overall attention to the Mediterranean and his efforts to reform EU banking policies. In both cases, however, his antagonism toward the European Union and its institutions worked well domestically, especially among the many voters dissatisfied with Brussels. In reference to Italy’s response to the crises in Ukraine (Chapter 4), Iraq and Syria (Chapter 5), and Libya (Chapter 6), Renzi’s personalism and disregard for experts in the field led Italy to adopt the same political line as previous Italian governments. In response to the Ukraine/Russia affair, Renzi’s government was unable to find a middle ground that acknowledged Russia’s perspective without moving too far away from the positions held by the United States and EU. In the fight against ISIS, Renzi refused to provide military strikes in Iraq and rejected any intervention in Syria, despite the favourable opinion of his ministers of defence and foreign affairs, because he feared losing public support to the M5S, which had adopted a pacifist approach. Finally, in response to the Libyan crisis, Renzi preferred avoiding the use of ‘armed forces – contrary to the (bipartisan) national approach – to enhance Italian prestige and credibility’ in the African country (p. 132) so as not to jeopardise his plans for domestic institutional reforms. Italian Foreign Policy during Matteo Renzi’s Government is a brilliant addition to the study of Italian foreign policy and international relations in general. In its examination of the interconnections between domestic politics and international affairs, Coticchia and Davidson’s study not only provides a further analysis of the legacy of Renzi’s government; it also provides an invaluable investigation into the implications that ‘charismatic leaders’ may have in current liberal democracies. Simply argued, this is a fundamental book for those interested in understanding the complexities and intricacies of balancing domestic and international politics.

总体关注地中海及其改革欧盟银行政策的努力。然而,在这两种情况下,他对欧盟及其机构的敌意在国内运作良好,尤其是在许多对布鲁塞尔不满的选民中。谈到意大利对乌克兰(第4章)、伊拉克和叙利亚(第5章)、利比亚(第6章)危机的反应,伦齐的个人主义和对该领域专家的漠视导致意大利采取了与前意大利相同的政治路线政府。针对乌克兰/俄罗斯事件,伦齐政府无法找到一个中间立场,既承认俄罗斯的观点,又不偏离美国和欧盟的立场。在打击伊斯兰国的斗争中,伦齐拒绝对伊拉克进行军事打击,拒绝对叙利亚进行任何干预,尽管他的国防部长和外交部长表示赞成,因为他担心失去公众对采取和平主义方式的 ​​M5S 的支持。最后,为了应对利比亚危机,伦齐倾向于避免使用“与(两党)国家做法相反的武装力量来提高意大利在非洲国家的声望和信誉”(第 132 页),以免危及他的利益。国内机构改革计划。马泰奥·伦齐 (Matteo Renzi) 政府期间的意大利外交政策是对意大利外交政策和一般国际关系研究的绝妙补充。在考察国内政治与国际事务之间的相互联系时,科蒂奇亚和戴维​​森的研究不仅提供了对伦齐政府遗产的进一步分析;它还对“魅力型领导者”在当前自由民主国家可能产生的影响进行了宝贵的调查。简单地说,对于那些有兴趣了解平衡国内和国际政治的复杂性和复杂性的人来说,这是一本基础性的书。
