Even though, in recent years, an impressive amount of literature on this topic has been produced, there has been neither systematic analysis of, nor empirical research into, the Italian interest system so far. This article aims to address this lacuna. Following a diachronic perspective, we count how many politically active groups have populated the Italian interest system with regard to two different periods: 1984\u201388 and 2010\u201314. From 1984 to 2014 the number of interest groups almost doubled and the density of the system greatly increased; diversity, however, has remained relatively more stable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The size and shape of the Italian interest system between the 1980s and the present day Renata Lizzi and Andrea Pritoni Italian Political Science Review \/ Rivista Italiana di Scienza\u00a0Politica\u00a0 Volume 47,\u00a0Issue 3,\u00a0November 2017,\u00a0pp. 291-312<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reading","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":412,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255\/revisions\/412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/congrips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
