Objectives
At the end of the course students will have a good knowledge of the topics covered in the lessons and be able not only to identify the main theories, actors, institutions, policy instruments and the different stages of creation of public policies, but also to critically evaluate the policy-making processes and the development of policies resulting from the impact of domestic and international factors.

Program
The making of public policies is one of the basic functions of each political system, it affects the arrangement of solutions by policy makers to the problems that arise in society. The analysis of public policies is a specific perspective of study in political science that the course intends to introduce. The particular objective is to provide the conceptual tools for understanding and analysing the policy process.
The lessons will be split in two parts: general introduction and empirical application.
The first part will introduce the basic concepts of the discipline, it will give an overview of the definitions of “public policy” and will outline the various approaches to the study of public policies. Then, will be presented the main typologies of policies, the actors involved in their production, and the different stages that give rise to the policy making process: agenda setting, formulation, decision, implementation, evaluation. Lastly, will be discussed the national styles of policy making and the influence of international factors on them.
The second part, given the relevance of the automotive industry in Italy, will be devoted to the analysis of government policies relating to the automotive industry. Particular attention will be paid to the interaction between public and private actors in the definition of policies on the automotive industry and it will be shown (even by comparison with the experience of other major Western countries) as the incidence of domestic and international factors contributed the evolution of the Italian policy style in the automotive industry.

"Eligere," in Latin, means "to choose." Elections, in a broad sense, are "institutionalized procedures for the choice of representatives selected from some or all recognized members of an organization" (according to a concise and effective definition by Stein Rokkan).

In the political field, 'institutionalised procedures' are currently based on the use of 'voting' to designate the holder of a monocratic office or the members of a collegiate body. Election, now almost everywhere by universal suffrage (direct or indirect), is the central institution of democratic political systems, a source of legitimization of what is defined as "representative government": which concretely realizes the statement of principle of "popular sovereignty". And votes (but it would often be preferable to define "plebiscites") are held, with the aim of confirming the current power structure, even in non-democratic political regimes.

The first part of the course focuses on the remote origins of the methods of attributing public offices or taking collective decisions, by drawing lots or acclamation, and in any case with limited recourse to the counting of votes, on the assumption of a (real or apparent) "unanimity" of the community, political or religious. And it reconstructs the troubled affirmation of the "majority principle", with the relevant contribution given, on the subject, by the evolution of canon law.

The "great bourgeois revolutions" (English, American and French) mark the starting point of the processes that, subsequently, over a period of about one hundred and fifty years, between the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries, have progressively produced the birth and development of an electoral legislation for the formation of parliaments and local administrative or consultative institutions, the enlargement of the electoral body, the improvement of techniques and organizational structures of voting; at the same time as the formation of party aggregations, within the elected assemblies or representatives of the social classes that required access.

From the second half of the Nineteenth century, moreover, the debate on the most appropriate methods to transform the preferences of voters into representative offices began: not only of the prevailing number of citizens; but, possibly, and as faithfully as possible, of the opinions of the various minority components, within social or territorial, national or local communities.

The central and predominant part of the course is focused the electoral systems in the strict sense. That concerns the procedures aimed at regulating the expression of the vote, the territorial areas of the competition, the conditions required by the rules to achieve the proclamation of the elected.

The course follows a technical classification criterion for large "families" of "electoral formulas" (inspired by majority, proportionalist or combinatorial principles - to varying degrees and effects - of the two previous ones), identifying, from time to time, the historical and theoretical motivations of their conception, and the actual conditions of application, adaptation and evolution, in relation to the changing contexts of political culture and institutional structuring.

This part concludes with an analysis of the legislation currently in force for the parliamentary (and possibly presidential) elections of some contemporary democracies.

Finally, ample and specific attention is given to the evolution of electoral legislation, both parliamentary and local, in Italy, from Unification to Fascism and Liberation to the present day; with particular attention devoted to themes and problems brought to the attention by attending students.

Purpose of the course and articulation of the program
The course proposes the study of the private law of the public administration, offering a general framework of the administrative activity with particular reference to the obligations arising from the Public Administration, identifying the scope where it acts according to private law schemes, subject to the relative discipline, and also highlighting the particular profiles related to its nature.
The necessary premise consists of the distinction between public law and private law as well as between public entities, in charge of the administrative function (and summarized as public administrations), which act for general interest purposes, and private subjects, which pursue viceversa interests details.
The investigation, in its general part, has as its object the activity of common law of the Public Administration, analyzing institutions and relationships in which the public administrations operate as subjects of common law: from private organizational forms, to the ownership of dominical rights, to the stipulation, instead of issuing administrative measures, negotiation with private parties, and finally civil liability for the injury of subjective legal situations pertaining to individuals.
The special part is dedicated to the civil responsibility of the PA, using the method of the study of cases on the basis of judgments issued by various judicial authorities (Constitutional Court, Council of State, TAR, Court of Cassation and ordinary Courts), which offer an opportunity to the examination of relevant issues, among which, for example, responsibility in the management of public services, indirect responsibility, responsibility for the provision of health services, responsibility for the illegitimate exercise of administrative power.

The course provides the critical notions and tools for the study of the political history of the so-called "century of nationalities", indispensable for the understanding of contemporary Europe. It illustrates the establishment or reconstitution of the nation states in Central and Eastern Europe and the unification process of Germany and Italy. The analysis will embrace the whole "long nineteenth century" (from the French Revolution to the outbreak of the First World War).
Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of the revolutions of 1848, as well as to their premises and consequences. Necessary introduction to this analysis will be the discussion of the movements of "national rebirth" of a good part of the European peoples. Finally, the unification of Germany and Italy and the establishment of national states in Central and Eastern Europe will be addressed following the progressive crisis and then the collapse of the system of the great multiethnic empires (Austrian, Russian and Ottoman). The use of a comparative method will be continuous in order to find out common features of several national histories but also the peculiarities that differentiate them.

The course proposes the study of the private law of the public administration, offering a general framework of the administrative activity with particular reference to the obligations arising from the Public Administration, identifying the scope where it acts according to private law schemes, subject to the relative discipline, and also highlighting the particular profiles related to its nature.
The necessary premise consists of the distinction between public law and private law as well as between public entities, in charge of the administrative function (and summarized as public administrations), which act for general interest purposes, and private subjects, which pursue viceversa interests details.
The investigation, in its general part, has as its object the activity of common law of the Public Administration, analyzing institutions and relationships in which the public administrations operate as subjects of common law: from private organizational forms, to the ownership of dominical rights, to the stipulation, instead of issuing administrative measures, negotiation with private parties, and finally civil liability for the injury of subjective legal situations pertaining to individuals.
The special part is dedicated to the civil responsibility of the PA, using the method of the study of cases on the basis of judgments issued by various judicial authorities (Constitutional Court, Council of State, TAR, Court of Cassation and ordinary Courts), which offer an opportunity to the examination of relevant issues, among which, for example, responsibility in the management of public services, indirect responsibility, responsibility for the provision of health services, responsibility for the illegitimate exercise of administrative power.

The course will investigate the relation between law and social change in the present time, and in the theoretical and empirical foundation processes of the modern State. It will provide both the tools necessary for understanding emerging problems, and conceptual tools related to critical thinking and gender studies, together with the classic themes of the socio-legal thought.
The course will develop through two modules. The former will inquire into the theoretical bases that authors and foundational themes provide to the discipline, with regard both to the legal culture and the institutions aimed at managing social deviant behaviours (Luhmann; Habermas; Bourdieu; Foucault; Canetti; the approach of Critical Legal Studies, of Law and Economics, and the approach that investigates the relation between law and gender studies).
The second module will offer more specific tools, i.e. the analysis of the symbolic, cultural and legal function of the contribution of feminist studies in relation to law, deviance and power. In particular, the relationship between the Thought of Sexual Difference and the doctrine of Juridical Experience will be investigated, both at a theoretical level and in the practices carried out in trials, as well as the concept of “Juridical Feminism” applied to the main themes of the present time: equality/difference; citizenship/borders; criminology/delinquency/security; justice/law/rights; gender/sexuality/reproduction; victim/victimology/vulnerability.

The course provides the critical notions and tools for the study of the political history of the so-called "century of nationalities", indispensable for the understanding of contemporary Europe. It illustrates the establishment or reconstitution of the nation states in Central and Eastern Europe and the unification process of Germany and Italy. The analysis will embrace the whole "long nineteenth century" (from the French Revolution to the outbreak of the First World War).
Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of the revolutions of 1848, as well as to their premises and consequences. Necessary introduction to this analysis will be the discussion of the movements of "national rebirth" of a good part of the European peoples. Finally, the unification of Germany and Italy and the establishment of national states in Central and Eastern Europe will be addressed following the progressive crisis and then the collapse of the system of the great multiethnic empires (Austrian, Russian and Ottoman). The use of a comparative method will be continuous in order to find out common features of several national histories but also the peculiarities that differentiate them.
