The Constitution of Italy: axiologica continuity between the domestic and international levels of governance?

More broadly, the report explores how to ensure axiological continuity between the principles and values that govern the life of a given polity within its boundaries and those that should characterise the international community. The report also observes that the autonomous language of transnational ‘constitutionalism’ does not readily correspond to what constitutional lawyers mean by the same word. In Italian scholarship, a number of scholars have come to speak about ‘weak’ or ‘post-modern’ constitutionalism, typical of the era of globalisation. Constitutional amendments regarding the EU are limited; further amendments have been considered, including a reference to ‘supreme principles of the Italian legal order and of the inviolable human rights’.
