This article analyzes the evolution of the case law of the Italian Constitutional Court concerning the balancing between fundamental social rights and financial stability, particularly in a situation of economic crisis. Therefore, it first examines the techniques of judicial balancing the Court used since the last decade of the XX century (in the context of the “fiscal crisis of the Welfare State” and of the first stages of the European Economic and Monetary Union) and then considers the techniques the Court has used in its recent decisions about austerity measures, in the framework of the new great crisis which started in 2008 and of the implementation of the new European economic governance. This enables to compare them in order to assess the impact of the new context and particularly the consequences of the constitutionalization of the balanced budget principle in 2012.

Abstract

This article analyzes the evolution of the case law of the Italian Constitutional Court concerning the balancing between fundamental social rights and financial stability, particularly in a situation of economic crisis. Therefore, it first examines the techniques of judicial balancing the Court used since the last decade of the XX century (in the context of the “fiscal crisis of the Welfare State” and of the first stages of the European Economic and Monetary Union) and then considers the techniques the Court has used in its recent decisions about austerity measures, in the framework of the new great crisis which started in 2008 and of the implementation of the new European economic governance. This enables to compare them in order to assess the impact of the new context and particularly the consequences of the constitutionalization of the balanced budget principle in 2012.
