Abstract

To understand the intricacies of Italian politics, one must understand the politico-ideological groupings or families that structure party-politics in the country. There are currently five political families in italy: the "Risorgimento", the Catholic, the Marxist, the Fascist and the Green. It has been said that almost all of the political parties to emerge in italy can be linked with one of these families. None of the parties in this political system have ever been able to work alone, they have had to rely on a coalition to make policy and govern. For all of the post-World War II era and up until 1994, Christian Democracy dominated politics in italy as the main party in the government, and they were joined by the Italian Communist party which served as the opposition. As party politics in italy grew, so too did the evolution of the catch-all party, even though it would assume different names throughout and up to present day. This essay will discuss Christian Democracy and from this it will be shown that even though the name of this party has changed since it disbanded, its replacements still fall under the same politico-ideological grouping or family.
