  • español

    En el texto se mostrará el desarrollo de una tendencia monocrática en España y Italia gracias al uso de variables como la fragmentación y la polarización, la iniciativa legislativa y el uso de decretos de gobierno. Estos aspectos aquí se analizan en un marco de doble personalización que ve este fenómeno interpenetrando tanto el frente institucional como el de la sociedad civil. A través del análisis se llega a la conclusión que a medida que aumentan la fragmentación y la polarización de las asambleas legislativas, el ejecutivo y sobre todo su presidente adquieren una primacía. Un cambio de paradigma en el cual hoy el “principio monocrático” parece prevalecer sobre el principio “colegiado”.

    The text will show the development of a monocratic trend in Spain and Italy thanks to the use of variables such as fragmentation and polarization, the legislative initiative and the use of the government decrees. These aspects are analyzed here in a framework of double personalization that sees this phenomenon interpenetrating both the institutional front and that of civil society. The conclusion is that as the fragmentation and polarization of the legislative assemblies increase, the executive and especially its president acquire primacy. A paradigm shift in which today the “monocratic principle” seems to prevail over the “collegial” principle.
