In recent decades, public opinions and policy makers have emphasized issues of internal security to such an extent that in many Western countries, including Italy, the usage of the Armed Forces in supporting t public order has become a common practice. In this essays the author has investigated the complex dynamics of so-called "blurring" between two institutions (Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies) otherwise irreducible in their differentiation, a phenomenon that is taking place according to different trends.
