L'unità come miraggio? Prove di dialogo nella sinistra radicale italiana

In the last years, characterized by the economic and social crisis, the Italian radical left has appeared progressively marginalized in the national political scenario. It has further fragmented in a series of small parties and new political formations - Rifondazione Comunista, Sinistra, Ecologia e Libertà/Sinistra Italiana, Possibile and Altra Europa con Tsipras - that seem unable to converge on a common political project. What are the reasons for their division? Are there any chances of collaboration between them? In order to answer these questions, the article proposes a diachronic analysis of the ideological, organizational and strategic characteristics of the various political forces, trying to identify the reasons for their separate paths and the common ground for a possible dialogue.
