Harsh ideological divisions, chronic executive instability, inefficient bureaucracy, uneven socio-economic development, organized crime, and unbalanced public finances all contributed to this negative perception of the nation. Yet a massive economic and social overhaul was launched in the 1990's as part of Italy's efforts to meet the famous Maastricht requirements in order to join the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). This book examines the processes Italy underwent to become part of the integrated European community and skillfully analyzes the consequences of the "Maastricht process" by exploring the effect it had on governmental and social actions and modes of orientation. Rescued by Europe? offers sharp insights into the importance of welfare state reform to current Berlusconi government, and how the weakening of the European Union's constraints has renewed the resistance to further changes. Ferrera and Gualmini ultimately argue that the constraints and opportunities linked to European integration have been the driving forces behind Italy's positive expansions, yet even with these reforms, there is still a long road ahead for European integration and Italy's political future. 410 0$aChanging welfare states. 606 $aPublic welfare$zItaly 606 $aLabor market$zItaly 607 $aItaly$xSocial policy 607 $aItaly$xEconomic policy$y1976- 607 $aItaly$xPolitics and government$y1945-1976 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPublic welfare 615 0$aLabor market 676 $a331.0945 700 $aFerrera$b Maurizio$0121223 701 $aGualmini$b Elisabetta$0126279 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996465260403316 996 $aRescued by Europe$9749541 997 $aUNISA LEADER 01181nam a2200277 i 4500 001 991003867079707536 005 20020509133442.0 008 960614s1993 it ||| | ita 020 $a882048014X 035 $ab11226328-39ule_inst 035 $aPARLA190134$9ExL 040 $aDip.to scienze storiche$bita 100 1 $aDicken, Peter$034469 245 10$aNuove prospettive su spazio e localizzazione :$ble pił recenti interpretazioni geografiche delL'economia /$cPeter Dicken e Peter Lloyd ; a cura di G.
