Learning Objectives
The course aims at the study and understanding of the evolution of Political Institutions between the national and international dimensions in the contemporary age, with a special focus on the historical development of the multi-lateral dimension of government.
The course is ideally divided into three distinct but complementary parts: a first general part of methodological and historical-thematic framework on constitutionalism in Europe between the 19th and 20th centuries, and a second part dedicated to an in-depth study of key words in the History of Political Institutions. The final part of the course will be devoted to an in-depth study of the evolution of the International System and of the main international bodies active in the multilateral field, particularly after the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

These skills are acquired through active participation in teaching activities (lectures, tutorials, seminars) and through individual study.

These skills are acquired both through active participation in lectures, guided group discussions and individual study.
