Learning objectives
The course is included in the learning area on Internationalization of the markets. Starting from the relationship between law, economics, and digital technologies, to move to the perspective of the European Union's regulatory framework on the data economy and digital platforms aimed at protecting the main economic and non-economic public interests that come to the fore, the course seeks to provide legal tools for understanding and analyzing digital markets. The course will also address the issue of the liability of the digital economy operators, as well as the economic integration and the efficient functioning of the markets of which they are part.
At the end of the course, the student will acquire the ability to formulate, autonomously and critically, complex opinions and argumentations on the main topics covered by the course.
Students will also acquire the ability to face and solve practical problems typical of the professional context in which they will operate, thus orienting their competence to the goal of contractual compliance and to the prevention of the judicial conflicts. Students will also be able to verify the practical and applicative consequences of the theoretical and regulatory framework and to set, in written and oral form (and also through group work, written exercises and the method of Problem Based Solving - PBS), the solution to concrete issues, using the appropriate and specific disciplinary vocabulary, adopting the correct lines of reasoning and argumentation, and formulating autonomous judgments. The teaching method used is functional to the continuous learning and updating of acquired knowledge.
Prerequisites and basic notions
There is no specific prior knowledge required.
Program
The course will cover some of the main EU rules on the Digital Economy. In addition to the internal market rules provided for in the Treaty on the functioning of the EU (freedom of movement and competition), the legislative acts that will be analyzed include: the directive on electronic commerce 2000/31, the regulation 2019/1150 governing relations between companies and platforms, the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act. The course is 36 hours (6 CFU) and will be held in English with the support of slides and study materials previously indicated (eg legislation and jurisprudence of the 'European Union). The course will be partly in the presence (maximum 5 credits, 30 hours) and partly at a distance (with the invitation of speakers from foreign universities) (at least 1 credits, 6 hours). Students will be invited not only to participate in the discussion on the various topics introduced and explained by the teacher, also on the basis of the previous reading of the aforementioned study materials, but - following flipped learning and group-based learning methodologies - also to conduct independent research on selected themes (including consumer protection in digital markets). The lessons are dedicated to the following topics: What is Digital Economy? What definition does the EU legal system give? • The main market sectors affected • What strategies and modalities is the EU adopting or should it adopt to regulate the digital economy? • The relevance of EU law on online market access • Consumer protection in the digital economy • The role and legal protection of data in the digital economy • EU competition law in the digital economy and protection of smaller businesses
