Inhaltsangabe

Focussing on his term as Prime Minister from 2001-06, this scholarly volume provides the first assessment of how the neo-conservative values attributed to Berlusconi were contested and resisted by a variety of groups: social/minority movements, intellectuals (radical and moderate) and media practitioners. This interdisciplinary volume is divided into four (overlapping) areas: The Economic and Media Landscapes; Political Challenges; Texts; Experiences and Personalities.
