The Mediterranean: the Sea of Law

Abstract

The book provides an interesting and new analysis about the legal systems of the Mediterranean, addressing several topics: personal and cultural identity, with contributions about the relation between identity, religious freedom and civil order, so difficult in the present moment, and the dignity of transsexual people under Italian law; the unaccompanied foreign minors, a very difficult challenge posed today by the migratory phenomena, which is examined under several points of view, including the medical aspects and the health care; the international organized crime, with special attention to its effects in the civil law regulations. The aim of the book, therefore, it is not to provide an exhaustive knowledge of the legal frameworks of the Mediterranean, but to examine some little known aspects and provide a new and fresh contribution to research.
