Weiler, New York University School of Law; Co-Editor-in-Chief, I·CON It has not been an easy task to compose this year’s list—not because of a dearth of good reads, but quite the opposite—embarras de richesses.

Weiler, co-Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Constitutional Law [Editors’ Note: This piece will be published in the next edition of the International Journal of Constitutional Law (I•CON) as part of the Editorial.] Will we ever see closure to this saga at the center of which one finds the somewhat controversial decision of the International Court of Justice of 2012 and the very controversial decision of the Italian Constitutional Court of 2014 which rebuffed that decision?

Volume 19 Issue 3 Table of Contents Letters to the Editors The population and the individual, David McGrogan Unequal impact, Stephen F. Ross Editorial I•CON: Foreword! Karen J.
