Party democracy and its enemies: Italy, 1945–1992
The gap between the narratives of democracy and the practices of power has been a significant source of delegitimation for the post-1945 Italian political system. The system was unable to achieve a solid and principled legitimation by meeting the requirements of a widely accepted and historically rooted notion of democracy, and had to resort to a fragile de facto legitimacy based on the absence of more desirable alternatives.

Political delegitimation in republican Italy, 1945–2011
Antifascism, anticommunism, antipolitics: Delegitimation in Berlusconi’s Italy
Post-1994 delegitimizing discourses borrowed a lot from antifascism and anticommunism, which they updated to fit the new historical circumstances.

This article analyzes how delegitimizing traditions survived the end of th…

This article assesses the impact of the political changes of the post-1994 period (and notably Berlusconi's entry into politics) on the debate over the so-called First Republic, with regard to: Italian national identity in the post…
