Learning objectives
The course in "Comparative Human Rights Protection" aims to provide students the legal instruments needed to analyse fundamental rights protection in different national experiences, through the comparative method. The approach adopted overcomes traditional dichotomies between private and public law, as well as among law, politics, history and sociology. The course is focused in particular on the influencing effects produced by multiculturalism -both at national and sub-regional level - on rules as well as on legal institutions.
Expected learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding. The course is expected to provide students basic notions on protection of rights, focusing in particular on European and Latin American experiences, both in a synchronic and diachronic perspective. Fundamental rights are considered also though a supranational approach/in the supranational dimension in order to facilitate their understanding in a wider perspective and in the context of regional integration dynamics.

Applying knowledge and understanding: Students will acquire cultural, methodological and specific competences (direct teaching) and they will strengthen communication skills (flipped classrooms) in order to develop a deep understanding of fundamental rights and liberties, as well as of specific rights (privacy, family law, consumer protection etc.) in the supranational dimension. Furthermore, specific knowledge acquired through theoretical lessons, as well as through the analysis of case-studies, will be oriented to develop students' ability to provide a critical analysis and an autonomous evaluation of complex phenomena.
