paper analyses the neo-centralism in the Italian polical party, the analysis
regards the local contest. Its goal is to describe the Italian parties¡¯
evolution, in their organization and functional aspects. After the end of the
mass parties, one could ask this question: ¡°what happened to the most important
political subject that dominated the Italian political system from the birth of
the republic until the beginning of the nineties¡±? This paper aims to give a
contribution to the understanding of the party de-structuring phase and the
temporary structural reconstruction one. Despite the changes that have taken
place, the political party continues in different ways to be central in the
local and national context. How? The approaches are profoundly different from
the past, they invest both the decision-making process of public policies and
the selection of the ruling class at all levels.
