Pandémie en Italie : une analyse sur plusieurs niveaux

Is it possible to explain why Italy was the first country in Europe where the COVID-19 pandemic happened? Why has this pandemic resulted in a much greater number of victims than in other European countries (probably more than the official figures which place Italy behind Russia and the United Kingdom)? This contribution answers to these questions using the method of the levels of analysis theorized by Yves Lacoste and it will be possible to understand how the planetary relations of these territories of Lombardy also have a precise characteristic of urbanization which made of very fertile ground. to Virus. Consequently, it is not neither the axes of mobility nor the quality of the area (which some authors have advanced) that so many victims have caused, but rather a specific balance of power between state and region since 1992 and, for what concerns Lombardy, a network of political actors that has prevented a good coordination and action, unlike other region like Veneto and Emilia Romagna.
