ABSTRACT

Italy has experienced different kinds of involution of parliamentary democracy and the legislative output over the course of the past couple of decades. Following the ‘Berlusconi-era’ (1994–2011) two major issues have dominated the evolution of Italian politics: technocratic governments (predominantly that of Monti in 2011–2013) and the recent emergence of populist parties (e.g. the Five Star Movement, the League). Despite the apparent opposition of these phenomena, they do share many commonalities with regard to their approaches to the legislative process. They both fostered an acceleration of established in Italian law-making, which also become more apparent in the last decade. The constraints provided for by the 1948 Constitution (including the Head of State and the independent and powerful Constitutional Court) had so far limited impact on these problematic trends.

摘要

在过去的几十年里，意大利经历了不同类型的议会民主和立法产出的内卷。在“贝卢斯科尼时代”（1994-2011）之后，两个主要问题主导了意大利政治的演变：技术官僚政府（主要是 2011-2013 年的蒙蒂政府）和最近出现的民粹主义政党（例如五星运动、联盟）。尽管这些现象有明显的对立面，但它们在立法程序的方法上确实有许多共同点。他们都促进了意大利法律制定的加速，这在过去十年中也变得更加明显。
