HOWEVER, THE DECISION-MAKING PROCEDURES AND INSTRUMENTS THAT REGULATES THE EU'S FOREIGN AND SECURITY POLICY REMAIN DIFFERENT FROM THOSE THAT CHARACTERIZE OTHER EXTERNAL POLITICS AND THE UNITY OF INTENT AMONG MEMBER STATES IS STILL INSUFFICIENT, THUS HAMPERING THE COOPERATION WITH OTHER INTERNATIONAL ACTORS, FROM THE UNITED NATIONS TO REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING STATE ACTORS AND NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS. THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE THEORETICAL, HISTORICAL, INSTITUTIONAL AND POLITICAL ASPECTS OF THE EU'S INTEGRATION PROCESS IN THE FIELDS OF FOREIGN, SECURITY AND DEFENCE POLICY, AS WELL AS OTHER MAIN EXTERNAL POLICIES OF THE EU, WITH THE AIM OF ANALYZING AND EVALUATING BOTH THE COHESION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMMON ACTION OF THE UNION IN ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD AND ON THE GLOBAL SCALE.	8	IUS/14	64	-	-	-	Related or supplementary learning activities	ITA

21810017 - LATIN AMERICA IN THE 20TH CENTURY (objectives) DESCRIPTION: The course is aimed at providing notions of the main events and processes that marked the historical development of Latin America across the XX century. Key issues such as Inter-American relations during the Cold War, the politics of human rights violations of the 1970 S and transitions to democracy during the 1990s, will be critically examined in light of broad comparative themes in Latin American history. Particular emphasis will be placed on the models of periodization which have been hypothesized by different historiographic stances, which sometimes emphasise continuities, or on the contrary discontinuities, in this time frame. Course materials include secondary sources in history, social and political science, as well as primary documents, documentaries and film in order to provide insight into the complex and diverse history of the region. COURSE OBJECTIVES: Broadly speaking, students are expected to achieve the learning goals specific to the study of history: 1) to recognize and appreciate the difference of the past and the diversity of other cultures, and gain an understanding of the processes and causes of change and continuity over time; 2) to acquire foundational knowledge of, and learn the issues, debates, and interpretations of historians for the complex making of historical processes 3) to develop the ability to evaluate critically the arguments and analytical methods of historians, and learn to assess critically the evidence of the past through first-hand exposure to primary sources and historical research 4) to develop the skills of clear and coherent historical writing as well as confident oral presentations. Those general learning goals will be tested in terms of acquiring specific notions of the main events and processes that marked the historical development of Latin America across the XX century.	8	SPS/05	64	-	-	-	Related or supplementary learning activities	ENG
21810010 - EUROPEAN UNION INTERNAL MARKET LAW (objectives) The course provides the basis of European constitutional law through a review of supranational law sources and its functioning between national and European legal systems. Moreover, the course aims to open a debate on the basic structure of the EU form of government, on the functioning of European institutions, and on the protection of fundamental rights at supranational level.	8	IUS/02	64	-	-	-	Related or supplementary learning activities	ENG
21810012 - EUROPEAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW (objectives) The course intends to provide students a guidance on finding, evaluating and understanding the European system of law and the process of European integration as a whole. The course deals with the doctrinal construction as well as the practical application of European Constitutional Law. European integration built a supranational system of government that, nowadays, counts 28 Member States and acts within almost all areas of social life. In fact, European law has come to influence and develop national law on the base of a supremacy principle: national Institutions, protection of fundamental rights as well as national systems of sources of law are now unavoidably defined by such European dimension, that brings and derives from constitutional integration. Thus, the course regards the constitutional foundations of European Union, how does it works and the way it produces law. Moreover, it focuses on main issues arising from relationship between national and European levels of government, in the light of multilevel constitutionalism.	8	IUS/08	64	-	-	-	Related or supplementary learning activities	ENG
