La Corte costituzionale e i giudici sono i protagonisti del nostro sistema di controllo di costituzionalità, chiamati insieme ad animarlo ciascuno nel proprio ruolo. Nei primi quaranta anni di vita della Corte costituzionale, dal 1956 al 1996, entrambi i soggetti procedono a una lunga serie di tentativi per accordare gli strumenti processuali di cui dispongono. I loro rapporti si fanno così sempre più stretti, e dalle iniziali incomprensioni si passa dapprima a una relazione di leale colleganza e poi a una reale condivisione del medesimo lavoro e dei medesimi obiettivi. Dalla metà degli anni novanta a oggi la Corte e i giudici si presentano più che mai uniti, e tutte le regole che presiedono alla loro relazione sono confermate e rafforzate. Al giro di boa del nuovo millennio, tuttavia, entrano in scena altri elementi, quali il sempre più intenso ricorso all'interpretazione conforme a Costituzione e la nuova dimensione europea della giustizia italiana, che possono rimettere in discussione gli equilibri finora raggiunti.

The open access book examines the consequences of the Italian Constitutional Court’s Judgment 238/2014 which denied the German Republic’s immunity from civil jurisdiction over claims to reparations for Nazi crimes committed during World War II. This landmark decision created a range of currently unresolved legal problems and controversies which continue to burden the political and diplomatic relationship between Germany and Italy.

This edited volume explores the relationship between constitutionalism and populism in the Italian context. Italian populism is of interest to comparative lawyers for many reasons. Firstly, the country has a long-lasting tradition of anti-parliamentarism over the course of its history as a unitary state. After the 2018 general election, it has turned into the first European country in which two self-styled populist parties formed a coalition government. Although it collapsed in August 2019, many issues that it had raised remain. Secondly, as Italy is a founding member of the European Communities, the constitutional implications of populist politics have to be considered not only within the national framework but also in a wider context. This book argues that the relationship between populism and constitutionalism should not be seen in terms of mutual exclusion and perfect opposition. Indeed, populism frequently relies on concepts and categories belonging to the language of constitutionalism (majority, democracy, people), offering a kind of constitutional counter-narrative.
This book deals with six EU Member States analysing two areas of substantive law: transfer of undertakings and equality legislation.
