Disuguaglianze, beni relazionali ed elezioni nelle periferie di Roma

Federico Tomassi

Rivista di Politica Economica, 2013, issue 1, 403-450

Abstract: In the city of Rome economic and territorial polarizations increased between centre and peripheral belts, paralleling suburban sprawl. Electoral data 2005-2011 highlight sharp political polarization, too. Left-wing candidates prevail where social centrality exists, i.e. in dense zones with widespread social relationships and many public or collective places. On the contrary, right-wing parties prevail in far-off sprawled zones, with less opportunities to meet each other, where relational goods are less diffused. Since such goods, according to civil economics, are key factor in the individual well-being, economic and territorial differences lead to different political choices.
