The course aims to analyze the modalities of formation of the European States pluralistic system born in the Modern Age from the disintegration of the imperial and pontifical universalisms of the Middle Ages, following the metamorphoses of three key concepts (universal monarchy, balance of power, supranational bodies) in the context of the political-diplomatic and war events of the Four-Eighteenth Century. 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.

This course intends to offer students an insight on American history and culture both in international and transnational perspective. The role played by the United States in international affairs in the 20th century is such that scholars have come to label the intervening period between the Spanish-American War and the end of the Cold War, the American Century. Actually, the U.S. still plays a major role in international relations while its position and interaction with the rest of the world was already prominent in the 19th century. Moreover, U.S. history, like the history of other countries, was forged by the country’s interaction with other parts of the world and by the inevitable transnational connections with other nations. The course therefore offers an interpretation of American history in a transnational perspective while familiarizing the students with some of the major historians of the past century and with the more recent historiography, methodology and critical analyses of American history.

Europe is born from a myth: the abduction of Europe by Zeus in the form of a bull that takes it from the East to the West, in Greece where the first Mediterranean civilization, the Mycenaean civilization, blooms. Initially identified in Greece as opposed to the Persian "barbarians", Europe took different forms over time with different traits (Roman Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Christian Respublica, République des lettres, etc..), opposing from time to time to the "barbarian" of turn, tearing itself apart in internal wars, conquering a cultural, scientific-technological, political and civil, and finally becoming a "torch of civilization" in the world outside Europe to be civilized, or to be conquered. Eurocentrism, colonialism, imperialism on the one hand, nationalism, racism, totalitarianism on the other, plunge Europe into the barbarity of world wars and the moral defeat of the Holocaust.
After the Second World War, Europe was reborn as the European Union, in the name of peace, democracy and the guarantee of subjective rights.

Contents

Training Objectives
The course aims to deepen the study of the Spanish language and culture. The aim is to develop communicative and socio-cultural competence through, fundamentally, the study of the Hispanic political world.

Module I concerns an in-depth study of the political language and the phraseology of sectoral use (political language), from a communicative and cultural point of view.

Module II will have as its subject the study of the presence of Hispanic culture in the Mediterranean and Caribbean area.

Prerequisites
The course is taught by the Spanish language teacher. Initially, therefore, sufficient knowledge of the oral language (level B1) is required in order to follow the lessons.

Didactic Methods
The teaching for the Course of Culture of the Spanish Language Countries (8 CFU) is divided into two modules: 1) Cultural; 2) Linguistic.

Module I Culture: the topics will be dealt with frontally and in the form of seminars. Students are therefore required to follow both the lessons and the seminars that will take place during the academic year and that will be reported by the teacher. A paper to be agreed with the teacher will be carried out.

I Module II: Sectoral languages. The political language: the topics will be dealt with frontally and it is planned to carry out a thesis to be agreed with the teacher.


Methods of verifying learning
The examination includes an oral interview.
The oral examination, which can only be taken by those with a level starting from B1, concerns module I (Culture) and module II (Sectoral languages. Political language) and will take into account the thesis that is preliminary to the oral examination and must be given at least one week before the oral exam.

The topic issue is focused on the nature and the classification of war referring to the major international theories (Clausewitz; Schmitt; Aron). More specifically, the course analyzes the evolution of war in terms of power and legal limits to the use of violence from Westphalia to the present day and discusses the Samuel Huntington theory of «The Clash of Civilization» to develop a new theoretical framework understanding the world politics after the cold war.

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.

The International Macroeconomics course addresses some of the most relevant issues of modern macroeconomic theory: the phenomenon of long-term growth, the effects of the interaction of an economy with the rest of the world, the process of economic and monetary integration in Europe, public debt, the labour market and the general equilibrium model AS-AD.

The Programme (8 CFU) for the academic year 2016/2017, consists of the following four parts (which can be easily traced back to the textbook. Note that the appendices are not planned, unless otherwise communicated):

1) Fundamentals: the short term. This part will focus on the following issues: The commodity market; the financial markets; the IS-TML model; the IS-TML model in an open economy. In particular, chapters 2, 5 (with references to chapter 3 and 4 when necessary), 6. There is also a part on the slides, entitled 'A different IS-TML model and the effects of a financial crisis'.
2) Fundamentals: the medium term. This part will focus on the following issues The labour market; The AS-AD model; The natural unemployment rate and the Phillips curve; Inflation and production. In particular, chapters 7, 8, 9 (up to and including section 3.3).
3) Fundamentals: the long term. This part will focus on the following themes: Growth: the main facts; Saving, capital accumulation and production; Technological progress and growth. In particular, chapters 12, 13, 14.
4) Part 4: Insights. This part will focus on the following issues Expectations; Expectations, consumption, investments; Expectations, production and economic policy; Economic policy in open economy; Public debt. In particular chapters 17, 18, 19, 21 (excluding the fourth section).
The course also includes three in-depth studies on specific topics, which constitute examination material. The first section, 'Technological change and the labour market', is an essay by Valerio Intraligi and Paolo Naticchioni. The second is the introduction of Thomas Piketty's best seller "The Capital in the 21st Century". The third, an Istat press release on the labour force. The PDF documents of the two in-depth studies are available on the teacher's website.

The reference text is the following: O. Blanchard, A. Amighini and F. Giavazzi, Macroeconomics: a European perspective, Il Mulino, 2014 (note that in October 2016 an updated version of the text was published, which given the timing of the release will not be considered in this academic year. The teacher will examine only a small part of the new edition, and in this case the material will be included in the slides).

THE COURSE IS INFORMALLY DIVIDED INTO TWO MODULES, THE FIRST OF 4 AND THE SECOND OF 4 CFU. THEY ARE LINKED BY THE AIM OF EXAMINING THE PROCESSES OF ECONOMIC AND MONETARY INTEGRATION THROUGH THE ELIMINATION OF TRADE BARRIERS AND THE FORMATION OF REGIONAL CURRENCY AREAS. THE NECESSARY ELEMENTS FOR THE DEFINITION OF NEW RULES IN ECONOMIC POLICY RELATIONS BETWEEN THE SOVEREIGN MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND BETWEEN THIS PLANETARY REGION AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ARE ANALYSED.

THE FIRST MODULE DEALS WITH THE DIFFERENT PHASES OF THE PROCESSES OF ECONOMIC INTEGRATION IMPLEMENTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC INSTITUTIONS WITHIN THE DIFFERENT INTERNATIONAL MONETARY SYSTEMS AND THE COSTS AND BENEFITS OF COMPLETE AND INCOMPLETE MONETARY UNIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE THEORY OF OPTIMAL CURRENCY AREAS.

THE SECOND MODULE DEALS WITH THE PROBLEMS OF THE TRANSITION TO A COMPLETE MONETARY UNION AND THE COORDINATION OF MACRO-MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICIES IN MONETARY UNIONS AIMED AT MONETARY STABILITY, FINANCIAL STABILITY, INTEGRATION OF FINANCIAL MARKETS, CONTROL OF THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC CYCLE.
THE 8 CFU COURSE INCLUDES THE INTRODUCTION OF THE CESIFO REPORT ON THE EUROPEAN ECONOMY.

DESCRIPTION:

The Course is developed into two main sections, debating on the theoretical concept of the right to development as a human right and analyzing the international development cooperation within the United Nations system as well as the international Organizations – IOs - working in the economic, financial and trade fields. Also the regional and national systems (e.g. the European Union and the Italian framework) and the non institutional actors (e.g. NGOs and private business companies) will be investigated.
METHOD OF PRESENTATION: The Course is articulated mainly into lectures, supported by ppt presentations on all the substantial aspects dealing with the topic of international development law. These lectures will be completed by class readings and discussions about the official international documents adopted by concerned IOs and Countries, as well as by the elaboration and presentation of written papers on practical cooperation mechanisms and models. Moreover the participation to conferences, technical workshops and events to be held in Rome and promoted by public and private entities (i.e. IOs, Ministries, research centres, academia and civil society) will be scheduled.

RECOMMENDED READINGS: to be further communicated

see the version in Italian

The course is divided into two parts. In the first part, first of all, we briefly recall the events that characterize the history of contemporary Latin America, then we reconstruct the genesis and evolution of the perspectives of analysis relating to transatlantic history and global history, to show the most significant research paths that distinguish them and we reflect on the ambivalences that run through them. In the second part we analyse the most significant processes that characterise the contemporary history of Latin America: political transitions; migration dynamics; cultural exchanges; regional integration processes; transnational economic and social networks.

This course intends to offer students an insight on American history and culture both in international and transnational perspective. The role played by the United States in international affairs in the 20th century is such that scholars have come to label the intervening period between the Spanish-American War and the end of the Cold War, the American Century. Actually, the U.S. still plays a major role in international relations while its position and interaction with the rest of the world was already prominent in the 19th century. Moreover, U.S. history, like the history of other countries, was forged by the country’s interaction with other parts of the world and by the inevitable transnational connections with other nations. The course therefore offers an interpretation of American history in a transnational perspective while familiarizing the students with some of the major historians of the past century and with the more recent historiography, methodology and critical analyses of American history.

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.

In addition, the course has critically analyzed the main concepts and theories on conflict, peace and security by presenting the debates currently taking place in this field of study and has socialized the students in the literature and languages on the subject.

The course has the following educational objectives

a) learning and understanding of the conflicts of the contemporary world in all their complexity and in their respective differences, of the main actors and of the internal and external dynamics;

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;

d) identification of the main issues, such as containment/blocking of violence, human security, human rights, post-traumatic rehabilitation of communities and social systems, non-violent methods of dispute and conflict management.

The first provides a theorical framework of the transition process and analyzes the conceptual debate about democratic foundation and the challenges of democratic consolidation. The second part moves from the theory to practice and explores the specific democratization trajectories in Southern and Eastern Europe during the Second and the Third Wave emphasizing the legacies of the former non democratic regimes.

The course aims to analyze the modalities of formation of the European States pluralistic system born in the Modern Age from the disintegration of the imperial and pontifical universalisms of the Middle Ages, following the metamorphoses of three key concepts (universal monarchy, balance of power, supranational bodies) in the context of the political-diplomatic and war events of the Four-Eighteenth Century. 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.

This course intends to offer students an insight on American history and culture both in international and transnational perspective. The role played by the United States in international affairs in the 20th century is such that scholars have come to label the intervening period between the Spanish-American War and the end of the Cold War, the American Century. Actually, the U.S. still plays a major role in international relations while its position and interaction with the rest of the world was already prominent in the 19th century. Moreover, U.S. history, like the history of other countries, was forged by the country’s interaction with other parts of the world and by the inevitable transnational connections with other nations. The course therefore offers an interpretation of American history in a transnational perspective while familiarizing the students with some of the major historians of the past century and with the more recent historiography, methodology and critical analyses of American history.

The International Macroeconomics course addresses some of the most relevant issues of modern macroeconomic theory: the phenomenon of long-term growth, the effects of the interaction of an economy with the rest of the world, the process of economic and monetary integration in Europe, public debt, the labour market and the general equilibrium model AS-AD.

The Programme (8 CFU) for the academic year 2016/2017, consists of the following four parts (which can be easily traced back to the textbook. Note that the appendices are not planned, unless otherwise communicated):

1) Fundamentals: the short term. This part will focus on the following issues: The commodity market; the financial markets; the IS-TML model; the IS-TML model in an open economy. In particular, chapters 2, 5 (with references to chapter 3 and 4 when necessary), 6. There is also a part on the slides, entitled 'A different IS-TML model and the effects of a financial crisis'.
2) Fundamentals: the medium term. This part will focus on the following issues The labour market; The AS-AD model; The natural unemployment rate and the Phillips curve; Inflation and production. In particular, chapters 7, 8, 9 (up to and including section 3.3).
3) Fundamentals: the long term. This part will focus on the following themes: Growth: the main facts; Saving, capital accumulation and production; Technological progress and growth. In particular, chapters 12, 13, 14.
4) Part 4: Insights. This part will focus on the following issues Expectations; Expectations, consumption, investments; Expectations, production and economic policy; Economic policy in open economy; Public debt. In particular chapters 17, 18, 19, 21 (excluding the fourth section).
The course also includes three in-depth studies on specific topics, which constitute examination material. The first section, 'Technological change and the labour market', is an essay by Valerio Intraligi and Paolo Naticchioni. The second is the introduction of Thomas Piketty's best seller "The Capital in the 21st Century". The third, an Istat press release on the labour force. The PDF documents of the two in-depth studies are available on the teacher's website.

The reference text is the following: O. Blanchard, A. Amighini and F. Giavazzi, Macroeconomics: a European perspective, Il Mulino, 2014 (note that in October 2016 an updated version of the text was published, which given the timing of the release will not be considered in this academic year. The teacher will examine only a small part of the new edition, and in this case the material will be included in the slides).

THE COURSE IS INFORMALLY DIVIDED INTO TWO MODULES, THE FIRST OF 4 AND THE SECOND OF 4 CFU. THEY ARE LINKED BY THE AIM OF EXAMINING THE PROCESSES OF ECONOMIC AND MONETARY INTEGRATION THROUGH THE ELIMINATION OF TRADE BARRIERS AND THE FORMATION OF REGIONAL CURRENCY AREAS. THE NECESSARY ELEMENTS FOR THE DEFINITION OF NEW RULES IN ECONOMIC POLICY RELATIONS BETWEEN THE SOVEREIGN MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND BETWEEN THIS PLANETARY REGION AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ARE ANALYSED.

THE FIRST MODULE DEALS WITH THE DIFFERENT PHASES OF THE PROCESSES OF ECONOMIC INTEGRATION IMPLEMENTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC INSTITUTIONS WITHIN THE DIFFERENT INTERNATIONAL MONETARY SYSTEMS AND THE COSTS AND BENEFITS OF COMPLETE AND INCOMPLETE MONETARY UNIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE THEORY OF OPTIMAL CURRENCY AREAS.

THE SECOND MODULE DEALS WITH THE PROBLEMS OF THE TRANSITION TO A COMPLETE MONETARY UNION AND THE COORDINATION OF MACRO-MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICIES IN MONETARY UNIONS AIMED AT MONETARY STABILITY, FINANCIAL STABILITY, INTEGRATION OF FINANCIAL MARKETS, CONTROL OF THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC CYCLE.
THE 8 CFU COURSE INCLUDES THE INTRODUCTION OF THE CESIFO REPORT ON THE EUROPEAN ECONOMY.

The topic issue is focused on the nature and the classification of war referring to the major international theories (Clausewitz; Schmitt; Aron). More specifically, the course analyzes the evolution of war in terms of power and legal limits to the use of violence from Westphalia to the present day and discusses the Samuel Huntington theory of «The Clash of Civilization» to develop a new theoretical framework understanding the world politics after the cold war.

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.

The course is developed into two main sections. Firstly, a reconstruction of the conflict situation will be under focus according to a multidisciplinary approach, followed by a definition of the international legal framework of armed international and civil conflicts, completed by a reference to past and present operational modalities: in this section the core topic concerns the legal contents and implementation od peace agreements. In the second section, the role and intervention of the United Nations as well as other regional intergovernmental actors, in order to prevent and manage international crisis will be properly investigated.

CONTENT:

The course, which centres particularly on social and cultural processes, as well as on political and institutional relations, aims to critically reflect on themes and problems connected with the politics of human rights in Latin America, the dictatorships and the relationship with the United States during the late XX th Century. In the first part, it will focus on an overview of the salient moments of the century in the long run: the processes of Nation building; the genesis of US imperialism; populist regimes; the role played by Latin America in the bipolar conflict. In the second part, a special emphasis will be placed on the so-called ‘dirty wars’ of bureaucractic-authoritarian regimes of the Southern Cone, including the politics of exile toward several destinations. It will conclude by delving into the deep transformations of citizenship and rights until the reconstructions of the realm of Latin American civil society at the turn of the century.


METHOD OF PRESENTATION:

The course will take place not only according to the traditional classroom approach but it will also be completed by audiovisual material, power points and slides to better explain and contextualize several issues with practical case-studies. (i.e. covert operations and coups d’etat in the Southern Cone region) and class debate.
Students will be given detailed guidance to help them navigate a selection of secondary literature and primary sources and there will be occasional guest lectures. Active participation is vital to this course, which will be held in colloquium format. Students are recommended to complete the readings prior to class, be prepared with questions and thoughts about the readings and participate fully in the discussions.
