Learning objectives

This course is included in the learning area on Global Dimension of Legal Phenomena. It aims to provide the student with advanced legal knowledge of the transnational dynamics of commercial relations and their functioning. A specialist in transnational commercial law makes use of methods and key concepts of modern applied law, with particular regard to uniform commercial law.
At the end of the course, the student will have acquired the ability to analyze and understand the different regulatory systems that, although based on different rationales, coexist and characterize the legal approach to sustainable economic development, with particular reference to the multilevel and transnational functioning of modern law.
At the end of the course, the student will also have acquired the ability to face and solve practical problems typical of the professional context in which he/she will operate, thus orienting his/her competence to the goal of contractual compliance and to the prevention of the judicial conflict. He/she will 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 working, written exercises and the method of Problem Based Solving - PBS), the solution of 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.
