Abstract
This article explores the development of a municipal welfare state in post-war Milan. Looking at developments from a municipal level has interesting implications for the current historiography of the Italian welfare state which is less attentive to regional variations. The article shows how certain cities were able to develop local provision based on municipal rather than national strategies.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
