This paper introduces the special issue of the RGDPC dedicated to crisis and sustainability of decentralization in the EU. It deals with both European and national constitutional side effects of the economic crisis, in light of how it was managed from a legal point view. As regards the EU, the author explains the main features of the constitutional mutation that resulted, first of all, from the tendencies to improve intergovernmental mechanisms and to avoid amending primary law or passing secondary sources. With respect to various member states, she analyses the "golden rule" constitutional amendments and the effects on institutions -especially courts and parliaments-, focusing eventually on the changes that occurred with respect to regional and local autonomy.

Abstract
This paper introduces the special issue of the RGDPC dedicated to crisis and sustainability of decentralization in the EU. It deals with both European and national constitutional side effects of the economic crisis, in light of how it was managed from a legal point view. As regards the EU, the author explains the main features of the constitutional mutation that resulted, first of all, from the tendencies to improve intergovernmental mechanisms and to avoid amending primary law or passing secondary sources. With respect to various member states, she analyses the "golden rule" constitutional amendments and the effects on institutions -especially courts and parliaments-, focusing eventually on the changes that occurred with respect to regional and local autonomy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
