Toward a Learning Cycle Data‐Governance Toolkit for Rule‐Makers and Policy Leaders in Smart Cities
This commentary article presents a learning‐centric approach to smart cities [FUTURA] with a triadic quality assurance method, inclusive design and use, risk management, and rights protection. The model displays high suitability for contexts of intensive digital transformation, leading to a rise in fairness, social inclusion, and intergenerational sustainability in cities experiencing comprehensive processes of innovation that are data‐driven and…
Where is the law living? Juridicity and methods of research in the works of Susan Silbey
Cet article s’intéresse à la conception du droit à l’œuvre dans les travaux de S. Silbey et observe que celle-ci la conduit à refuser de rouvrir la question des « sources sociales » du droit. Or, à partir de quel stade les pratiques observées relèvent plus d’une forme de « droit vivant » agissant au niveau d’un groupe social que de la reproduction du droit de l’État ? Indépendamment même de la question des critères de la « juridicité », peut-on s…

Who wins in the ‘quality of justice’? The redistributive effects of two waves of judicial reform in Italy
The quality of justice is nowadays one of the central and most debated issues on the agenda of international and European politics. In many ways, speaking of rights and judicial politics in terms of the courts’ performance reduces the potential for conflict political actors and regulators encounter when they embark on reform of the court system. Italy provides an example of this phenomenon; yet very little has been said about the potential spill …
Prendre la légalité duale au sérieux. Expériences de recherche et méthodologies interdisciplinaires
Réformes judiciaires et État de droit. Analyse comparée des pays de l’Union européenne
Depuis quelques décennies, les études portant sur la promotion de l’État de droit et la qualité de la justice, dans les pays européens, s’appuient sur une meilleure prise en compte des conditions de mise en œuvre des réformes du système judiciaire et des systèmes de justice en général. Cette perspective, à son tour, s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un courant promouvant des réformes qui touchent aux contextes institutionnels, voire aux règles formelles,…
Reforming the judiciary through standards: Agency empowerment and centre (re)building in Italy, 2001–2015
The Italian judiciary has been under the spotlight for more than two decades. The key criticism addressed to it has been the lack of organizational capacity, which is reflected in the trial time frame. After 2000, European institutions launched a new and comprehensive policy stream, targeting the administrative and organizational capacities of courts and public prosecutor offices. The pivotal policy instrument is represented by standards and soft…
Economic Crisis in a Stalemated Democracy: The Italian Case
In Southern Europe, the economic crisis (2008-2013) triggered a deeper political crisis, affecting a number of aspects of a representative democracy. Italy provides a particularly telling case of what happens when an economic crisis occurs in an unstable political context characterized by low government effectiveness, low efficiency, corruption, decline of electoral participation, fragmented and radicalized party competition, social inequality, h…
Beyond Judicial Independence: Rule of Law and Judicial Accountabilities in Assessing Democratic Quality
Judicial independence is traditionally deemed to ensure citizens about the impartiality of adjudication and, by doing so, to guarantee the legitimacy of the authoritative allocation of power that is exercised by a non-elective actor, that is, the judge. However, despite its relevance, this concept in itself cannot cast a proper light on the dynamics and the logics of action judicial actors follow in prosecuting and adjudicating cases. In this pap…

The Power Knocks at the Courts' Back Door: Two Waves of Postcommunist Judicial Reforms
In the postcommunist countries' candidate to the European membership, the EU and the Council of Europe exercised a heavy pressure on domestic elite to promote the adoption of institutional guarantees of judicial independence and judicial capacity. Relying on a wide set of interviews with the key actors of the European and domestic institutions, this article will discuss the logic of action of the judicial reforms adopted in Poland, Czech Republic…
Unpacking Policy Transfer, Discovering Actors: The French Model of Judicial Education Between Enlargement and Judicial Cooperation in the EU
Constructing European Constitutional Discourse? Arguments for Common Values in the European Convention
In this contribution I reconstruct the main arguments that have been accepted inside the constitutional discourse throughout the European Convention. I focus in particular on arguments that deal more with values and principles than with institutional instruments and organizational arrangements. Deliberative democracy provides the theoretical framework for the analysis, with emphasis on ideational and cognitive factors. I do not argue that the Con…
