Book Review: Sabrina Ragone, Parlamentarismos Y Crisis Económica: Afectación De Los Encajes Constitucionales En Italia Y España, Barcelona, 2020, pp. 220

Abstract

Sabrina Ragone is an Associate Professor of Comparative Public Law at the University of Bologna. Her latest book examines how the economic crisis between 2008 and 2015 affected constitutional mechanisms in Spain and Italy (actually, what she literally calls encajes constitucionales in Spanish). The analysis pursues a clear aim, is limited within a well-defined period of time and based on an accurate methodology. There is also a well-set background of constitutional values from which the Author can draw critical conclusions from a perspective of constitutional law . Such critical conclusions are especially valuable for anyone who is interested in comparative constitutional law, as the Author depicts deep analogies between Spain and Italy in the field explored.
