Giuseppe Martinico

Giuseppe Martinico is a Full Professor of Comparative Public Law at the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa, where he also serves as co-director of the Sant’Anna Legal Studies programme (www.stals.santannapisa.it). Prior to joining the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies he was García Pelayo Fellow at the Centro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales (CEPC), Madrid, and Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute, Florence. He has also been affiliated with several international research centres (amongst others, the Centre for Judicial Cooperation of the European University Institute, Florence, and the Centre for Studies on Federalism, Turin-Moncalieri). There, he has carried out international projects related to comparative federalism and subnational constitutionalism, and the constitutional dimension of EU law and international human rights law (especially the European Convention on Human Rights).

His research interests cover both comparative and European law, fields in which he has written extensively, including four monographs in English (published by Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Edward Elgar, and Routledge) and articles in international peer-reviewed journals in three languages (English, Italian and Spanish). His volumes have been reviewed in top-class journals. As evidence of the impact of his research, his first monograph, L'Integrazione Silente (Jovene 2009), was quoted in the Opinion given by Advocate General Dámaso Ruiz-Jarabo Colomer in the Umweltanwalt von Kärnten and Alpe Adria Energia SpA case decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union (Case C-205/08). More recently, his work was cited by Advocate General Cruz Villalon in his Opinion on the Gauweiler case (OMT, Case 62/14) and by Advocate General Tanchev in his Opinion (footnote 45) on Case C-541/16, European Commission v Kingdom of Denmark. Moreover, his research on judicial disobedience was cited in a separate opinion of Judge Pinto de Albuquerque, one of the members of the European Court of Human Rights (in the case of G.I.E.M. S.R.L. and Others v Italy). Giuseppe is editor of the Rivista di Diritti Comparati, as well as two working paper series. He has published on populism from a constitutional perspective in both European and North American journals. He is also a member of the International Association of Constitutional Law (IACL) and the ICON Society, among others. He is a Member of the International Advisory Board of the Centre for Constitutions in Context of the University of Warwick
