Programma
The course analyses the theoretical foundations of legal comparison in the field of industrial relations, with a focus on the institutional models and the processes of workers' representation, collective action and collective bargaining. Taught in English, the course is articulated in two units, both professionalising and functional to the curricula of HR management and labour consultancy. Following an introduction to collective autonomy in the framework of legal pluralism, the first unit discusses the main comparative frameworks in the field of industrial relations, analysing the different degrees of formalisation and institutionalisation of industrial relations systems, the structures of collective bargaining, the different models of trade unionism and workers' representation. The second unit engages in the comparative analysis of relevant industrial relations cases. This comparative analysis will be developed historically and in relation to varieties of jurisdictions and sectoral systems of industrial relations, at both national and international level.
Prerequisiti
Knowledge of fundamental categories, institutions and institutes of labour law and trade unions law.
Metodi didattici
THIS ACADEMIC YEAR THE COURSE WILL NOT RUN DUE TO THE LIMITED NUMBER OF STUDENTS ENROLLED
The course will blend frontal lessons, student-led seminars, and student interaction with the lecturer. Frontal classes will be supported by the analysis of practical cases conducted with an active involvement of students and by seminars with social partners and firms. Lesson by lesson students will be invited to discuss a given topic in order to get prepared for the next class. This method helps students to know in advance the contents of each class, to more easily interact, ask for specific explanations, and finally present their personal work to the rest of the class.

Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
For attending students, learning is assessed during each class through methods of interaction. At the end of the course, an oral exam is envisaged for both attending and non-attending students. It will be structured in three questions concerning the course programme, in order to assess the learning outcomes. The evaluation criteria include the accuracy of the answers, the clarity in argumentation and the student's ability in technical analysis and in re-elaboration of the concepts learned. The evaluation will be expressed in thirtieth and, if relevant, the laude.
