| Summary: |
The article deals with the contradictions between the equal-based theoretical
and dogmatic constructions of liberal constitutionalism and fragmented
contemporary subject in cultural and social identity groups. Specifically, it
wonders about the abilities of a �difference constitutionalism� to be used as
a meaningful category to analyze and understand the transformations that
recognition of difference arises on liberal constitutionalism, equal treatment
requirements and judicial review of affirmative action. After Introduction,
Section ii criticizes liberal emphasis on equal treatment as the core of equality rules, claiming for an understanding of equality able to involve relevant
differences assessment on judicial and legal approach to equality. Section iii
compares liberal and communitarian views of equality as grounds of different
theoretical approaches to the constitution phenomena. Section iv analyses
judicial performance and approach to equality and affirmative action in Italy,
Spain and the United States. |
