Comunità dei legislatori e circolazione dei modelli: il caso del Canada

Abstract

This paper explores the phenomenon of dialogue among legislatures in the Canadian context. The work is divided into three parts. In the first part I develop the relation between the concept of “dialogue” and that of “legal transplant” (this section is devoted to the “language” of dialogue) and explain why Canada is a relevant for my investigation. In the second part of the contribution I identify the “actors” and the “typologies” of dialogue at national and provincial level. Finally, in the third part of the paper I select some concrete examples of legislative transplants caused by forms of dialogue among legislatures.
