Abstract
The year 2017 brought to an end the 17th legislative term and prepared the ground for the upcoming general elections. In a climate of extreme uncertainty, fostered by an evolving political scenario and persistently high levels of electoral volatility, political actors had to rewrite the electoral law while facing a number of internal and external challenges. This introduction discusses the context and outcomes of a transitional (but by no means negligible) year, summarizing the content of the articles making up this Issue. The reconfiguration of the tripolar political space, together with several unsolved problems (for instance in the field of immigration and citizenship of the ‘new Italians’) set the game table for the crucial elections of 2018.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
