PARLIAMENTARISM AND DEMOCRACY: A DIALOGUE BETWEEN EXPERIENCES FROM DIFFERENT EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Asunción de la Iglesia Chamarro, Chair of Constitutional Law, University of Navarra; Miguel Maduro, Dean and VdA Chair in Digital Governance at Católica Global School of Law, Portuguese Catholic University; Francesco Palermo, Professor of Comparative Law, University of Verona. Introduced by Lorenza Violini, Professor of Constitutional Law, University of Milan
The meeting aims to highlight the problems advanced democracies face in terms of parliamentary representation (which is losing weight to governments), also considering recent proposals to introduce a new form of government in Italy that seeks to have the Prime Minister directly elected by the people. This is a useful reflection to understand the dynamics of various government forms (including the European one) and the improvement prospects.
