Abstract

Good governance also involves the affirmation and practice of some principles that allow the structures of the public space to administrate the general interest in the respect of the democracy and of the state of law pre-requisites, as well as the ones of a good administration: trust and predictability, openness and transparency, responsibility, efficiency and efficacy. The assurance of such desideratum imposes that the rules invested with the force of law, applicable to the juridical rapports to be clear, not equivoques, predictable, to allow both the protection of public interest and the respect of the citizens’ dignity and interests. The evaluation of the quality of regulation represents a necessary process of the appreciation of the impact that juridical norms are intended to produce and measures in which the outcomes of the implementation correspond to the ones established during the stage of formulating the public policy. The study tries to identify ways of evaluating the quality of regulation, valid in a social and political space governed by democratic rules and principles.
