Trending and Emerging
- Reinterpretation of Corporatism:
There is an increasing focus on reinterpreting corporatism, especially its historical roots and implications in modern governance. This trend suggests a renewed scholarly interest in how corporatist structures can inform contemporary political economies. - Fascism and Its Global Reception:
Recent papers explore the global reception and adaptation of fascist ideologies, indicating a growing interest in how these ideas have transcended national boundaries and influenced various political movements worldwide. - Critical Engagement with Historical Events:
There is a trend towards critically engaging with historical events, such as the Genoa protests and their political ramifications, suggesting a move towards understanding the complexities of historical narratives and their societal impacts. - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Feminism:

Emerging themes include the exploration of cultural memory and political iconography, particularly in relation to fascism and its legacy, highlighting the importance of memory studies in contemporary political discourse.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Historical Narratives:
There seems to be a decrease in the publication of papers strictly adhering to traditional historical narratives without critical engagement. Instead, there is a shift towards more interdisciplinary and critical approaches, indicating a move away from conventional historical analysis. - Focus on Early Modern Period:
Research centered on the early modern period, particularly the 15th to 18th centuries, has become less prominent. This may suggest a growing interest in contemporary issues and their historical roots rather than a focus on earlier historical contexts. - Regional Studies Limited to Italy:
While the journal has a strong Italian focus, there appears to be a declining emphasis on studies that do not engage with broader transnational or comparative frameworks, limiting the exploration of Italian politics in a global context. - Narrow Feminist Perspectives:
The exploration of feminist themes has become more focused on specific movements or figures rather than broader feminist theories and intersections with other social movements, indicating a possible narrowing of the feminist discourse.
