The article poses the problem of the possible identification in the Italian legal system of an organic collection of regulations that govern and control libraries, with special reference to those that carry out a public service. It is basically a question of establishing if in Italy there is a "library law", that in any case represents a more extensive and complex phenomenon than simple library legislation. Reference is in fact made to the concept of "juridical process", as outlined especially by Norberto Bobbio, regarding and strictly connected to the other fundamental concept of juridical system, within the realm of which juridical institutes are born, in a framework that must exclude the presence of "antinomies", that is to say of contradictions between regulations.It is well known that the Italian situation is characterized by the absence of an organic state law on libraries and by the presence, on the other hand, of a vast legislative corpus of a regional nature; this leads to the emergence in the library field not only of legislative sources that differ from those of the state, but even of a plurality of juridical systems, composed not only of formal laws, but of legislative situations of various nature. What has however been lacking up to now, both on the state side and on that of the region, is an activity of systematizing those regulations capable of outlining with precision and effectiveness some fundamental institutes, first and foremost that of public libraries. The most recent developments of basic local autonomy and the progressive establishment of the need for inter-institutional initiatives, based on the principle whereby in the case of two crimes, the punishment for the more serious crime takes precedence over the application of the punishment for the less serious crime, do perhaps make it possible to foresee a path to a better systemic arrangement, which however cannot disregard, obviously, the effective existence of sufficiently equipped library institutes. This can also form the confirmation of some principles established by the institutional school: that is to say the logical precedence of bodies that can be organized over the pure manifestation of legislative will. ; La questione posta nell'articolo riguarda la possibilità di individuare nell'ordinamento italiano un insieme organico di norme che disciplinano e regolano le biblioteche, con particolare riferimento a quelle che svolgono un servizio pubblico. Si tratta insomma di stabilire se esiste in Italia un "diritto delle biblioteche", che rappresenta comunque un fenomeno più ampio e complesso della semplice legislazione bibliotecaria.Viene fatto riferimento al concetto di "sistema giuridico", così come è stato delineato in particolare da Norberto Bobbio, in riferimento e in stretta connessione con l'altro concetto fondamentale di ordinamento giuridico, nell'ambito del quale si determina la nascita degli istituti giuridici, in un quadro che deve escludere la presenza di "antinomie", vale a dire di contraddizione tra le norme.La situazione italiana è caratterizzata, come è ben noto, dall'assenza di una legislazione statale organica sulle biblioteche e dalla presenza, invece, di un vasto corpusnormativo di carattere regionale; ciò porta a configurare l'esistenza in campo bibliotecario non solo di fonti legislative diverse da quelle statali, ma addirittura di una pluralità di ordinamenti giuridici, fatti non solo di leggi formali, ma di realtà normative di varia natura. E' mancata tuttavia, fino ad ora, sia sul versante statale che su quello regionale un'attività di sistematizzazione delle norme capace di delineare con precisione ed efficacia alcuni fondamentali istituti, primo tra tutti quello della biblioteca pubblica.I più recenti sviluppi dell'autonomia locale di base e la progressiva affermazione della necessità di iniziative inter-istituzionali basate sul principio di sussidiarietà permettono forse di intravedere una strada di migliore organizzazione sistemica, che non può tuttavia prescindere, come ovvio, dall'effettiva esistenza di istituti bibliotecari sufficientemente attrezzati. Ciò può anche costituire una conferma di alcuni principi posti dalla scuola istituzionale: vale a dire la precedenza logica di entità organizzabili rispetto alla pura manifestazione di volontà normativa.

This essay examines the processes of transformation & the progressive formalization of Chinese law, particularly civil & commercial law, which have taken place since the beginning of the reform-and-opening process in 1978. The article emphasizes the large-scale rehabilitation & strengthening of laws & procedures as necessary tools in view of the modernization & economic development of the country. Westernization & internationalization of legal norms, particularly in the field of international trade, the central role undertaken by private law, formal litigation, arbitration & third party decision are significant features of this process. The central part of the study focuses on four institutions, considered to be highly indicative of the abovementioned directions & transformations (market economy, private law): a) property, b) contracts, c) special legal vehicles of foreign investments (FIE), d) bankruptcy. Lastly, the study underlines the importance for future (market & western-oriented) developments of the Chinese legal system at large, & not only in the field of international trade, of the entrance of the PRC in the World Trade Organization.
