This book presents the evolution of Italian administrative law in the context of the EU, describing its distinctive features and comparing it with other experiences across Europe. It provides a comprehensive overview of administrative law in Italy, focusing on the main changes occurred over the last few decades.Although the respective chapters generally pursue a legal approach, they also consider the influence of economic, social, cultural and technological factors on the evolution of public administration and administrative law.The book is divided into three parts. The first part addresses general issues (e.g. procedures and organization of public administrations, administrative justice). The second part focuses on more specific topics (e.g. public intervention in the economy, healthcare management, local government). In the third part, the evolution of Italian administrative law is discussed in a comparative perspective.
This book examines the issue of free access to information as part of the openness and transparency principles. The free access to public information has become one of the most hotly contested aspects of contemporary government and public administration. Many countries in Europe have well-established Freedom of Information laws (FOIAs), while others have adopted them more recently. The problems that occur in the implementation of FOIAs are different due to the legal and institutional context; nevertheless, patterns of best practices and malfunctioning are comparable. The book analyses in comparative and empirical perspective the respective main challenges. Whilst the existing literature focusses on the legal provisions, this book offers practical insights through 13 national profiles and the EU level, on how effective the legal provisions of FOIAs really prove to be.
Education is a fundamental human right that is recognised as essential for the attainment of all civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. It was not until 2006, on the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), that the right to inclusive education was codified. This volume fills a major gap in the literature on the right of disabled people to education. It examines the theoretical foundations and core content of the right to inclusive education in international human rights law, and explores the various ways of implementing this right through an exploration of legal strategies and mechanisms. With contributions by leaders in the field, this volume advances scholarship on the core content of the right to inclusive education by examining the content and practice of the right at the national, regional and international levels.
Nel 1865 furono emanate le leggi di unificazione amministrativa del Regno d’Italia. In occasione del centocinquantenario, il Dipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche dell’Università di Firenze ha organizzato un progetto di studi sulle trasformazioni che nell’ultimo cinquantennio hanno interessato gli apparati e le attività dell’amministrazione della Repubblica, vista nel suo articolato governo locale e nella sua appartenenza all’Unione europea. Le ricerche hanno coinvolto, nell’arco di quasi due anni, più di centocinquanta studiosi di Università italiane. I risultati sono stati presentati il 15 e 16 ottobre del 2015 a Firenze, la città che centocinquant’anni prima era stata Capitale d’Italia e che nel 1965 aveva ospitato il convegno celebrativo del centenario delle stesse leggi di unificazione amministrativa. Gli studi condotti sono ora pubblicati in forma definitiva e organizzati in otto volumi.
