Learning outcomes

The course proposes a critical survey of the different constitutional designs of the world by focusing on specific constitutional institutes. Among those institutes that may be enumerated in the foundations of “modern” and “contemporary” constitutional law, it considers the federal principle as an essential component of numerous States and power structures, and debates the different typologies of State that can be traced back to the paradigms of federalism and regionalism. For this purpose, the course will use the comparative legal method, which is useful in cross-country analyses. In this regard, it proposes a classification of the different models of compound States, thus shedding lights on the interrelations between “law in books” and “law in action”. It then considers cross-fertilisation, as the main form of dissemination of constitutional ideas.
Those attending the course will actively participate in it: during the lectures, the class will discuss the different models and examine the most significant case studies and judgements that have contributed in the evolution of Federal and Regional States (and their principles).
