Interpreting employment policy change in Italy since the 1990s: nature and dynamics / S. Sacchi, P. Vesan. - [s.l] : Collegio Carlo Alberto, 2011 Dec. (CARLO ALBERTO NOTEBOOKS)
Abstract:
This paper analyzes the evolution of employment policy in Italy, focusing on
the period from the mid-1990s to the economic crisis started in 2008. Two aspects of
the policy change process are taken into consideration: its nature and its dynamics. As
regards the former, three dimensions – strategic, distributive and organizational – are
singled out in order to analyze the specific employment policy reforms occurred in the
period taken into account. A framework is then developed for the interpretation and
explanation of the dynamics of change, based on causal sequences identified by the
combination of politico-institutional factors, and a preliminary appraisal of the impact
of reforms on the pre-existing institutional configuration is provided. The paper
concludes focusing on the shortcomings of the reform process, and highlighting
foreseeable directions of future change.
