Abstract:
At least since the 1990s, corruption has continued to be listed as one of the major shortcomings affecting old and new European democracies. In spite of that, measuring political corruption is still a tricky task. In this scenario, some recent studies proposed to turn the attention to the judicial actions to curb corruption, through criminal prosecution, shedding light specifically on the investigations involving high-level politicians (Popova and Post 2018; Dallara 2019). In this paper we aim to present data about judicial prosecution of political corruption in Italy, emphasizing how the number of investigations involving political actors seems rather high, although relatively few cases end with a conviction. Moreover, we aim to suggest some explanatory factors that could account for this situation. Among them: the salience of the issue in the political and public debate; the governance structure of the Italian judicial system and some characters of the Italian criminal law and procedure.

Abstract:
- According to the standard thesis, the political crisis in Italy between 1992 and 1994 and the collapse of the Christian Democrat regime are related to the revelation of corruption of the political elite by the judiciary. However, judicial revelations and corruption scandals have regularly occurred in Italy, before and after this crisis, without provoking a drastic political change and the reject of the political system by the electorate. Considering this paradox, the article suggests an alternate account of the 1992-1994 events that underline the way in which the political competition had been affected by the scandals: the moral crusades against corruption had in this period a political impact because they had been relayed and supported by emerging political actors in order to challenge the established elites and to claim a leading role in reshaping the political system.

Abstract:
TThis paper provides, trough different indicators, empirical evidence on the presumably high relevance of corruption in Italian politics and administration, providing an explanation of how this “obscure” side of Italian politics – a pervasive market for corrupt exchanges – has found its way to regulate its hidden activities within an informal institutional framework, i.e. systemic corruption. A general theoretical framework for the analysis of limits and “windows of opportunity” in Italian anticorruption policies will then be provided, crossing the degree of salience and politicization of corruption issue to explain how in different periods such variables shaped such policy arena. Finally, it will be shown how occasionally this dark side of Italian politics clashed with the clean side of politics, focusing on the reasons of the weak political accountability of Italian politicians involved in corruption scandals in the last decades.

Abstract:
SummaryOne of the circumstances likely to be associated with the intensity of both investigative and legislative efforts designed to curb political and bureaucratic corruption is institutional reform. Since the characteristics of electoral and party systems seem to be associated with variations in the intensity of anti-corruption efforts cross-nationally, it was reasonable to think that changes in the characteristics of these systems in Italy in the 1990s would be reflected in a corresponding change in the efforts of legislators and members of the judiciary to tackle corruption. Prior to the 1990s Italy's tripolar party system and its numerous concomitants placed considerable obstacles in the way of the willingness and the ability of judicial investigators and parliamentarians to deal with the corruption emergency. The 1993 electoral law reform, the eventual emergence of a largely bipolar party system and the circumstances surrounding these processes considerably diminished the significance of the aforementioned obstacles, yet there has been little noticeable increase in anti-corruption efforts. This is probably explicable in terms of the electoral effects of such efforts and suggests that institutional change is at most only one of a number of conditions that must be fulfilled in order for more strenuous efforts to be observed.

Abstract:
In recent years, young Italian brain drain within provinces has increased at higher speed than ever. While is premature to assess whether this process is transitory or permanent, it is undoubted that it is relevant and needs to be analysed by researchers and monitored by policy makers constantly. Previous empirical studies have demonstrated that net skilled migration is influenced by economic factors, such as the search for higher income per capita and job opportunities, and, with a less extent, by the search of places endowed with more amenities. In the crossroad between these factors, this dissertation investigates the role of corruption, as proxy for meritocracy, as a key element of influence over young skilled mobility. To this end, a comprehensive framework of analysis, based on the comparison of results get by traditional and novel empirical methodologies, is used. Hence, the present dissertation develops its study in three chapters. Chapter 1 offers a detailed review of the literature that has analysed the general causes of skilled mobility and discusses the novel elements introduced by the current study. Then, Chapter 2 investigates the relationship between corruption and the Italian skilled mobility by exploiting traditional data and dynamic panel model. Evidence suggests that high corruption positively affects skilled flows from origin province, ceteris paribus. Although the adopted model is robust because it is widely exploited among researchers and controls for endogeneity, its main limit is represented by the fact that it does not fully exploit the potentialities offered by bilateral data of a tri-panel dataset, losing great part of information. Thus, Chapter 3 deals with the trade-off between robustness and completeness handled by the traditional method presented in Chapter 2 and adopts a gravity framework with a novel Pseudo Poisson. Results suggest the existence of push and pull mechanisms of corruption at play on young skilled mobility. Besides, evidence proves that sensitivity of the prospective tertiary students towards corruption varies according to their field of study of interest. Also, corruption widely affects long-distance skilled flow from the Centre-South to the North of Italy. Chapter 3 enriches its analysis with bilateral data on enrolments at university, additive research questions and results by adopting a remedy that does not give up completeness for gaining robustness in the empirical analysis. Results of the novel model of Chapter 3 present similarity with the results of the traditional model of Chapter 2, demonstrating that the coexistence of robustness and completeness features is possible if models are correctly implemented

Abstract:
The third Chapter depicts the interconnections between the two themes (bribery and anti-corruption policies, on the one hand, and the role of public controlled entities, on the other) in the Italian case. Italy turns out to be an interesting case study because, on the one hand, it is among the worst performing countries in the G7 and the EU members in terms of corruption and, on the other, it has experienced a strongly proliferation of Public Owned Enterprises (POEs) during the last two or three decades, involving nearly all activity sectors of the economy. This process is deemed to have weakened the chain of control on shared units, delegating relevant financial and political decisions to a milieu of ambiguity and uncertain accountability (the ‘escape’ argument). A progressive change of direction occurred more recently, when corporatized public enterprises have been submitted to specific and increasing limits, including transparency and anti-corruption policies. The anticorruption package, adopted in Italy starting with 2012, has promoted important steps in this direction, yet the effects of these new measures have not been resolutive, and many challenges are still open.
