Raimondo, 18 – 00173 Roma ISSN: 2532-6619 Introduction Economic Inequality as a global constitutional challenge Antonia Baraggia, Mark A. Graber, Ran Hirschl, Lorenza Violini “The socio-economic divide has been on the rise in Europe over the past decades, and has intensified since the onset of the global financial crisis. High and rising inequality harms our societies in many respects, not least in terms of economic growth. It can hamper social cohesion, results in lost opportunities for many, and can even result in worse health outcomes”. (OECD, 2017). The growth of economic inequality is one of the most challenging phenomena of our time. It has shown to have had significant effects on politics and society. Research has traced connections between the increase of economic inequality in all its manifestations, and the recurring crises of liberal democracies, in particular the rise of populism. The economic crisis in Europe, to pick one example, has exacerbated class divisions and deeply affected social rights protection, eroding the basis of the European welfare state. Its impact has been farther accentuated by so-called refugee crisis, in turn putting additional strain on access to social rights to all persons, and threatening the sustainability of traditional welfare systems. These multiple crises explain why comparative legal scholars have started to study in depth the relationship between constitutionalism, economic inequality, hegemonic conceptions of rights, and the traditional competing paradigms of the “interventionist” state and “abstentionist” state (neo-liberal approaches). Both interventionist and (neo)liberal approaches claim to favor the public interest and reduce inequality. Whether they can deliver upon their promises in deeply divided – and even polarized – societies is up for grabs. The many questions these scholars are considering include: What is the role (if any) of constitutional law in facing the rise of economic inequality on a global scale? ISSN 2532-6619 IV Special Issue I (2019) Antonia Baraggia, Mark A. Graber, Ran Hirschl, Lorenza Violini Introduction: Economic Inequality as a global constitutional challenge Is the liberal constitutional model able to respond to the challenges posed by economic inequality? Are expanding human rights protection systems and the recognition of ESR on a global scale enough to deal with economic inequality? Do existing constitutional theories and constitutional arrangements effectively deal with rising economic inequality? What theoretical and institutional adjustments are necessary to alleviate the threat rising economic equality poses to constitutional democracy? This special issue, featuring a selection of papers presented at the First European Constitutional Law “Schmooze”—an open conversation among scholars of constitutional law that took place at the University of Milan’s Faculty of Law in October 2018—aims to address the complex interplay between constitutional law and economic inequality. It features ten contributions, ranging from general theoretical accounts to papers dealing with a concrete angle or a case-study. The first theoretical part comprises five contributors. Catarina Santos Botelho focuses on the highly controversial constitutional debate on social rights design and the social state. Francesco Saitto’s paper, “The Decline of Middle-Class Constitutionalism and the Democratic Backlash,” looks in historical and comparative perspectives at the dynamic balance between economic inequality and political equality, within the context of the decline of “middle-class constitutionalism,” which characterizes contemporary Western liberal democracies. Antonia Baraggia and Benedetta Vimercati’s paper addresses the relation between human dignity and economic inequality, through the lens of the implementation of minimum income schemes across Europe. Mark A. Graber’s article deals with the relation between the theory of constitutional democracy and the practice of access to justice, in particular in terms of the support system necessary for less fortunate members of the polity to obtain remedies for legal wrongs. Looking at the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, Ingrid Leijten explores the potential and limits of the principle of non-discrimination in adjudicating social rights. The second

    Governo, ecco le ipotesi sul tavolo, la squadra. Ma tutto potrebbe cambiare Potrebbe essere Franscesco Battistoni, in quota Forza Italia, il sottosegretario Mipaaf. Ma tutto ancora da vedere e i nomi su cui si sta lavorando adesso e che sembrano essere certi potrebbero essere modificati all’ultimo momento generando una cascata di caselle che cambiano come un tetris. E’ un vero e proprio frullato di nomi, in queste ore, per mettere a punto le squadre dei ministeri e individuare viceministri e sottosegretari. Decisioni su cui – così erano gli accordi – avrebbero deciso i partiti politici. Ma che sembra non sia più così. AGRICOLAE pubblica i nomi su cui sembrerebbe si stia lavorando ma che – a causa di un braccio di ferro tra i partiti e la Presidenza – potrebbe cambiare completamente. Premier Mario Draghi, coadiuvato da Roberto Garofoli sottosegretario di Stato, Antonio Funiciello (lo stesso di Luca Lotti) capo di gabinetto e Carlo Deodato al Dagl. Poi Roberto Chieppa segretario generale, Paola Ansuini portavoce, Luigi Mattiolo consigliere diplomatico e Daria Perrotta capo di gabinetto di Garofoli.

Difesa, Sicurezza e Soccorso Pubblico, si sblocca il rinnovo del contratto 8 luglio 2021 Si sono riuniti ieri, 7 luglio, in videocollegamento i ministri Renato Brunetta (Pubblica amministrazione), Marta Cartabia (Giustizia), Daniele Franco (Economia), Lorenzo Guerini (Difesa) e Luciana Lamorgese (Interno) per sciogliere gli ultimi nodi sul rinnovo del contratto dei comparti "difesa e sicurezza" e "soccorso pubblico". Dopo l’incontro dello scorso 14 maggio è stata predisposta un’ipotesi di emendamento al decreto legge “sostegni bis” per autorizzare lo stanziamento di ulteriori risorse per il rifinanziamento dei contratti che, insieme al cambio di destinazione di 50 milioni di euro già finalizzati dall’ultima legge di bilancio alle indennità per i servizi esterni e per quelli operativi fuori sede del personale dei comparti, consentirà di garantire un incremento retributivo a regime di circa il 4,25%, comprensivo della cosiddetta "specificità". Sull’area dirigenziale, inoltre, è stato ipotizzato un finanziamento del contratto 2021-2023 attraverso la legge di bilancio 2022, per superare le incertezze interpretative sulla disciplina applicabile.
