Mirror

An editorial product designed and tailored specifically for policy-makers

The Mirror series consists of fortnightly two-page briefings on the most significant events and developments within both the Labour Party and the Italian left parties.

Mirror aims at providing party members and officers with an up-to-date outlook of the internal life and processes of the two parties, so as to foster mutual understanding, shared knowledge and improve the capacity of Italian and British policy-makers to learn from each other.

As the name itself suggests, the “mirror” concept builds upon the vision of a political partnership delivering mutual gains by taking advantage of their shared expertise and best practices.
