In Sistemi democratici comparati (Il Mulino 2025), Pasquino and Valbruzzi offer a striking contribution to comparative political science in Italy – an innovative and concise work that both refreshes and deepens our understanding of democratic regimes. From the outset, the book makes clear that its ambition is not merely descriptive: it seeks to organize and explain democratic arrangements within a systemic, comparative framework, combining analytic rigour with accessibility. This review examines its structure and methodology, its thematic chapters and case‐comparisons, its strengths and limitations, and finally its broader significance for the discipline.

Abstract
In Sistemi democratici comparati (Il Mulino 2025), Pasquino and Valbruzzi offer a striking contribution to comparative political science in Italy – an innovative and concise work that both refreshes and deepens our understanding of democratic regimes. From the outset, the book makes clear that its ambition is not merely descriptive: it seeks to organize and explain democratic arrangements within a systemic, comparative framework, combining analytic rigour with accessibility. This review examines its structure and methodology, its thematic chapters and case‐comparisons, its strengths and limitations, and finally its broader significance for the discipline.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
