Learning objectives
The course aims at developing the legal framework governing basic goods as basic rights, deepening the meaning of "basic goods" in a national and comparative perspective moving from the analysis of the literature and the case law and focusing on the analysis of the legal tools designed to protect these basic goods. This is an ongoing issue especially because of the globalization and the growing migratory flows affecting the European countries and the North America.
At the end of the course the students will have an in-depth knowledge of the course topics. The students will also acquire a reasoning method suitable for dealing with more specific and complex legal issues.
