8011553 - LEGAL TRADITIONS AND COMPARATIVE LAW (obiettivi) The course provides an introduction to the study of law. Through a comparative approach, the course deals with the legal systems of the World and the system of sources of law, the private and public law fundamental institutions in the western World, the constitutional framework of democratic political systems and the patterns of protection of human rights in the national and supranational scenario. The Course is divided into three modules: - 1st Module, Introduction to the Legal Systems, 4 CFU The course will provide an introduction to the principles, categories, institutions and vocabulary of law. The comparative approach is aimed at providing awareness of the diversity existing in the legal traditions of the World, as well as of the relationships existing between legal systems, history and culture. - 2nd Module, Comparative Constitutional Law, 4 CFU The course analyzes the origins, the goals and the development of western constitutionalism, as well as the structure and the transformations of the constitutional law of the western World. - 3rd Module, Introduction to Human Rights and Social Justice, 4 CFU Student will learn how the theory and concept of “justice” – both substantive and procedural – merges with practice to provide the core skills necessary to become an effective and thoughtful human rights advocates. Advocates from around the world widely employ human rights norms and discourse in their struggle for social justice. Introduction to Human Rights and Social Justice will introduce the concepts, issues and methodologies that underlie human rights work. This course explores ideas about how to make human rights issues more relevant in global governance. We will introduce human rights and justice issues in the field of international law and organizations, examining the history of ideas and legal doctrines; institutional and administrative structures developed over the last century. The course will offer perspectives and training on a variety of skills relevant to the work of human rights advocates. Students will work on skills modules of Common/Civil and Sharia law; fact-finding, negotiation, coalition-building, and community-based advocacy.	12	IUS/09	72	-	-	-	Attività formative di base	ENG
8011554 - GLOBAL ECONOMICS (obiettivi) The course aims at stimulating students to analyze and critically evaluate the main global economic issues and their impact on individuals, companies and public institutions. A non-exhaustive list of the topics covered in the course includes: competitive markets and market failures, national and transnational production, labor market and migration, international trade, growth, inflation, money and finance, macro and microeconomic policy. A wide variety of formal and practical teaching techniques and material will be used, with a strong emphasis on the interaction between teachers and students in class.	9	SECS-P/01	54	-	-	-	Attività formative di base	ENG
8011701 - CALCULUS (obiettivi) One of the things we learned from 20th century is that complex phenomena arising from social and life sciences cannot be deeply analyzed and understood unless we make use of the universal language of mathematics. This goes back to Galileo's intuition that universe be written in mathematical symbols, a principle nowadays applied to human sciences as well as to natural ones. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to those basic notions in mathematics which are essential to describe, understand and analyze possibly different models of quantitative phenomena. Main concepts and tools of differential and integral calculus are taught in order that students become familiar with functions of real variables, notions of growth, limits, rate of change, optimization, time evolution, all of them being necessary to approach mathematical models in applied sciences as well as to pursue further studies in probability and statistics. Students are expected to learn the main concepts, to practice with basic tools of calculus and to understand the use of mathematical language in applied models of real life.	12	MAT/05	72	-	-	-	Attività formative affini ed integrative	ENG

8011337 - HISTORY AND CIVILIZATION (obiettivi) This course analyzes major political, cultural and social developments in Europe and between Europe and the rest of the world, from the late eighteenth century to the beginning of the twenty first century. It will consider the ways in which European countries intersected processes of nation-building with imperial expansion in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Particular attention will be devoted to the global processes of circulation and construction of knowledge in the field of science. The course will treat the age of world wars in the first half of the twentieth century from the standpoint of global history. Then it will analyze how Europe’s place in the world was redefined by the Cold War and by decolonization after 1945. The last part of the course will examine how Europe and European identity have changed after the end of the Cold War and in the context of recent globalization. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the main events and interpretations of European and international history. The course will adopt an approach in terms of global history to the study of its subject matter. It will intersect an analysis of international/transnational history with an attention to culture, knowledge, everyday life, gender and race. It will combine lectures with readings, films and discussion, and will analyze a variety of primary sources, such as novels, newspaper articles, state documents, advertisements and documentaries. Students are expected to attend every class and come prepared for discussion.	12	M-STO/04	72	-	-	-	Attività formative di base	ENG
8011376 - NATURAL DISASTERS PREVENTION AND REACTION (obiettivi) The occurrence of extreme events is increasing around the world, causing significant human suffering and socio-economic on developm ent and growth. To the known natural events such as earthquakes, floods, landslides etc. we now have to add the impact of climate change. These events interact with demographic shift, rapid urbanization, inadequate management of natural resource, etc. to increase the risk in our societies. The combina tion of these factors is unique to each country/city. Many cities and countries need thus to develop their own, tailored disaster risk management (DRM) strategies. The course takes a systemic approach to DRM and is structured around 3 modules, aiming to: - Develop an understanding of disaster risk management concepts, terminology and dynamics; - Provide a detailed overvie w of various DRM strategies including sample/ case studies; - Build up capacity to integrate DRM strategies into various field of interest.	6	ICAR/09	36	-	-	-	Attività formative affini ed integrative	ENG
8011605 - FOUNDATIONS OF EUROPEAN THOUGHT (obiettivi) TThe course aims at providing students with a common background about the origin and development of the most important features peculiar to European thought, and at giving them the intellectual instruments to understand the issues which make Europe different from, or similar to, other cultures. Students will gain knowledge of the foundations and conceptual base of western political systems (democracy), science, law, philosophy, ethics, and other issues, in their mutual relation.	6	SPS/01	36	-	-	-	Attività formative caratterizzanti	ENG

8011560 - GLOBAL LAW (obiettivi) The Course is divided into two Modules (International Law and Contemporary Challenges and Global Administrative Law). It focuses on the logics, dynamics and challenges of what can be called “global law”. In particular, the 1st Module of the Course aims to provide students with the knowledge of the basic elements of modern international law, with particular reference to subjects and legal sources, the United Nations collective security system, the State responsibility and disputes resolution. The 2nd module focuses on the rise of global administration, on the emergence of administrative law mechanisms beyond the State and on transnational regulation. This course focuses on the logics, dynamics, and challenges of what can be called “global law”. “Global law” refers to a situation in which: (1) relationships between the interests of individuals and public authorities are influenced or governed by multiple normative systems (from informal social norms to law, from specific rules to the general principles of law), with the consequence that such systems co-exist and compete with one another within the same territory or domain of activity; or (2) two or more systems of governance – such as the courts of different legal orders – claim authority over the same domain of activity. Topics include: the criteria governing the expropriation of aliens; due process of law in regulatory and adjudicatory procedures; the tensions between custom, state law, and human rights in developing countries; and the ways in which the pluralist structure of international treaty law and organization are transforming law and courts at the national level.	12	IUS/13	72	-	-	-	Attività formative caratterizzanti	ENG
8011582 - STATISTICAL TOOLS FOR DECISION-MAKING (obiettivi) The course provides the basics of descriptive statistics and statistical inference, highlighting the potential applications in political, economic and social sciences.	9	SECS-S/01	54	-	-	-	Attività formative di base	ENG
8011667 - POLITICAL SYSTEMS (obiettivi) This course is an introduction to the comparative study of politics. It aims at familiarizing students with the main concepts of political science such as government, state, nation, democracy, democratization and so on. With a special focus on the evolution and the diversity of political situations and attention to not only national but also local and global scales, we will compare and contrast the political regimes of various countries of the world, the roles of key political actors, political institutions, political processes and patterns of political competition. We will be particularly interested in Asian countries. The main objective for this course is to provide students with the broad context needed for analyzing the political phenomena of any country and understand the main criteria and tools used to compare and rank countries in the world, as well as what we mean by democracy, what makes a non-democracy become more democratic, what makes a stable democracy and so on.	6	SPS/11	36	-	-	-	Attività formative caratterizzanti	ENG
8011568 - ANTHROPOLOGY OF GLOBALISATION (obiettivi) This course is a study of present Rome, its cultural complexity and diversity. It offers the students local perspectives on globalization as it offers global perspectives on the city of Rome. The intertwined processes of globalization and localization will be addressed via an in-depth study of Rome and the social, cultural, political, demographic and economic transformations the city is currently going through. From a more general perspective, the course will introduce the concept of “global cities” and discuss global city theory. The course will introduce Rome via a diversity of topical prisms: immigration, neighborhood formations, ethnicity, tourism, popular culture, youth culture, religious identities, food and identity, etc. The course has an explicit aim to force students to recognize and valorize local particularities in a globalizing world, but also to understand these particularities less as relics of the past for the tourist to gaze at, and more like dynamic and ongoing adaptations to the centrifugal forces of globalization. Within this general frame, the course aims at training students to watch at Rome not only as an immobile city with a cherished past, but also a vivid location going towards its future. In this respect a secondary aim of the course is to allow students to critically assess the economic theory of the global city and to integrate it with a more complex perspective based not only on economics, but also on political science, sociology and cultural anthropology, since cultural aspects of globalization are central to a city like Rome and more relevant to its current development than strictly economic factors. The student will be asked to think about his or her own cultural backgrounds, to develop an analytic stance toward identity and power in the world today, to compare Rome to other urban settings in the World, and to learnedly discuss the global and local forces that shape his/her own life. Pre-requisites for the course: none.	6	M-DEA/01	36	-	-	-	Attività formative affini ed integrative	ENG

8011666 - INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (obiettivi) The course of International Relations is divided into three Modules: First module: Foreign Policy: an Introduction (Amb. A. Meloni) - 4 CFU Second module: International Development (Prof. M.Carbone) - 6 CFU Third module: The EU in the World (Prof. F.Bindi) – 2 CFU Foreign policy: An Introduction The course is divided into four sections. First, the role of various actors intervening in framing foreign policy will be discussed: state/non state actors, different levels of government within the state, transnational actors. A brief overview of the main theories on International Relations will follow. The second section is devoted to the role of international organizations on the practice of foreign policy and international cooperation and to some specific aspects as decision-making procedures, questions relating to compliance, rules-setting, common response to crisis. In the third section, six cases will be examined, five relating to different kind of crisis and one to a highly complex multilateral agreement, where the concepts dealt with in section one and two can be usefully verified. The last section will provide an opportunity to discuss some of the future issues on globalisation and security. International Development This module analyses the interaction between industrialised and developing countries in the context of the changing system of international relations. To do so, it will explore the main strategies adopted by the international community to tackle global inequalities, the different types of financial assistance made available for developing countries, the link between foreign aid and other development-related policies (e.g. trade, security and migration), and the impact of international organisations, emerging economies, multinational corporations and civil society in North-South relations. The main aims of this module are to: · discuss different understandings and measurements of development and global inequality; · analyse the main theories in the field of International Relations and Development; · show how the global architecture for development has evolved over the past six decades; · understand why and how traditional and emerging donors give foreign aid; · investigate the role of selected international organisations (e.g. United Nations, World Bank, World Trade Organization) and civil society actors (both in the North and in the South) in the promotion of international development; · explore the impact of selected policies of industrialised and emerging economies (e.g. trade, security and migration) on the economic and social development of developing countries. The EU in the World This course aims to give students the knowledge and tools to understand, analyze, and make informed projections about what is happening in Europe today – both at the national and EU levels. It is impossible to understand Europe today without including in the analysis two variables: history and the European Union. The course is roughly broken into two parts.	12	SPS/04	72	-	-	-	Attività formative caratterizzanti	ENG
8011663 - PLANTS AND ENVIRONMENT (obiettivi) The course is divided into two sections. The first section consists of classes held by doct. A. Travaglini (University of Rome – Tor Vergata); the second section is held as a seminar by doct. D. Klingenfeld (PhD), Head of the Director’s Staff at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). First Section (Doct. A. Travaglini) Course Description Our planet is quickly changing, and our climate is also changing. In the last decades the human population has increased and so has its need for energy, food and space. Can plants help us? How? This course deals with the relationship between climate and plants, as well as the risk and the consequences due to climate change on vegetation and flora. The course considers possible strategies and innovative methodologies and policies. It aims to provide students with a fundamental knowledge of the dynamics of biological life and its relationship with the human presence on earth. Schedule of Topics: Climate on Earth, climate distribution on Earth: causes of distribution; tropical evergreen forest, tropical deciduous forest; temperate evergreen forest, mixed wood; boreal wood, grasslands and steppe; tundra, desert and barren land; climate change. Teaching Method The course is carried out through lectures and power point presentations. Students are required to prepare short presentations on different topics. Each presentation in class is followed by discussion. Possible field visit to a farm. Addressing the Challenge of Climate Change - Addressing the Challenge of Climate Change -Doct. D. Klingenfeld) The course begins with an outline of the science of climate change and climate impacts in relation to future emissions scenarios. Mitigation of climate change and adaptation to climate impacts are explored as key response strategies. An analysis of the political framework conditions on the international, European, and select national levels is complemented by a discussion of bottom-up initiatives of civil society to confine climate change and its impacts. Teaching Method The topic space is explored in a lecture format on 4-5 April. At the end of day 2 of the lecture, students form teams of 4-5 people to work on an in-depth analysis of a question covering one of the topics presented. The results will be presented and discussed in class on 18-19 April and a written report turned in by each team. Each student is expected to write about 1.200-1.500 words and individual contributions should be specified.	6	BIO/02	36	-	-	-	Attività formative affini ed integrative	ENG
8011812 - GLOBAL MANAGEMENT (obiettivi) TThe Course is divided into two Modules: International Corporate Management and Global Public Management). The International Corporate Management module of this course is designed to provide participants with a basic understanding of financial accounting. Specific attention will be devoted to the preparation, analysis and interpretation of financial information and financial statements. The focus will be on the four financial statements used by external stakeholders for decision making purposes. By the end of this module, students should feel comfortable with reading a company's annual report and be able to make comparisons with other firms across different time periods. Public management has been part of the globalization process as attested by public sector reform models such as the New Public Management in the late 1980s and Public Governance in the early 1990s that have affected, although with different pace and approaches, almost every country in the world. In developed countries, the mid-1970s crisis stimulated an international conversation, led by the OECD Public management Committee that public sector reform should be a policy field in its own right. In developing countries, development organizations such as the UNDP and the World Bank realized that economic performance depended on an effective and efficient public sector and adopted and promoted the New Public Management model as well. Finally, also post-communism countries joined the managerial wave of modernization. While the current global economic crisis has highlighted the fact once again that economic performance hinges on an effective public sector, models of reform have changed shifting from market-type mechanisms to networked approaches. The course examines both the theoretical frameworks underlying public sector reforms in the past thirty years and the empirical evidence gathered so far. Particular emphasis will be put on the role of international institutions and on the context-dependency issue by examining the dynamics of “policy transfer” and “policy diffusion” and the spread of so-called “best practices”. Issues addressed during the course refer to the way in which globalization affects structure and purpose of governments, administrative reforms implemented to respond to globalization and their impact. Emerging theories guiding public management at the global level will also be discussed such as networks and public-private partnerships, co-production and open innovation. Finally, the potential contribution of strategic foresight in public management will be discussed, as an approach able to overcome the main weaknesses of the previous modernization attempts.
M-5305 - GLOBAL PUBLIC MANAGEMENT (obiettivi) The Global Management course is designed to provide an introduction to management principles and techniques adopted by sustainable and effective private, public and non-profit organizations operating at the global level. It aims at enhancing students’ leadership and managerial competencies.

8011669 - COMPARATIVE BUSINESS HISTORY (obiettivi) The course deals with world economic and business history since the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century. It is organized as a sort of journey around the world, surfing across the two main historical dimensions of time and space. Based on an institutional approach, it will compare the varieties of capitalism of the different regions, considering State and firm as main actors of the analysed processes. The years 1945-2000 will be analysed in the context of the European integration process and of globalization. Specific case-studies will be the object of in-depth focuses, brought into with the active participation of the students. At the end of the course students will have acquired knowledge and critical understanding of the main issues of contemporary economic history.	6	SECS-P/12	36	-	-	-	Attività formative affini ed integrative	ENG
8011664 - GLOBAL SOCIETY AND NEW MEDIA (obiettivi) The purpose of this course is to study the main contemporary theories of justice, namely, utilitarianism, libertarianism, political liberalism, communitarianism and cosmopolitanism which find their roots in the political philosophies of Aristotle, Locke, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Bentham and Mill. The current political debate in the Western democracies largely reflects these theories and views although the main actors involved do not always have full awareness of it. In the final part of the course we will focus on the growing disparities in economic well-being which have characterized several advanced economies in the last decades. In particolar we will make a critical analysis of the traditional efficiency/equality trade off and why we should care about inequality within and between countries.	6	SPS/07	36	-	-	-	Attività formative caratterizzanti	ENG

8011665 - CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AND NEGOTIATIONS (obiettivi) Course aim is to develop a cognitive approach apt to promptly understand and elaborate on leadership issues, starting from small group dynamics up to the strategic leadership level, key for governance of complex systems. Leadership is a vital function of the collective action. It has originated in the ancestral human groups and was molded by hunting and survival needs. The basic leadership mechanisms are hence related to the small group and are largely based on emotional interactions. The need to extend leadership from the small group to complex organizations gives way to great challenges, still very often unresolved. Such extension demands specific cultural and cognitive skills, needed especially for leaders at the strategic level, who must operate on ample domains, up to far away time horizons, with great value at stake. The course will therefore touch upon small group leadership, useful to lead at the supervisory level and base of the dynamics of the collective action, to expand to complex organization dynamics and to strategic level leadership, with special reference to the strategic thinking needed in our volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous and rapidly changing world.	6	M-PSI/05	36	-	-	-	Attività formative caratterizzanti	ENG

8011825 - INTRODUCTION TO CIVIL AND COMMON LAW (obiettivi) The Course is divided in two Modules, as follows - Civil Law The course deals with the civilian tradition of European law, and will be concentrated on the idea of contract in Roman law and in Civil law. - Common Common This part of the course will deal (1) with the common law tradition of European law (with a particular emphasis on mentality, reasoning and methods) and (2) with the notion of contract in the English common law tradition law (in comparison to the private law in the civil law tradition).	6	IUS/02	36	-	-	-		ENG
8010827 - INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS (obiettivi) The aim of the course is to enable the students to interpret the main developments in the international economy, using the basic tools of the theory of international trade and of international monetary economics, as well as the knowledge of basic facts and institutions. The first half of the course deals with trade, the second with international money. The trade part provides the tools necessary for an analysis of the determinants, patterns and effects of international trade and direct investment and of government trade policies. The monetary part builds on the concepts of macroeconomics of an “open” economy to discuss the determinants of exchange rates and the consequences of exchange rate policies for output and prices in the short and in the long run. A brief history of the international monetary system also explains the establishment of the single European currency.	6	SECS-P/01	36	-	-	-		ENG
8011700 - FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS (obiettivi) The course deals with the fundamental rights in a comparative law approach: after a general overview on the historical development of the fundamental rights in western constitutionalism, and a general classification of the main legal categories in use in this field, the course focuses on four main areas of interest. A first group of lectures will regard the Courts (constitutional, supreme, supranational), and their role in the protection of fundamental rights, both in national as well as in supranational scenario. Then, substantive issues related to the protection to fundamental rights in contemporary years will be analysed: media laws, tools of protection of minorities and the principle of non-discrimination; the European criminal law. In dealing with all these topics, professors will take into consideration national and supranational law, case-law and theoretical analysis.	6	IUS/21	36	-	-	-		ENG
8011709 - ROME: ART AND HISTORY OPENAIR (obiettivi) The course analyzes the history of Rome and its most important sites and buildings from the Ancient Rome to nowadays, with particular attention to the urban context, architects and master builders, the building techniques and the patrons from the prominent roman families. Emphasizing the direct acquaintance of artifacts, the course adopts the en plein air approach: all the lectures are going to take place outdoors, within the city of Rome, through four thematic itineraries. Each course (36 hours) will focus on one of these itineraries. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the beauties of the history of Rome, in which every new urban ‘layer’ doesn’t erase the previous one and in which the symbolic and immanent contents constantly compete with the physic appearance of the buildings. The visits to the sites, palaces and churches will open up the stories of the Emperors, Popes, Cardinals, noble families, architects and artists who created “the Aeternal city”. To enrich each itinerary the course proposes visits outside Rome (Villa Mondragone near Frascati, Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia, Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola) and meetings with prominent romans artists and architects (Massimo Catalani, Giorgio de Finis, Massimo Alvisi & Junko Kirimoto etc.)	6	ICAR/18	36	-	-	-		ENG
8011805 - MIGRATION AND MOBILITY (obiettivi) This course offers the students theoretical and practical tools to understand and analyze the current phenomenon of international migration from a multilateral perspective, that is to say from a European (especially Italian) and African point of view. International migration from Africa towards Europe represent today a crucial issue for the production of new discourses on global/local governance of the fluxes, but is also perceived as a generic ‘threat’, giving rise to the production of stereotypes and the constant resorting to the security issue. Italy has become a central node of migration experience especially in the last decade, shifting from being a country of sole transit to becoming a place of settling. The course will address the current paradigm of ‘forced’ and ‘voluntary’ migration in a critical way, by analyzing the European Agenda towards migration, the Italian practices and policies, and the current condition of migrants/refugees/asylum seekers in Italy. The aim of the course is to encourage a balanced approach to the issues of mobility and migration in Europe and Africa by operating critical reviews of dominant analytical paradigms, stressing the need to pay attention to the longue-durée in order to explain both structural (socio-political and economic contexts, State restructuring) and contingent processes (for example the current European Agenda towards migration, the diverse governance paradigms, the effects towards fluxes). At the same time, great attention will be given to contemporary readings and critical analysis on the phenomenon, by addressing new dynamics and the production of current feasible solutions through different actors (EU, local NGOs and voluntary organization, the Municipality of Rome, migrants’ associations).	6	M-DEA/01	36	-	-	-		ENG
8011806 - GENDER FLOWS (obiettivi) Over the last decades, migration has increased enormously, questioning existing national and international boundaries, and becoming a central feature of present-day globalization. Women constitute the majority of migrants, although the media and even scholars often define international migration as a mostly male phenomenon. This course will examine the multiple and complex ways in which current migration is gendered, as well as its historical roots, focusing on two macro areas: the Americas (in the first part of the course) and the Mediterranean region (in the second part). In the first part prof. Bini will examine the intersection between gender and migration in the Americas. She will adopt a long-term historical perspective to analyze the ways in which US migration policies have been gendered, and how different communities of migrants have defined their identities and rights throughout the 19th and 20th century, up to today. In the second part prof. Pepicelli will analyze migration flows in the Mediterranean highlighting gender and generations issues from an historical and sociological perspective. She will focus on mobilities from Middle East and North African countries and the increasing Muslim presence in Europe. The course will highlight the reasons why men and women decide to migrate, and how different gender systems are affected and transformed because of migration. Furthermore, it will analyze the different strategies put in place by women (as well as men) to cope with migration, and the forms of social and political activism they have pursued in various contexts. Some of the topics that will be addressed from a gender perspective include: migrants and refugees, children of migrations, citizenship, sexual policies, postcolonial literature, the intersection between migration and imperialism, Muslim migrations from the MENA region, the emergence of European Islam, Islam in Italy, Islamism and Jihadism in Europe. The course will be characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, and will bring together scholars and texts ranging from migration studies, gender studies, feminist theory, history, sociology, anthropology, Islamic studies, media and literary studies.	6	SPS/07	36	-	-	-		ENG
8011810 - GAME THEORY (obiettivi) These Lectures are meant to support the student with basic game-theoretic instruments helpful to absorb elementary oligopoly strategic theory in the absence of uncertainty (topics 1 to 5) and the study of decision theory under uncertainty and contract theory to stimulate the right incentives in principal-agent models like managers- shareholders (topics 6 to 10). Each model will be introduced by the study of equilibrium concepts and their intuition will be reinforced by inter-disciplinary examples.	6	SECS-P/01	36	-	-	-		ENG
