A Middle-Range theory of legislation

Although legislation is the source of most modern law, it has not been the subject of deeper reflection by the legal community. Attention has mostly been directed to the macro-level of the legislative processes, i.e. discussing philosophical or political foundations and criteria for the "good" legislation, or the "necessity (or not)" of regulating a certain area by legislation. Alternatively, considerations have revolved around the micro-level of the legislative process, i.e. the structure, formulation and impact of different laws on a particular legal system and/or on society. Given this situation, the basic focus of the project will be the construction and analysis of the central link between political bodies and legislative action. There, legislative policies are formulated, i.e. legislative strategies to find the "best way" to implement a certain ideology in the form of legislative action. The various legislative policies are based on the roles assigned to the three traditional legal actors in the legislative process, namely legislative bodies, public authorities and judicial bodies. In particular, legislative policies must take into account the prominent role assigned to any of the three actors in the field under study.
