Vol. 9 No. 2 (2021)

The monographic section of this issue, like the one in issue II / 2020, is made up of the responses to the call-for-papers promoted by the Journal.
As in the previous year, it was a call-for-papers that had a long gestation in the debate of the Management of the magazine. On the topic - inequalities - the Management of the Magazine presented a contribution a few months before the call-for-papers started - a text that is published at the opening of the first part of the section; subsequently, with an original contribution but which is deeply affected by the discussion within the Management, Antonio Barone presented an appreciated report at the conference of the Association of Professors of Administrative Law (AIPDA) that the magazine is pleased to always publish in the first part of the section and which wants to constitute the conceptual opening of the debate. This first part is followed by the publication of the contributions received as a result of the call-for-papers.
With the monographic section of this booklet, a reflection is launched that would be extended over time, which methodologically identifies a plexus of problems by unifying them around a key word - in the case, inequalities.
The term chosen must be synthetic both of a series - partly unexplored - of theoretical possibilities that for various reasons have not yet been adequately explored - in the case of that of this dossier, mainly, the considerable influence of political elements that have overshadowed its legal significance. On the other hand, the term object of reflection must be placed at the intersection of a plexus of problems, which allows both critical analysis and systematic reconstruction. Furthermore, it must deal with a system of problems that critically detect as regards the evolution of the legal system and of the rights of the person.
What is presented is the first attempt to move in this direction, not towards the creation of a critical dictionary of essential legal terms, but - according to the constant effort of the Journal - to place itself along the ridges in which the relationship between rights, powers and organizations is transformed, in the perspective of seriously addressing the task of the jurist with respect to the demands of society and the human person.
