Course Objectives

The course aims at exploring the transformation of selected issues of constitutional law in light of the transnational context.
Students will be 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 will bring to light, going through various focuses, how the constitutional identity of states and even supranational entities has changed as a consequence of the global integration process, where regional and international institutions are expanding their role.
