Dialogo fra corti e judicial borrowing: una prospettiva inferenzialista

My aim in this paper is to analyze the so-called dialogue between national and international courts by employing the tools of inferentialist semantics as developed by Robert Brandom. After reviewing the essential features of judicial borrowing, I will introduce some aspects of Brandom's semantics and try to show in what way it can be brought to bear on the dialogue between courts. I will close the discussion by arguing that it is misleading to characterize such interactions as "dialogue".
