Parlamentarismo e soluzione presidenziale. Osservazioni su Max Weber di fronte alla crisi del sistema politico tedesco

Parlamentarianism and Presidential Solution. observations on Max Weber amidst the Crisis of the German Political System abstract: The contribution focuses on the meaning of the Weberian political writings that appeared between the summer of 1918 and the beginning of 1919. It tries to justify the passage from a text such as “Parliament and government” to “The future institutional form of Germany”, that is, from the parliamentarian proposal within the constitutional monarchy to the direct election of the prime minister. At the center of this passage is the tension between the bureaucratization process and the ‘energetic’ impact of the political dimension.
