Italy, the Monti government and the euro crisis (2011-12)
Australian and New Zealand Journal of European Studies, 2021 Hailed initially as the country’s saviour for saving Italy from default, Mario Monti’s technocratic government (2011-13) ended in controversy and with its achievements questioned. Aware of this contested legacy, this article seeks to revisit Monti’s term
