    La democrazia rappresentativa nelle forme e nei limiti delle Costituzioni europee
    in Studi sull'integrazione europea , Anno IX, n. 2, maggio-agosto ,  2014 ,  307-320
    This essay deals with the forms of representative democracy in the Constitutions of the twenty-eight EU Member States and tries to identify who takes and how are taken the most important and general decisions. In particular the essay evaluates: the composition of the electorate and the way the people exercises its sovereignty; the basic rules of the electoral laws that periodically allow the election of a parliamentary assembly; the legitimation of constitutional institutions: not only Parliaments, but also Heads of State, Governments and – when operating – Constitutional Courts.
