Quando una disciplina attuativa si sottrae al circuito democratico: il caso delle linee guida ANAC per l’attuazione dei contratti pubblici e la loro difficoltà di classificazione

The article, part of a wider research on “law without politics” – concerning, among other things, the regulation activity of the Independent Administrative Authorities –, analyses the regulation powers of the Anticorruption Authority (ANAC) in the context of the carrying out of the Public Contracts Law (d.lgs. n. 50/2016). It focuses especially on the “guidelines” of the ANAC and their position in the system of the sources of law: in fact, these present normative characters, although they are made by a non-representative institution.
