OVERVIEW

The course - in English – is composed by two parts: EU law and global challenges and Migration Law.

Aim of the course is to deepen the studying of the most significant global challenges of this era and, among them, in particular, the one concerning migration issues through a multilevel legal perspective, which considers the legal framework of EU law and the solution adopted for its adaptation in the Italian legal order as well as in some of the European States.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course is aimed at offering to the students the theoretical and methodological tools to analyze and understand how EU law and Italian law (as compared with other European legal order) face the most significant global challenges of this era and, among them, in particular the challenges deriving from migration. Students will achieve the necessary knowledge and skills to analyze under a legal, critical and autonomous perspective the main global issues and, in particular, migration issues.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

EU law and global challenges is aimed at providing the students with the methodological tools and the knowledge necessary to understand, contextualize and analyze the role of the EU as global actor as well as the reach of EU law (also) outside the European legal order with specific reference to global issues such as the protection of the environment, the use of internet and the protection of personal data, the financial and economic crisis, the protection of competition and migration.

Migration Law will provide an overview of the present state of migration law in Europe, by focusing mostly on immigration from Third Countries into Europe.
