    AIMS AND CONTENT

    LEARNING OUTCOMES

    The course aims: to provide students with the knowledge of the legal and procedural mechanisms that regulate and guide the management of emergency situations by the Government and public administration of both State and local authorities; to analyze the instruments concretely used by the administrations in such situations; to highlight the limits and criticalities of the existing regulatory and operational tools. All in the perspective of offering students the critical tools to identify, also through comparative references, the models of organization, proceduralization and good practices more suitable for an efficient management of emergencies.

     

    AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

    AIMS

    Deepen the knowledge of juridical, technical and organizational means Public Administration actually uses in emergency situations;
    Identify virtues and vices of the methods Italian Public Administration implements, through references to both concrete historical experiences and comparative examples;
    Define models of organization, procedures and good practices, suitable for an effective emergency management;
    Develop skills of complementing each other the juridical, politicological, and quantitative approach in the study of the items in question, in order to develop a good ability of critical and multidimensional analysis.

    LEARNING OUTCOMES (in more detail):
    After the lectures, the student should be able to:
    Know and use accurately the legal and politicological language related to the items in question;
    Complement each other the juridical, politicological, and quantitative approach in the study of the subjects debated by the lectures, in order to develop a good ability of critical and multidimensional analysis;
    Accurately identify the available means for Public Administration in emergency management;

    Retrace, explain and evaluate critically the real working of Public Administration in historically concrete emergency situations;
    Accurately identify the more suitable means to be used by Public Administration in a hypothetical need for emergency management;
    Express thoroughly knowledge, opinions, problems and proposals, related to the discipline, to both expert speakers and not;
    Possibly express reasoned and justified proposals of juridical and organizational reforms, in the light of both the knowledge and the comparative methodology he/she acquired.

    PREREQUISITES

    To deal effectively with the contents of the discipline, it's necessary to know the basic foundations of administrative law, public administration and statistics.
    It could so be useful to have already passed or to study simultaneously for exams concerning the above-mentioned items.

    TEACHING METHODS

    The course is 36 hours long and gives 6 CFU. 

    Preferably, lectures will be taught in presence. Nevertheless, according with the evolution of the present health crisis, they could be taught either by blended teaching (i.e. teaching in presence with contemporary broadcasting of the lecture through TEAMS platform), or completely online, through TEAMS as well. In every case, AulaWeb platform is going to be used to support educational purposes.

    Lectures in presence are going to be taught in the "Albergo dei Poveri" educational centre; the scheduled time of the lectures will be published as soos as possible. Independently from their being either the only form of teaching or a part of blended teaching, lectures in streaming are going to be taught through TEAMS platform, on the team "Prof Aristide Canepa 2021/22" (password qmp6b5p ), channel Amministrazione Pubblica e Gestione delle Emergenze. The teacher will either record the lectures or not, according to the form of teaching that will be finally imposed by the circumstances. In every case, the teacher is going to upload the possible recordings and the teaching materials to AulaWeb platform, on the channel devoted to the course, in order to guarantee the availability of the course also to students who, for any reason, weren't able to take part in class lectures nor to log on the lectures in streaming.

    Teaching will be based mainly on lectures, possibly complemented by slides and/or other teaching media, but it can also involve seminars and students' guided research activities, with public exposition of the outcomes.

    The professor could also look after providing or recommending (either during the lectures or through Aulaweb) readings and studies (in foreign languages, too), useful to the preparation of the following lectures.

    External lectures, speeches and congresses related to the discipline could be considered as part of the course. In this case, the professor will inform the students about them, during the lectures and through AulaWeb.

    For such reasons, students are heartily recommended to register themselves in the course page on AulaWeb platform. Such a page is going to be the official channel of communication between teacher and students, and all the informations on the course (including possible changes in the way the course will be taught) will be uploaded there.

    SYLLABUS/CONTENT

    Different meanings and forms of “emergency” in law
    Rules and procedures provided for emergency situations by law
    The established allocation of administrative functions to different territorial levels of government and the possible changes provided by rules (and practices) about emergency management
    Emergency management and exceptions to standard procedures in law-making, decision-making, administrative and jurisdictional processes
    Emergency management and restrictions on personal rights, public freedoms and rule of law in wider terms
    Reenactment, exposition and analysis of the means Public Administration actually used in historically concrete emergency situations and of the processes of juridical and organizational reform that possibly followed
    All the items of the syllabus are going to be debated also in a comparative (both synchronic and diachronic) perspective, in order to make easier a critical analysis and to better define well performing models of organization, procedures and good practices for an effective emergency management

    RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY

    A syllabus about the items to deal with in the course doesn’t exist.
    For such a reason, the professor will provide during the lectures and through Aulaweb the needed bibliographical references and papers (in foreign languages, too, according to students' linguistic skills).

    Date Time Location Type Notes
    18/01/2022 10:00 GENOVA Orale In linea di principio l'esame si svolgerà in presenza, presso l'Albergo dei Poveri. Per gravi esigenze motivate, però, lo studente potrà chiedere di svolgere l’esame on-line. In tal caso, questo si svolgerà sul gruppo TEAMS “Esami Dispo a.a. 2021/22”, il cui codice d’accesso è hxif4cu Una volta entrati nel gruppo, troverete numerose stanze virtuali corrispondenti ai diversi corsi: dovrete selezionare quella intitolata 57053 - DIRITTO PUBBLICO COMPARATO, dove troverete la commissione. Per evitare troppi passaggi, si svolgeranno sullo stesso canale anche gli esami degli altri corsi del prof. Canepa. Verrete esaminati uno alla volta, ma gli altri (o almeno uno di loro) dovranno rimanere collegati come testimoni. L’esaminando dovrà identificarsi mostrando sullo schermo il proprio tesserino universitario, oppure un documento personale con fotografia. Dovrà inoltre tenere accesa la videocamera e il microfono, mentre gli altri studenti in linea sono pregati, pur restando connessi per testimoniare, di spegnere microfono e videocamera, per evitare rumore e sovraccarico del sistema informatico. Chi volesse intervenire, per ragioni importanti, può riaccendere il microfono tra un esame e l’altro o scrivere sulla chat del gruppo. Naturalmente, durante l’esame non potrete tenere con voi ausili di nessun genere (testi, cellulari, tablet, ecc.), né ricevere assistenza o suggerimenti da terze persone, conformemente al patto d'aula che ciascuno di voi ha firmato. Si ricorda che chi fosse colto ad utilizzare sussidi proibiti e/o ricevere suggerimenti esterni, non solo violerebbe il Regolamento in materia di procedimento disciplinare nei confronti degli studenti, rendendosi così passibile di procedimento disciplinare da parte delle autorità universitarie, ma, avendo dichiarato il falso nel patto d’aula, che costituisce a tutti gli effetti una dichiarazione sostitutiva di atto notorio, compirebbe anche un reato. Eventuali studenti disabili o con DSA, che avessero pertanto diritto ad utilizzare determinati ausili, sono pregati di contattare in anticipo il docente. In particolare, chi avesse titolo ad utilizzare mappe concettuali è pregato di inviarle in visione al docente con almeno dieci giorni di anticipo sull’esame, perché questi possa valutare se vanno bene o meno. Ugualmente, chi avesse insuperabili difficoltà di collegamento telematico è pregato di contattare il docente via mail per concordare un rinvio dell’esame. Si ricorda infine che è vietato registrare l’esame. Il docente resta a disposizione per qualsiasi chiarimento
