The PhD in Public Law is divided into five curricula: Constitutional Law and General Public Law; Administrative law; Criminal law and procedure; International and European Union Law and Law and Economics.
The curriculum in Constitutional Law and General Public Law studies the classic issues of the two disciplines, as they were defined by Italian and European public law doctrine. Topics that refer to general, sectoral, state, supranational legal systems; to the sources of law; fundamental rights and legal situations, also with reference to multilevel protection systems in Europe; the dynamics of territorial decentralization; to constitutional guarantees and constitutional justice; to the government structures, with reference to the relations between the supreme bodies of the state, the local authorities and the institutions of the European Union.
The one in Administrative Law explores the transformation processes relating to the organization and functioning of public administrations and issues relating to the principle of legality and judicial protection against acts of the public administration. The research scope extends from the study of international administrations, and in particular its coordination with the national administration, to the analysis of individual sector issues such as food safety, environmental protection and competition.
The one in Criminal Law and Procedure proposes a didactic-training offer in a dimension attentive to the interdisciplinary framework of the criminal sciences, with the intention of stimulating doctoral students to a greater openness of their research, which takes into account the reciprocal interactions and influences with other disciplines such as prison law, criminology, forensic medicine and forensic psychology.
The one in Law and Economics promotes interdisciplinary legal and economic research activity, in order to improve the understanding of the reasons and effects of regulatory intervention, of the choices relating to institutional arrangements and of the problems connected to the enforcement of legal norms. The law therefore appears as an object of study, characterized by a set of behavioral incentives/disincentives, to be analyzed and studied through the use of economic instruments.
The one in International and European Union Law intends to offer advanced training in the field of transnational legal phenomena and the relationships governed by international law and by the law of European integration. PhD students will have to lead seminars and thematic debates in order to develop analytical and critical skills; activities that will be carried out in constant interaction with the other curricula in order to allow for the development of methodological perspectives of an interdisciplinary nature.
