II. Scope & Description

Contemporary Italian Politics formerly Bulletin of Italian Politics is a political science journal aimed at academics and policy makers as well as others with a professional or intellectual interest in the politics of Italy. The journal has two main aims Firstly to provide rigorous analysis in the English language about the politics of what is one of the European Unions four largest states in terms of population and Gross Domestic Product. We seek to do this aware that too often those in the Englishspeaking world looking for incisive analysis and insight into the latest trends and developments in Italian politics are likely to be stymied by two contrasting difficulties. On the one hand they can turn to the daily and weekly print media. Here they will find information on the latest developments sure enough but much of it is likely to lack the incisiveness of academic writing and may even be straightforwardly inaccurate. On the other hand readers can turn either to general political science journalsbut here they will have to face the issue of fragmented informationor to specific journals on Italyin which case they will find that politics is considered only insofar as it is part of the broader field of modern Italian studies...The second aim follows from the first insofar as in seeking to achieve it we hope thereby to provide analysis that readers will find genuinely useful. With research funding bodies of all kinds giving increasing emphasis to knowledge transfer and increasingly demanding of applicants that they demonstrate the relevance of what they are doing to nonacademic end users political scientists have a selfinterested motive for attempting a closer engagement with outside practitioners.
