- Learning verification modality
- Oral exam: the oral exam is intended to test the students' knowledge of the subject and their ability to deal with the main legal questions raised by transnational migration (as indicated in the program). The oral exam also aims to test students' ability to show language skills and clarity.
Attending students may be asked to write a short paper (up to 10 pages, eg texts, comments, case notes, etc.) during the course, which will be discussed and evaluated during the final exam. - Extended program
- The course is divided into two parts.
The first part is devoted to the analysis of the main legal questions raised by transnational migrations in European democratic-pluralistic states with regard to the pluralism of legal cultures. The course will privilege a perspective focused on the pluralism of legal cultures produced and/or intensified by migrations within the national legal systems of immigration countries, with special attention to the coexistence of State law (or the law of other institutions comparable to the State in terms of institutional forms and law production) and the "legal" norms observed within minority legal orders (eg minority groups characterized by a cultural and/or religious affiliation which also implies belonging to a specific legal culture, as for Islamic communities, but also, in some respects, for Chinese and Roma communities).
The second part focuses on the analysis of some case studies that show the pluralism of legal cultures associated with transnational migrations in Europe, with particular reference to the possible violation of fundamental rights protected at constitutional and supranational level. The specific case studies addressed during the course will be mainly drawn from current events; in any case, privileged topics will concern legal regulation of family and interpersonal relationships and the use of religious symbols, both in the public space and in private relations (eg workplace).
