Disillusioning democracy : trust and political participation in Italy : results from the TRUEDEM research

Includes bibliographical references.

This book presents the Italian findings of the TRUEDEM (Trust in European Democracies) research project: citizens in modern democracies increasingly base their political judgements on rational assessments of the competence, integrity and accountability of institutions, rather than on ideological loyalty or clientelistic exchange. This framework proves particularly illuminating for understanding the Italian case, where traditional party alliances have collapsed.[Publisher's text]
