Learning objectives

The course aims to offer specific knowledge in order to understand the structure and functioning of public administration in case of emergency, crisis or calamities. Public bodies’ organisation and structure are thus examinated under the ‘extraordinarity’ perspective. During the course, some specific legal emergency topics of special interest will be analysed. At the end of the course students will be able to understand the ‘emergency administration’ and its main critical aspects, with special attention on the procurement perspective.
