“Italy’s trajectory with the BRI may present all the ingredients of a major foreign policy failure for the country — a failure with Italian characteristics. These characteristics include government instability, which makes it more difficult for Rome to carefully plan and implement policies; a highly polarised media environment, which is not conducive to a healthy debate on China and international affairs altogether; and a lack of long-term visions for the future of the country, which complicates Italy’s ability to navigate a rapidly changing international environment.”
Simone Dossi (T.wai & University of Milan) in his article “Policy failure with Italian characteristics?” on East Asia Forum.
