The new Hungarian Fundamental Law of 2011 has become a prominent topic of the present-day European constitutional and political discourse. European institutions, human rights organisations, even foreign government officials of some EU states have expressed their concerns not only about the new constitutional rules but also the recent development and the situation of the rule of law. The need for scientific discourse ont he recent constitutional development encouraged leading Italian and Hungarian scholars to cooperate and address the most important problems of contemporary constitutionalism in Hungary. This book contains the results of this dialogue.
