The aim of the course is to analyze institutional models, which are emerging above all under the pressure of economic processes, models that are characterized by the existence of several levels of "governance" and which are identifiable or not in federal state forms.
The analysis of the various models presupposes a correct identification of the relations between institutions and the economy that can not be considered as "opposing units" but as two polarities of a process that evolves dialectically in a varied and complex manner.

On the part of the program relating to the autonomy system we recommend the study of: C. Rossano, Manuale di Diritto pubblico, latest edition (Lo Stato e la Comunità internazionale, Forme di Stato, Lo Stato e le autonomie costituzionali).
On the part of the program relating to European, extra-European federalisms and supranational federalism: R. Bifulco (ed.), Ordinamenti federali comparati, vol. 2 (America Latina, India, Europa, Unione Europea), Giappichelli 2012, three forms of State.
