Neo-authoritarianism as molecular transformation. The reordering of political space in Italy
This article analyses the neo-authoritarian trajectory of the Italian radical right under Giorgia Meloni, conceptualised as a molecular transformation within the broader authoritarian shift in liberal democracies. While existing scholarship has examined Fratelli d’Italia’s ideology, organisation, and electoral breakthrough, this study focuses on the interlinked domestic reforms that reveal the government’s deeper political project: the constituti…
The international political economy of Berlusconism
In the existing accounts about Silvio Berlusconi, analyses of his political–economic project integrating the overarching context in which it emerged are conspicuous by their absence. The paper addresses this main gap by investigating Berluscon ism as a phenomenon reaching beyond Berlusconi’s figure, capturing the twists and turns of Italy’s neoliberal reconfiguration. Grounded in an International Political Economy (IPE) perspective and starting f…
Recasting technocracy theory and analysis
Technocracy strongly marks contemporary transformations of political and institutional regimes. Such increasing relevance triggered an exponential growth of dedicated research. Yet, this research often features a quantitative approach based on a reified conception of technocracy, resulting in a rationalist and functionalist perspective neglecting the political dimension. Technocracy is thus implicitly conceived as a depoliticised phenomenon deter…
Economic imaginaries and beyond . A cultural political economy perspective on the League party
In the face of enduring crisis phenomena, quantitative evidence of the renewed salience of socio-economic agendas advanced by radical right populist parties calls for more qualitative research work and in-depth case studies. The present paper aims to contribute to filling this gap through a cultural political economy (CPE) investigation of the Italian League (Lega) party that foregrounds its socio-economic positioning by reconstructing the party’…
Gramsci in China
Assessments of the nature and trajectory of China’s political economy polarise into a highly controversial debate. The present paper aims to introduce Antonio Gramsci as a powerful ally in making sense of the specificities of the Chinese case by shedding light on the past , present , and future of the Gramsci‐China encounter. Starting from an in‐depth assessment of the reception of Gramsci’s textual legacy in Mainland China and of the main relate…
Disciplinary effects of capital accumulation
Calls against austerity have entered the political agenda of very different actors in the political spectrum - from social democratic to right-wing populist parties. In this article, we argue that the main failures in realizing these claims and thus overcoming austerity can hardly be explained only in terms of (lacking) political will. We rather approach this problem complex in the two emblematic cases of Italy and Spain by foregrounding the disc…
Investigating hegemony struggles
Against the background of enduring crisis dynamics, an increasingly popular (neo-)Gramscian line of interpretation has the merit of shedding light on the ambivalences of the present political scenario as a series of ongoing struggles for hegemony. Yet how to concretely conceive, structure and operationalize empirical investigations interested in these struggles without neglecting their complex interplay of discursive and extra-discursive dynamics…
