Abstract

The essay introduces to the main contents of the book, providing a general overview on the most important so called “reforms” adopted in Europe in order to face the economic and financial crisis. The study is aimed in evaluating the impact of these reforms on democratic institutions and the functioning of public administrations, following three topics: (a) the impact on the administrative system; (b) the impact on the level of legal guarantee of social rights; (c) the impact on the traditional instruments of administrative action.

Notes

  1. 1.

    An important example of such an approach is the Chiti and Vesperini’ contribution.

  2. 2.

    See R. Tarchi’s contribution.

  3. 3.

  4. 4.

    The contribution of A. Pierini and M. Volpi is dedicated to this topic.

  5. 5.

    B. Ponti’s essay, which is published here, has preferred this latter, for that matter central, element.

  6. 6.

    The essays by S. Civitarese and A. Brancasi and C. Marzuoli discuss the effects that such policies produce on equity and solidarity and on the equalization between generations in terms of enjoyment of social rights. We just want to recall here, on the basis of L. Vandelli’s contribution, the impact of these policies on the institutional, structural, and internal order of the individual states.

  7. 7.

    A Bill presented by single MPs provided for a new “regional map” which would include 12–13 regions instead of the existing 21.
