I “vettori comunicativi” del costituzionalismo tedesco: il dialogo sui diritti fondamentali tra Corte costituzionale federale e Corti costituzionali dei Länder | ||
in Diritto pubblico comparato ed europeo , n. 3 , 2013 , 1069-1082 | ||
The article focuses on the judicial dialogue between the Bundesverfassungsgericht and the sixteen Landesverfassungsgerichte in Germany. It underlines the importance of this constant confrontation, also to understand the relationship between the constitutional national Courts and the European Courts (of Luxembourg and of Strasbourg). Moreover, the German experience shows how the increase of the judicial guarantees of the individual rights can be realized also from the bottom to the top. The same thing happens in the United States in the 70’s after the elaboration of the doctrine of New Judicial Federalism by the judge of the Supreme Court William Brennan. | ||
