Abstract

The volume focuses on the Alpine Convention and it protocols and presents their opportunities and possibilities (in terms of general framework) to regional and national administrations interested in the improvement and protection of the Alps. The book is divided into four chapters. In the first one, describe the Alpine Convention general principle and the current situation of the agreement in the nine European countries that signed it. In the second part, the authors present the main characteristics (aims and instruments) and the innovative contents (with regard to Italian legislative framework) of the Alpine Convention protocols. The third part study the relationship between the principles establish by the Alpine Convention and it protocols on the one hand and the Italian regional legislative framework on the other hand. The authors analyse the Italian regional legislative framework in order to assess if the suggestions put forward by the Alpine Convention protocols are already considered in the different Italian regional legislative framework. The authors verified the coherence of the Italian regional plans and measures with regards to the aims of the Alpine Convention protocols. In the fourth part, the authors identify some legal and planning instruments already present in both Italian national and regional legislative framework that could encourage the application of the Alpine Convention protocols and to rich its aims. Despite the fact that the volume does not directly evaluate the impact of public policies on regional development in the Alps, it presents for each protocol, some interesting recommendations and proposal aiming at the adjustment and improvement of Alpine Convention protocols in the Italian context.
