The course provides the critical notions and tools for the study of the political history of the so-called "century of nationalities", indispensable for the understanding of contemporary Europe. It illustrates the establishment or reconstitution of the nation states in Central and Eastern Europe and the unification process of Germany and Italy. The analysis will embrace the whole "long nineteenth century" (from the French Revolution to the outbreak of the First World War).
Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of the revolutions of 1848, as well as to their premises and consequences. Necessary introduction to this analysis will be the discussion of the movements of "national rebirth" of a good part of the European peoples. Finally, the unification of Germany and Italy and the establishment of national states in Central and Eastern Europe will be addressed following the progressive crisis and then the collapse of the system of the great multiethnic empires (Austrian, Russian and Ottoman). The use of a comparative method will be continuous in order to find out common features of several national histories but also the peculiarities that differentiate them.

The course is divided into two parts. The first provides a theorical framework of the transition process and analyzes the conceptual debate about democratic foundation and the challenges of democratic consolidation. The second part moves from the theory to practice and explores the specific democratization trajectories in Southern and Eastern Europe during the Second and the Third Wave emphasizing the legacies of the former non democratic regimes.

Strategic Studies

Instructor: Niccolò Petrelli
C.F.U. 8

Presentation and Course Aims
What is national strategy? What is the link between foreign policy objectives and defense choices? How is military power developed? What is the connection between technological innovation, industry and national defense? The course aims to introduce the topics of strategy, defense policy and development of military power focusing in particular on the Italian case. The aim of the course is therefore to lead students to familiarize with the concept of national strategy and with the actors and dynamics of defense policy, to inform them about some of the fundamental issues concerning the development of the Armed Forces, and to present a framework reference theorist for the analysis of national defense policies.
At the end of the course students will be in possession of:

1. Basic knowledge of strategic theory, Italian defense and military policies within the framework of NATO and the EU.
2. Analytical tools necessary for an informed discussion of the themes of strategy and defense in the context of the post-Cold War international political system.

The course starts with an analysis of the concept of strategy in its various forms, providing a general overview of strategic theory. Subsequently, it introduces a series of analytical tools aimed at understanding the dynamics of formation of the strategy at the national level, the problems linked to it and the actors involved. Particular attention will be devoted to the Italian case through the study of the mechanisms and methods of development of the national security strategy (SSN), of the national security architecture and of the defense policy on the basis of primary sources, first of all the White Book of Defense of 2015.
In the second part the course moves to analyze military affairs. The main theories developed in the defense field from the mid-90s and the main enabling technologies are examined in detail. This is followed by an analysis of the main challenges related to the transformation, development and modernization of the armed forces. It focuses on the Italian armed forces in the Euro-Atlantic framework, with particular reference to the potential and risks posed by the application of ideas related to the theories of the Revolution in Military Affairs, the Network-Centric Warfare. Last but not least the course tackles the topic of the industrial aspects of Italian defense policy.
The course closes with an analysis of the future trajectory of EU defense policies based on analysis of technological-industrial-military trends of the last twenty years.

Teaching Approach and Evaluation Criteria
The course is divided into lectures. Their format however, is similar to that of a seminar , ie it involves continuous interaction between teacher and students. Before each class, students are required to take the readings assigned by the teacher in order to conduct an informed discussion on the topics covered in the classroom. The course teaching material is half in Italian and half in English, whose knowledge is therefore essential.

The course will investigate the relation between law and social change in the present time, and in the theoretical and empirical foundation processes of the modern State. It will provide the tools needed to understand the rising problems, the innovative apparatuses linked to visual arts, critical thought, and gender studies, together with the classic themes of the socio-legal thought.
The course will develop through two modules. The former will inquire into the theoretical bases that authors and foundational themes provide to the discipline, with regard both to the legal culture and the institutions aimed at managing social deviant behaviors (Luhmann; Habermas; Bourdieu; Foucault; Canetti; the Critical Legal Studies; the Law and Economics approach, and the approach that investigates the relation between law and gender studies)
The latter module will offer more specific tools: 1) The analysis of the symbolic functions of femininity, masculinity, and the satirical in the iconographical representations of law and justice – the same representations that accompanied the birth and the development of the modern State, contributing to the diffusion of the legal culture both into the society and the common sense; 2) The analysis of the conflict between right, law and social justice in the contemporary economic context characterized by globalization and financialization.

The readings needed to obtain 6 c.f.u must be agreed with the instructor.

DESCRIPTION:

The Course is developed into two main sections, debating on the theoretical concept of the right to development as a human right and analyzing the international development cooperation within the United Nations system as well as the international Organizations – IOs - working in the economic, financial and trade fields. Also the regional and national systems (e.g. the European Union and the Italian framework) and the non institutional actors (e.g. NGOs and private business companies) will be investigated.
METHOD OF PRESENTATION: The Course is articulated mainly into lectures, supported by ppt presentations on all the substantial aspects dealing with the topic of international development law. These lectures will be completed by class readings and discussions about the official international documents adopted by concerned IOs and Countries, as well as by the elaboration and presentation of written papers on practical cooperation mechanisms and models. Moreover the participation to conferences, technical workshops and events to be held in Rome and promoted by public and private entities (i.e. IOs, Ministries, research centres, academia and civil society) will be scheduled.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES:

Students will be able to:

• To comprehensively examine the most significant views regarding the legal framework of the international development law in the past and current international debate as well as in the international practice, in particular concerning IOs.

• To be updated on lessons learned and good practices in terms of international development cooperation frameworks and related challenges, in particular in relation to the new 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda scenario.

• To have an in depth understanding of the crucial role played by institutional and non institutional actors in the international development law framework.

• To get focused on contemporary political, economic, social and cultural issues through the awareness of the pivotal role, played particularly by BRICs and Developing Countries, thanks to the study of ad hoc policy documents.

• The students will develop an inquiring thinking, thanks to a variety of learning activities in class, such as essay questions, oral presentations, writing assignments, reports, case studies, guest speakers, so to have a real and tangible understanding of how international development cooperation theories at large are put into practice by States, International Organizations (IOs), non institutional actors, such as NGO’s, and other key players.

The course aims to analyze the modalities of formation of the European States pluralistic system born in the Modern Age from the disintegration of the imperial and pontifical universalisms of the Middle Ages, following the metamorphoses of three key concepts (universal monarchy, balance of power, supranational bodies) in the context of the political-diplomatic and war events of the Four-Eighteenth Century. Particular attention will be devoted to the transformations of the concept of monarchia universalis in the context of territorial and imperial States between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (Spain, Holland and England), to the international practice of balance of power before and after the Thirty Years War, to development of the idea of peace and to the first proposals of supranational organizations for the resolution of conflicts between States.

From the myth of Europe to the myth of European Union

The course program aims to historically focus on the "phenomenon" of Europe in its conceptual-ideological dimension and in the current political-institutional form of the European Union.
Europe is born from a myth: the rape of Europe by Zeus in the form of a bull that leads from the East to the West, in Greece where the first Mediterranean civilization flourishes, the Mycenaean one. Initially identified in Greece as an identity opposition to the Persian "barbarians", Europe over time assumes different forms with different traits (Roman Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Respublica Christiana, République des Lettres, etc.), opposing from time to time to to "barbarian" in turn, tearing himself into internal wars, conquering a cultural, scientific-technological, political and civil primacy, and finally becoming a "torch of civilization" in the non-European world to be civilized, or to be conquered. Eurocentrism, colonialism, imperialism on the one hand, nationalism, racism, totalitarianism on the other fall the civilization of Europe in the barbarism of two world wars and the moral defeat of the Holocaust.
After the Second World War Europe is reborn as the European Union, under the banner of peace, democracy and guarantee of subjective rights. But after the unsuccessful attempts to create a federation on the model of the United States, facing the crisis of values that compromise its existence and facing the centrifugal forces of Eurexit, the European Union returns to be a myth.

The Course is divided into two parts: a general part and a monographic part

1) General part: historical reconstruction of the idea of Europe, its identity and its civilization, which were formed and developed along an historical path that begins in ancient Greece and comes up to our days, when, under the pressure of Altiero Spinelli, takes shape politically and institutionally in the European Union under the banner of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

2) Monographic part: analysis of two "classical" texts on the formation of a united Europe
1. For the Perpetual Peace of Immanuel Kant
2. The Ventotene Manifesto by Altiero Spinelli and Ernesto Rossi

The program also includes the vision (in the classroom or in private, depending on the availability) of some very significant features related to the construction of European civilization
1. Agora (Alejandro Amenábar, 2009): the shadows of Europe: political theocracy and persecution
2. The Last Inquisitor (Milos Forman, 2006): the shadows of Europe: dogmatism and persecution
3. Dance Excelsior: the Europe of Progress
4. Germany Year Zero (Roberto Rossellini, 1948): the ruins of Europe

The course takes as its focus the relationships between theories of human rights, concerned with guiding action, and theories about human rights, concerned with foundational questions. In particular the course examines the theory of autonomy, vulnerability, recognition and social justice by Axel Honneth. There is general agreement about the fact that liberal-democratic societies are based on normative principles, which require legal provisions to ensure that governments do not violate anyone’s fundamental rights. Yet, partially on account of the complexity of the ongoing overlapping global processes of integration, deregulation and reform, partially on account of the influence of anti-foundational critique (deconstruction; postmodernism; relativism), these widely accepted principles seem to have lost much of their original explanatory and prescriptive force. Against those who claimed that this problem consists in a mere temporal delay between philosophical investigation and practical application Honneth argued that more is needed than time, hope and persistence to transform theoretically developed principles of freedom and justice into guidelines for political action. In his view the normative principles at the hearth of the human rights discourse are formulated in a manner that prevents us from deriving guidelines for political action. The course will examine the ethical model provided by Honneth for the purpose of situating his theory of social justice as recognition in the analysis of the variety of historically determined institutional instances and practices that embody existentially significant claims to self-realization.

In the first part of the seminar we’ll discuss basic elements of economic analysis of public law, known as public choice theory. In our first meeting we’ll identify two distinct public choice theories—“a public interest” approach (aka Madisonianism or “republicanism”) vs. “public of interests” view (aka “pluralism”). Under the former, decision-makers should base their decisions on “public reason” (in the Rawlsian sense) rather than on self-interest. The aim of public law is to ensure that decision-making is based on impartial considerations. In contrast, the competing theory reflects a welfarist approach, under which the desired social decisions are those that maximize some social welfare function. In general, it endorses a decentralized approach, in which the social decision is achieved by aggregating the relevant persons’ interests and preferences. Accordingly, the aim of public law under this view is to ensure that decisions accurately aggregate the various interests of those affected. We will discuss the central normative and behavioral aspects of each of these theories. In subsequent meetings we will explore some of their implementations in public choice theory and in public law doctrines, regarding four central types of decision-makers: the public, representatives, the Executive Branch and the judiciary.

The course, which is part of the debate on the anthropology of globalization, proposes, in its first part, the study of new political dimensions related to local cultural diversity and/or specificity. Subsequently, the critical elements for analysing, through the anthropological toolkit, the globalist tensions of the rhetoric of human rights and of new "mobile sovereignties", such as, for example, the actions and of "humanitarian government", will be provided. This will also be possible thanks to the illustration of specific ethnographic cases with reference to the body and its policies.

The course offers 8 credits and is divided into 8 parts:

1- Towards the American century.
After brief introduction on the American Constitution and Declaration of Independence, the first part of the course will focus on the progression of events which, starting from the second half of the nineteenth century, laid the foundations for American economic growth, the great wave of migration from Europe, and the progressive affirmation of the United States as a relevant actor on the international scene.

2- From Progressivism to the First World War. The growing intervention of the federal government within American society.
From isolationism to Wilsonian internationalism: political propaganda, the entry of the United States into the First World War and the new international role of the United States.

3- The interwar period. From the “roaring twenties”, which saw the emergence of the American capitalist model to the 1929 crisis and its strong impact on US society.
The thirties, the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal.
US government decision to enter the Second World War, its implication for the domestic and foreign policy, and Roosevelt’s "grand design" for a new international order led by the United States.

4- The origins of the cold war. The division pf the world into blocks and the redesign of American foreign policy. Reconstruction and containment: the Truman doctrine, the Marshall plan and the new "foreign policy making" structures. The Berlin crisis and the Korean war.

5- The fifties and the society of consent. The boom of the American way of life, the suburban family model as an anti-atomic shelter and the McCarthy drift. The evolution of the civil rights movement. Eisenhower administration’s “new look”, the consequences of the domino theory and the integration of the "public diplomacy" in the foreign policy structures of the American government.

6- The sixties. From Kennedy's new frontier to Johnson's Great Society. International crises: Berlin, Cuba and Vietnam. From the society of consensus to the explosion of contradiction and fractures within American society at all levels: the counterculture, the students and the women movements, the radicalization of the civil rights struggle and the Vietnam anti-war movement as catalyst for dissent.

7- The seventies and eighties. Nixon, Kissinger and the realpolitik. Carter and the perception of American decline. Towards the end of the cold war. The Reagan years. The fall of the Berlin wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

8- From the post-cold war to September 11th. The Bush administration.
The Clinton administration. Bush Jr and the challenges of the end of the century.

For all those who take the exam in English, there is a collection of papers and book chapters which can be borrowed from the Library of the Faculty.

DESCRIPTION:

The Course is developed into two main sections, debating on the theoretical concept of the right to development as a human right and analyzing the international development cooperation within the United Nations system as well as the international Organizations – IOs - working in the economic, financial and trade fields. Also the regional and national systems (e.g. the European Union and the Italian framework) and the non institutional actors (e.g. NGOs and private business companies) will be investigated.
METHOD OF PRESENTATION: The Course is articulated mainly into lectures, supported by ppt presentations on all the substantial aspects dealing with the topic of international development law. These lectures will be completed by class readings and discussions about the official international documents adopted by concerned IOs and Countries, as well as by the elaboration and presentation of written papers on practical cooperation mechanisms and models. Moreover the participation to conferences, technical workshops and events to be held in Rome and promoted by public and private entities (i.e. IOs, Ministries, research centres, academia and civil society) will be scheduled.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES:

Students will be able to:

• To comprehensively examine the most significant views regarding the legal framework of the international development law in the past and current international debate as well as in the international practice, in particular concerning IOs.

• To be updated on lessons learned and good practices in terms of international development cooperation frameworks and related challenges, in particular in relation to the new 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda scenario.

• To have an in depth understanding of the crucial role played by institutional and non institutional actors in the international development law framework.

• To get focused on contemporary political, economic, social and cultural issues through the awareness of the pivotal role, played particularly by BRICs and Developing Countries, thanks to the study of ad hoc policy documents.

• The students will develop an inquiring thinking, thanks to a variety of learning activities in class, such as essay questions, oral presentations, writing assignments, reports, case studies, guest speakers, so to have a real and tangible understanding of how international development cooperation theories at large are put into practice by States, International Organizations (IOs), non institutional actors, such as NGO’s, and other key players.

Strategic Studies

Instructor: Niccolò Petrelli
C.F.U. 8

Presentation and Course Aims
What is national strategy? What is the link between foreign policy objectives and defense choices? How is military power developed? What is the connection between technological innovation, industry and national defense? The course aims to introduce the topics of strategy, defense policy and development of military power focusing in particular on the Italian case. The aim of the course is therefore to lead students to familiarize with the concept of national strategy and with the actors and dynamics of defense policy, to inform them about some of the fundamental issues concerning the development of the Armed Forces, and to present a framework reference theorist for the analysis of national defense policies.
At the end of the course students will be in possession of:

1. Basic knowledge of strategic theory, Italian defense and military policies within the framework of NATO and the EU.
2. Analytical tools necessary for an informed discussion of the themes of strategy and defense in the context of the post-Cold War international political system.

The course starts with an analysis of the concept of strategy in its various forms, providing a general overview of strategic theory. Subsequently, it introduces a series of analytical tools aimed at understanding the dynamics of formation of the strategy at the national level, the problems linked to it and the actors involved. Particular attention will be devoted to the Italian case through the study of the mechanisms and methods of development of the national security strategy (SSN), of the national security architecture and of the defense policy on the basis of primary sources, first of all the White Book of Defense of 2015.
In the second part the course moves to analyze military affairs. The main theories developed in the defense field from the mid-90s and the main enabling technologies are examined in detail. This is followed by an analysis of the main challenges related to the transformation, development and modernization of the armed forces. It focuses on the Italian armed forces in the Euro-Atlantic framework, with particular reference to the potential and risks posed by the application of ideas related to the theories of the Revolution in Military Affairs, the Network-Centric Warfare. Last but not least the course tackles the topic of the industrial aspects of Italian defense policy.
The course closes with an analysis of the future trajectory of EU defense policies based on analysis of technological-industrial-military trends of the last twenty years.

Teaching Approach and Evaluation Criteria
The course is divided into lectures. Their format however, is similar to that of a seminar , ie it involves continuous interaction between teacher and students. Before each class, students are required to take the readings assigned by the teacher in order to conduct an informed discussion on the topics covered in the classroom. The course teaching material is half in Italian and half in English, whose knowledge is therefore essential.

The course is articulated in two parts.The topic issue is focused on the nature and the classification of war referring to the major international theories (Clausewitz; Schmitt; Aron). The course analyzes the evolution of war in terms of power and legal limits to the use of violence from Westphalia to the present day. In the second part the course discusses the Samuel Huntington theory of «The Clash of Civilization» to develop a new theoretical framework understanding the world politics after the cold war.

The course takes as its focus the relationships between theories of human rights, concerned with guiding action, and theories about human rights, concerned with foundational questions. In particular the course examines the theory of autonomy, vulnerability, recognition and social justice by Axel Honneth. There is general agreement about the fact that liberal-democratic societies are based on normative principles, which require legal provisions to ensure that governments do not violate anyone’s fundamental rights. Yet, partially on account of the complexity of the ongoing overlapping global processes of integration, deregulation and reform, partially on account of the influence of anti-foundational critique (deconstruction; postmodernism; relativism), these widely accepted principles seem to have lost much of their original explanatory and prescriptive force. Against those who claimed that this problem consists in a mere temporal delay between philosophical investigation and practical application Honneth argued that more is needed than time, hope and persistence to transform theoretically developed principles of freedom and justice into guidelines for political action. In his view the normative principles at the hearth of the human rights discourse are formulated in a manner that prevents us from deriving guidelines for political action. The course will examine the ethical model provided by Honneth for the purpose of situating his theory of social justice as recognition in the analysis of the variety of historically determined institutional instances and practices that embody existentially significant claims to self-realization.

In the first part of the seminar we’ll discuss basic elements of economic analysis of public law, known as public choice theory. In our first meeting we’ll identify two distinct public choice theories—“a public interest” approach (aka Madisonianism or “republicanism”) vs. “public of interests” view (aka “pluralism”). Under the former, decision-makers should base their decisions on “public reason” (in the Rawlsian sense) rather than on self-interest. The aim of public law is to ensure that decision-making is based on impartial considerations. In contrast, the competing theory reflects a welfarist approach, under which the desired social decisions are those that maximize some social welfare function. In general, it endorses a decentralized approach, in which the social decision is achieved by aggregating the relevant persons’ interests and preferences. Accordingly, the aim of public law under this view is to ensure that decisions accurately aggregate the various interests of those affected. We will discuss the central normative and behavioral aspects of each of these theories. In subsequent meetings we will explore some of their implementations in public choice theory and in public law doctrines, regarding four central types of decision-makers: the public, representatives, the Executive Branch and the judiciary.

The course will focus on the political history of energy and on the environmental consequences of the emergence of different energy regimes from the beginning of the 20th century to the present time.
We will explore the passage from the age of coal, to the age of hydrocarbons, to the most recent trends towards alternative energy sources and "peak demand" for oil. This will be done by analysing great power politics, the expansion of Fordism and consumerism, the role of multinational oil companies, the pressures for decolonization and the emergence of the environmentalist debate from the 1970s.
Questions and concepts such as “resource curse”, “conservationism”, “Dutch disease”, “limits of growth”, "peak oil", "sustainable development", will be discussed and informed by relevant literature (and possibly archival material), images and documentaries.

DESCRIPTION:

The Course is developed into two main sections, debating on the theoretical concept of the right to development as a human right and analyzing the international development cooperation within the United Nations system as well as the international Organizations – IOs - working in the economic, financial and trade fields. Also the regional and national systems (e.g. the European Union and the Italian framework) and the non institutional actors (e.g. NGOs and private business companies) will be investigated.
METHOD OF PRESENTATION: The Course is articulated mainly into lectures, supported by ppt presentations on all the substantial aspects dealing with the topic of international development law. These lectures will be completed by class readings and discussions about the official international documents adopted by concerned IOs and Countries, as well as by the elaboration and presentation of written papers on practical cooperation mechanisms and models. Moreover the participation to conferences, technical workshops and events to be held in Rome and promoted by public and private entities (i.e. IOs, Ministries, research centres, academia and civil society) will be scheduled.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES:

Students will be able to:

• To comprehensively examine the most significant views regarding the legal framework of the international development law in the past and current international debate as well as in the international practice, in particular concerning IOs.

• To be updated on lessons learned and good practices in terms of international development cooperation frameworks and related challenges, in particular in relation to the new 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda scenario.

• To have an in depth understanding of the crucial role played by institutional and non institutional actors in the international development law framework.

• To get focused on contemporary political, economic, social and cultural issues through the awareness of the pivotal role, played particularly by BRICs and Developing Countries, thanks to the study of ad hoc policy documents.

• The students will develop an inquiring thinking, thanks to a variety of learning activities in class, such as essay questions, oral presentations, writing assignments, reports, case studies, guest speakers, so to have a real and tangible understanding of how international development cooperation theories at large are put into practice by States, International Organizations (IOs), non institutional actors, such as NGO’s, and other key players.

In the first part of the seminar we’ll discuss basic elements of economic analysis of public law, known as public choice theory. In our first meeting we’ll identify two distinct public choice theories—“a public interest” approach (aka Madisonianism or “republicanism”) vs. “public of interests” view (aka “pluralism”). Under the former, decision-makers should base their decisions on “public reason” (in the Rawlsian sense) rather than on self-interest. The aim of public law is to ensure that decision-making is based on impartial considerations. In contrast, the competing theory reflects a welfarist approach, under which the desired social decisions are those that maximize some social welfare function. In general, it endorses a decentralized approach, in which the social decision is achieved by aggregating the relevant persons’ interests and preferences. Accordingly, the aim of public law under this view is to ensure that decisions accurately aggregate the various interests of those affected. We will discuss the central normative and behavioral aspects of each of these theories. In subsequent meetings we will explore some of their implementations in public choice theory and in public law doctrines, regarding four central types of decision-makers: the public, representatives, the Executive Branch and the judiciary.

The course aims to analyze the modalities of formation of the European States pluralistic system born in the Modern Age from the disintegration of the imperial and pontifical universalisms of the Middle Ages, following the metamorphoses of three key concepts (universal monarchy, balance of power, supranational bodies) in the context of the political-diplomatic and war events of the Four-Eighteenth Century. Particular attention will be devoted to the transformations of the concept of monarchia universalis in the context of territorial and imperial States between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (Spain, Holland and England), to the international practice of balance of power before and after the Thirty Years War, to development of the idea of peace and to the first proposals of supranational organizations for the resolution of conflicts between States.
