Italy Report 1995
The 1995 Italy Report, now in its sixth edition, has been structured around six dichotomies, illustrated by six essays accompanied by sixty phenomenological files. Through “the dialectic of opposites”, the volume analyses the evolution and changes in society and highlights the most representative themes of current events.
With its 1,000 pages, the Report is a useful tool for understanding a changing Italy.
The identified dichotomies contained in the Report are:
KNOWLEDGE/OPINION – LEGALITY/ILLEGALITY – STATE/MARKET – INCLUSION/EXCLUSION – EMPLOYMENT/UNEMPLOYMENT – PROTECTION/RISK
