New consensus strategies in Naples. The political class in the municipal decentralization
This contribution analyzes the crisis of the political system in Naples
and the emergence of new consensus strategies at the territorial level. We
develop the argument on two dimensions. First, we examine the process
of personalization and professionalization of the political class at the
grassroots level and the increasing fragmentation of the parties. Second, we
focus on the difficulties in the decision-making processes at district level. As
a result of the crisis, we note a tendency to the concentration of the electoral
consensus of the municipal councillors in restricted territorial areas.
