- The course aims to introduce students to the basic concepts of sociology and the main sociological

theories as tools for a critical analysis of social reality. A specific attention will be paid to the phenomenon of poverty,

marginalization and social exclusion in contemporary societies.

- To provide students with knowledge and conceptual tools useful to analyze contemporary social change.


M-Z
1) TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO THE MAIN SOCIOLOGICAL CONCEPTS, THEORIES AND MODELS. IN PARTICULAR, THE RELATION BETWEEN SOCIETY, SOCIAL SUBJECTS, TECHNOLOGY AND CAPITALISM IS THE FOCUS OF THE COURSE.

2) TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND CONCEPTUAL TOOLS USEFUL TO ANALYZE CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL CHANGE.

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.

The course aims to provide an overview of sources of law, organization of public powers, the organs of the State, the European Union, Regional and Local Government. It is also proposed to introduce and analyze the legislation for the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.

The course gives basic information about the formation of the contemporary world and its main cultural, economic, institutional, political and social transformations. Through repeated use of complex and critical knowledge, students will be introduced to a better comprehension of the roots of today global society.

Students must have a previous good knowledge of the events of contemporary history from 1815 to the present.

Being able to produce, interpret and communicate data in a social science framework. Being able to able appropriately with data variability and uncertainty.

FORNIRE UNA PREPARAZIONE DI BASE SUI PRINCIPALI CONCETTI, TEORIE E MODELLI ATTRAVERSO I QUALI LA SOCIOLOGIA HA FORMULATO LA PROPRIA PARTICOLARE ELABORAZIONE SCIENTIFICA DELLA REALTÀ SOCIALE, CON PARTICOLARE RIFERIMENTO ALL’IDEA DI SOCIETÀ, SOGGETTO, TECNOLOGIA E CAPITALISMO.

DOTARE GLI STUDENTI DELLE CATEGORIE CONCETTUALI E DELL’HABITUS MENTALE PER COMPRENDERE SITUAZIONI SOCIALI COMPLESSE E PER ORIENTARSI ADEGUATAMENTE NELLA REALTÀ SOCIALE E CULTURALE CONTEMPORANEA.

TRASFERIRE COMPETENZE E ABILITÀ DI UTILIZZO DI METODOLOGIE, CATEGORIE E MODELLI SOCIOLOGICI PER L’ANALISI DEI PROCESSI DI TRASFORMAZIONE SOCIALE E CULTURALE, DELLE DINAMICHE ORGANIZZATIVE E DI GRUPPO E PER L’ANALISI COMPARATA DI FENOMENI E PROCESSI SOCIALI A VARI LIVELLI, LOCALI, NAZIONALI, COMUNITARI, INTERNAZIONALI.

LA DISCIPLINA SI PROPONE COME MOMENTO DI RIFLESSIONE PER DELINEARE UNA ‘STORIA DELLE IDEE’, INTESE COME DIRETTRICI DI FORZA IN GRADO DI ORIENTARE LE TRASFORMAZIONI SOCIALI E DETERMINARE I MUTAMENTI POLITICI. NEL CORSO DEL TEMPO GLI STUDI DI STORIA DELLE DOTTRINE POLITICHE SI SONO PROGRESSIVAMENTE SPOSTATI DALL’INDAGINE DELLE ISTITUZIONI ALLA SOCIETÀ, DALL’ANALISI DEI SISTEMI E DELLA DIMENSIONE FORMALE DEL POTERE, ALLO STUDIO DELLE IDEOLOGIE E DELLE MENTALITÀ. IN QUEST’OTTICA IL CORSO SI PROPONE D’OFFRIRE STRUMENTI ANALITICI ED INTERPRETATIVI FINALIZZATI A FAR ACQUISIRE AGLI STUDENTI – OLTRE AD UNA PREPARAZIONE DI BASE, A CARATTERE PIÙ GENERALE, RELATIVA ALLA CONOSCENZA DELLA STORIA DEL PENSIERO POLITICO NELLE SUE LINEE FONDAMENTALI – UN METODO DI RICERCA CHE, PARTENDO DALL’ESAME DIRETTO DEI TESTI E DELLE FONTI DOCUMENTARIE, TENDA, PUR NELLA SPECIFICITÀ METODOLOGICA DELLA MATERIA, A CORRELARSI CON LE ALTRE DIMENSIONI DEL SAPERE, DI CUI LA DIMENSIONE POLITICA PUÒ COSTITUIRE IL MOMENTO UNIFICANTE.

LA RIFLESSIONE SULLA POLITICA SI IMPONE ALL’INIZIO SOPRATTUTTO COME STUDIO DEL

POTERE. I PROBLEMI DELL’ACQUISIZIONE, UTILIZZAZIONE, CONCENTRAZIONE/DISTRIBUZIONE,

LEGITTIMITÀ DELL’ESERCIZIO DEL POTERE SONO I GRANDI TEMI SUI QUALI SI

SOFFERMA L’INTERESSE DEGLI STUDIOSI DI POLITICA DA ARISTOTELE FINO A MACHIAVELLI,

MONTESQUIEU, MOSCA, WEBER E I CONTEMPORANEI. PARTITA DA QUESTI PRESUPPOSTI

TEORICI, LA SCIENZA POLITICA SI IMPONE POI COME LO STUDIO E LA RICERCA

SUI DIVERSI ASPETTI DELLA REALTÀ POLITICA ATTRAVERSO IL METODO DELLE SCIENZE

EMPIRICHE. AL DI LÀ DELLE VARIE METODOLOGIE (COMPARAZIONE, STUDIO DEL CASO

SINGOLO) E DEI VARI APPROCCI (RATIONAL CHOICE, NEO-ISTITUZIONALISMO E ALTRI), AL

CENTRO DELL’INTERESSE DELLA SCIENZA POLITICA STA IL TENTATIVO DI SPIEGARE I

FENOMENI E I PROCESSI DELLA POLITICA, SIA NELLA SUA DIMENSIONE INTERNA CHE

IN QUELLA INTERNAZIONALE E SOVRASTATALE. SU QUESTE PREMESSE, IL CORSO HA

PER OGGETTO L’ILLUSTRAZIONE E L’ANALISI DEI PRINCIPALI CONCETTI, PROBLEMI E TEORIE

AFFRONTATI DALLA SCIENZA POLITICA CONTEMPORANEA.

LA POLITICA ECONOMICA ANALIZZA I COMPORTAMENTI DELLE ISTITUZIONI ECONOMICHE E FINANZIARIE INTERNE, COME IL MERCATO, LO STATO,LA BANCA CENTRALE, CON RIFERIMENTO ALL’EFFICACIA DELLE POLITICHE MICRO E MACROECONOMICHE. TRA LE PRIME, IN PARTICOLARE, QUELLE RIGUARDANTI LA CONCORRENZA E I MERCATI, LE AREE DEPRESSE E LE POLITICHE INDUSTRIALI. TRA LE SECONDE, LE POLITICHE MONETARIE, FISCALI, VALUTARIE E DEI REDDITI, SIA NELL’AMBITO DEL MODELLO KEYNESIANO CHE DI QUELLO CLASSICO DI PIENO IMPIEGO, SIA IN ECONOMIA CHIUSA CHE IN ECONOMIA APERTA. PER QUANTO RIGUARDA GLI OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI, IL CORSO DI POLITICA ECONOMICA DI 6 CFU ANALIZZA I FALLIMENTI MICRO E MACRO DEL MERCATO E DEL “NON MERCATO” E I TRADE-OFFS, IN PARTICOLARE QUELLI TRA STATO E MERCATO, TRA DISOCCUPAZIONE E INFLAZIONE , TRA CRESCITA ECONOMICA E DISTRIBUZIONE DEL REDDITO E TRA CRESCITA ECONOMICA ED EQUILIBRIO DELLA BILANCIA DEI PAGAMENTI. A QUESTI OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI SI AGGIUNGE, NEL CORSO ESTESO DI 8 CFU, LA TRATTAZIONE DELLE POLITICHE PER IL RIEQUILIBRIO DELLA BILANCIA DEI PAGAMENTI. LA CONOSCENZA DI TUTTI QUESTI TEMI, E UNA FAMILIARITÀ CON LA STRUTTURA DEL PROCESSO DECISIONALE COSTITUISCONO I REQUISITI ESSENZIALI PER AFFRONTARE I DIVERSI PROFILI DELLA POLITICA ECONOMICA NELLA REALTÀ ODIERNA.
