This collection takes a unique approach to introducing the work of Italian constitutional law scholars to the Anglophone discourse while also inviting prominent non-Italian constitutional law scholars to explore and write about constitutional justice in a global context. The book presents six distinct areas of particular interest from a comparative constitutional perspective:
1. The role of legal scholarship in the work of constitutional courts.
2. Structures and processes that contribute to more "open" or "closed" styles of constitutional adjudication.
3. Pros and cons of collegiality in the work of constitutional courts.
4. Forms of access by individuals to constitutional justice.
5. Methods of constitutional interpretation.
6. The relationship between national constitutional adjudication and the transnational context.
In each of these six areas, the volume establishes a new and genuine constitutional dialogue between an Italian scholar presenting a discussion and critical assessment of the specific topic, and a non-Italian scholar who responds by elaborating on the issue from a constitutional law perspective beyond the Italian system. The resulting six such dialogues offer a dynamic, in-depth, multidimensional, national, and transnational/comparative examination of these areas in which the "Italian style of constitutional adjudication" has a distinctive contribution to make to comparative constitutional law in general.

By fostering a deeper understanding of the Italian Constitutional Court within the comparative global space and advancing a creative and fruitful methodological approach, this book will be of interest to academics and researchers in comparative constitutional law.
