- This essay aims to distinguish analytically the meanings of “citizenship” in the contemporary debate. According to the semantic area of reference, citizenship stands for a political status referring to the individual’s position within the polity; a legal status referring to the overall position of a subject characterized by a determinate sphere of capacities; a social status indicating the ascribed or achieved position of a person within the social stratification in the group. After distinguishing the three semantic areas and specifying the methodology used, focus switches to the structure, genesis and internal composition of the semantic areas. These are subsequently summed up in a scheme that accounts for the basic problem that a given semantic area attempts to respond to. The purpose is to explain, on the basis of practical examples, why the distinction is important and why there is so much confusion in the current debate. In the last section, I suggest another distinction, inspired by Aristotle’s third book of Politics according to which we should distinguish between what the citizen is and who a citizen is. The stake of the issue is to inquire on the plausibility of assuming that a person has to enjoy a determinate attribute or capacity in order to have the right or the legal obligation implied by the status of citizenship.

- This paper defends the functional theory of citizenship on the grounds of the conceptual map of contemporary models of citizenship that I have developed elsewhere. I address three different types of criticisms. First, the focus is on the arguments of those who believe the legal model of citizenship needs to be abandoned or rejected all together. Several reasons against this suggestion are highlighted. Second, a short discussion follows of some points made by those contributors to this volume who instead think that the legal model should be not be rejected, but that it still needs to be amended or requires development to fit contemporary migration patterns. Finally, I address the criticisms of those who believe the whole enterprise of developing a general theory of citizenship is flawed since there would be no concept of citizenship independently of political contingencies.

- Resumen: In questo contributo, intendo segnalare i principali punti d’interesse del Congresso internazionale organizzato da Marcial Pons Editor, in collaborazione con l’Università Pompeu Fabra di Barcelona e l’Università di Girona, sul tema Neutralidad y teoría del derecho, che si è svolto a Girona, dal 19 al 23 maggio 2010. Gli interventi sono disponibili in video all’indirizzo: http://www.udg.edu/CulturaJuridica/ Noticies/Arxiudenoticies/tabid/12506/p/17055/language/es-ES/ Default.aspx e verranno presto pubblicati in un volume collettaneo per i tipi di Marcial Pons. I lavori sono stati preceduti, il 19 maggio 2010, dalla presentazione degli ultimi volumi della collana di filosofia del diritto di Marcial Pons, la casa editrice spagnola che ha sostenuto l’evento internazionale. Francisco Laporta (Università Autonoma, Madrid) ha commentato il volume di Ricardo Caracciolo, intitolato El Derecho desde la Filosofía. Ensayos (Madrid, CEPC, 2009). José Juan Moreso (Barcelona, Università Pompeu Fabra) ha presentato la raccolta di saggi di Bruno Celano sulla meta-etica, intitolata Derecho, justicia, razones. Ensayos 2000-2007 (Madrid, CEPC, 2009). La presentazione dei libri si è conclusa con il commento di Rafael Escudero al volume di Paolo Comanducci, Hacia una teoría analítica del derecho. Ensayos escogidos (Madrid, CEPC, 2010). Questi tre titoli danno un’idea delle collane in tema di teoria del diritto e della politica che vengono ospitate dall’editore.

Doppiando il Capo Horn della scienza del diritto : Sull’oggettivismo post-metafisico quale fondamento del positivismo inclusivo

- Inclusive legal positivism has been in the limelight for some time. There are several reasons for this. Among the structural reasons for this general change of direction within general jurisprudence are cultural changes such as the renewed interest for theory of action or normative methodology. This paper discusses José Juan Moreso’s contribution to this debate. The paper focuses especially on the thesis that there would be no connection between non-cognitivism as set out in meta-ethics and positivism in legal theory. This thesis is really the outcome of a compound of different positions: on the political level, the question concerns the possible relationships and tensions between democracy and liberalism. On the ethical and foremost meta-ethical level, the issue basically revolves around the relation between cognitivism and expressivism; and, on the level of legal theory, Moreso attempts to resolve the problem that Benedetto Croce, a century ago, compared to the difficulty of sailing around Cape Horn, i.e. to connect the law and ethics. The paper is divided into five sections. In the first section of the paper, a few historical remarks are made. In section two, I look at how natural law is defined in Moreso. In section three, some observations are made on how legal positivism is qualified in relation to natural law. In section four, I suggest a possible criticism of the conception of moral relativism used by Moreso and recommend an alternative conception that hopefully grasps further features of the way the problem is frequently discussed. Finally, some methodological remarks are made: the choice of disregarding the distinction between authentic and inauthentic normative propositions leads Moreso to conceive the object of dispute between cognitivists and expressivists in an unfruitful way. The lack of distinction between the role played by belief on the one hand and conative attitudes on the other makes it hard, if not impossible to grasp what exactly is the object of this dispute. In fact, their opposition, instead of representing a fertile scientific dialogue becomes similar to a situation where people are talking pass each other. If this outcome is to be avoided and the two positions reconstructed properly, an account of what constitutes belief should complement the theory. Probably greater focus is also needed on what is considered to be the primary function of normative propositions.

- In this paper, a typology of forms of arbitrariness, as related to political power, is sketched out and applied specifically to the analysis of citizenship policies and border-control techniques. The paper offers a basic typology of forms of arbitrariness making possible a hopefully clarifying differentiation among forms of abuse: (a) illegal practices, (b) irrational policies, and (c) discriminatory statuses.

- Questo lavoro mira a ricostruire e discutere l’argomentazione della Corte costituzionale tedesca nella sentenza sul Trattato di Lisbona sulla natura dell’Unione europea, tema molto dibattuto in ambito accademico, al fine di chiarire i motivi per cui la relazione fra federalismo e democrazia all’interno dell’Unione risulta così tesa. L’idea secondo la quale l’UE non può legittimamente diventare uno stato federale senza chiamare in causa il potere costituente del popolo tedesco è una tesi che, a mio parere, si basa su una logica circolare che dipende, in ultima analisi, dalla definizione di cittadinanza adottata. Attraverso le politiche di cittadinanza si influenza, infatti, la definizione di «popolo», che a sua volta incide sulla relazione, di rango costituzionale, fra federalismo e democrazia. Si partirà dall’analisi delle affermazioni sulla natura e la legittimità dell’Unione europea e sulla relazione fra l’Unione e gli Stati membri contenute nella sentenza, per soffermarsi, poi, sulla definizione di cittadinanza, e quella conseguente di «popolo tedesco», che sono apparentemente fra i concetti chiave per comprendere come sia possibile articolare il legame tra democrazia e federalismo.

Emergenza, costituzione, diritti fondamentali : una guida critica
- 2007
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- In any given time of emergency, fundamental rights and the constitutional arrangement are being jeopardized. The question of how to keep together liberty and security in times of emergency has puzzled generations of scholars but the issue is hardly ever addressed in times of normalcy. In the wake of 9/11, the scholarly debate has taken off quite significantly, especially in the U.S. This paper examines the various explanatory models and normative proposals on the background of legal assessments in a historical and comparative perspective. The aim of the paper is to sort out theoretically different issues that need custom-made handling and to provide an outline for evaluating emergency statutes and regulations.
