Course syllabus
The course, starting from the analysis of the progressive realization of the internal market, or rather from its different phases of evolution, will pay particular attention to its current overall configuration and to its possible future developments, also in consideration of the challenges that the European Union is facing: the withdrawal of a Member State, the economic-financial crisis, the important migratory phenomena, the emergency caused by the pandemic Covid 19, the consequences of the war between Russia and Ucraina. The notion of European citizenship will be introduced, together with the rights related to the status of citizen.
Each of the four fundamental freedoms of the internal market (the free circulation of people, goods, services and capital) will then be the subject of a thorough examination, in order to provide the student with the tools to understand the functioning of the internal market in the current economic context and juridical of Europe.
The study of the internal market will be conducted through the analysis of the relevant legislation (the rules of the Treaties, but also the specific instruments of secondary law), as well as through a thorough examination of the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, which has helped to outline the principles underpinning the functioning of the internal market and which still provides a fundamental tool for its understanding and its construction.
