The problem of amending special statutes, between revisions and adaptation: will the transitional phase ever be overcome?

Abstract

The essay aims to assess the current situation regarding the process of adapting the special statutes required by Article 10 of Constitutional Law No. 3 of 2001. To this end, after briefly outlining the consequences of the ongoing transition period on the extension of the powers of the special regions, it considers the new procedure for approving the statutes of the special regions, before reviewing some of the initiatives taken (or inspired) by the special regions to adapt their statutes to the reform of regionalism, and some of the statutory reforms that have actually been approved in recent years.
