Autonomia finanziaria degli enti territoriali al tempo della crisi, tra unione europea e garanzia dei diritti

The thesis aims to reconstruct the current structure of the financial autonomy of local authorities Italians, and particularly the Italian regions, in the light of legislative and constitutional reforms approved by the Italian Parliament in recent years (such as the balanced budget constitutional reform of 2012) . The study focuses on the Italian situation in the light of European constraints that have taken place over the years from those contained in the Maastricht Treaty to those connected to the current economic and financial crisis. The aim is to verify whether the choices of the Italian legislature are consistent with the process of political European union and what consequences they have had on the guarantee of rights. In particular, the study focuses on the guarantee of social rights in the current political and economic environment, at a European and national level, with particular attention to the right to health.
