THE ITALIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM CASE STUDY: BERLUSCONI - THE INVENTION OF A POLITICAL MAN

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the author aims to make an incursion into the Italian political system in order to analyse the causes and the conditions which underlay Silvio Berlusconi's appearance and his invention as a political man. To this purpose, this contribution proposes a brief analysis of the Italian political system set up after World War II, a theoretical analysis of the concept of "particracy"; it produces a radiograph of the Italian political regime after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, and it ends with a presentation of the 1994 parliamentary election campaign, which allowed for the appearance of the political "phenomenon" called Berlusconi.
