Learning Objectives
The course of Public Law Institutions has the objective of offering students the hermeneutic categories and methodological tools for understanding the main public law institutions. Starting from a framework of the basic juridical-dogmatic categories of the juridical order, of the forms of state and government, of the sources of law and fundamental rights, we will proceed to a systematic study of the Republican Constitution, constantly taking into account the developments of the 'case-law and interactions with the institutions of the European Union. Lastly, an in-depth analysis will be devoted to changes in the welfare state as a result of the increasingly incisive conditions exercised by European economic-monetary governance.
