This insightful book analyses the role that EU general principles have taken in the protection of fundamental rights within the EU since the Lisbon Treaty. In particular, the author focuses on the relationship between written law (the Charter of Fundamental Rights) and unwritten law (the general principles) within the institutional framework of the EU. The book demonstrates that due to their complementary and autonomous function toward the protection of fundamental rights, the general principles still play a key role within the Union despite the binding force of the Charter.
This book examines different approaches by which states characterised by federal or decentralized arrangements reconcile equality and autonomy.

This volume examines the evolution of reproductive law in Italy from the `far west' of the 1980s and 90s through to one of the most potentially restrictive systems in Europe. The book employs an array of sociological, philosophical and legal material in order to discover why such a repressive piece of legislation has been produced at the end of a period of substantial change in the dynamic of gender relations in Italy. The book also discusses Italian policy within the wider European policy framework.
This book examines the risks to freedom of expression, particularly in relation to the internet, as a result of regulation introduced in response to terrorist threats. The work explores the challenges of maintaining security in the fight against traditional terrorism while protecting fundamental freedoms, particularly online freedom of expression. The topics discussed include the clash between freedom of speech and national security; the multijurisdictional nature of the internet and the implications for national sovereignty and transnational legal structures; how to determine legitimate and illegitimate association online; and the implications for privacy and data protection. The book presents a theoretical analysis combined with empirical research to demonstrate the difficulty of combatting internet use by terror organizations or individuals and the range of remedies that might be drawn from national and international law. The work will be essential reading for students, researchers and policy makers in the areas of Constitutional law; Criminal Law, European and International law, Information and Technology law and Security Studies.

Nella scienza giuridica, come in ogni altra scienza, esistono territori poco esplorati. Il diritto delle arti e dello spettacolo ne costituisce un chiaro esempio, poiché rappresenta un ambito disciplinare poco indagato dai giuristi e dagli operatori del settore, sebbene questi ultimi si confrontino quotidianamente con le tante problematiche giuridiche connesse al fenomeno artistico. L’idea di affrontare in maniera organica questa disciplina, dunque, risponde a una duplice esigenza. Da un lato, questo manuale può rappresentare un valido supporto didattico per chi voglia avvicinarsi allo studio degli istituti ascrivibili al diritto delle arti e dello spettacolo. Dall’altro lato, esso pu...
Il diritto dello spettacolo è una disciplina complessa che, nel corso degli ultimi anni, ha ricevuto una crescente attenzione da parte del legislatore. In particolare, è del novembre del 2017 la legge delega sullo spettacolo dal vivo che fissava l’obiettivo di giungere alla approvazione del c.d. “Codice dello Spettacolo”. L’obiettivo del webinar è stato quello di intavolare un dialogo tra gli operatori del mondo dello spettacolo e i giuristi, in un momento storico del tutto peculiare quale quello che stiamo vivendo. Le misure di contenimento individuate dal Governo in relazione alla migliore gestione della pandemia Covid-19 hanno certamente fatto emergere peculiarità e specifiche...
