The course is divided into two parts: a general part and a monographic part.
The aim of the general part is to provide a categorial apparatus allowing student to account for the complexity of the concept of law and for the
plurality of problems related to the forms of its individuation, knowledge and (judicial) application.
The aim of the monographic part is to stimulate a reflection (a) on the reasons, the forms and the phases that since the end of the Second World War have led to the gradual emergence of the legal model of constitutional state and of the political democracy based, the two of them, on the protection of fundamental rights, and (b) on the varieties of problems and difficulties which, since the end of the last century, increasingly challenge the implementation and the protection of fundamental rights and more generally the basic principles of the legal and political project of (inter)national constitutionalism.
