Checks and balances and international openness
1991
In the course of a long digression within his famous inspection of Plato’s political philosophy, Karl Popper (1945: 121) argues that “the problem of politics” is the following: “How can we so organize political institutions that bad or incompetent rulers can be prevented from doing too much damage?” Popper’s answer is: “the theory of checks and balances”, which he defines as the striving to establish “institutional control of the rulers by balancing their powers against other powers” (122). From that general approach to “the problem of politics”, it follows that democracy is definitely not the rule of the majority, or the sovereignty of the people (a conception that entails various paradoxe…

Tradycyjny instytucjonalizm i jego znaczenie dla nauk politycznych
2015
The paper presents academic achievements of traditional institutionalism, the first scientific approach in political science, which was developed since the second part of the 19th century in USA, Great Britain, Germany and France. The author argues that this orientation had a creative influence on the progress of the discipline, however this impact is not appreciated by contemporary studies in the field of political science and political theory where limited understanding of the old institutionalism is promoted. The revision of this state of affairs has shown that, apart from the analysis of formal structures and institutions of state power, the traditionalists also have studied political p…
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…

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

Serial Production, Serial Photography, and the Writing of History in Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance.
2010
Three Farmers on their Way to a Dance, titre d’une photographie qu’August Sander prit en 1914, hante le roman éponyme de Richard Powers. Cette photographie faisait partie d’un projet plus vaste, intitulé « Hommes du vingtième siècle » par Sander qui entendait dresser un inventaire des habitants de sa province natale, le Westerwald. Sander composa ainsi un catalogue de plus de 600 photos d’Allemands de tous types, dont il fit plus tard paraître une partie sous le nom de Visage de notre temps. Dans le roman de Richard Powers, le motif de la série se déploie entre les pôles incarnés par Henry Ford et August Sander, dont les séries de voitures et de photographies deviennent la métaphore du mode…
