Abstract

ABSTRACT This article uses the concept of policy polarisation to understand the short and conflictual life of the Conte I cabinet which remained in office in Italy from June 2018 to September 2019. We show how policy polarisation in parliament and between coalition parties shaped the formation and termination of the so-called ‘government of change’. When investigating the implementation of the government agenda, we also assess the role of the coalition contract as an (ineffective) institutional solution to problems stemming from policy divisions between the Five Star Movement and the Lega. We argue that, despite some policy accomplishments of the government, the Five Star Movement-Lega coalition appears more as a temporary experiment, whose legacy may not represent a new course of action.
意大利的政策两极分化:“变革政府”的短暂和冲突生活(2018-2019)
本文运用政策两极分化的概念来理解2018年6月至2019年9月在意大利执政的Conte I内阁短暂而冲突的生活。我们展示了议会和联合政党之间的政策两极分化如何塑造了所谓的“变革政府”的形成和终止。在调查政府议程的执行情况时,我们还评估了联合政府合同作为一种(无效的)制度性解决方案的作用,这种解决方案源于五星运动党和联盟党之间的政策分歧。我们认为,尽管政府在政策上取得了一些成就,但五星运动-联盟党联盟更像是一个暂时的实验,其遗产可能并不代表新的行动方针。
