Summary:

How did Italy's role of regional power develop? How did it change from national unification to the present day? This book examines the degree of influence exerted by Italy in its geopolitical context, with special focus on Libya and the Horn of Africa. With the aid of different research methods and thanks to two exclusive interviews, this work traces the many stages that have characterized Italian foreign policy in its sphere of influence, its successes and its failures, from the country's early colonial policies to the latest events. Images, graphics, maps and confidential documents further enrich the debate on one of the most ancient but controversial regional powers. --Back cover.
