Learning outcomes

The course refers to Italian public law in general, paying particular attention to economic rights and to the economic profiles of the topic, also in light of the influence of the so-called "Economic Constitution" in the face of the phenomenon of globalization, the impact coming from European law and the International economic crisis.
