Abstract

This article challenges whether there should be a procedural bankruptcy law for
municipalities. It sets out a list of alternatives ranging from structured to more
discretionary, debtor- or creditor-oriented approaches. It questions whether the
administration of these cases is more a matter of politics rather than of procedural, bankruptcy law. This question is embodied in a comparison of two legal systems
(Italy and United States) and two similar, yet different cases (‘Rome’ and ‘Detroit’)
and their implications.
