Justice reform between Carlo Nordio and Giorgia Meloni
The constitutional reform of the judicial system (the so-called Nordio reform) that was decided by a confirmatory referendum held on 22 and 23 March 2026, has generated intense conflict between the government and the judiciary. At the centre of these tensions are the separation of careers between public prosecutors and judges, with the establishment of two separate High Councils of the Judiciary, and the creation of a High Disciplinary Court comm…
Countries you go, asylum adjudication you find.” Asylum appeals implementation arrangements, actors' discretion, and organizational practices
The article investigates the implementation of a crucial area of the EU asylum policy, which is asylum adjudication at the appeal stage. According to the Common European Asylum System, Member States must guarantee asylum seekers an effective remedy against first‐instance decisions. However, the EU policy framework leaves space for each country to choose its implementation model. Filling a gap in the literature on asylum policy implementation, the…
The organizational reasons for wrongdoing. The case of Italy’s Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSM)
Many scholars have highlighted the individual, organizational and inter-organizational causes of organizational wrongdoing; others have focused on its (negative) consequences or have analyzed how it can persist and spread between organizations. An underlining assumption shared by many of those studies is that organizational wrongdoing is a deviant, society-damaging phenomenon originating from individual and organizational actors’ pursuit of undue…
Implementing NRRP policies and the interest groups perspective in the justice sector
In the justice sector, the main objective of NRRP policies is to \nenhance the performance of the judiciary through comprehensive \nactions that impact various areas, including the courts, organizational \nmatters, civil and criminal proceedings, alternative dispute \nresolution, digitization, judicial and staff training, and judicial governance. \nThis context presents an excellent opportunity for a new \ncycle of policy design and implementatio…
Up-scaling social innovation in asylum adjudication
Italy, as other European countries, saw a dramatic increase in international protection claims, heavily impacting the workload of Italian lower courts entitled to re-examine refusal decisions on asylum. The Court of Catania, in Sicily, was the most affected by this situation due to its geographical position, so that in 2016 it registered an increase of 514% in its new proceedings related to international protection. This surge in asylum claims af…
Street-level Bureaucrats and Coping Mechanisms.The Unexpected Role of Italian Judges in Asylum Policy Implementation
In spite of a great relevance of the Common EU Asylum System (CEAS) for the whole, still ongoing, EU migration crisis, few academic research focuses on the CEAS implementation at national level and/or in comparative perspective. This explorative study aims to fill this exact gap offering, through a crucial case study perspective, up-to-date data on the CEAS implementation in Italy. The focus of the article is on the judicial stage through which a…
Political corruption in Italy
At least since the 1990s, corruption has continued to be listed as one of the major shortcomings affecting old and new European democracies. In spite of that, measuring political corruption is still a tricky task. In this scenario, some recent studies proposed to turn the attention to the judicial actions to curb corruption, through criminal prosecution, shedding light specifically on the investigations involving high-level politicians (Popova an…
A shallow rationalisation? ‘Merger mania‘ and side-effects in the reorganisation of public-service delivery
This article focuses on the mix of reorganisation measures recently adopted by Italian governments in the delivery of public services in four policy sectors that are (co)managed at different levels of government, but all mostly delivered locally. The aim is twofold: to understand whether a single, coherent approach to rationalisation can be identified in the policy provisions; and how – and how much – the onset of austerity affected governments’ …

The aim of this article is to analyze judicial reform paths and trajectories in four countries of this area: Slovenia, Croatia, Romania and Serbia. In each country, in fact, the effectiveness of the eu ’s leverage was conditioned by some intrinsic propert…
Powerful resistance against a long-running personal crusade
A distinguishing feature of the Berlusconi era has undoubtedly been his personal conflict with the judiciary. Therefore, this article explores the impact of Berlusconi's 20 years in politics on the Italian judicial system. The main argument developed in this analysis is that, thanks to a strong institutional framework built with the 1948 constitution, the Italian judiciary continued to guarantee an effective mechanism of checks and balances. In s…
