This book explains the foreign policy of Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. It argues that Renzi's domestic focus and outsider status are critical in allowing us to make sense of Renzi's policies toward the European Union as well as instability in Libya and the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
