      abstract = {⁰́b-This book provides an excellent description of the  outcome of the 2022 election in Italy, which saw the rise  of Giorgia Meloni and her far right party, Brothers of  Italy, to the helm of government. The phenomenon is even  more important given that Italy has often been a laboratory  for future trends in European politics. The authors make  good use of media, survey and official electoral data to  analyse the campaign and electoral geography, as well as  voting choices and their timing, to provide a vivid account  of the election outcome in a country where instability and  uncertainty have become the norm.⁰́b+ ⁰́b4Marina Costa  Lobo, University of Lisbon, Portugal ⁰́b-This book provides  an impressive first analysis of the 2022 Italian elections,  the third most volatile elections in Italy⁰́b9s post-war  history, after 1994 and 2013. Its authors document how the  widespread economic, cultural and political malaise  influenced Italians⁰́b9 electoral choices. They help us  understand how, in the fluid Italian political context,  widespread insecurity among voters and resentment against  the political elites led to a massive shift to the right  and an exceptionally high abstention rate.⁰́b+  ⁰́b4Hanspeter Kriesi, European University Institute, Italy  Italian politics has changed course yet again. Thanks to  the outcome of the 2022 general election, a coalition  dominated, for the first time, by a party of the far right  has taken office under Giorgia Meloni, the first woman to  serve as prime minister in Italy⁰́b9s republican history.  Italy has always been a kind of ⁰́b8political  laboratory⁰́b9 for Western democracies ⁰́b3 one in which  new political phenomena have developed with considerable  potency. Consequently, the electoral analyses presented in  this book make it possible for the reader to understand the  challenges and related consequences that established  democracies are currently facing, beyond Italy.
