Objectives
At the end of the course students will have a good knowledge of the topics covered in the lessons and be able not only to identify the main theories, actors, institutions, policy instruments and the different stages of creation of public policies, but also to critically evaluate the policy-making processes and the development of policies resulting from the impact of domestic and international factors.

Program
The making of public policies is one of the basic functions of each political system, it affects the arrangement of solutions by policy makers to the problems that arise in society. The analysis of public policies is a specific perspective of study in political science that the course intends to introduce. The particular objective is to provide the conceptual tools for understanding and analysing the policy process.
The lessons will be split in two parts: general introduction and empirical application.
The first part will introduce the basic concepts of the discipline, it will give an overview of the definitions of “public policy” and will outline the various approaches to the study of public policies. Then, will be presented the main typologies of policies, the actors involved in their production, and the different stages that give rise to the policy making process: agenda setting, formulation, decision, implementation, evaluation. Lastly, will be discussed the national styles of policy making and the influence of international factors on them. Particular attention will be paid to the role played by nterest groups and lobbying in the policy making process.
The second part will be dedicated to the analysis of some relevant public policies (administrative, budgetary, anti-corruption, education, welfare, health, migration, etc.) adopted in Italy over the last twenty-five years.

Manuale di contabilità di Stato, di Daniela Bolognino, Cacucci 2019

The course offers an interpretative-methodological framework to the transport-territory economic relationship, based on the assumption that the transport system is a pre-requisite for the development of industrial and tourist activities. With this in mind, the course deals with the problems that arise in the study of the four main modes of transport, with the further objective of outlining the theoretical state of the art of this research field.

In more detail, the following topics are discussed: 1) Transport historical and geographical dimension - (Economy and transport in the twentieth century; The global development of transport; Congestion: consequence of the imbalance between modes); 2) Transport regulations - (Community legislation, Italian legislation, transport infrastructure as a natural monopoly, regulation of the infrastructure market as an agency problem, the natural monopoly structure, deliberative democracy and transport regulation); 3) Costs of transport systems - (opportunity costs, shadow prices, sunk costs, external costs, classification of transport costs, trends in transport costs, joint costs and associated costs in the provision of transport services; General cost of transport, costs of transport safety); 4) The analysis of the infrastructural supply - (Economic nature of the transport infrastructures; Infrastructural equipment: concept and purpose; The transport networks; Network economics; Infrastructure capacity analysis); 5) The maritime transport system - (The maritime transport market, The containerized maritime transport, The capacity of a port infrastructure, The analysis of port competitiveness, The operational costs of the maritime transport service, Perspectives of development of the Italian and European port); 6)
The railway transport system - (Italian railway transport, the network as a natural monopoly, the effects of the liberalization of railway transport, the de-regulation and liberalization, the costs of rail transport, the other transport systems with restricted driving); 7) The road transport system - (Roads, road transport, effects of upgrading urban transport infrastructure, an economic analysis of road congestion, market failures in road use and correction policies; Private cost, social cost of the road system); 8) Air transport systems - (Fixed installations in air transport; Air transport between regulation and deregulation; Air fleet; Operational capacity management and pricing techniques; Cost structure in the air sector; Chartering services; low cost carriers; the air transport production function); 9) The analysis of the transport demand - (Analysis of the demand for mobility; Models with discrete choice for the estimation of the demand for mobility; Conjoint analysis and estimation of the demand for mobility; Typologies and project of the surveys; The four-stage model for the estimation of the mobility application); 10) Transport pricing - (The allocation function of tariffs and the limits of traditional methods; Charging systems with excellent prices and discrimination; Transport rates, Ramsey of dynamic price regulation); 11) Evaluation of investments in the transport sector - (Analysis and experimentation of investments in the transport sector, Cost-Benefit Analysis (ACB), Evaluation of extra market assets, Multi criteria analysis).

Purpose of the course and articulation of the program
The course proposes the study of the private law of the public administration, offering a general framework of the administrative activity with particular reference to the obligations arising from the Public Administration, identifying the scope where it acts according to private law schemes, subject to the relative discipline, and also highlighting the particular profiles related to its nature.
The necessary premise consists of the distinction between public law and private law as well as between public entities, in charge of the administrative function (and summarized as public administrations), which act for general interest purposes, and private subjects, which pursue viceversa interests details.
The investigation, in its general part, has as its object the activity of common law of the Public Administration, analyzing institutions and relationships in which the public administrations operate as subjects of common law: from private organizational forms, to the ownership of dominical rights, to the stipulation, instead of issuing administrative measures, negotiation with private parties, and finally civil liability for the injury of subjective legal situations pertaining to individuals.
The special part is dedicated to the civil responsibility of the PA, using the method of the study of cases on the basis of judgments issued by various judicial authorities (Constitutional Court, Council of State, TAR, Court of Cassation and ordinary Courts), which offer an opportunity to the examination of relevant issues, among which, for example, responsibility in the management of public services, indirect responsibility, responsibility for the provision of health services, responsibility for the illegitimate exercise of administrative power.
