Abstract

ABSTRACT From the start of 2021, the vaccination campaign against SARS-CoV-2 was high on the agenda of governments everywhere and the Italian Government was no exception. In this article, we shall describe the progress of the anti-Covid vaccination campaign in Italy with a particular focus on the policy tools adopted by the Government to encourage citizens’ compliance and to combat reluctance. After considering the problem of engaging with the vaccination campaign using the analytic framework provided by studies of compliance, focus will be first on how the targets of the vaccination campaign came to be defined and the infrastructural facilities for administering the doses established, and then on the measures the Government took to overcome popular resistance to the vaccines and to maximise compliance, considering them in terms of their degree of ‘intrusiveness’. In the final section, we conclude by highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the campaign and by offering an assessment of the coherence and the timing of the Government’s measures.

“我希望你也喜欢戳戳”。意大利新冠肺炎疫苗接种运动和促进遵守的措施

从2021年开始，针对SARS-CoV-2的疫苗接种运动被提上了各国政府的重要议程，意大利政府也不例外。在本文中，我们将介绍意大利抗covid - 19疫苗接种运动的进展情况，特别侧重于政府为鼓励公民遵守并消除不情愿而采取的政策工具。在利用遵守情况研究提供的分析框架考虑参与疫苗接种运动的问题之后，重点将首先放在如何确定疫苗接种运动的目标和建立管理剂量的基础设施上，然后放在政府为克服公众对疫苗的抵制和最大限度地遵守疫苗接种而采取的措施上，考虑到这些措施的"侵入性"程度。在最后一节中，我们强调了该运动的长处和短处，并对政府各项措施的连贯性和时机进行了评估。

期刊介绍： Contemporary Italian Politics, formerly Bulletin of Italian Politics, is a political science journal aimed at academics and policy makers as well as others with a professional or intellectual interest in the politics of Italy. The journal has two main aims: Firstly, to provide rigorous analysis, in the English language, about the politics of what is one of the European Union’s four largest states in terms of population and Gross Domestic Product. We seek to do this aware that too often those in the English-speaking world looking for incisive analysis and insight into the latest trends and developments in Italian politics are likely to be stymied by two contrasting difficulties. On the one hand, they can turn to the daily and weekly print media. Here they will find information on the latest developments, sure enough; but much of it is likely to lack the incisiveness of academic writing and may even be straightforwardly inaccurate. On the other hand, readers can turn either to general political science journals – but here they will have to face the issue of fragmented information – or to specific journals on Italy – in which case they will find that politics is considered only insofar as it is part of the broader field of modern Italian studies[...] The second aim follows from the first insofar as, in seeking to achieve it, we hope thereby to provide analysis that readers will find genuinely useful. With research funding bodies of all kinds giving increasing emphasis to knowledge transfer and increasingly demanding of applicants that they demonstrate the relevance of what they are doing to non-academic ‘end users’, political scientists have a self-interested motive for attempting a closer engagement with outside practitioners.
