Political Catholicism in post-war Italy :How social organizations respond to political change. [electronic resource] - 403 p.

Adviser: Peter A. Hall.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 2003.

Large Italian Catholic socio-economic organizations (CSOs) continued to be active following the collapse of the Christian Democratic party. Some have struggled and others have prospered, but as a whole they continue to have noticeable influence on Italian public life and politics. This dissertation seeks to explain their different structures, strategies and adaptation paths, as well as the changed ways in which they exert influence.

520 # $a Large Italian Catholic socio-economic organizations (CSOs) continued to be active following the collapse of the Christian Democratic party. Some have struggled and others have prospered, but as a whole they continue to have noticeable influence on Italian public life and politics. This dissertation seeks to explain their different structures, strategies and adaptation paths, as well as the changed ways in which they exert influence.
520 # $a More broadly, the dissertation proposes and applies a conceptual framework that allows for improving the general understanding of the influence of religion on social, economic and political life. Religion is described as a transformative experience induced by religious enunciations that link a community through time and space through repetitions. The key advantage of this approach is to recognize the importance of considerable variation in how organizations mix different types of activities that are heterogeneous among themselves: political on one hand and religious on the other. The dissertation deepens the concept of heterogeneity beyond how it has been used to date in sociological neo-institutionalist debates. Heterogeneity is understood not simply as characterizing "institutional logics", but as experience that is made sense of through dialogic processes at the experiential, individual, interactional, organizational and cultural levels.
520 # $a The model leads to the expectation that the timing of origins, fields of activity and specialization in fields other than religion structure Italian Catholic social organizations. As a result, these factors pattern the dialogic processes through which their political influence is determined. The model is evaluated by case studies consisting of three separate organizations and three interconnected organizations. All are of national relevance and five are still operating. The case studies generate cross-organizational comparisons and a perspective of the patterns of influence of these organizations within the Italian context. Further comparative perspectives across European countries are outlined in the last chapter.
