Course Objectives

The course aims at exploring the transformation of the classic features of constitutional law due to three concurring elements
  • The increasing supranational integration.
  • The changing role of international law and its penetration into domestic legal system.
  • The impact of economic and judicial globalization on the domestic arena.
Students are introduced to how 20th century constitutionalism has affected large part of well-established and old-fashioned legal categories such as principles, rights and sovereignty.
The course brings to light, touching upon some fundamental legal categories, how the constitutionalism has changed as a consequence of the increasing relevance of transnational relationships, while regional and international institutions have progressively expanded their role.
