Funzione ausiliaria della Corte dei conti e disfunzioni strutturali della decisione finanziaria nello stato di democrazia pluralista
2021
Lo scritto affronta il tema delle difficili relazioni fra vincoli di bilancio euro-nazionale, autonomia finanziaria degli enti territoriali e garanzia dei livelli essenziali delle prestazioni concernenti i diritti civili e sociali. Si tratteggia dunque l'evoluzione del quadro normativo in tema di controlli sui bilanci degli enti territoriali e giudizi di parificazione per mostrare come ciò abbia condotto all’attivazione del sistema di garanzie giurisdizionali della Costituzione. Si presenta poi il tema dell’ausiliarietà della Corte dei conti mirando a collocarlo oltre i rapporti fra organi costituzionali e ad individuare i limiti dei controlli sugli atti di natura finanziaria. Si prende dun…

How Does Dialogue Really Take Place in a Democratic Transition?
2015
Our aim in this paper is to examine and critically reflect the nature of the dialogic processes in the case of a national dialogue in a project of democracy construction. The case deals with development of a new democratic constitution subsequent to Tunisia's Arab Spring revolution of 2011, a process experienced and documented by the first author. We explore how dialogue did and did not take place in the constitutional process. Theoretical interest lies in the preconditions for dialogue, the fundamentals and functions of dialogue, and the questions of power and power asymmetries especially from the deliberative and emancipative perspectives. peerReviewed

Peace as a Priority
2012
Chapter 9 underlines how since its inception the European Union has presented itself to the world as a great “peace project”. The European project consists in creating a “community of peace and democracy” based on the conviction that peace does not emerge from dissuasion but rather out of cooperation. Europe attempts to remodel the world by realising the Kantian dream of “perpetual peace”, which is not based on the balance of military powers (or the supremacy of one of them) but rather on the universal recognition of the dignity of the human being, on the universal guarantee of human rights, and on sustainable human development, which means superseding the current neoliberal model of global…

The political attribution of values to Intangible Cultural Heritage: the consuetudinary courts
2021
En el año 2009 la UNESCO incluyó el Tribunal de las Aguas de Valencia y el de Hombres Buenos de Murcia en la Lista Representativa del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad. Ambas instituciones de derecho consuetudinario fueron reconocidas a través de la más elevada categoría de protección inmaterial a nivel internacional. A lo largo de las últimas décadas se han emitido resoluciones consultivas (culturales, jurídicas) y desarrollado una agenda de investigación que suscitan el interés por el análisis de los valores atribuidos o atribuibles a ciertas manifestaciones culturales (materiales o inmateriales) cuya apelación serviría a los actores sociales y políticos para justificar su re…
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CITIZENS’ TRUST IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE
2021
The article analyses the relationship between citizens’ trust in local government institutions and participation in local governance. The research results have revealed that citizens’ trust in local government is still low and participation lacks activeness. Civic participation is more active than political participation. According to the research results, the main reasons of absence of participation in local governance are lack of information and knowledge about public participation, lack of information about participation opportunities, lack of communication and response to expressed opinion and suggestions. The results of quantitative research showed that participation and trust dimensio…
The notion of social democracy
2021
There are various ways to define social democracy. Depending on scholars, texts, times, it can refer to very different things. Instead of studying one of the various meanings of social democracy, this work aimed at explaining that polysemy and highlighting its overall consistency. It happens that each of the meanings of social democracy is related to the following definition: social democracy is a democracy of real individuals, namely a view of democracy which relies on a materialistic definition of the people. However, a part of recent labour laws threatens the overall cohesion of the notion of social democracy by undermining one of its meanings.
Tortura y malos tratos en la España democrática
2020
La tortura en la España contemporánea y democrática es una realidad preocupante, como lo muestran Informes de los más relevantes organismos internacionales en la lucha y prevención de la tortura, como el Comité Europeo para la Prevención de la tortura del Consejo de Europa, ONG, sentencias internas del Estado español y, gravemente, sentencias del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. Estas condenas a España del TEDH se producen por la violación del artículo 3 del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos, por no realizar de manera exhaustiva y adecuada las investigaciones ante denuncias por malos tratos y torturas, y la última condena también por tratos inhumanos. Realidades que ponen al desnudo…
