Publisher's Synopsis
The process of fragmentation of the international legal order, and the absence of constitutional devices governing the connections between the various legal regimes, can be reduced to a rational picture only through the activity of the judges. Against this background, judges play a crucial role in creating connections between legal regimes and proceedings. The metaphor of dialogue has been widely used in literature, and this concept was variously understood in different meanings: a vehicle for transplants, an informal way of communication between judicial and political bodies, or a new paradigm of judicial relations between actors not belonging to the same legal order. Starting from this assumption, this book brings together scholars belonging to different fields of legal research - constitutional law, EU law, WTO law, public international law, jurisprudence - in order to carry out a comprehensive appraisal of this phenomenon. The book provides a wide picture of the latest development of the role of the judges in the international legal order.
