    This course analyses procedures and practices of law-making in contemporary democracies.

    • The first part places law-making among other parliamentary functions, underlining the close interrelationship and intertwining between the main features of the law-making process and the form of government.
    • The second part is devoted to parliamentary procedures for law-making and is divided into two sections: (a1) a historical approach, exploring the main models adopted in the UK, France and US (respectively, the tThree rReadings in the UK; the “‘Bureaux System”’ in France; and the Permanent Specialized Committees in the US), and (b2) a section focusing on a key driver of the transformation of law-making procedures: the growing complexity of legislation (‘complexification’), a key factor that is transforming contemporary law-making procedures.
    • The third and final part explores specific law-making practices through a comparative study of different jurisdictions.

    This course was written by Professor Nicola Lupo, Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali.
