Abstract

The appointment of a “technical government” in Italy in 2011 raised many criticism, mostly related to its lack of democratic legitimacy. The peculiar nature of this government has been justified with the risk of default of Italy which the “normal” political processes were assumed unable to avoid. In this article the justification based on emergency is related to Carl Schmitt’s theory of dictatorship. The hypothesis of this article is that technical government(s) are tools of a more comprehensive social and political change towards a society based on the bureaucratisation of wider aspects of social and political life, objective evaluations, meritocracy.
