Opis

Italian Constitutional Justice in Global Context is the first book ever published in English to provide an international examination of the Italian Constitutional Court (ItCC), offering a comprehensive analysis of its principal lines of jurisprudence, historical origins, organization, procedures, and its current engagement with transnational European law. This book describes the "Italian Style" in global constitutional adjudication, and aims to elevateItalian constitutional jurisprudence to an active participant role in global constitutional discourse.

Recenzje

The volume essentially provides a generally systematic overall view of the role of the Constitutional Court in Italy. It thus fosters a move away from the fragmented dialogue that has largely characterised the Court to a more open dialogue with the whole community of interpreters of law. In times of fragility and debate regarding the Italian constitutional system, in a period when the Italian constitutional system in general, and Italian constitutional justice in particular, are often at the forefront of controversy, a text of this kind shows its vitality, and in some way contributes, albeit indirectly, to the strengthening of the central role of constitutional justice and the constitutional system as a whole." - Gaetano Azzariti , Italian Journal of Public Law
