Course syllabus
The program will be divided into three modules.
The first module will be aimed at providing an in-depth knowledge of the institutional structure of the European Union. In particular, the following topics will be analyzed: European Union and European Community; the evolution of the European Union system (from the founding treaties to the Lisbon Treaty); principles of conferral, subsidiarity and proportionality; competences of the European Union; institutions, bodies and agencies (in particular, the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council, the European Commission and the European Central Bank, the Court of Justice of the European Union); protection of fundamental rights.
The second module will be dedicated to the study of the sources of European Union law and the relationship with domestic law and will focus on the following topics: hierarchy of sources; European Union acts (typology, characteristics and effects), relations between legal systems and the transposition of EU law into the Italian legal system.
The third module will be dedicated to the analysis of the more specific issues related to mountain areas. After an initial analysis of the indices and elements that distinguish mountain areas in the European Union, the module will focus on legal issues relating to the protection of the environment and the territory (the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda, the Green Deal, the directives mainly relevant to mountain areas), as well as to the Union's cohesion policy and the strategic use of European funds for the enhancement of these areas.
