Its first objective is to show the specific features of EU law. Another objective is to highlight the growing interaction of markets and public policies within the European legal space. Structure of the course The course has three parts, although there is not a clear-cut separation between them. In the first part of the class, we will consider the main features of the political project that inspired the first steps of European integration (the Schumann plan, the treaties of Paris and Rome), as well as some fundamental legal concepts, such as the single market and the European legal space. The second part of the course regards the economic constitution of the EU. In this context, the fundamental freedoms, competition, and the Economic and Monetary Union will be considered. The third part of the course regards the administrative law of the EU. In this context, we will not focus only on the rules governing the conduct of EU authorities. There will be a focus also on the general principles of law common to the legal orders of the Member States, which are included within the general principles of EC law, such as proportionality and due process of law. Course requirements As noted earlier, this is an advanced course, which presupposes at least some basic notions about EU law and policies. For every section of the course, some legal and political documents will be analysed and discussed. Participants are expected to read the materials before each class and to take part actively in the discussion. Some indications for further reading are given for those who wish to know more. As far as students assessment is concerned, one third will regard participation in class, another the short paper that students will be required to write during the course, and still another one the final exam.

2 Knowledge and Understanding The Course intends to provide students not only with a theoretical but also an analytical and practical knowledge on the European framework in the administrative and the commercial law field. Special emphasis is given to the relationship between European Institutions on one side, and private entities, both citizens and undertakings, on the other side. In the long run, the aim of the course is to give to students the most mature insight with regard to the relationships between undertakings and institutional players in the European Union in the framework of the European social market economy, followed by the most recent institutional and jurisprudential developments, so to strengthen what already learned during the first cycle and be able to apply these tools in an innovative way, also in research contexts. Syllabus includes a great variety of documents from diverse sources (treaty provisions, excerpts from secondary EU law, ECJ judgments, policy papers, Commission Communications, Statistics, working papers, selected articles from scientific EU-related journals and reviews). For each session students will have to read in advance the specific assignments for the relevant topic, in order to follow proactively classes. Applying Knowledge and Understanding The module adopts an innovative method, which will help students in understanding the relevant aspects of European integration and policies and to will give them the ability to apply their knowledge, in other situations and to actual work in the context of European Institutions and/or National and local public administrations subject to European directives and regulations. To ensure this, teaching activities will be carried on by the professor by assuring a strong role of students, which will be given in advance materials and readings (judgements, legislation as well as doctrine on the most debated issues). Students will be required to take active part to the discussion in class, by analysing cases and materials selected in advance and collected in the syllabus. Making Judgements The aim of the course is to provide students not only an understanding of this area of law, but also to raise their ability to subject it to critical legal and economic analysis. Lectures will be carried out with the active participation of students, which will be required to prepare each class in advance: documents (legislation, judgements, doctrine etc.) will be made available through the University website. Students will be required to prepare each class in advance using the materials included in the Reader and they will be encouraged to take active part to the discussions, which are the core of the lectures. Students will have the possibility to have an open and interactive discussion, improving their debating capacity and stimulating their critical vision on European issues. Debates in classes will be highly promoted and also simulation of

3 legal procedures with Administration as well as of judgments will be organised. The debating activities will also stimulate students critical thinking. The objective of the course is also to stimulate their independent judgment and capacity in problem solving and capacity to play an active role in the economy and in the society through a deep understanding of the decision making process as well as of the administrative activity. Communications Skills Lectures will be kept to the minimum and students will be encouraged to engage in discussion. They will be required to prepare each class in advance. Thanks to the innovative teaching method, students will enhance their communication and exhibition skills in English. Programme Learning Skills The course will give students competitive skills in the field of European law and policy, by providing the instruments and the fundamental models for the understanding of the European institutional system and the evaluation of the role played by undertakings. They will be provided with a dynamic knowledge of EU policies, thanks to a method which encourages the development of autonomous learning skills and research activities. The materials included in the Syllabus will make students familiar with EU-related documents and resources. Part I A new polity and its values 1.
