Mario Caciagli et al., « Dernière étape avant Rome ? Les élections régionales italiennes du 16 avril 2000 », Pôle Sud, ID : 10.3406/pole.2000.1091
The Italian regional elections, which occuredin april 16th 2000, took for the first time into account an electoral reform which consists in vote for the individual candidates to the présidence of Regions. This one was part of a more general trend toward the reinforcment of regional powers, which are often considered as rather weak in Italy. After an assessment of the detailed dynanmics which have marked these elections, the authors analyse, region by region, Berlusconi 's relatively modest victory. They consider that the weigh of changes affecting the system of coalitions is largely dominant in order to explain the contemporary landscape and to understand next political goals.
