Populist Government and Constitutional Democracy

Until the first decade of the 21th century, scholars and reporters have identified contemporary populism as an element of anti-systemic revolt; furthermore, they have also recognized an incompatibility between populist phenomenon and government function. However, some recent cases of populist parties in power seem to be able to put into crisis more than one certainty regarding the nature and scope of the populist phenomenon. This observation raises the questions of this work: what harmful effects does populism in government produce on liberal institutions, pluralism, and representation in constitutional democracies? Do these effects merely erode the liberal component, or do they extend to produce a degeneration of democracy as a whole? And finally: what are the risks for democracy? The article corroborates the diarchic theories of democracy and aims to demonstrate the lack of compatibility between the principles of liberal democracy and populist principles, which have a negative impact not only on the liberal component, but also on the quality of democracy in its entirety

Differenziazione territoriale e qualità della democrazia

Il volume affronta lo studio delle fasi del processo di democratizzazione: transizione, consolidamento ed approfondimento. L'analisi, condotta utilizzando specifici indicatori, ispeziona la qualità della democrazia e le peculiarità che questo sistema politico presenta nei differenti contesti territoriali. L'esempio proposto riguarda il caso italiano, sul quale è stata condotta un'analisi empirica rispetto ai meccanismi di tutela dei diritti, delle libertà e degli altri elementi caratteristici dei sistemi democratici. Grazie a questo approccio diventa possibile rendersi conto dell'intollerabile divario che intercorre tra il Centro-Nord ed il Mezzogiorno e degli effetti nefasti che produce
