- Contents
- The main contents of the course revolve around an overall overview of
the essential aspects of Italian public law, through an understanding of
the issues relating to the constitutional order, the organization and
structure of public authorities and the relationship between public and
private entities. The fundamental institutions of public law will be
adequately investigated with a particular focus on the sources of Italian
and European Union law as well as on the reciprocal relations between
the State, Regions and the European Union. The organization and
handling of said contents reflect the purpose of providing learners with
knowledge of the main legal issues and the related linguistic mastery to
develop skills for in-depth analysis and critical reflection. - Reference texts
