OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI (DETTAGLIO) E RISULTATI DI APPRENDIMENTO

The course aims to provide the students with the cognitive and methodological tools necessary to understand how norms and institutions of global governance follow and respect the principles of constitutionalism and the dynamics concerning the efforts to establish common rules on a global scale.

Class attendance and individual study will enable the student to:

- acquire the specific vocabulary of the discipline, also in order to be able to examine and understand the scientific literature in English language;

- identify the fundamental values, principles and basic concepts characterizing constitutionalism, from its first manifestations and the great liberal revolutions to the construction of contemporary constitutional democracies;  

- acquire a rational and dynamic vision concerning the application of the core values of constitutionalism not only in the context of the State Constitution but also in the interpretation and development of the law beyond the State;

- use the knowledge of the theoretical elements for a critical evaluation of the respect in the constitutional systems of common standards related to rule of law, democracy and human rights.
