Learning objectives

The course is included in the learning area on Innovation and management of the Public Administration. It provides knowledge about the fundamental institutions of regional and local authorities law in the Italian legal system. It will deal with the constitutional role, the organization, and the functions of Regions, and local authorities in Italy's regional system, analyzing their institutional structure, their constitutional autonomy, and the main functions assigned to them.
At the end of the course, the student will have acquired the ability to understand the essential aspects of the Italian constitutional system with regard to the formation, organization, and jurisdictions of regional and local authorities and will be able to apply the acquired knowledge to the analysis of concrete cases.
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.
