  • Lesson 1. Introduction: The concept of economic decline In this introductory lesson, we will explore the definition and indicators of economic decline. We'll discuss how economic decline is measured and perceived, focusing on the specific context of Italy and its historical economic challenges. Lesson 2. Euroscepticism in Italy in the 1990s This lesson delves into the roots of Euroscepticism in Italy during the 1990s. We will analyse the sociopolitical and economic factors that contributed to the rise of Euroscepticism, including the impact of EU policies on the Italian economy and society. Lesson 3. The Euro and the new Euroscepticism We will explore the introduction of the Euro and its immediate consequences on the Italian economy. This lesson will examine how the Euro has reshaped both economic policies and public opinion towards European integration. Lesson 4. The Eurozone crisis and the rise of populist parties This lesson addresses the Eurozone crisis' role in propelling populist parties to the forefront of Italian politics. We will discuss how economic hardships and unemployment catalysed populist narratives and their impact on Italian governance. Lesson 5. Italy, the pandemic crisis, and the retreat of Euroscepticism Exploring recent events, this lesson examines how the COVID-19 pandemic affected Italy's economic and political landscape, leading to a nuanced shift in Eurosceptic attitudes, influenced by EU support measures. Lesson 6. Conclusion: just a temporary pause? In the concluding lesson, we will reflect on whether the observed retreat in Euroscepticism represents a long-term change or merely a temporary shift. We will discuss potential future scenarios for Italy's relationship with the EU based on current trends and emerging challenges.
