Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine intragovernmental competition (IC) within Italian institutions. Reform of Italian institutions is at the core of a major political debate. This paper will look at some insights deriving from the debate to see if they throw some light on the competitiveness of Italian institutions. The intensity of the debate confirms the practical relevance of our analysis, which is aimed at exploring institutions, though from a different standpoint.
