24

-oral examination -6 credits Course description: The course offers an analysis of one of the main institutions of modern politics: the parliament. In the first part of the course, the focus is on democratic parliamentary assemblies, examined in a comparative perspective. The aim is to sketch the variety of functions that parliaments play in contemporary democratic political systems, to point out their place in the institutional designs of these regimes, and to evaluate their contribution to the overall performance of the political system. The second part of the course puts the representative assemblies in a wider historical perspective – the perspective of historical political science. Starting from the premise that the structures of political representation, long before they spread across the world, were typically a west European phenomenon, it explores the conditions that favoured the creation of different forms of “parliaments” in the last centuries of the Middle Ages, and their evolution and their fate alongside the development of the modern nation state. Textbooks recommended: Readings will be provided during the lectures 30571 COMPARATIVE PUBLIC LAW -lecturer: Giovanni Cordini -e-mail: giovanni.cordini@unipv.it -40 hours -course language: Italian -2nd Semester -oral Examination -6 Credits Course description: The first part of the course deals with the historical aspects and constitutional order of State powers in a liberal, democratic political system, in the socialist State and in the authoritarian State. Forms of government in the contemporary democratic State are also taken into account. The second specialized part of the course proposes the application of comparative methods of study to Environmental Law, taking into account the laws and institutions of different countries. This second part will be organized in seminars with the direct and active participation of the students. Textbooks recommended: Students that attend the lectures:
