The Democratic Principle in the Making and Implementation of International and European Economic Law

(PRIN 2010/2011– Principal investigator: Enzo Cannizzaro)

The main purpose of this research project is to determine which is the impact of the democratic principle on the exercise of legislative, economic and financial competences at the European and international level. The overarching objective is to figure out a legislative model taking into account the different aspects of the democratic principle as a limit to the taking of economic and financial decisions at the international and European level. In fact, this principle has both substantial and procedural consequences: on the one hand, it requires some kinds of participation and consent in the decision-making related to the international economic governance; on the other hand, it demands the respect of the fundamental principles concerning social economy, social rights and the rule of law. In this sense, the legislative model sought could contribute to provide the guidelines for policies and reforms, related to the economic and social relationships with the recipient countries of financial aids and international cooperation.
