Abstract

Mario Draghi, the former President of the European Central Bank, has been invited by Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella to form a new Italian government. Lisa Zanotti reacts to the decision, arguing that while Draghi may help the country emerge from its current political crisis, his appointment as Prime Minister would illustrate the deficiencies present within Italian democracy.
