Towards a European public sphere? A Comparative Study of the Facebook Activities of Danish and Spanish Members of the European Parliament
2019
This comparative study examines the everyday Facebook activities of all Danish and Spanish members of the European Parliament (MEPs), and the extent to which there is a real political conversation between citizens and European representatives. Through content analysis, it analyzes the Facebook practices of a significantly under-studied population (MEPs) during a non-campaign period (January 15 to February 15, 2017) while most of recent research has overwhelmingly focused on campaign periods. The results show that both Danish and Spanish MEPs are generously present and active on Facebook, but that they are less popular than their national counterparts. The study shows that Danish MEPs use Fa…

Evoluzione del ruolo del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri e riforme istituzionali
2023
The parliamentary form of government, lacking adequate stabilizing elements, generates inefficiencies and institutional dysfunctions. The changes that it has undergone have determined new balances between powers, which favor the Executive, and, within this, the monocratic role of the President of the Council of Ministers. These changes highlight even more the need to carry out institutional reforms that rationalize the strengthening of the head of government, providing for suitable counterweights, and restructuring the relationship of trust in order to ensure its stability.
Las prerrogativas de estatus y el libre ejercicio de la actividad parlamentaria en la experiencia italiana: historia reciente de una búsqueda incesan…
2021
Las prerrogativas parlamentarias son institutos necesarios para asegurar el equilibrio entre los poderes constitucionales, aunque no pueden ser entregados a la «total y exclusiva» decisión parlamentaria ni a la jurisdicción ordinaria porque, de lo contrario, podrían producir abusos y fuertes interferencias en el ejercicio de las atribuciones que corresponden al Parlamento o al poder judicial. En la experiencia italiana, la Corte Constitucional ha asumido un papel «arbitral» en los conflictos relacionados con las prerrogativas parlamentarias (el juicio por conflicto de atribuciones entre poderes del Estado y el juicio de legitimidad constitucional de las leyes en vía incidental). Sin embargo…
Politicisation as a Speech Act: A Repertoire for Analysing Politicisation in Parliamentary Plenary Debates
2021
This chapter analyses the actual speech acts of politicisation among parliamentarians, which also makes it possible to set the current debates among European Union (EU) scholars in a wider context. My aim is to sketch a scheme for distinguishing different aspects of politicisation, referring to concepts of politics (sphere or activity and its specific aspects), to the politicisation of topics or persons, to its time dimensions (past, present, and future), to different activities of politicisation (adversaries, unintended changes, the actors themselves), as well as to opposing evaluations of politicisation. The data set consists of the plenary debates of the UK House of Commons, the (West) G…
Internationalization and democratization interconnected : the Swedish and Finnish parliaments debating membership in the League of Nations in 1920
2019
In the aftermath of the First World War, constitutions of European states were widely democratized and parliamentarized, and similar turns were expected in international relations as a consequence of the creation of the League of Nations. This comparative analysis of Swedish and Finnish parliamentary debates on the League membership focusing on conceptualizations of the national versus international demonstrates how democratization and internationalization merged discursively. This happened to a greater extent than in the British parliament or the First Assembly of the League. Such entanglements followed from the interconnectedness of constitutional and foreign policy questions during prece…
A Lost Opportunity to Parliamentarize The European Commission : Bagehot, Weber and a Debate in 1960
2022
The article emphasizes the significance of EU studies for political thought and concepts. It deals with the seemingly technical topic of the membership of cabinet ministers in parliament. This practice arose in eighteenth-century Westminster and has been discussed since the mid-nineteenth century, Walter Bagehot's and Max Weber's writings being landmarks. When the European Parliamentary Assembly in 1960 interpreted the Treaty of Rome, it took the view, by a narrow margin, that membership of the Parliament was incompatible with membership of the Commission. The debate on the compatibility of dual membership could have been a way to promote the parliamentarization of the EU. peerReviewed
La nuova Aula della Camera dei Deputati. L'emiciclo dell'Assemblea
2018
Per l’ottimale funzionalità dell’Aula, Basile si era affidato agli studi fatti in occasione del progetto per il II Concorso del Palazzo del Parlamento, scongiurando gli ibridismi (ingiustamente esaltati da critiche decontestualizzate) dell’Aula Comotto; dalla tipologia delle aule progettate per il secondo Palazzo del Parlamento riprende la configurazione planimetrica «semicircolare, con un prolungamento a forma di rettangolo» come la più adatta acusticamente e rispondente a «quella bellezza che procede dal costante e armonico andamento di tutte le linee concentriche dal centro alla periferia, dal basso fino in alto, senza rotture o spezzature o infelici ripieghi di sorta» . L’adozione di un vel…
El Europartido en el marco del Parlamento Europeo
2020
La presente opera offre un’analisi del concetto di Europartito, inteso come l’insieme delle interazioni tra partiti politici europei, partiti politici nazionali e gruppi politici del Parlamento europeo. In base alla tesi argomentata dall’Autrice, esiste una stretta connessione tra l'arena parlamentare e il sistema oggetto di studio, in quanto l'evoluzione del Parlamento europeo ha influenzato il consolidamento dei tratti identificativi degli attori politici attivi a livello europeo, e viceversa. Non si tratta di un condizionamento unidirezionale ma sinallagmatico. Utilizzando un approccio descrittivo e diacronico, basato sui dati raccolti nel corso delle legislature europei, l’analisi di ci…
