About the Book

20 years after the reform of Italian regionalism, this book reflects on the contributions that Italian regionalism can bring to the global debate on federalism and has a lot to tell other countries that are dealing with similar issues. The book explores how the vibrant Italian experience has contributed to global developments in federal and regional states, and what can be learned from it.
