I governi legislatori*

The essay examines governmental legislative powers from a comparative legal perspective. The analysis gives rises to several methodological issues, which revolve around the difficulties to define what the expression ‘governments as legislators’ means. To sidestep such inconveniences, it suggests governmental legislative powers be examined through an alternative methodological angle, which applies fuzzy taxonomies. It thus proposes a renovated classification that focuses on how governments-as-legislators are operationally located within their politico-constitutional frameworks.
