case, has precipitated a profound crisis within the Italian political system. While crises are a regular feature of postwar Italian politics, the current scandal is unfolding in a radically altered political context. The dissolution of the Communist Party and consequent decline of the DC-PCI balance has removed internal blockages and created new instabilities within the system. It is these new circumstances which have enabled the judiciary to expose and undermine political corruption. This article argues that the Tangentopoli crisis is about to yield, for the first time in postwar Italy, a new configuration in the governing parties.
