Abstract
  • The increased integration of Europe has prompted many Italians to become more Eurosceptic. Italian euroscepticism has ramped up amid issues caused by an influx in migration to Italy's southern Mediterranean border. As the migrant population increases, the perception of Italian welfare decreases due to resource shortages and security breaches. Amid the electoral victory of Giorgia Meloni and her party, Fratellli D'Italia, in 2022, many Italians now have hope for socioeconomic change. Fratelli D'Italia's neo-fascist roots have been a cause for concern within the European Union (EU). Many member states are weary that Italy will invoke conflict or consider leaving the EU (an "Italexit") in an attempt to accomplish their political agenda. This analysis argues an integrated interest-based method of negotiation resolves the tension between the EU and Italy. Five solutions that incorporate both Italian and EU-based tactics provide a resolution to the immigration issue while maintaining the Italian membership.
