POLITICAL ECONOMY
(objectives)
The course is structured in two main parts.
The first part is concerned with Microeconomics, where the students will learn how markets and governance structures organize core economic activities, such as production, distribution, and consumption, and the growth of productive resources. Upon completion of this part students will be able to identify and explain economic concepts and theories related to the behavior of economic agents, markets, industry and firm structures, and government policies. Moreover, students will be able to integrate theoretical knowledge with quantitative evidence in order to explain main economic events. Students will be able to evaluate the consequences of economic activities and institutions for individual and social welfare.
The second part is concerned with Macroeconomics, where the students will learn about the determinants of macroeconomic conditions (national output, employment, inflation), causes of business cycles, and interactions of monetary and financial markets with the real economy, familiarizing themselves in the process with major economic theories of relevance.
Upon completion of the second part students will be able to identify the determinants of various macroeconomic aggregates such as output, unemployment, inflation, productivity and the major challenges associated with the measurement of these aggregates. They will be able to discuss the linkages between financial markets and the real economy, and how these linkages influence the impact of economic policies over differing time horizons. Moreover, students will be able to describe the main macroeconomic theories of short term fluctuations and long term growth in the economy and they will be able to critically evaluate the consequences of basic macroeconomic policy options under differing economic conditions within a business cycle.

Deepen the study of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture to achieve a true communicative and sociocultural competence. To this end, the course is divided into three modules: the first module (language) provides for the study of the morphosyntactic functioning of Spanish (level B1 +); in the second module (phraseology and paremiology) we will deal with the formal and semantic characteristics of phraseological and paremiological units at multiple levels (morphological, syntactic, semantic, contrastive [Spanish / Italian] and, in particular, cultural). The third module provides the approach to the study of some specialty languages: sectorial (political, economic), technical-scientific (IT) and argot (social net word), through the analysis of original written texts in Spanish and listening (YouTube channel, database, corpora) of authentic oral materials. The course, structured as follows, will allow you to familiarize yourself with dynamics concerning the language, culture, politics, society and economy of the current Spanish-speaking world.

STORIA DELLA RUSSIA E DELL'EUROPA CENTRO ORIENTALE
(objectives)
The History of Central-Eastern Europe and Russia embraces the study of the main political, economic and social dynamics of the countries of Central Europe, of the South-Eastern part of the continent and of Russia in contemporary age, with inevitable references also to the events of the modern age. The study of this area is particularly important for students of Political Science because like few areas in the world it allows them to analyze the processes of nation building and state building and therefore, after 1917 in Russia/Ussr and after 1945 in most of Eastern Europe, the impact that the construction of communist dictatorships had on those societies. After 1990, on the other hand, students will be able to appreciate the processes of transition to a market economy and Western-style democracy. Finally, it is worth emphasizing how today the Italian cultural and economic presence is very important in many countries of the region.

GLOBAL HISTORY
(objectives)
During the early modern period, unprecedented economic, political, and cultural interconnections played a significant role in shaping new images of the world. Through an examination of historical and literary sources, we will analyze these transformations from a dual perspective. Firstly, we will investigate the metamorphoses in the concepts and practices of sovereignty prompted by the emergence of the first colonial empires. Secondly, we will explore how these changes influenced the formation of paradigms that support 'global' or 'connected' interpretations of social phenomena, delving into their origins, methodologies, and impacts.
