Partiti politici e forma di governo nei dibattiti della dottrina italiana 

(Dalla tregua istituzionale alla seconda legislatura)

N. 159

Summary - In Italy, after the fall of Fascism, the changing processes of the form of State and of government were influenced by the initiative of the political parties belonging to the committee of National Freedom. Also for this reason, asserts the a., during the years following the second world war there was in respect of the political parties a greater attention from the Italian constitutionalists and, in particular, from those scholars who, in an anti-formalistic optics, were putting to themselves the problem of the relation between politics and law not believing any more possible to leave aside in the study of the sphere of the juridic the sphere of the prejuridic. On the other hand, the political parties after having been considered for a long time as the object of a strictly political investigation, following, their constitutionalization, could not be ignored any longer even by those jurists bent on formalism. However in Italy remained some strong suspicions against the political parties, the roots of which sank in the liberal tradition, in the catholic-liberal, as well as in a part of the Fascist doctrine. In conclusion, maintains the a., the polemic raised against the political parties during the works of the Constituent Assembly and in the fifties, even though it may appear actual at present, at that time certainly it was not.
