NUCLEAR POWER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM
(objectives)
The course aims to provide the student with the essential tools to understand the nuclear issue as an international problem. To this end, it is crucial to go deeper in the analysis of how the exploitation of atomic energy has evolved since the 1930s and how it has progressively acquired a decisive political dimension, due to the absolute value of the destructive capacity of its military use. Moreover, students will examine the effects of the technology evolution and the inevitable diffusion of the related knowledge from a political-international perspective and they will try to understand to what extent the nuclear issue has influenced the thinking of the political and military theorists.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE LAW
(objectives)
The course aims to address some fundamental issues of public law from the perspective of economic analysis of law. Indeed, rational choice and game theories can usefully explain not only the typical market trends, which have long been the target of economic analysis of private law, but they can also explain strategic conducts by citizens, political and institutional actors in the public sphere. Moreover, thanks to the many applications and examples of positive law, the course intends to analyze the foundations of this approach and to outline the contribution that it can provide for a deeper understanding of some of the main issues of modern constitutionalism and for the functioning of public agencies.

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.

THEORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
(objectives)
Today human rights are the dominant moral doctrine for evaluating the moral status of the contemporary geo-political order. In the 20th century a broad consensus has emerged on framing judgment of nations against an international moral code prescribing certain benefits and treatment for all humans. Within many nations, political debates rage over the denial or abuse of human rights. Legal documents to protect human rights have proliferated. The course examines the philosophical basis and content of the doctrine of human rights. It assesses the contemporary significance of human rights, charts the historical development of the concept of human rights, beginning with a discussion of the earliest philosophical origins of the bases of human rights and culminating in some of most recent developments in their codification. It analyses also the formal and substantive distinctions philosophers have drawn between various forms and categories of human rights, the justifications of their claims, and the main criticism currently addressed to them.

MAIOLO FRANCESCO
( syllabus)
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.

ROSATO VALERIA
( syllabus)
The programme is composed of 4 sections:
1. Analysis of the different characteristics of conflicts, their sources, the dynamics of escalation/descalation and the different types of actors involved. Theories and models in comparison.
2. Comparison of strategies and methods for the resolution/transformation of conflicts, between bottom-up and top-down approaches; study of mediation and negotiation techniques and non-violent approaches.
3. In-depth analysis of issues related to peace-building and peacekeeping; diversity of approach between peacebuilding and nation-building; international interventions in top/down and bottom/up perspectives; in-depth analysis of unexpected consequences and 'perverse effects' emerging in peace processes; analysis of security problems in post-conflict situations.
4. Deepening the reconstruction of the social fabric: deconstruction of the enemy, justice and reconciliation.

b) learning and understanding of the institutional, political, social and cultural processes and transformations typical of the so-called war-torn societies, of the characteristics and dynamics of peacebuilding and nationbuilding, of their successes and failures, also considered in the light of the sociological theories of 'perverse effects' and 'unintentional consequences';
c) familiarisation with the main theories and methods of conflict transformation and peace promotion in both the different macro/meso/micro dimensions and in the different top-down (state and intergovernmental organisation level) and bottom-up (civil society level and transnational mobilisations) approaches;
