will find genuinely useful. With research funding bodies of all kinds giving increasing emphasis to knowledge transfer and increasingly demanding of applicants that they demonstrate the relevance of what they are doing to non-academic ‘end users’, political scientists have a self-interested motive for attempting a closer engagement with outside practitioners.
