Mémoire
| Résumé : | On 13 October 2015, the Chamber of Deputies approved a proposal to reform the Italian citizenship law, which extends citizenship to children of immigrants by introducing ius soli. However, the measure never became law as it remained blocked in the Senate. Furthermore, still constitutes the object of heated debate among Italy's main political coalitions and equally divides public opinion into two factions: those in favour and those against the extension of citizenship to the children of immigrants, increasingly constitute an essential presence in Italy. The paper analyses committee and plenary discussions and, through the Advocacy Coalition Framework, highlights the actors who have influenced citizenship policy and promoted the debate on ius soli, to understand how but there has been an attempt to change the citizenship law. It turns out that a multitude of actors from various levels has contributed to promoting ius soli. A significant role has been played from the outset by Catholic associations and the "l'Italia sono anch'io" campaign supported by many actors from various fields. |
