Description: Detailing the period from the Second World War to the present, Italy Today provides unique insights into the dynamics of a country which emerged from a ravaged, post-war agrarian society. Italy is now a technological leader in competition with France to become the fourth largest industrialized country in the Western World.

This volume examines the influence of a broad range of subjects such as political institutions, parliament, women, youth, the media, the Church, and trade unions on Italian history and culture. Divided into three major sections devoted to an analysis of politics, society and the economy, the organization allows for a lively discussion of contempary Italy.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [243]-246) and index.
