Roberto Toniatti has written extensively and on many different fronts. His publications, which number close to two hundred, are distinguished by the fact that he has dealt with the most varied themes, covering every latitude and longitude on earth.
His first works on Israel were flanked by research on emerging countries, on Spain and the United States of America, and by a careful and extensive study on the European Union which, among the first in the field of comparative constitutionalism, traced lines of research that were later widely disseminated. In the years that followed, Roberto's studies on the United States multiplied, and his constant attention was focused on their constitutional evolution, together with reflections on other legal systems (from Canada to Austria, from Ireland to the Balkans, from the United Kingdom to Switzerland), together with significant publications on the comparative method. In addition to the 'global' dimension, Roberto also devoted himself to the local, publishing articles that became points of reference for the protection of minorities and issues of territorial autonomy. The two levels are frequently intertwined, leading him to propose, among other things, decisive contributions on the subject of cross-border cooperation and the Euregio.
From the form of government to the various models for protecting rights, from the electoral system to federalism, from the comparative method to supranational integration: there are thus many topics to which Roberto has actively contributed, with originality and nonconformism, innovative, in-depth and always rigorous lines of research, opening up new paths and perspectives for the studies that many of us have subsequently developed.
