Course Description

Il corso si prefigge di fornire le conoscenze di base sul sistema del diritto pubblico italiano. In particolare, sulla scorta delle nozioni preliminari di “diritto” “norma” e “ordinamento” giuridici, l’obiettivo del corso è quello di tracciare un esaustivo quadro d’insieme del sistema statale costituzionale italiano. Pertanto, una prima parte è dedicata allo studio delle forme di Stato e di Governo, nonché dell’attuale architettura istituzionale della Repubblica italiana. Successivamente, invece, un momento centrale è rappresentato dallo studio della Costituzione e, in particolare, dei diritti e delle libertà fondamentali; nonché del circuito della decisione politica (e delle fonti del diritto).
