The role of the Prime Minister in leading and coordinating Ministries and Central Public Administration

Abstract

The Government is a central public authority with a fundamental role in the functioning of the rule of law. Together with the President, the Government represents the executive power of the state. Even if the formation of the Government is in the first instance the result of political agreements, it moves away from the political component and focuses on the administrative component, after the investiture, to implement the political government program. This study analyzes the way in which, according to the constitutional and legal provisions, the Government, by means of the Prime Minister leads and coordinates the activity of the ministries and of the central public administration in achieving the double role, namely political and administrative, in order to observe if the current legislative framework needs to be improved.
