Abstract

This chapter presents a brief overview of the Italian political system. Countries differ with respect to their political institutions, which affect the way in which voters, politicians, political parties, the legislature, and the government interact, as well as the 'industrial organization' of the political sector. It presents an overview of the institutional details of the Italian political system, highlighting the role played by parties in the selection of politicians and the way in which changes in the electoral law may have affected the selection process as well as the parties' internal organization and the overall structure of the party system.
