Lo scopo di questo capitolo è di verificare l’affermazione o meno di un trend presidenzialista nei partiti italiani, perlomeno di quelli di governo o che competono per il governo.

L’Italia ha attraversato due fasi della storia politica repubblicana.

Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to verify whether or not there has been the affirmation of a presidentialist trend in Italian parties, or at least those in government or competing for government. The Italian scenario represents a crucial case in the verification of a trend towards presidentialism, given its peculiar political institutional history from the Second World War to the present day. Italy has undergone two phases of Republican political history. The first (1948-1994) was characterised by a classic parliamentary regime and by a polarised multiparty system (Sartori 1976 and 1982), in which there was naturally no space for an affirmation of presidential parties; the second (1994-present) has been characterised by a search for a majoritarian democracy that would permit alternation and the direct designation by the electors of a majority, of a government, of a leader, of a programme.If, by Presidentialisation, we mean the operational autonomy of the power of personal leadership within the parties and institutions of government , the Italian case does not confirm this case, in fact it steadfastly refutes it.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
