The campaign for Italian elections scheduled on 25 September has focussed on issues such as the economy, jobs, taxation, energy, security and migration, topics that political parties consider most relevant for the electorate. Italy's foreign policy, including its international positioning and strategic alliances, have remained on the margins of the debate. For this reason, the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) will host an open discussion between representatives of Italy's largest political parties specifically focused on foreign policy.
A major programmatic focus of this work for IAI is carried out by the Italy's Foreign Policy Programme
