L’accentramento del potere amministrativo nel pnrr tra esigenze di uniformità e istanze di differenziazione

As an instrument for the direction of general economic policy, the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, drawn up by the Italian Government to implement the European funding program, “Next Generation EU”, introduces a concept for economic and social development with regard to the future of Italian regionalism. The essay questions the implications arising from the acceptance of a wider concept of sustainability which, inspired by the link between environmental protection, social inclusion and economic growth, would require the involvement of local authorities in the implementation of the Plan. Finally, the Author highlights some problems in Italian Law Decree no. 77/2021 which was approved in order to guarantee the correct fulfillment of commitments undertaken by the State. This was on account of the fact that dialogue between the State and regions was sacrificed in order to save time and the true meaning of the vertical subsidiarity principle was not taken into due consideration.
