Separatist and autonomous tendencies in modern Italy

Journal Title: Przegląd Narodowościowy - Review of Nationalities - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue

Abstract

The article focuses on the autonomous and separatist pursuits that occur in present day Italy. The work was inspired by the consultative referendums of 2017 in the regions of Veneto and Lombardia. Their aim was to give the residents a chance to express their views regarding the possible expansion of the autonomy of these two administrative units. As a result of the plebiscites, a significant majority voted for the expansion of the autonomy, which might trigger the pursuit of more permissions for the regions. One has to remember that in accordance with the constitution, Italy is a unanimous and non-divisible state. However, this does not mean that presently (as well as in the future) there are no separatist and autonomous tendencies. !e tendencies have historical, economical, cultural, social or political reasons. !e aim of the article is to analyze these tendencies on the basis subject literature and sources.
