From the vantage point of 2017, would Italian political history of the past twenty-five years look substantially different had Berlusconi not had the high-profile role in it that he did? Asking the question makes it possible to contribute to a broader debate of recent years concerning the significance of leaders in post-Cold War democratic politics. Having considered Berlusconi's legacy in the areas of political culture, voting and party politics, public policy and the quality of Italian democracy, the book concludes by considering the international significance of the Berlusconi phenomenon in relation to the recent election of Donald Trump, with whom Berlusconi is often compared. --. 606 $aPoliticians$zItaly$vBiography 606 $aPolitics$2mup 606 $aBiography: Historical, Political & Military$2bicssc 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political$2bisach 607 $aItaly$xPolitics and government$y1994- 608 $aBiografie. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aItalian politics. 610 $aSilvio Berlusconi. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $aleadership. 610 $amass media. 610 $aparties. 610 $apolitical culture. 610 $apolitical parties. 610 $apopulism. 610 $avoting. 615 0$aPoliticians 615 7$aPolitics 615 7$aBiography: Historical, Political & Military 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political 676 $a945.0929 700 $aNewell$b James$01277026 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795543703321 996 $aSilvio Berlusconi$93730830 997 $aUNINA
