The Course is focused on the evolution of the public intervention in the economy as well as on the organizational models in the Italian and comparative law. More specifically, the common thread will be the organizational model of the so-called "Autorità amministrative indipendenti" (rationale of their institution, organization, powers) and, in particular, of the Authority - variously named - responsible for guaranteeing the free market competition in the main contemporary legal systems and within the framework of the European Union.
Even in the absence of a unitary model, the comparative study of that topic, facilitated by the so-called economic globalization and technological development, will be able to highlight similar issues in the world experience of the independent agencies.
