Learning objectives

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. Its educational objectives are aimed at providing knowledge of the principles, rules, institutions and basic concepts of this legal discipline. At the end of the classes, the student must demonstrate knowledge of the main legal categories of public law and, in particular, those relating to economic freedoms, to understand and evaluate the normative texts and the judgments relating to the topics analyzed, to be able to apply the knowledge acquired in concrete cases (with particular reference also to events of political and institutional relevance) and to sustain their presentations with an adequate language and proper arguments.
