Routledge - The Politics of Migration in Italy Book

Migration stands as a central issue in both Italian and European politics. This book from the Routledge Studies in Extremism and Democracy series examines how migration triggers wide-ranging debates and negotiations across the EU. It looks at the impact of alarmist and sensationalist news reporting on the actions of governments, political parties, and social movements. This text explores the transition of migration from a previously undiscussed topic to a primary focus of political agendas and mass media debate. By studying how political actors use migration during electoral campaigning, the book provides a clear look at how complex policy issues are addressed through selective engagement. It is an essential resource for those studying European politics, government policy, and the social dynamics of migration within the Italian landscape.
