Review

"Remaking the Italian Economy fills a void in the literature on comparative political economy. Relatively few American scholars in recent years have sought to deal with Italian economic successes and failures and business-government relations in systematic fashion. They have tended instead to examine the structural factors behind industry success in given regions, while ignoring institutional and political contexts. Locke demonstrates that industry success or failure also depends on the particular patterns of sociopolitical relationships within regions."-Comparative Politics "This book deserves to be widely read... An interesting and original examination of Italy's political economy as well as a contribution to our general understanding of the political economy of economic development."-Choice "The most outstanding feature of this book lies in its illustration of the usefulness of a shift away from the national model approach in doing comparative economics. Instead of considering the national government, national labor unions, and business associations as the key actors of economic change, our understanding is enhanced by viewing micro-level actors, notably managers of firms, local union leaders, and local interest groups."-Brigitte H. Bechtold, Central Michigan University. Review of Radical Political Economics, Vol. 32, No. 3, (2000) "A great merit of this stimulating volume lies in the fact that, by Locke's open, explicit claim of the priority to be accorded to a local rather than a national perspective in the interpretation of Italian political economy-and more generally in his interpretation of political economies of advanced democracies within a changing global environment-he urges interested readers to adopt a point of view."-British Journal of Industrial Relations "With this book, an important new voice enters the comparative political economy debate. A 'must-read' for specialists on Italy, this book is also a 'should-read' for economic policymakers in America, as well as students of political economy everywhere."-Robert D. Putnam, Harvard University "A brilliant and empirically grounded analysis of the recent success and failure of the Italian economy, as well as an important contribution to current debates in political economy."-Marino Regini, University of Trento
