This book analyses the foreign policy of Silvio Berlusconi Italian media tycoon and politician
who served as Prime Minister of Italy in four governments. The authors examine the Italian
position in the international arena and its foreign policy tradition as well as Berlusconi¿s
general political stance Berlusconi¿s foreign policy strategies and the impact of those
strategies in Italy. Given that Berlusconi is considered a populist leader the volume
considers his foreign policy as an instance of populist foreign policy ¿ an understudied but
increasingly relevant topic.
