Course syllabus
The program provides the study of sustainable development as the guiding principle of administrative action, aimed to satisfy the needs of the present generation, without compromising the possibility of the future generations to be able to satisfy their own (Brundtland Report).
In particular, the course will deal with the regulatory tools and policies through which public administration can orientate their own and the citizens' actions towards the production of social and environmental value.
After discussing the various possible meanings of the expression "sustainable development", the most relevant national and international norms on the topic will be examined.
Subsequently, the main methods of administrative application of the concept will be debated, also through the study of practical cases.
