Abstract
Italy is experiencing a deep reform of its central state, after the reform of 2001 that was focused on the regional level. It has been a long process since 1992 and it is not finished. The antagonism between the central state and local levels (in particular the regional one) is the main characteristic in this country in the last 25 years and we cannot understand its evolution without an analysis of the power relationship between Italian political players. In this case the geopolitical methodology as defined by Yves Lacoste helps us understand the policy-making tools (especially at local level) and reforms used and to get a vision for the future.
