N. 2/2022 Deutschland, Italien und die Ressourcen vom Next Generation EU aus ökonomischer und geopolitischer Sicht
The objective of the Vigoni Paper 2/2022 is to analyse some potential new political and economic relationships between Germany and Italy in the context of the post-pandemic and of the Next Generation EU plan. Southern Italy has an important role to play in ensuring the stability of Italy and the well-being of Germany, by virtue of its impact on European geopolitical stability. Germany should support the insourcing of the production chains of the energy and healthcare sectors in Southern Italy. This is for geopolitical and economic reasons. The Italian government should sustain this insourcing by implementing structural reforms in the labour market and in the legal system.
