Balancing, Proportionality, and Constitutional Rights
Full text linkIn the theory and practice of constitutional adjudication, proportionality review plays a crucial role. At a theoretical level, it lies at core of the debate on rights adjudication; in judicial practice, it is a widespread decision-making model characterizing the action of constitutional, supra-national and international courts. Despite its circulation and centrality in contemporary legal discourse, proportionality in rights-adjudication is still extremely controversial. It raises normative questions—concerning its justification and limits—and descriptive questions—regarding its nature and distinctive features. The chapter addresses both orders of questions.
Part I centres on the justification of proportionality review, the connection between proportionality, balancing and theories of rights and the critical aspects of this connection.
Part II identifies and analyses the different forms of proportionality both in review, as a template for rights-adjudication, and of review, as a way of defining the scope and limits of adjudication
Deliberative Democracy, Social Rights and the Modulation of Judicial Review
Full text linkRoberto Gargarella has infused into constitutional theory a deliberative approach to constitutional review and rights adjudication. By this, he has enriched our understanding of deliberative democracy as a political system in which the judiciary can play a central role, especially through the institution of constitutional review. Furthermore, he has provided us with crucial insights into the deliberative potential of this institution, shedding light on the different ways in which it may serve to secure the essential conditions of democratic deliberation. The article centers on this twofold, crucial contribution of Gargarella - to constitutional theory and to deliberative democratic theory - with a focus on the relationship between social rights and constitutional review. First, it presents the main controversial issues raised by this relationship, concerning both social rights (1) justiciability and (2) adjudication, Second it highlights the resources provided by Gargarella to understand and address both orders of issues, based on his account of deliberative democracy and constitutional review. Third, the article addresses the resulting view of the action of courts on social rights. In particular, it inquires into the idea of a “third way” for judicial action, requiring to modulate judicial review so as to mediate between judicial inertia and activism.Roberto Gargarella ha incorporado a la teoría constitucional una visión deliberativa del control de constitucionalidad y de la garantía judicial de los derechos. De este modo, ha enriquecido nuestra comprensión de la de-mocracia deliberativa como sistema político en el que la judicatura puede jugar un papel central, especialmente a través de la institución del control de constitucionalidad. Más aún, nos ha proporcionado hallazgos cruciales sobre el potencial deliberativo de esta institución, mostrando las diferentes maneras en las que puede servir para garantizar las condiciones esenciales de la deliberación democrática. El artículo se centra en esta importante doble contribución de Gargarella –a la teoría constitucional y a la teoría de la de-mocracia deliberativa– con especial atención a la relación entre derechos sociales y control de constitucionalidad. Primero, presenta los principales temas controvertidos que plantea esta relación, tanto en lo que concierne a la justiciabilidad de los derechos sociales como a su adjudicación. Segundo, destaca los recursos que Gargarella proporciona para entender y abordar am-bos asuntos, sobre la base de su comprensión de la democracia deliberativa y del control de constitucionalidad. Tercero, analiza la perspectiva sobre la acción de los tribunales en materia de derechos sociales que resulta de ello. En especial, explora la idea de una “tercera vía” de acción judicial, que exi-giría modular el control de constitucionalidad para mediar entre la inercia y el activismo judicia

Deliberative Constitutionalism and Judicial Review
No full textDeliberative constitutionalism is an emerging field that combines constitutional theory – and its emphasis on legal limits to political power – with deliberative democratic theory – and its idea of political deliberation as the source of democratic legitimacy. This combination creates a new framework to address questions of legitimacy that arise in constitutional democracies. The article contributes to this growing area of research by exploring its potential to address the legitimacy of judicial review. First, the article argues that this potential lies in the integration of constitutional theory with a systemic approach to deliberative democracy and the nested idea of a deliberative system. Second, the article draws on this integration to account for the legitimacy of judicial review as an institution embedded in – and shaped by – a deliberative, representative, system
Constitutionally Conforming Interpretation in Italy
No full textThe chapter provides a critical analysis of the evolution and key features of constitutionally conforming interpretation (CCI) in the Italian system. The analysis is divided into five sections. Section 1 introduces the topic and Sections 2 and 3 outline the main features of CCI in the Italian legal system, with a focus on the system of constitutional justice. Section 4 illustrates the main phases in the evolution of CCI in the Italian system. Section 5 addresses the most controversial aspects of CCI, concerning the terms in which the Constitutional Court should interact with ordinary judges, through CCI and the impact of CCI on the concentrated system of judicial review adopted in Italy
A sufficientist approach to reasonabless in legal decision-making and judicial review
No full textI shall argue for a sufficientist understanding of reasonableness in legal decision-making: cognitive or moral optimality are not required for reasonableness; what needed is just that a determination—be it epistemic or practical—is sufficiently good (acceptable, or at least not unacceptable). Correspondingly, judicial review on the ground of unreasonableness requires more than mere suboptimality: it requires failure to achieve the reasonableness threshold.
To develop this idea, I shall first analyse the notions of rationality and reasonableness, examining the role they play in cognition. I shall then consider rationality in legal (and in particular legislative) decision-making, focusing on teleological reasoning. I shall consequently develop an idea of sufficientist reasonableness, by combining the idea of bounded rationality with the idea of deference, as required by institutional coordination in the legal process. Finally, I shall consider when a legislative determination can be considered irrational or unreasonable, and how this is related to the violation of constitutional requirements
Terrorism, Emergency Powers, and the Role of the US Supreme Court
No full textThe dialogue focuses on the major issues of the contemporary theoretical debate on judicial review and the Supreme Court's role in American constitutional democracy. The discussion begins with the US Supreme Court's case Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, successfully argued by Prof. Katyal last year, and covers important issues such as the separation and balance of powers after 9/11, the legitimacy of the laws of terror, the relation between US constitutional law and foreign law, the counter-majoritarian difficulties posed by the exercise of judicial review, and the legal academy's influence on legal practice
Public sector communication and social media: opportunities and limits of current policies, activities, and practices
No full textThis chapter offers a review of the major contributions in the area of PSOs and social media.
Our aim is to discuss both the opportunities and limits of using social media for public sector communications. The first part of the chapter focuses on the main changes of global communications brought by social media, on the evolution of social media adoption and implementation in the framework of the public sector’s modernization, and on the domestication of these platforms in such organizations. It highlights how social media can be integrated into the public sector, its main uses, and the changes that it is bringing to communication flows. The last part of the chapter deals with critiques of and challenges in adopting social media for public sector communication, as well as with key future research questions
